Herring Says He Will Quit Baseball If Present

That Another Sportsman Will Join N or-
walk Club—No Players Signed.
The Nortvalk baseball club is ex-
pected to complete its organization
in a few days. At the present lime
Edward Herring and Henry
Schmidt are the only two men in-
terested in the club. The long list
of other men has been down, leaving
these two sportsmen at the helm.
Another man is expected to be add.
ed to the group and then the local
team will be all set for the season.
Mr. Herring said recently that if
the N w York-Connecticut semi—
pro league does not go through as
planned. he will drop out of local
baseball. it seems that whether Nor-
walk will play this year hinges on
the outcome of the league. The lo-
cal club has been losing money for
a few years and it is getting more
difficult to find somebody to take
over the reins of the team.

now and probably final plans will be
completed at the next meeting in
Danbury. The Norman: team will
play all its home ‘gamcu in Amuse-
ment Park. No plans for signing
players have been made yet. The lo-
cal men will wnli until they havo
completely organized before they
begin to obtain players for the com-
