PENSACOLA PLANS TO ENTER
new COTTON STATES LEAGUE

1t is known that Meridian, Gulfport,
Jackson, Selma and Vicksburg are in
terested and II is hoped that two other
towns can be swung into line. Montgorn
cry apparently is not interested, al
though that city was represented in an
earlier meeting called for the organiza-
ton.
Andalusia and Brewton are considered
possibilities, especially if those towns
should elect to unite on club to repre-
sent both towns, rotating the home SER
les between the two cities. Dothan has
also been suggested and il is possible
that a team, may be placed there.
Pensacola's interest in the league is
such that the committee has decided
there will be no difficulty in financing
the local club and details are being
worked out now.
Lucky Baldwin will leave for Meridian
tonight to represent Pensacola at the
organization meeting. Henry Wentworth,
who is deeply interested in baseball, will
also attend the meeting as an observer

LONDON. Jan. 10.-Any attempt by

at 90,S72 800 pounds.
The Spectator condemns the postwar
recrudescence of "navalism" under the
caption THE Naval Skin Game" Against

Either against America or Japan. We
should not be building against both for
an alliance between them against Great
Britain is incoaceivable.
I'VE want to say most emphatically
that in our opinion a competition with
America would be absolutely disastrous.
We hope the nation will never consent
to it,
Any suggestion of 1.-TWO keels to one
naval policy as directed against the Uni
ted States the Spectator dismissed as
ludicrous, and it underscores the phrase
1--WE must not form our policy on the
possibility of a war with America.
IF ever we joined with Japan against
America, we should have sounded the
knell of the British empire" the paper
concludes.

as sheer lunacy, also strongly opposes

to the British in 1924.
