! The following Is a portion of an ar
| ticle from the Charleston H., Courier
trelatve to the future of the Kitty
league:
Several rumors going the rounds
which state there will be no Kitty
league next year are pronounced
false. as there viii be a Kitty league
and the Urban park will retain its
franchise and viii have league team
next year.
Jacksonville and Danyille, mem
bers Of last years league, are trying
70 get into the Three Eye league and
will make it, providing they abtaia
the permission Of the remainder OF
the clubs fthe Kitty,
The two clubs mentioned can
have their release by paying $500
each, as they must buy their release
the same as a player. Should they
fail TO do this the national agreement
would bar either city from entering
another league.
Paducah and Cairo will remain
with the present league, as will also
Urban Park. Vincennes and several
cities are knocking for admission.
Possibly Decatur. East st. Louis or
TarGe Haute may be admitted
The foregoing is the biggest joke
tina. has been perpetrated in Kitty
eague circles since p. d. @. Green
published his last learned essay. Jack
onvule and Danyilie can get released
nom the kitty league by paying
81. 500 each oh, mercy! That Il more
money than any of the teams in the
Kitty league except Jacksonville and

The news that Vincennes is knock
