Plan to Organize Sunday Base Ball

among the Catholic Young Mems
Clubs In this part of the state and
keokuk has been asked to enter one.
two OF three teams.
The proposed league is to have one
representative team from Burlington,
FIT. Madison, Keokuk, Fairfield, West
Point and several other towns, and
the games are to be played on Sun.
days Of each week.
Catholic clergy of this city have
already voiced their sentiments
against this new Sunday league and it
is thought that Keokuk will not have
a representative club.
Circular letters have been received
by members of the three Catholic
churches of the city but only ST.
Mary's club has considered the prop
osition at a regular meeting. While no
decision was reached few approved of
the plan and it will be given little
support in this city.
1t is understood that all of the Cath
Ollie clergy of the city have disapprov-
ed of the plan and when the young
mems clubs of each church take up
the letter the plan will probably be
voted down.
The letter was considered at a re-
cent melting of ST. Mary's club and
will be read at the next regular meet
ing of st. Pe.se's club. AS ST. Fran
els de Sales church has no organized
young mems club it is not known
what action will be taken.
While it is learned that Burlington
has some support in the present plan
Keokuk will not be among the mem
bers of the league, unless there is a
decided change in the present senti-
ment of club members.
