President Schwabacker, of the Indianapolis Base-ball Club, on Monday received a telegram from President Young, of the National League, asking him to forward a formal application for membership in place of Cleveland at the meeting to be held in New York, which was done. Mr. Schwabacker also received a letter from President McKnight, of the American Association, in which the writer stated that he had forwarded to the League officials the votes of four Association clubs against so amending the existing agreement as to allow the Lucas Club to enter the League, and that there was a good chance for Indianapolis to get the vacant place. Mr. Schwabacker, however, personally prefers to joint the proposed Western League, having had his faith in the older associations badly shaken, but will enter the National League if possible, and then if the Western League shall be a success he can withdraw and become a member of it., quoting in unidentified exchange
