This change was made today at tit request of a number of directors, mils meeting will be of great in terest to the fans of this part ot the state, for Just what towns will con' stltote the eastern Carolina League next year will be definitely decided Durham still stands knocking- at the door and asking for admission and it is thought that her application wiy. fe celve a favorable reply, iRaleigh says very positively that she wdl surrender her franchise if the Bull Cfty Is riot admitted, her representative will go to GoldsbOro Wednesday with those instructions... It Is hoped that the directors wilt get together and the meeting be harmonious. If the league admits Durham, as it probably will, Raleigh will take Im mediate steps to build a ball park that Will be first-class In every respect. Iny mediately after Wednesday's meeting the Raleigh Club will organize, provided , she stays In the League, the ground will be secured for the park and work will begin at once. The promoters hopeto make this park the best in the state, thereby being able to successfully bid for some of the great college baseball and football games. It is said that the V. P. I. is willing to play the next Thanksgiving game with A. & M. in Raleigh if she has the new park. The University Alumni say ' that Carolina will likely play two or more of her big games here next year. It is also reported that one of the "big league" teams will come here for spring practice. All these can easily be secured If we get the new park. Be. sides giving Raleigh the privilege of witnessing these big games without go, ing to'Norfoik and Richmond, the great crowds that will come here will be of material advantage to the city.
