Each manager is urged to get as many men a.-* possible from the stores, street, or clubs that they re present and no tto branch out too far from their stores to get men to play. By building up these strong teims. the managers will gain nothing by it for they Will be dissolved as ?<>on as they are made up and not allowed to play. If a team improves after lea gue play Is started, that is a differ ? \t story, but no manager will be allowed to canvass the county fir baseball material to represent some business or organization in the city. The president of the league is strongly In favor of not allowing any team entered In the league to get a single player that lives outuld-? the city limits unless he Is a member of the firm represented or very closely connected with r in n buslnes* way. Without these limitations, the league will be a semi-pro organisation before the season Is ha 1 ' cvr. urd a failure, it is feared. The Tar Heels loot an extra inning game to State 7-6. and will be out for revenge Thursday. The team didn't look so good playing Wake Forest Monday, but Is expected to be back at its top stride for this ftn&t game. N. C. State Is standing well at the top in the Big Five face, and Will be as anxious for a victory’, as will the Tar Heels. TECHS LOSE ONLY TWO tSASEBALL MEN Raleigh.
