MUST PLAY SUNDAY BASEBALL
OR GET OUT OF THE LEAGUE
Board Of Directors Give Winchester Until March 20 To Reconsider Recent
Action Mastering Or Nch0|asv|Ie May DSpaCe This City,

LEXINGTON, KY, March 13.-
Unless the management of the Win
chester team decides before March
20, to reconsider their decision not
to play Sunday baseball their fran
chise will be taken from them by the
directors of the Blue Grass League
and offered to Mt. Sterling or Nicho-
lasvile.
This was the decision reached at a
meeting of the league directors which
was held in this city yesterday when
they directed President George /.
Hammond to confer with the fans
in these two towns to see if they
would be wiling to take up the Win
chester franchise and play out the
regular schedule should either of
them be awarded the team.
Given Until March 20.
The above action was a result of
the resolution recently adopted by the
Winchester management not to play
Sunday baseball. Before this the
schedule for the season had been
made out and ratified by every team
IN the league and adopted. 1t includ-
ed games on Sunday for the Win
chester club.
The league directors are of the
opinion that if Winchester does not
play Sunday baseball that the league
teams will lose hundreds of dollars.
The Clark county people were given
until March 20, when another meet
ing will be held in this city to change
their decision and if at this time, they
have not done so, their franchise will
be transferred.
Regular Schedule Will Stand.
Messrs. B. r. Jouett and j. O.
Stewart, who represent the Winches-
ter club, expressed willingness to
call another meeting of the stock
holders III their club. They will re-
port to President Hammond as soon
as possible. In any event the regular
schedule will stand.
Mr.. Frank Bell, assistant cashier
of the First National Bank, was
elected treasurer of the LEAGUE. Those
present at Yesterdays meeting were
M. c. Kellogg, of Richmond; B. r.
Jouett and j. Q. Stewart, of Win
chester;.J. W. Bacon and J. E. Bald

II. X. TAYLOR.
Here Three Years.

President Taylor has been at the
head of Kentucky Wesleyan for about
three years. During that time, he
has made for himself an enviable
place in this community. He has
come to be regarded as one of the
leading men of the city. And he has
extended the influence of Kentucky
Wesleyan all over the State.
1t IS felt by all that a grave mis-
take viii be made by the Board of
Education and an irreparable injury
done the college unless some means
may be found to get President Tay-
lor to withdraw the resignation.
Came From louisville.
y President Taylor came here about
three years ago from Louisville where
DE was the principal of the Louis
Nile Training School. He made a
considerable pecuniary sacrifice to
take up his present work. He has
worked here at a financial loss to
himself ever since he came.
,, The professor refused absolutely
TO be interviewed and stated to the
reporter for The News that all he
had to say at present, was con-
fined to his signed statement which
appears at tie head of this column.
Income Doubled
During his incumbency the college
income from the students has more
than doubled. Three years ago it
was $4,000 year; now it is over
$1,000.
The number of students in Clarl;
Hall-the dormitory, has more than
tripled-from Is to Is to over 60
Every room is now taken, some are
boarding outside, and applicants are
in file in the Office now for places.

the action on the resignation was
final one.
Following are some expressions of
opinion on the resignation from a few
of Clark county's leading citizens 4:

Prof. John l.. Bosley: The loss Of

the entire community.
