Sussex County viii Have Base
Ball League Next Season
Officials of the Sussex county base
ball league held a meeting on Friday
night which was attended by manag-
ers of the clubs composing the cir
cult during the season which closed
some days ago and many fans from
different sections of lower Delaware.
The business of the 1924 season was
closed up and plans made for the
1925 season. A certain portion OF the
money placed on deposit by the
,lubs this year was retained to meet
he expenses of getting the loop in
shape for next season.
1t is an assured fact that George
own, Milford, Millsboro, Dagsboro
md Milton will be in the circuit next
easOn, and there is every reason to
believe that Delmar will occupy a
Dlace also. Delmar fans did not have
! representative at the meeting, so
could not be ascertained what they
intend to do next year.
From the present outlook, the cir
uit will be composed of six clubs at
ny rate, as six towns have consent
d, it is understood, TO enter the cir
nit.
An effort is going to be made to
let the fans Of Greenwood, Laurel
nd Seaford Interested with the hope
hat they will Join. If Lewes again
nteTs the circuit and Greenwood,
44urel and Seaford join along with
)elmar, the loop will be composed Of
en- clubs. However, there are
nough clubs who have consented to
nter the league next season, it is
aid, to make it an assured thing.
II is the intention to make the
Chedule so that each club will play
hree or four cameo each week, and /
ONE time in February or March
leeting of all fans of southern Del
ware is to be called to whip things l
ito shape The circuit will be in full
wing, it is believed, by Memorial
ay. T
