W. M. Moore, One of Leading Lo
cal Fans, Believes Charlotte
Will Have League Team. '
VV. M. (Bud) Moore, popular reg
ister of deeds, believes that league
baseball in North Carolina is coming
back in North Carolina next spring,
and coming back with a vengeance.
Mr. Moore haa. been interested in
Charlotte teamrfor several years arjd
at one time was a catcher of no
mean ability himself.
"If the boys in the service get back
before spring, I feel assured that the
North Carolina league will again be
put in operation," said Mr. Moore
when asked yesterday what the out
look for the national pastime in Char
lotte was in his . opinion. . '
Charlotte had a' chance to enter the
South Atlantic league two years ago
and again last spring, but decided to
remain with the North Carolina or
ganization. The class of ball played
in the two Teagues in the past was
about equal, according to Mr. Moore.
Mr. Moore also stated that in case
the North Carolina league falls to re
open In 19J9, it is not Improbable that
a franchise will be accepted in the
South Atlantic, as that organization is
practically sure to begin operations if
the-proper cities can be induced to
take berths.
That the time Is propitious for
starting the "ball a-rollihg" was the
opinion o'f Mr. Moore, and It is possi
ble that several Charlotte business
men will be called together within a
short time to discuss the baseball situation.
The following deeds were filed for
record In the office of the clerk.of the
superior court, C C. Moore, yesterday:
John Ik Howe and wife to William
J. Kerr, for, "ll,279,vplot of land In
Providence township.
