At meeting OF the directors Of the
Princess Anne Baseball Club, II was
decided Princess Anne would not be
represented on the diamonds Of the

The reason for such action at this

that a suitable ground could not be
obtained without going too far out

There are several lots that would
make an excellent ball park right at
the edge OF the town limits. but these
could not be secured for the purpose
except at prohibltive prices.
