Will CALL MEETING
OF BASEBALL FANS
IN NEAR FUTURE
Plans Under Way To Form Baseball
League of Some Sort For the Com
ing Season viii Be Discussed
Then.

That a baseball massmeeting to dis
cuss league plans for the coming sea-
son will be called soon, has been made
public in baseball circles, but so far
no definite date has been agreed upon
1t is time, however, that some action
be taken if the fans are to see good
home baseball this year, as it is now
near March.
1t has been proposed that in view OF
conditions that it would be best to or
ganize a league of home players, say
five teams with no salaries attached
to players, but at the end of the sea-
son to divide what funds remain in
the treasury equally between all the
five teams, they in turn to divide
among the players.
Expensive baseball this year is out
Of the question it is said, and the local
league will solve the problem. Some
fans contend that nearby towns might
be taken into the league, thus making
the game more interesting and adding
pep to the playing. However, this mat
ter will be thoroughly threshed out
when the meeting is held. One pro-
posal is that four teams play double
headers at home on Sunday, leaving
the fifth team to fill outside dates, ro-
tatlng each team in turn.

and warehouses are located in Water
street 1t has grown to be one of the
big institutions of the city and the
company is now planning to erect a
large warehouse in a convenient loca-
ton to take care of their growing

not be more than per cent, the bal
ance being divided among the patrons
according to the value Of their pur-
chases, the non-shareholding patrons
receiving One-half as much as the
shareholding patrons.

during the five years of it's existence
has been large. 1t deals in groceries,
flour, feeds, eggs, poultry and like
commodities. 1t has an authorized cap
ital stock of $4,000, with $3.50 paid
