THE LEAGUE SITUATION. A Meetinjp Kxpected to Be Held Mttine This Evening. fa The Affairs of the I.-I. Rue Ball Orfrnt satioo to Be Determined The Rockford Clob-McCuU'i Lateat. A meeting of the directors of the I.-I leagne in called in Molioe today to deter mine the ' future of the organization President Kent of Jacksonville and Di rectors Uulse of Rockford and Steele of Joliet are expected at 3 o'clock this after noon. Nothing will be done before this evening, the visitor! putting in the tims meanwhile sight seing. Aa was txoec'ed Secretary McC&ulI is trying his best to help Joliet to the $500 forfeit money, that is due to remain in . the league treasury if it continues, or to be distributed among the other clubs which have been faithful if they contin ue, and do third club is continued. He Caull was ' in Chicago yesterday and talked to a Herald reporter. Of the July meeting McC&ull said: "After Terre Haute bad besc dropped Joliet consented to plav one month longer, when it was agreed that the league was to dissolve We were willing to lose the money we had secured from the eale of our players Only six games have been claved at home since July 1(J. and our club was away 83 long that the people lost interest in it. The month passed, and the ctber cluos begged so hard that we plaved another week longer, but Mon day we dropped oat for good, and the players are now scattered. Rockford and Rock Island are up in their dues, and want to finish the season. Joliet and Jacksonville are behind. As soon as they settle up I will return them their checks. Rck Tsiand is trying to pull down Joli et s forfeit of 5500. but the league is busted, and we fell out as per agreement. I don't see how the league can finish the season. Joliet has had all it wants of base ball." Desperate dog in the manger tactics those of McCauIl and Joliet to kill the league to save themselves. No matter what is done today it is hoped the league will secure a new secretary. HcCaull's bungling it what his caused all the trou ble in the I.'-t league. Rockford. like Rock Island Moline, is for sticking the season out under all cir cumstances. The Star says: It is clearly understood that the clubs which see the season through will divide the guarantee money. The Joliet club cannot well forfiet their $500, as the management is depending on finishing the season with a series of championship games. Neither the Rockford or Rock Island-Moline club will quit now, as both are agreed upon finishing the ached ule. If the present arrangement of games does not suit Joliet, another can be made, which the Rockford manage ment is willing to do. It is hinted that neither Joliet or Jacksonville paid their last league dues, and there may be such a thing aa the Rock fords and the Rock Island-Molines finishing the season to gether and profiting greatly thereby. Tomorrow occurs the benefit game at Twin-City park between nines selected from among the players, the field being filled out by amateurs of the two cities. Bartson and Sage will be in the points for the Roch Island contingent, and Cun ningham and Sage for Moline. A lively game is promised, and all should go out and witness the contest and encour age the local management in its efforts to continue to maintain the club. Tine Rascal That Lonsdale. Henry Lonsdale, steward at the Har per, who was in a justices' court yester day on a charge of having borrowed $69 from one of the girls, and failed to re turn it, skipped today with $15.20 be longing ' to " another of the girls of the house. The girl had just been paid off, and Lonsdale meeting her in the dining room, told her she had not received enough pay, and taking it from her said he would take it to the office and have it made right. That was the last seen of him. He shipped his bag gage to Chicago yesterday under a fic ticious name. The police have been no tified, and hope to run him down. riTY CHAT.
