FED LEADER TO
REoRGANIZE CIRCUIT.
Walter S. Ward Will Try to Stall Any
Attempt of Eastern Association OF
Starting.

1t is reported that Walter S. Ward,
hacker of the Colonial baseball league.
intends to reorganize the circuit short
ly and have everything ready for the
1916 season as early as possible. He
probably wants to stall any attempt on
the part of the Eastern association
people to come back" or consolidate
with the New England league. 1t Is
figured that a consolidation of the
Eastern association and New England
league would mean sure death for the
Colonials, without, of course, the Colo
NAL league is strengthened to such an
extent as to make competition by the
other leagues out of the question. Mr..
Ward is quoted as saying the Colonial
league will stick and another season
get the confidence and good will of the
baseball fans in New England. 1t is
figured Mr.. Ward killed his league this
season by letting Alexander BaEnwart
stick as the manager OF the organiza-
ton too long. When the Wards did
get wise and let Bannwart go, the
damage was done for this season. 1t
is up to them to start everything new
next season and they may get by with
the Colonial league. But it is doubtgul
If syndicate ball will ever amount to
much in New England, where the fans
are conservative and have been used
to having the clubs owned by differ
ent individuals and all fighting one
another for the pennant. No one
seemed to take any interest in the
pennant chase in the Colonial league
the past season and the possible pen
nant winner was hardly ever mention

EASTERN ASSOCIATION
WILL MEET NEXT WEEK.
May Mske Plans for 1916 Season or
Close Up for Good.

The Eastern baseball association will
hold a little meeting next month. The
league is booked annually for session
the third Monday Of October, but in
view Of the distressing conditions that
confront it there has been considerable
doubt that those interested would be
ready for meeting for a. few months
O'Rourke announces that the Eastern
association will positively hold its
annual meeting" Monday, Oct. Is, and
will probably be held in New Haven.
There will be no penDaut5 to give away
but. there may, be promises of fran
chises to make good. Just now Pitts
field, New London and Bridgeport are
the only members of the circuit" and
while there is no definite assurance
that there will be an Eastern associa-
ton next season, the surviving MEM
bers promise to do their utmost to line
up enough towns to form a circuit in
this section.
The league feels that 1t has fran
chises in Springfield, Hartford and
interested parties who want to get
franchises IN a real league but not in
a Lnakeshift, Organization. Tom Con-.
merry has been. mentioned as a candi-
date for the Hartford franchise, Mike
Finn for Springfield and at least three
or four men for the New Haven fran
chise. But ball parks in these cities
have who yet been mentioned for fell
lows who are in, the run for franchises.
and franchises without ball parks are
not very useful, even in the Eastern
association. The Eastern association
plans, though, to go ahead and dis
tribute the franchises so as to have a
quorum in case 1t takes a notion to
come back into baseball next season,
