for the fight and proposes to make IL inter-
esting for the men no have aided in rob-
bing them OF the services of their players.
Blue seems to have the call as a color for
the home uniform trimmings, while dark
blue, with red trimmings. has jumped to
the front rs accumulation for the suit to be
worn away from home. Considerable inter
est is being taken in this matter, and thirty
nine answers were received last week TO
the Journals invitation for suggestions,
and the vote now stands: Dark blue, red
trimmings. 2s; dark blue. white trim
mings. 2G light gray. black trim.
mings. -; gray. maroon trimmings, IL;
dark maroon, aseal-brown trimmings, ii;
blue gray, blue trimmings, 2. On the color
for the home uniform trimmings the vote
seal brown. 2. The polls will be open but
two weeks longer. SO serd along your
choice of colors. The combination receiv-
ing the most votes will surely be the
uniform adopted by the club. and the
white home suits will be trimmed with the
color receiving the highest vote. All per-
sons interested in baseball are invited 10
send in their favorite colors.
The article in the Journal in reference to
the New York Worlds telegram to Presi-
dent Brush asking price on the Indianap-
oils players, as the League has decided to
drop indianapolis and Washington" and
the statement that the brotherhood organs
were trying hard to write this city
ont of the League. called forth
a personal letter from q. III. Dickenson,
the baseball editor of the World. He
wrote to Mr.. Brush, stating that his paper
dermine the Indianapolis club and dis
claims any personal feeling in the matter
other than one of warm regard for the club
and management.
If the New York League club had any
show to get Danny Richardson away from
the Brotherhood, as telegraphed out the
other night, Director Appleton certainly
ruined it by advertising the matter as lie
did. 1t Is very poor policy to publish to
the world the possible or probable securing
of player, and. unless Mr. Appleton had
Richardson's name to contract, his IN
tination that he would sign the second
baseman was not only impolitic, but foolish.
Harry Smith returned yesterday from
MuncIe and Anderson, and says the State
League is on solid basis at last. The
greatest rivalry exists between the two
points just named, and good stock compa-
nies have been organized. the stock all be-
ing held by prominent business men. At
Anderson work on the new ball park,
which is to be beauty, has been COM
menced, and the management is signing
players. The cry being anything to beat
Muncie.' the latter city will have grounds
on the dummy railroad, and the signing of
players will commence this week. Inc
next meeting of the State League viii be
held at Wabash next Thursday, when the
finishing touches are to be put on the new
organization.
The Y. NJ. c. A. league will furnish some
good amateursport this season. 1t is COM
posed of four clubs. the captains of which
are Russell Eckman Will Churchman, A.
Il. Cornelius, and Boone Mckee. There
will be- meeting of the league and the
Outing Club Tuesday evening to arrange
a schedule of games.
The indianapolis club has notified it's
men to report March II. and responses are
coming in slowly, but surely. Buckley
wrote to President Brush the other day.
that he was in better trim, and was i'm
patient for the season to open. He is en-
thusiastic over the prospects, says Indian
apOlis is ont for the penDant, and subscrlbes
himself Dick Buckley. Catcher of the
Champion League Team for 1880"
