With the league apparently drawing its last, breath from the effects of the wounds admits istered by Runyan and Hall.

Richmond, the poorest town in Indiana, has been retained, and yet it is a matter of record that with the exception of the Sunday games the attendance at the Quaker town was so slim that the management had to dig into its pocket for guarantee money every gr.me last summer.
