made up of cities in Alabama, Florida,

The decision to admit the b and C
class leagues to membership is taken
to indicate that President FultZ and the
board of directors of the fraternity are
going ahead with their plans for base
ball strike. and are seeking to place the
organization in a position to make 1t

the fraternity have declared their in
