tion.
A new rule adopted this year
been the cause of much discussion
At present it will be necessary
each team tc have on the
field three players under 20
of age, four players between the
of 20 and 35 and three players
are 35 or over. By having a
tion of this kind it is hoped that
of the business men of the town
will be encouraged to play.
While it is not desirable that the
sponsor of any team spend much for
playing equipment is has been gen
erally agreed that all players be
furnished with uniforms designed to
improve the general appearance of
the teams in action. The enevitable
question, “When do we start?" has
already beer, asked. The schedule
committee at this writing has not
been appointed. It is expected how
ever that practice games will be
gin very soon with the league sche
dule starting about the middle of
April along with the other major
leagues.
