Notes of the Diamond.
President II. Nj. Sexton has called
meeting of all the officers in the
day of this week for the purpose of con-
sideIiug a proposition for extending
the season two or three weeks. AS it
now stands the last games will be
played Sept 8, and it is thought from
the enthusiasm now shown the pa
irons of the game will meet the prop
osition with favor.
Hopkins is able to do little work
once more. and is looking forward to
the time when he will be able to re-
sumo his place in the field.
Umpire Mesmer made his first ap-
pearanee on the local field yesterday
and on the whole gave a fair account
of himself. He is hard worker, and
il he makes a mistake IL will not be
because he was not there to see about
it.
When Hoy was taken oct in the
eighth Bobby Rothermel was scot to
second. 1t was his first appearance
since the club returned home from
the trip east, and he was given the
glad hand. His long illness has left
him pale and rather weak, but be has
reached the stage where recovery is
rapid. Owens finished the game at
third.
Louis Schmidt, president of the
Terre Haute association, is accom-
panyiDg his team on its trip. Mr.
Sch midi is gratifed with tie record
the league has made thus far and be-
l'eves it will live for years to come if
it's business affairs are kept in COM
petent hands and the public is pro-
vided an article of ball such as is
being put up by the several clubs.
Mr.. Schmidt says il is not because of
an inferior team that Evansville is so
far behind in the race. He says there
are too many loafers among the
players.
Decatur comes Friday.
Friday is ladies' day.
The ladies were out in force yester-
day.

Some complaint has been heard be-
cause all the players do not appear
in their new caps. Manager Sage |
says this is not due to any lack of APP |
probation of the new uniforms, bTt |
is due to the fact that the ca ps will |
not tit two of the boys. He says |
The caps are to be read iusted and all !
the players will be appearing in COM
pIete uniform in day or so.
The Rock Island Woodworkers
team is looking for work. The boys
say they have not been doing enough !,
