Not Taking Chances.

President Schmidt was so inform ed.
He was told Rock Island was done
with taking chances. Evidently Mr..
Schmidt and his associates did not
see much enthusiasm in this state
ment, and are content to 60 ahead
without us. Success to them.
Rock Island has another offer of a
few months standing to Join L. j.
Hickey's proposed new Western
league, but there does not seem to be
much stirring in that organization of
late. Rock Island would like to get
in the game the coming season, but
as said above, this city will do bust
ness with only good substantial towns.

NOT IN THE LEAGUE.
Rock Island Does Not Think
Well of Latest Baseball
Proposition.
CHANGE IN THE NAME.

Indiana Illinois is Now the Central-Or-
Club Observation-Disclosures, Terre Haute.
Decatur, jacksonville, Mattoon and Dan
Vile the Towns.
Promoters of the Indiana-niinois
Baseball league, at their meeting at De
catur Yesterday, changed the name to
the Central league and organized for
next season with six clubs, the fran
chises TO be carried by the following
towns: Bloomington, 1erre Haute. De-
catur, Jacksonville, Nation and Dam
vile. Decatur was substituted for Pee-
ria and Quincy--a town that has always
been a dead one so far as the national
game is concerned-was relegated to
the back row. As stated in THE
ARGUS of Yesterday. Rock Island had
pressing invitation to become a
member OF the organization, Presi-
dent Schmidt representing that this
city was preferred to other applicants
because of its reputation as a patron
OF the game and its advantageous
geographical position, giving the
further assurance that the league
would be conducted on such economi-
cal lines that there was no possibility
of failure.
As will be seen by the make up of
the new league, the officers of the
local ASSOCIATION did not fall over
themselves in accepting MIR. Schmidt's
very thoughtful and tempting prop
osition. They have had that same
sweet little sure-thing story sung in
to their listeners before, and have
been won by it, and to their sorrow.
Hence they are not in hurry to be-
come parties to new enterprises.
They want TO he shown first before
they identify their city with another
baseball venture.

difference, and some opposition, but the

Although this Is a comparatively new
field. being less than two years since
II was first opened up. there has been
thirty-seven baptsms. twenty OF which
Were performed last year
Quite a number OF people seem 20 be
deeply Interested In our doctrine. The
people OF western Colorado. as a gen.
eral rule, are very h0epitable.
The Elders have met with very good
treatment so far none OF them having
suffered for the necessaries OF HE.
