EASTERN SHORE IN
BASEBALL LEAGUE
Towns Interested in National
Pastime to Arrange Plans for
Next Summer.

Snow Hill. Nd, Nov. 26-Ncwarl,
1928 pioneer baseball town Eastern
Shore is conEratulating Snow IIill
upon Its decision TO play independent
baseball next season. Newark is a
little town, but It had baseball team
composed OF all Newark players
last season, that cleaned up wherever
It went, and II hopes to repeat the
performance next summer.
Franklin City. Temperanceville and
Chincoteague, three strong Virginia
teams. are commencing Snow Hill for
| Its decision to stay In the indepen-
dent circles. Each OF these towns
win have club and each OF the clubs
will book games with Snow Hill.
The suggestion has been made. and
| Il seems to meet with high favor. that
the Independent ball teams OF the
| Eastern Shore, next season, use local
talent in their line-ups.
Within the next 10 days the princi-
pal promoters of Independent baseball
| In the several peninsulnr towns OF
Maryland, Virginia and Delaware will
assemble in Snow Hlll and arrange
plans for next summer. At this meet
i us II WIN bc sthbtoiNu tiiah th'u
team be made up of local players, with
the exception of the battery and one
| infielder.
1t is believed that the adoption OF
such plan will tend to equalize the
| teams, regardless of the size of the
| towns they represent and at the
same time create a spirit of healthful
rivalry between the towns. The sug-
gestion has been made informally to
several of the magpates of last sea-
sons independent teams and each one
has expressed himself favorably con-
oerning il.
There was more or less feeling last
season between the contesting towns
because some of the towns were able
to pay higher salaries than others and
thus We're able to obtain the services
of better players. 1t was frequently
said during the season that clubs
composed of all local men, such as the
Newark team played. would find n
more generous patronage than was
given to clubs which employed play
ers from other places.
There is every reason to believe
that the independent teams Of the
Eastern Shore next year will be made
up principally of men living in or
near the towns on whose representa-
tive teams they play and that the
hired players will he strongly in the
minority.
| Newark. the team which because of
its strictly local personnel last year
was a favorite throughout the circuit,
promises TO organize an independent
team for next JASON, If the plan is
adopted and carried out; and there ARE
several other small towns which
count among their residents men of
ball playing ability which will or
ganize teams and schedule games, If
the ranks of few OF the bigger town
teams are not filed with paid pro-
fessional players.
