According to the plans, the league

Edenton, Roanoke Rapids, Suffolk,
Petersburg and Elizabeth City, pro-
Tiding the latter town could and
would furnish a suitable baseball
field. Under the proposed league the
players representing the various
towns would be furnished by big

season, stated Monday that he had
been approached on the matter but as
y yet no definite decisions have been
made by the local group interested in
the Hertford club. They are waiting
to see just what develops from the
' "proposed organization.
If such a league is formed it could
provide a high type game for local
fans but several draw-backs in the
plan have already been pointed out.
With the interest shown during the
past summer there is no doubt but
that this section will have a league
next year, but it is also very likely
that some changes will be made in
