If suffi cient stock has been sold, a repre sentative will be named to attend th league organization meeting at Ktnston tdnight. If silent and unheralded moves spell .success, then Wilmington is sure to have professional baseball during the coming season. Tuesday three teams of solicitors canvassed the city for sub scriptions to stock in. the Wilmington baseball club, and iwhile -no reports were made, it was intimated by work ers that' they were well satisfied "With results achieved and that they would attend to some "mopping up" and gleaning during the next day or so, which would have been yesterday and perhaps today. On that account, no definite' report was available last night, but the smiles of those most rabid fans Indicate their efforts resulted in some thing nearer success thap failure. These fans feel that after .New Bern and Kinston have reported present in the financial column that assures base ball, Wilmington cannot afford to. fall down, or do what is technically lynown as a "Brodle." Fans in the two smaller cities,, where baseball plants are already erected, had to raise but 56,000 in each, but 16,000 is more to Kinston or New Bern than is $10,000 to a city the size of Wilmington. Therefore, it is regard ed as inconceivable that Wilmington will pass up the opportunity to get back in professional baseball. It will cost the local club approxi mately $4,S00 to build the fence, stands and bleachers and properly grade the playing field td be used by the Wil mington Tars. The remainder of the $10,000 desired will go toward putting the team on the field and paying all ex penses of the players, together with salaries, until customers begin making the turnstiles click. Two hundred shares of stock must be disposed Of, as each share is held at $50. Sometime to day or tomorrow the soliciting com mittees will report to the ways and means committee and that body definitely decide whether Wilmington shall be in or shall stay out of the pro posed Eastern Carolina league. Fritz Hanson is said to detest Kid Ellis, Dry Ponder, but Fritz's hate Is like unto that of a miser toward TOoney. , Yep, the twain held another "reunion" at Charlotte last night. club several years ago. He is the best handler of the augmented mit "on Mack's payroll. "If Wilmington fans really want baseball,, they've got but one thing to remember--mone.v is a much better talker than the chin.
