Hudock, Little Bigger League president, who had indicated unofficially several times during the off-season that the Essos are out of business as far as Anthracite League campaigning is concerned, was optimistic, however, about the chances of the region's No. 1 semi-pro diamond circuits remaining in operation. "Instead of the Essos, there'll be a team of younger players entered as the Hazleton club," said Porky, "You can also look for younger players in the Jeddo, Con-yngham, and Pardeesville line-ups."
