Decatur Coming Up.
There were three doubIe-headers in
the league yesterday and Rockford
and Decatur fattcned ~:Ieir percent
age i'm the operation. Springfield play
ed ia apparent hard luck, getting the
short end of two close scores. The
boost given Decatur placed that club
in, hn " -
behind Bloomington. This renders
the race more interesting than ii has
been at any time for several weeks
past. y Slight wobble on the part of
Bloomington between now and the
end of the season is apt TO put that
team in second place. In every town
except perhaps in Bloomington it
would give satisfaction to see the
| present leaders given at least a rea-
sonable run for the pennant. If the
team met with as stubborn Il PROPOSE
ton everywhere as here, from this
on il * likely that others besides De
catur would have a look in.
