DURHAM NOT THE ONLY TOWN IN TROUBLE WITH N. W. B. A. It. is uld néws how that the Dur- ham Juniors were expelled from the North \\'ellinglou Baseball Associa- than. and while the case has not yet bwn dwppeal by the local club. it. is a. foregone conclusion that. as far as the Association is concerned, the locals will not. even get, a hearing be- fore the Executive. A few" {weeks ago We published a ccmn'lunicfitiorl from stretary R. E. Homing, Palmerston. explaining why the Durham Juniors had been given their walking paper, but even yet are are-not fully convinced that. the local club was justly dealt. with. «At a subsequent meeting of the xecutiw- of the ASsociation, the Durham club’s request for reinstate- ment was turnert down and the Mail and limmre contained the informa- tion in a'Tlispatch from Palmerston that the Durham Exeeutlve evident- ly didn‘t understand the situation and that the Secretary of the Asso- ciaion would write. them and put them right. SO far. this has nut been done. Neither has the Secretary answered a letter of three weeks ago from Secretary Banting of the Dur- ham Club on the same suspension, 4 l -While we are not altogether famil- iar with the rules and regulations of the North Wellington League. The Chronicle, like a good many others. feels that there is sonis;*thing wrong somewhere and wouitl like to see it. cleared up. That The Chronicle is. not alone in this opinion. anti that the Durham Club is not alone. either. in imagining it has been harshly and unjustly 'dealt with. is evidenced from the following irlfimment. from a recent. issue of The Milverton Sun: “The Durham Chronicle recentlv took seV eretV to task SecretarV Reube Horning a111’11t111 lixecuthe 01“ the North Welling-11111 Baseball As-t‘l' sociation tor 1111111111121111 a111it1'a1V'll action that that 111111; 1111111 in dis- 1 a 1' they had VV‘01'1'111ei1'1list1'ict bV 111:1- featins: Palmerston. \\ ith r11ga1'11 111 the merits 111' 11111 111511 \\1‘ 1-1111 1111- acquainted but VV 11 111111111“ that} Horning. as 1111511111111 of th 11 N H. 1.1.: 1111s still a V1'1'V' ”raV 11 re~11on~11111 iv; to 111~1ha111e VV ith regard to the sus-i pension 111' \\1111am Aikens of Mil-i VeIton. it' he 1111111: to maintain his reputation as a fa '1.i1'-n11111‘111 11 Spot‘lS- man.
