AROUND THE BASES.
An Important Meeting or the Base
Bnli Association Last Ntght-Other
Notes
At meeting Of the directors of of the
Rock Island and Moline baseball club
held at the clubs headquarters last evens
ing considerable business was transacted.
After discussing the proposition of
changing the present single season to a
double one, the new season to begin June
10th, which is proposed by Secretary
McCaGll, it was decided to instruct
League Delegate Moore to vote for a
change of the season provided the new
season would not begin before July 10Th.
| in which case as was mentioned in THE
ARGUS few days ago, all would have o
fairer show Of getting somewhere near
the pennant which is now cinched by
Joliet. The directors also decided to
release kid" Browner as it was thought
it would be to the best interest of the
club to substitute another pitcher in his
his place, and Manager Sage was in
structed to secure either Cushman or
| Blauvelt, both of whom have been negc.
tiating with Mr. Sage and one of them
will probably be signed at once. Brown
er will probably catch on with some other
team and no doubt will remain in the
league and in other company may put up
better ball. Short Stop Lynch will play
again either today or tomorrow when
Joliet will be here.

bly, return to the East.

sger has released First Bssemsn Fuller

take place at Aurora June Z, when the
question of q double season will. be dis
posed of and other matters attended to.
Tonight at Harper's theatre occurs
the spsrring and wrestling exhibition.
Tommy Ryan will spar six DIS with
Prof. Coniey of Utica. n Y, and
Farmer" Burns will have a wrestling
bout with Prof. Weber of Moline. Other
exhibitions will also occur, and it will
no doubt be largely attended.
Peoria base ball crsnks have been
wondering why Secretary W. s. McCsull
should evince such an ardent desire to
push Peoria out of the II league and
drag Aurora in. Perhaps when it is
known that the astute secretary recently
purchased cigar, news and sporting
goods stand in Aurora, the wonder
nent will suddenly cease.-Terre Hsute
