The Western Base Ball League.

At yesterdays meeting Of the Western
Base Ball League at Chicago the first thing
attempted was the revision of the constitu-
ton, which was read section by section.
Only two changes were made, one in Sec
tion 5, relating to application for member
ship and one in section 6, which regulates
the fines imposed for violating the limit of
the salary list. The latter was entirely
wiped out. Instead of this, the different
teams have signed a separate agreement,
which has somewhat reduced the limit of
salaries, but just how much the members
were not prepared to say.
The old circuit will remain unchanged.

that. saying tIatif he did he would be indi-
