at an impromptu session of several of
the directors of the Bloomington Base
ball association Wednesday afternoon
in President William H. Hunters Of
flee on East street 1t was decided to
enclose the new section OF the grand
stand In order to protect the hand
some new chairs purchased the past
summer, and a force of carpenters
will be put to work at once to enclose
stand. In the spring, when the boards
are removed, they can be used in re-
pairing the fence. although this will
not cost a large amount of money
next year, the local association having
sent several hundred dollars in erect
ing a new fence on the east side of
the ball park, and also in repairing
the other sections of the old fence
President Hunters motto during
the coming season will be; More
young players" Both Jackson and
Lucas showed much promise last year
and if a half dozen young fellows of
the same type as these fellows can
be gobbled up this winter. Prexy
Hunter figures that the Boomers
ought to finish one-two-three next
summer. Both Jackson and Lucas
will be back next year and both ought
to rank with the leading stickers in
the league with another seasons ex-
perience. Lucas can pickle the old
apple and if suitable job on the in
field can be found for him. it is pretty
nearly a cinch he is going to prove
one of the best bets in the league
next season. Lucas is now making ar.
rangements to take the state bar ex-
animation in February. in order that
he may join the club from the kickoff.
