BLUE RIDGE MOGUL
AGAIN THIS YEAR

HAGERSTowN. Md. March O.
With the Blue Ridge League intent on
playing ball this season. ]. V. Jami-
son, jr.. OF Hagerstown. who rendered
his resignation as president, has been
asked to reconsider his action. II he
Is willing TO retain his position, he
will be reelected at the meeting OF
the managers on March 20.
The decision to continue tie circuit
this season has sent a wave OF salts
faction throughout the territory. The
managers voted unanimously that
the league will stick this year. but
with the probability that the circuit
will be reduced from a six to a four
team circuit, to comprise Hagerstown,
Frederick. Cumberland, and Martins
burg, W. Va. Gettysburg and Han
over, the two Pennsylvania towns
in the hague last year, are destined
TO fall out. IL is believed.
The league moguls decided to re-
duce the salary limit 500 from the
S1.lOO limit OF last season, and II is
tentatively agreed to cut down the
schedule to e'gH-y games for the sea-
son, which will open n few days be-
fore May 30 and close on Labor Day.
The player limit this season will be
held down to twelve men.

FIFTY PEOPLE ON
WHITE SOX VISIT
TO MINERAL WELLS

CHICAGO, March 9.-"Just now we
are sitting tight and waiting for the
time to come when we will start to
Mineral Wells" said Harry Gardiner,
secretary of the White Sox, today.
Gardiner refuses to be blue even IL
the sun Is hid.
I'VE have asked for no special
trains or anything OF the kind" he
continued. Il expect we will have a
party OF at least fifty people, and 1
have asked the railroads to indicate
in what manner they wish to handle
us. It Is Mr.. Comiskey's idea that
we should go along in the easiest pos
sible manner and by all means not at
tempt to place any burden upon the
railroads.
I'VE might have 100 people in our
party without any trouble. because a
lot of folk have signifed their de-
sire TO 60 with the worlds cham
pions. In normal times no doubt we
would travel south next week in ele-
giant style, and on a de luxe train,
but it's up to the railroads now. and
we will be satisfied with whatever
they give u.s.
II there is no special train probably
some of the champion players viH be
peeved and feel that their dignity has
been insulted, but that cant be
helped.
