will promote and arrange the county

to Williamsburg by machine.
The meeting probably will be held
next Monday evening at Williams

Indications are that the four lead
ing clubs Of Wayne county-Cam-
bridge City Hagerstown, Williams
burg and Richmond-will have no
trouble in getting together on the
county series deal. All managers
favor the series and though several
matters relative dates and playing
fienlds will have to be settled, it is
not expected that hitch will occur
that will tie up the plans for an early
