TO Admission Into q Base

Sarcastic Vein,

! The following is a portion of an ar
| ticle from the Charleston, Ill.,, Courier
| relative to the future Of the Kitty
league:
Several rumors going the rounds
which state there will be no Kitty
league next year are pronounced
fa.e, as there will be a Kitty league
and the Urban park viii retain It's
franchise and will have league team
next year,
Jacksonville and Danyille, mem
bers of last years league. are trying
10 get into the Three Eye league and
will make it, providing they ATTAIN
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 ma ional 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
Ter.e Haute may be admitted.
The foregoing is the biggest joke
thai has been perpetrated in Kitty
| league circles since p d. Q. Green
published his last learned essay. Jack
onville and Danyille can get released
tom the kitty league by paying
$4,000 each. Oh. mercy, That is more
money than any of the teams in the
Kitty league except Jacksonville and
Danville saw last season. It sounds
lust like Ii emanated from the city
n Indiana made famous by the novel
Alice of Old Vincennes' and Eddie
Kolb Hub Perdue. ct al, members OF
he Kitty league team representing
Vincennes. We expect to get out OF
he kitty league and SO does Danville
and We don't expect il to cost cent.
Whether we do or don't Whether we
get into the Tive Eye league or don't
ret into it, Or for that matter
whether we don't get into any league
we are sure of one thing: We won't
he in the Kitty league. The fans who
support the game and the people who
put up the money to back he team
will not have it. so that is settled TOR
good and all so far as Jacksonville
is concerned. We also hope Danville
may cut loose. as she is too good
town to be tied up in that company
The news that Vincennes is knock
ing TO get into the Kitty league next
year is also startling 1t has appeared
10 us since the close of the season
that Nincennes was about all that was
left of the Kitty league. OF course,
We always knew some of Ninccnnes
population were adopts in the knock
ing line. About the only thing Vim
cennes, Cairo and Paducah are eligi-
BILE to knock for admission into at the
present Is the baseball cemetery In
stead Of any league We wish Mat
toon and Charleston luck in their re
organized league. We hope the town
viii form a strong enough association
o get the team some new suits SO
that the ones they wore last season
nay be renovated This would be
big lob to tackle. but it should b.
lone for the good of the health of the
community if nothing else. Don
hold your breath, however, or depend
IN the $500 from Jacksonville and
DaayiIle To help pay the new leagues
Expenses. Just go ahead cultivating
The broom corn crop in that section.
~ IS the easiest and surest way to get
The money.
