Cairo Is Reconciled TO the Sec
retary's Fate.
Fans There Are Satisfied with What
ever the Other League Towns
Decide Co DO.
HENDERSON TEAM ORGANIZES.

The Cairo Bulletin is satisfied that
Secretary Farnbaker is to be shely-
ed, and says:
That Cairo will be dropped from
the Kitty league. unless she consents
to adopting the plans for next sea-
sons league that are wanted by the
majority of the clubs is the predlc-
tion that is now being made in the
league cities. and which bid fair to
come true. There was time when II
WAS thought Kitty league could not
exist without Cairo. but that time is
at an end now that the receipts from
last season have been shown up.
Cairo Is a good Sunday city, but poor
during the week. She Is wanted in
the league, but can be gotten along
without, or else after she drops out
another party of men can be gotten
who will take the franchise. With
Mr.. Farnbaker out of the league, and
there is no question but that his po-
stion as secretary is as good as lost
to him the officials should have no
trouble agreeing upon circuit. The
trouble in the affairs of the league
are between Farnbaker and others,
and as Others" agree, the dropping
of the secretary will make all harmo-
ny again.
AS the meeting draws nearer and
IL is seen Farnbaker will be shelved
the skies look better for harmony
than for war and 1t is believed that
IL the first action taken is the bounc-
ing of the secretary, the magnates
can get down to business, and in
half a days time decide upon a cir
cult and arrange the other details.
Six clubs are enough for the league,
and ii is to be hoped that no more
than this will be used. Princeton
should be taken In by all means and
Clarksville dropped, or else take In
Princeton and greensboro and drop
both GAINESVILLE and Hopkinsville. II
Cairo is one to pull out giye Princes
ton her place and let the league
stand as 1t did last season. John
Rays idea to make a guarantee OF
$500 on Sunday. providing there is
no rain, is a good one, and will
knock out GAINESVILLE and Hopkins
Vile If the league wishes to lose
them"
In the matter of shelving" Mr..
Farnbaker because of trouble be-
tween him and Others" It may be
said that IL the league secretary is
at outs with "others" 1t is because
they are attempting to impose upon
him to the detrlment of the league.
There is no one connected with the
league but will admit that Secretary
Farnbaker has done more for the
organization than all the other OFF,
GERS combined, and while they were
taking life easy he was making trips,
burning midnight oil writing letters
and doing many other things in the
interest of the organization. The wri-
ter is in a position to know some
thing about the duties of the secre-
tary when properly looked after and
the man who holds the place earns
every cent he gets. II is safe to say
; that no man will be found to con-
> duct the leagues affairs as they have
been by Secretary Farnbaker.
The hope that Cairo will pull out
and allow the three poor towns TO
bankrupt the league is a forlorn one
When Cairo pulls Paducah will pull
and simultaneously will Vincenn'
pull and then, II Henderson and
Hancock are able to run a league OF
