that the Lincoln club viii be transferred

The association can do what il pleases
with it. Now that Milwaukee is out,
the association must be re0rganiZed on

Last evening it was given out that the
grounds and goodwill of the Minneap-

to-day. That is taken TO mean that the
Lincoln team Will come to Minneapolis.
Lincoln is anxious to finish the season,
and. as that club has made no trouble
for the association, the association IS
more kindly disposed toward it than
toward Minneapolis. The Lincoln team

remnant of the Millers viii play at Atii-
