NO LEAGUE BASEBALL FOR WILMINGTON tHIS SEASON FATE DECIDES failure of Goldsboro Fans to Get in Circuit Automatically Eliminates City By the Sea Coastal Highway Plans to Be Made i At Brunswick Meeting on March 10 Chances for league baseball in Wil mington went a glimmering yesterday at noon when a telegram was received from Goldsboro fans announcing that the Wayne county folk didn't think enough of semi-professional baseball to debut into the proposed Eastern Caro lina circuit. This decision," following, the stand of the clubs taken at Kinston a week ago when it was decided that if Goldsrboro failed to enter the league ; Wilmington woulu be eliminated be cause of its distance from other cities, serves to automatically eliminate this city from consideration when the league is formed, if that should come to pass. Washington, New Bern and other cities mentioned for league member ship favor an independent organiza tion, one outside the pales of organized baseball. Wilmington and Goldsboro fans were avowedly' for professional baseball, organized according to Hoyle, or Judge Kehesaw Mountain Landis, and wanted nothing else. The message received yesterday from Goldsboro stated that Wayne county' fans didn't relish the idea of a near-circuit of supposed-to-be amateur players, and that the smallness of certain towns men tioned for membership also detracted from the merits of the plan of organ ization. The ways and means committee rep resenting Wilmington fandom was to have met at the chalrtber of commerce lyesterday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock, but the outspoken stand of Goldsboro fans on the league proposition sent this meeting to the bow-wows; it wan't held. Tonight at New Bern the league will in nil probability be or ganized with New Bern, Greenville, Tarboro and Washington getting berths, if membership in an independ ent loop can be termed as such. There yet a possibility that Wilmington be represented at this meeting, but his does happen, it will be some fan ose enthusiasm Is not easily damp ened who does the representing. ' The action,' of Goldsboro becoming general knowledge yesterday afternoon and last night, caused many fans to discuss the formation of a city league of from four to eight teams. It was believed by many that, a local circuit could be put , on a paying basis, pro vided the organization heads had suffi cient power given them to prevent squabbles which mitigated against the success of the'league in operation here a few seasons ago. Many fans, espe cially those who worked so hard and faithfully "to get the money subscribed to put a league team in the field for Wilmington, will regret that conditions have served to eliminate the "city from league membership once more, but their demand for professional baseball will probably result in what they want being realized throusrh the formation of an all-North Carolina league, of six or eight clubs, embracing cities now In the. Piedmont league, which may come to pass in the course of a few seasons. In fact, there in sentiment for ine zormation of such a circuit exist ing today, the backers believing that eisi. 01 mc largest cities in the stata, regardless of geographical location.

However, these figures are roughly estimated, and as the plans for the reclamation measures have not yet been completed by the engineer, exactly what the work will cost the beach residents is not known. Mayor Wright said yesterday that the concensus of opinion among the persons owning property at the re sort and others having interests there is that the jetties should be financed by a bond issue of approximately $25, 000, or about 50 -per cent of the ac tual valuation. At the present time there is-not one "penny of debt owed by the town of.

She is de clared to be a good speaker and a wom an of great personality. Charles M. Upham, chief engineer of the state highway department of Dela ware will deliver an address on ".Prac tical Road Building." Mr!

At the last meeting of the associa te, held in Charleston. S.

The secre tary of the Atlantic Highway associa-i tion. Fred G. Warde. Brunswick.

Market Street : i ' ' i 1 1 Wednesday there were rumors, to the effect that a number of the pilots. especially those who withdrew from the original -association some 16 years ago, would offer strong resistance to the passage of the bill, but it was learned yesterday from good authority that this was not so. that everyone of the river and bar pilots had signified their willingness to come into one standardized organization of rlvermen. The bill has already been drafted and sent to Raleigh and is probable that it will come up in the general assembly this week. No one doubts here but what it will be passed It was in 1905 that two factions sprung up among the pilots which re suited in about one-half of the "old salts" withdrawing from the original association . They' eventually formed the second association and from that time until a short while ago there has been going on ..what' might be termed a "nght between the two. associations Even though many. of the pilots were of a g eatly advanced age. some of them would risk life and limb to get aneaa oi tne. other fellow, At- the present- time there are 18 river and bar pilots licensed by the Board -of Navigation and Pilotage, After two hours ana m .
