SALARY LIMIT RAISED, PLAYER LIMIT
REMOVED AND CLUB FORFEIT DOUBLED
Action taken by the directors of
the Carolina Baseball Association at
its meeting here Tuesday has come
to light through Mr. E. G. Sherril,!,
who represented the Greensboro club
at the meeting' in an interview in The
Greensboro Record, that for some
reason was not given out for publi
cation at the meeting here.
After the secretary's report and
other matters pertaining to the past
season had been disposed of, plans
for the coming season were discussed
and action taken in several import
ant changes. According to Mr. Sher
rill the salary limit was raised from
r $1,200 to $1,400 and the clubs are
not limited to any number of players,
but may carry as many as they see
fit. But by far the most important
action was the raising11 of the forfeit
limit tax from $500 to $1,000, and
requiring that this amount be paid
into the association by October 5, in
order that the association may know
what towns wish to remain in the
league, and if any are to fall out to
select a successor to Same.
Several hew towns made applica
tion for a berth in the association,
but their applications could not be
acted on at this meeting for the rea
son that there was no vacancy. With
the enforcing of the posting of the
forfeit by October 15 there may pos
sibly be one or more vacancies, as
It is known that some of the towns
were mighty wobbly in the last days
of " the past season,- and are not in
shape noWy to post the forfeit, which
means that- they will be forced to
give up their berth to some more for
tunate town. . V
Wilmington and Asheville are both
very desirous of getting into this
company, and both are good base
ball towns. The city by the sea has
always been a good town for the
sport and held up the ."Eastern Caro
lina League during its existence. But
what it would do with a tail-ender
in this association Is problematical.
Asheville is a good ball town also
and 'wOuld do better, perhaps, than
some of the towns in the le ? '

too far from the other towns in the
league, and the . railroad mileage
would perhaps more than offset all
the good attendance that each might
be able to turn out.
Raleigh and Durham also want to
get In the association, and their com
ing in would help keep the league
as compact as at present Perhaps
it would he better to take in these
two cities if the league Is to be made
into a North Carolina League. But
that cannot be as long as the South
Carolina towns hold to their fran
chise, at least for another season,
when the present flve-year agreement
expires.
If such action was taken as noted
above it means that there will be
one or more new towns in the circuit
next year, but Just which towns will
be taken in Is yet to be decided up
on, and this will perhaps be done at
the next meeftng of the directors.
The following is taken from The
Greensboro Record:
Mr. E. G. Sherrill represented the
Greensboro club in the meeting and
returned, last nignt. One Of the note
Worthy changes made in the policy
cf the league by the directors, Mr.
Sherrill stated, was the raising of
the salary limit of the clubs from the
standard of $1,200, which obtained
last season, to $1,400 for next year.
Restrictions were removed which
will allow any club in the league to
hold as many players as its owners
may wish. ".
Yesterday the forfeit to be put up
by the clubs entering the league to
guarantee holding to their contract
jwas raised to $1,000 from $500, and
this will have to be posted with the
directors by October 15th. The
early posting of the forfeits will en
able the league directors to choose
the cities which will form the" league
and if there are any of the cities
who held franchises during the past
season which do not come Up with
the $1,000 it will mean that other
holders must be sought. Another
meeting of the directors will be held
after the 15th of October to form the
league.
Written requests were read at the
meeting from Wilmington, Raleigh,
Asheville and Rock Hill, all asking
for admission to the new league. No
action can be taken until after Octo-
