Not only will this city be again represented on organized baseball this season, but there are reports that in efforts to form a new league, Charles F. Car penter, former Tri-State president, will be selected to lead the new or ganization. Back of the movement to have baseball in Altoona is the re cently organized Chamber of Com merce. F. G. Paige, of Pen-Van, N. Y., is back of the new project. In a letter to the Johnstown Tribune he comments upon the advisability of the. new league. He suggests that a six-club league to include Altoona, Johnstown, Mc- Keesport, Butler, Connelsville and Uniontown, would be about the proper thing. He would also drop the i. and P. League proposition and name the new circuit the Pennsylvania State .League. He is influenced to give up the Ohio towns because Steubcnville and East Liverpool have lost their ball parks and are not enthusiastic about baseball just now. Paige has ap proached a Johnstown man about be coming president of the new league. KNH.VUT IN THE FIELD The Enhaut baseball team is in the field.
