LEAGUE MATTERS.
There was meeting of the COVER
nors of the local base ball league
1uesdny night in the Walsh block
The fact that Providence has taken n
hnnd In the leagues affairs, and caused
additional expense by causing the
fence mt Buchtel field to be blown
down. caused some discussion at the
meeting. The governors will make an
EFFORT to induce the trustees of the
college TO bear part of the expense
of repairing the fence about the
grounds.
The KirkwoOd club will soon begin
to sign players. This is the last of
the league teams to set about this very
important formality. hut 1t Is believed
that the Kirkwoods will have their men
chosen and safely bound by contract
In a short time. Among the players
the Kirkwood management has in view
are several well known for their base
ball work here In other seasons, and
for their records with college teams.
Forty feet of blcachers will he buile
OH both sides of the grand stand at
Buchtcl field before the league begins
business, running water will be pipcd
to the grounds, and the dressing rooms
under the grand stand, will be made
much more comfortable and conven-
lent than they have been heretofore.
The contracts for all improvements
Will he let In II few days.
