TWIN STATE LEAGUE
MAY BE REORGANIZED
Meeting in Bellows Falls Next Month
with That End in View Said to
Be in Contemplation.

Through some inspiration received
by the Springfield Republican it IS
learned that an attempt is to be made
in Bellows Falls to reorganizc the Twin
State league. The Republican article
follows:
An attempt will be made to reor-
ganize the Twin State league next
month at a meeting in Bellows Falls
This league does not start playing until
the middle of May, but in view of the
fact that new circuit must be mapped
it is felt that an early meeting is need
ed to give the proper view Of the
situation. Keene, Bellows Falls, Glare
mont, Brattleboro, Greenfield and North
anpton are all possibilities, though
whether the league viii have four OF
six clubs IS a matter that has vet to be
decided. In case the merger goes through
and means the elimination of Pitts
field, there is some chance that Twin
state promoters would consider Pitts
field and North Adams FOR theil
league.
