|Text=<p>It was thought that another club would be taken in to make up a circuit, and a number of applications for membership were received.  But, to the general surprise, they were all rejected, and but one club, from Winona, Minn., was admitted, and Saginaw and Evansville were dropped.  This was done with a view to making a short circuit, as with the circuit extending to Michigan and Indiana it was impossible to go on.  It was resolved to entirely recast lines and begin a new series of games for the championship, and a committee is at work preparing a schedule calling for twenty-four games each between the four clubs constituting the new Northwestern League.</p>
