At the recent meeting of the North-western Association the Peoria delegates offered a resolution barring out colored players. As one of the clubs has a colored catcher, and a very good one, the matter raised such a howl of opposition that the resolution was withdrawn, so that this new feature in base-ball may be regarded as adopted.
