country that it experiences a sense Of

BASEBALL.
The League Meeting In This City To-

The League Meeting in This City To-
day.
At the postponed meeting Of the Con-
necticut State Baseball league, which
will be held in this city this afternoon,
number of matters of importance will
be discussed. Among these will be the
desire of some of the directors to in
crease the circuit from six, the prestne
number, to eight clubs, and the final
determination of the meeting on this
matter is awaited with interest by the
devotees Of the game throughout the
state.
The clubs represented in the league
now are Bridgeport, New Haven, Wa
terbury, Meriden and New London, and
either Danbury or Norwich will COM
plete the number. i9
Application for admission has been
received from parties who desire to
place teams on the diamond in Newport
and Pawtucket. Both of the cities are
said to be first-class baseball centers,
fully capable Of supporting team and
also allowing a visiting club to derive
some income above it's travelling eX-
penses
Some Of the directors of the league
are in favor of granting franchises in
these two cities, and they are hopeful
of persuadng the doubtful ones when
the matter is brought before the meet
ing for discussion. At any rate, it is
probable that the circuit will be COM
plated at the meeting to-day, but it re-
mains to be seen whether or not the two
Rhode Island cities are admitted.
A circuit committee will be appointed
for 1899 and the much-mooted umpire
question will in all probability be set
tied, for the present at least, by the ap-
pointment of committee to handle this
troublesome problem.
