been member of the Meridian base
ball team, has been released by the
management and returned to his home

Veals the fact that the fault lies with
the fielders in piling up errors. Mr.
Carey Hendrey, who was with the
Carrollton team the past season was
with Meridian this year, but he has
also been released, and is at this
time spending a few days with friends
in Carrollton.
