 A meeting of the Industrial Baseball league was held Monday evening at the Y. M. c. A. and plans for the sea- son of 1920 were talked over. One of the most important subjects of discus sion was the awarding of the pennant for the year just past At the end of the baseball year of 1949 Mills No. 5 and 6 had won Y games and had lost 1. The team from Smith Winchester had won 6 games and had lost 2. Each of these three teams had two can celled games on their schedule at the close of the season which had not been played off. The Smith Winches- l ter team refuses to concede- that they have lost the pennant as they claim that by winning their two cancelled games they would be able to win if | the teams from Mills and lost | both of their games According to | the rules used in the big leagues each team must complete their scheduled number of games during the season. The local teams evidently forgot this ruling when they made the by laws of | the club and because it was omitted ] the tangle has arisen. After consid- l erable discussion it was voted that a committee composed of Messrs | Champlin, Smith and Elmendorf be | given the power to look over the i standings of the teams and decide which of them should be awarded the 1 pennant. This committee is to hand l in their decision at 8 meeting of the league to be- held at the Y. M.
 c. A. Friday night. The same, com | Tnittee was appointed temporary di- l rectors of the league with power to 1 line things up in the local baseball I world for the season of 1920. Preced- | ing this meeting there was a meeting | of those interested in the forming of
 a basketball league in the city. Five l teams have signified their intentions of Joining the league if it is formed l They are two teams from the Ameri- c9n Thread Company Mills. and one team from each of the following Windham Silk Company.
