Mr.. Louis Heuermann returned last
night from Fort Worth. where he at
tended the meeting of the Texas Base
ball association. of which he is pres
ident. He reports the meeting most
harmonious one and says that pros
poets for n successful baseball season
were never brighter.

Light. was held for the purpose of
considering applicatiOnst for member
ship of the association from DeniSOn,
Sherman. Paris, New Orleans and
Shreveport. and also for the purpose
of adopting Il schedule. An important
question was the admission to the as
ISOLATION of two more clubs, thereby
enlarging the circuit. All the cities
of the association as well as the APP
| plicantS were represented. After con-
sidering the various applications and
comparing the advantages of the cities
it was decided to admit Paris and Den
isOn and Sherman. The two latter cit
les will be represented by one club,
while Paris will go it alone. Paris
was anxious to get in and gave suf-
ticinet assurance that il would support
team for the season. That city Of
fered to give bond of $1,000 that it
would hold up its end, and more than
that guaranteed to give $50 for week
days and 500 for Sundays and holt
day for every game played in Paris.
Immediately upon being admitted
the Paris representative. Mr.. Neville,
telegraphed TO Mr.. .JantZen. to sign his
team. 1t is expected that either Crit
fin or Bammert will be Paris short
stop. and JantZen will see that the
balance of the team is equally as good

DeniSOn-Sherman team. He Will
transfer the entire team he intended
