Work on the new five room

it completed within the next
few days.
Just a few of we correspond

we not? Rather gloomy |and
not much doing but we could
furnish a few news items each
week. Our clever “pencil push

the delinquents as well as my
self, so let’s all get busy and fill
in our space each week.
Mr. and Mrs. Thurman West
have moved into the house re

few days in the
sa^ League By Sully, The
Raver Of Jonesboro.
The possibility of base ball
for every aspiring town always
buzzes after the big league meet
ings by the great white way of
New York, and it’s the same
thing this year, says A1 Sullivan
of the Jonesboro Tribune, who1
has the never-die ball spirit.
After Christmas and its hurry j
is over the fans all get a little
bit flurried at what is in sight I
for summer.
It is the sftme in Jonesboro,
Paragould and other burgs and;
the question whizzing around
right now among the real bugs j
is, “Are we going to have base
ball in 1912.”
Why not? It is true that the
local experiences have been los
ers and so were the ventures in
the N. E. A. L. towns. Now
why? When the promoters got
the league bee they thought of;
enough sane tricks to make the j
venture a success and the towns
fell for the game. They enter
ed the league and were anxious
for the gong. Players were se
cured and the salary limit ad
hered to until one club stuck its
nose out in the lead. Then came
the advice to get Matty, King
Cole, Pop Anson or some other
old scout to beat them pesky
fellows and “fluey” went the
whole queso. Transportation to
old heads with glass whips,
cricks in their backs, a bunch of
hotel ginger and long acquired
thirsts was the result and the
race waxed Hot. Limits went
sky high and with the aeroplan
ing of payrolls came the hob
goblin of distress. The flag went
up and so did the league. Other
managers copped the good
youngsters and the N. E. A. L.
magnates got the dizzy exper
ience.

Now for a^uggestion. Ijow
would it do to interest Ba^es
ville and Newport again; let
Hoxie and Walnut Ridge put in
a team together, then wind up
with Paragould and Jonesboro
and add Poplar Bluff? Not so
bad and the enthusiasm would be
great; the rivalry keen; the
games battled as if for blood
and with a $600 limit adhered
to would give some snappy ball.1
Each club develop two players1
for the draft price of $600 andj
the crowds usually obtainable j
would see the clubs more than1
splitting even on the year. If j
necessary have but four clubs
and cut down the mileage by j
omitting Poplar Bluff and Bates
ville.
A year of this kind of ball!
would open the way for th? good ;
old game and the leagues could
pick up in prestige, class and sal-!
ary lists, when the “Arkansas.
on Wheels” brought in another
20,000 homeseekers to swell thej
gate receipts. And gently re- i
