week, as Princeton would have lost
games to us as they have just done
to Henderson's crippled and expir-
ing team. Something desperate
had to be done and Farnsbraker
undertook to do it.
Hopkinsville has won 600 per cent.
of the games played since June Is,
increasing its standing from 285 to
419. Out of SO games played, IS
were won. We broke even with
Vincennes in 4 games this week and
were anxious to get at Princeton
and Cairo before leaving hcme
again.
The clubs affairs are in good
shape, with players paid up to July
18th and ample resources available
to finish the season. The team will,
if allowed to play out, finish not
lower than third in the list.
The attempt to break up the
League was the talk of the town
yesterday and baseball ardor was
never stronger. Many offered to
contribute money to fight the out
rage through the courts.
Mr.. Farnsbaker can put this in his
pipe and smoke it: HOPKINSvILLE
is STILL IN THE X. l. T. LEAGUE AND
WILL STAY IN AS LONG AS THERE IS A
LEAGUE! /! /!
Yesterday Cairo wired Bomar an
offer of 500 and Morris S85, assum-
ing that we would be kicked out
and forfeit all our rights in players.
This shows one of Farnsbaker's mo-
tives in putting Hopkinsville out.
The players will not be taken from
their home team, but will fight it
out with the Association if it takes
all summer.
