THREE-EYE LEAGUE PROSPECTS.
Joliet and Dubuque Complete an
EiEht-Clab Circuit.

iEft IbII SPECIAL.
Bloomington, Ill, Dec. S-President III. n.
Sexton OF the Three-Eye League will prob
ariS call the special meeting of the six
remaining clubs within the next two weeks,
as he has met with unexpected luck in
hIalng Two tirSt-ClaSs cities to take the
place Of Evansville aud Tcrre Haute..
The iluSe OF Springfield in dropping out
even before Mr.. Sexton had a chance TO
visit the place and discuss the question of
admission was looked upon as a somewhat
gloomy aucury for tha future of the league.
II was feared that other cities under dis
cuSsien would lay down equally fiat. but
Joliet and Dubuque demonstrated that there
was a different quality of blood in their
veins. President Sexton in all probability
will make 4 recommendation that the two
towns named he given three-year franchises
and the various directors will speedily ac-
quiesce in his recommends tions-
Joliet has always been a profitable town
for Sunday games especially and will likely
average up well during the weekday con-
tests. The roliing-mill population always
turns out strongly where there is baseball
in sight and the quality put up by the
Three-Eye teams Will undoubtedly satisfy
the people of Joliet.
Al TeDeau should prove a good manager.
His success with the semiprofessional Jol-
let Standards is well known. The Joliet
team Will have q first-class pitcher In Lett
nan to start with. and can use several
others OF the Standard team. With the as
Sisttnce OF President Sexton a few more
good players will be signed and a strong

manage the team in that city. He will

would prefer either Rockford or Dubuque.
~ Is not likely that President Sexton
VIII waste any time upon Danville. Quincy.
lafayette, Ind. or other pFospec-
i've c4ndidates for admission to the league.
None nave betrayed the enthusiasm and in
terest which marked the Joliet and Du-
hnque candidaeies. and it is probable that
the president will content himself with the
fecommencatiCns in favor of Joliet and Du-
buIue. Their addition makes an ideal cir

The embalmers Of the body remembered
to have seen an abrasion on one OF the
muscles OF the back. below the shoulder
