Local Directors Give No Encourage

Also Under Discussion.

4 meeting between Directors Bement
and Harris of the Northampton Base
ball association and Directors George
h. Sherman and f. j. Fenton of the
BrattleborO Baseball association was
held in the Brooks House Saturday af
ternoon at the request of the North
ampton men. 1t was an informal af
fair, but it concerned principally the
attitude of BrattleborO toward the ad
mission of Holyoke to the Twin State
league circuit. The visitors left with
out obtaining the impression that Brat
tleboro was enthusiastic over the adj
mission of that city to the circuit, al
though neither of the local men pre-
tended to voice other than his individ-
ual sentiments.
The visitors counted Bellows Falls
out of the circuit because of the tinan-
cial affairs of the association in that
town. Newport, they figured, without
Bellows Falls in that territory, would
be an impossibility, and this would
necessarily leave Keene out in the
cold. They argued that there was no
other solution but Brattleboro, Green
held, Northampton and Holyoke.
They were asked why they did not
hitch up with Holyoke, North Adams
and Pittsfeld and said they did not
want to get into circuit with those
cities. They preferred Twin State ball
with such towns as had been represent
ed in the circuit last year and Holyoke
added in place of one of them, of Hol
| yoke added and three others dropped
| leaving a fOur-team league.
| The Brattleboro men told them they
could not speak for anyone but them
| selves, but they did not believe that
local sentiment approved of Holyok6
being a member of the circuit. The Wis
itors were informed that a meeting OF
the directors would be held in the i'm
mediate future and that the matter
would be put before them and possibly
put before the public for a general eX
preston of opinion.
In the course of the conversation
comparison of expenses, so far a
ground rental is concerned, was made
and the visitors said that they paid las
year $3.50 for the rental of the ground
and sold privileges that Melted $l65
The association, however, paid for tn
cutting of the grass and the keeping
of the diamond in condition.
This was compared with the pay
ment by the local association of Owe
i 1900 last year for the use of Islam,
park for ball games, and the visitor
were unable to understand how Brat
tleboro could come anywhere nea
financing a ball team with such
ground expense. They were told tina
if it had not been for the loss of fou
home games on holidays because o
rainy weather the local associatio
would have come out almost even, an
they found this still harder to believe
In connection with the baseball situf
tion it is interesting to note the Ell

come Rev. Mr.. Hewitt to Brattleboro
because he felt that a church set in a

of pastor and people would be success

In delivering the charge to the church
Rev. Frank H. Leavitt of South Yer

in church work was a hearty co-opera-
ton of the people under their pastor s
leadership.

the principal speaker at the banquet of

He is quoted in the Springfield Sunday
Republican as saying:
1--WE don It want to hitch Holyoke

tie up with such towns as Hartford and
the like we had better have no base
ball team at all. -
This statement by DIR. Lyon expresses
exactly the view of many Brattleboro
fans, except that he speaks from the
viewpoint of the city man and the local
fans express their views as men from a
town. Local fans say:
eve don It want to hitch up with a
city the size of Holyoke which has a
much larger field to draw from"
In Holyoke they regard DR.. Lyon s
statement as one that will have consid,
cradle weight.
