y dispatch from Lafayette, Ind,
says: Lafayette will be in the Three
l league next year. This statement
is founded on the fact that a number
of local promoters will file articles
of Incorporation in a few weeks with
a capital stock of So 800. for the pur-
pose of organizing a baseball club,
renting grounds and maintaining the
club as a member of the Thrce-I
league. or a member of the organiZa-
tion that embraces Three-I league
cities next year. IL. III. Miller, vice
president of the Three-I league and
manager of the Decatur team, at
one time controlled the team at this
place when Lafayette was in the In
diana-Illinois league. He has sent
assurances to J. w. Schooler. of this
city, that he will give all his support
to Lafayette toward securing a
Three-I league franchise. He also
expressed desire to get Danvillc,
Ill. into the league and close out a
number of the Iowa teams in order
to make a closer concentration of
the circuit and lessen the distance of
the ''iumps." In addition to j. w.
Schooler. his associates in the pro
jected baseball enterprise VIII be
Patrick Fitzgerald, j. \. Hayes, Il.
w. Mcdonald, and it may be that
Henry MilIer'wilI have a share in the
stock. An option has been secured
on grounds. and Danville magnates
have assured their support in bring
ing the two cities into the Thrce-I
league.
Safe Bunts.
Owing to the condition of the dia-
mond and the threatening aspect of
the weather it was decided this af-
ternoon to postpone the game till to-
morrow. when double-header will
be played. The first game will be
called at 2:15.
Dickey jumped Evansville last
night.
Scratch hits were the feature yes
terday and Evansville got the most
of them.
MiIIer's injury, it is now believed,
will not be as bad as was at first
feared. His physician thinks he VIII
be back in the game after a couple
of days.
O'Leary's first play on the nome
grounds was star performance.
fly was knocked back over his head
with two men on base in the second
inning that looked about like two
runs. O'Leary appeared to misjudge
il and ran back in circle coming
ND with the ball at right angles and
effecting conjunction with it that
surprised everybody.
