Wisconsin-Illinois league transfers games to Milwaukee
President Charles F Moll of the Wisconsin-Illinois league has moved three more scheduled games to Milwaukee. Oshkosh and Madison will start a two day series at Athletic park July 11 with a single game and a double header the next day. Bobby Lynch replaces Frank Newhouse as Fond du Lac manager and is praised for his knowledge of the game. McDonald, Fond du Lac third baseman from Indianapolis, is named a promising addition to an improved infield. The transfers, done amid protests from league cities, are viewed as remarkable and potentially contentious by local fans.
