The Kitty Leaugue got busy yester-
day and played two rafting good
games. Whether today is to be the
last of the league remains to be seen.
At a meeting of the directors of the
league held here Sunday it was decid-
ed to continue the league indefinitely,
but Mr. NJ J. Farnbaker, who went 10
Cincinnati Monday to represent the
league at a meeting of the National
Base Ball Association held in that city,
wired back that permission had been
granted the Kitty to reserve its play
ers for next season and quit Thurs
day" and some seem to think the lea
que will end today. Unless the direc-
tors of the league have changed their
minds since Sunday night, the league
win not quit today, and there is no way
for it TO be stopped except by the di-
rectors agreeing to stop. This they
declined to do Sunday
Vincennes defeated Paducah yester-
day, and if the league does end today
she has won the pennant. The club
