LINCOLN MAY GIFT THE cAy.

Chicago. Nov 27--A statement
from President E. W. Dickerson Of the
Western league is to the effect that
while he has never said he favored
ousting Lincoln from the Western cir
cult, II is fact that Lincoln has laid
itself liable to forfeiture of its fran
cliise rights because OF its failure to
pay its league obligations. Dickerson
evidently thinks Lincoln has poor
excuse for failure to pay. as it sold one
player and another was drafted. while
the books show daily average attend
