the New Castle teams would bo repre-

assured when IL was announced that
applications for membership had been
received from the p. n. r. team. VIII
del, parkside and Fame Actlves. These
four teams sent representatives 10 last
nights meeting. The old member OF
the league favored a six club league and
10 is likely that the new league will be
limited TO this number. 10 was argued
that a Sax team league would be more
evenly balanced as to playing material
than a larger organization at this time
when many Of the best BAN players OF
the city are in the military service.
The fact that Brandywine snd Pio-
neers did not send representatives TO the
meeting caused some surprise. The alb
sence OF the representatives. however,
was not taken 90 mean that these clubs
would not play ball this year. 10 Is
true that the Pioneers have sent many
OF their ball players 10 The colors, but
10 was said the club had within It's
membership many players under and
over the draft age who could give a
good account OF themselves In the
league. The consensus Of opinion seem
I'd TO be that Brandywine was holding
out until next week. The same opinion
was advanced as to the New Castle sit
uation. The rivertown boys have beer
hit hard by the draft also, but 10 was
said there is enough baseball maieria
