The Distillers have been dubbed the
poison squad" since the story they
told of having their water doped at
Springfield has been circulated.
The Turnipseed playing with
Springfield is not the one of old
known to Three-Eye in other seasons.
He is an amateur picked up from Nc
Lean county to fill in.
The Indiana-Ohio league has given
up the ghost owing, it is said, pa1t ly
to bad management. Patronage has
been poor and bad weather gave the
teams a bum start in the spring.
Manager Mccarthy is credited with
having the blues. The Decatur Re-
view says he is convinced that his
team will not be able to keep the
pace much longer This is good dope
for Decatur. anyhow.
According to the figures received
by President Lotus the Fourth of
July receipts in the league were as
follows: Springfield, s1,O67.55; Cedar
Papids. s545.2O: Clinton, s493.43; De-
catur. $437.60; total of $2,543.S0. The
leagues part of this, 10 per cent, is
$25E.3S, leaving the remainder to be
equally divided among the eight clubs.
Thus giving each club $2S6.1S.

deal does not go through.
Prospects of losing the park and

Under baseball laws, the objections
of any one club in either league will
kill the trade and very likely some

DanVille's advent would increase the
mileage.

land lost a double header to Dubuque
yesterday, the first A to 1 and the sec

kept the bingles down and well scat,
tered.
Error Helps Lose.
In the second contest each side scor-
ed once in the seventh and an error
enabled Dubuque to break the tie and
win out in the ninth. Wilson started

wreEched his shoulder and Lakaff

The Islanders arrived home at noon

afternoon. Manager Cook says the
only reason to be assigned for failure
to win games on the trip was inabil-
ity to hit at the right time. He is
well pleased with the work of Wise
