A meeting of the Pennyrile League
was held IN this city Wednesday, the
following clubs being represented:
Owensboro, by Edward Cans, of
Louisville; Russellville, by Thos.
Rhea; Nashville, by Allan Fox; Hen
derson, by 0. S. Lawrence; Hopkins
vile, by H. H. Alternately, and Mad
isonville by j. B. Galbreath, who
held their proxy. The former formal
organization of the league was merg-
ed into new one, with Edward
Cans, President, and j. B. Gal
breath, Secretary. 1t was agreed
to admit Nashville and Russellville
into the league. A schedule commit
tee, composed of Messrs. Cans and
Fox, was appointed and are now busy
at work arranging the dates for the
season and will make report to the
Secretary here next Monday. Regu-
lar league rules were also agreed upon
to govern the games. The season
proper opens Monday, May IL.
Where the Hopkinsville team will be-
gin the season has not yet been agreed
upon. The Hopkinsvillo boys
are in excellent trim and
will no doubt make it lively
for the other mines composing the
league. Our club last season won
large per cent. of the games played
and it is believed that we have a
much stronger aggregation for this
years report and it is safe to say that
all the games to be played at Athletic
Park, in this city, will be well at
ten6ed

Caught a Tartar,

Deputy Sheriff Robt. Davis arrest
ed Henry Gather, COL, at Gracey,
Wednesday, on a warrant charging
grand larceny. He was brought to
this city and being unable to give
bond, was put in jail. Gather is &C
cused of stealing a pistol. After be-
ing placed behind the bars the pris-
oner talked freely to Jailer William
son and if his statements are facts he
has been leading a pretty wild life
for some time. Gather says he is a
"crack crap shooter" and on a recent
occasion when he won the stakes and
his opponent seized the money he
drew his pistol and fired two shots at
him, one shot of which his friends
said took effect. He admits having
figured in other crimes and it would
appear from his story that he is a
very bad man. His examining trial
will be held before Judge Breathitt
