Charged With Forming Combine to
Gust Sock City-Some
Absurd Talk.
ROCK ISLAND is BLAMED

The rumor that Rockford might be
dropped from the Three-Eye league
next season to make room for Peoria
which is seeking a berth, has caused
the Sock city dope singers to throw
batch of fits.
In their desperation to discredit the
report they endeavor to make it APP
pear that Rock Island has adopted
this means to avenge the defeat of NJ.
II. Sexton for the presidency, admit
ting in the same breath that Rock
ford really was after the scalp of the
Rock Island man.
1t is pointed out that Rockford
has q three-year tenure of franchise
just the same as the other cities COM
posing the circuit of the league. This
is So but it does not bind the direc-
tors of the league, if, for the better
ment of the league. they decide on
dropping Rockford or any other city
they see fit.
Let the dopeologists in the burg up
the line calm themselves. Rock Island
has nothing but the most, fraternal
feeling for Rockford. as was demon
strated at the meeting a year ago,
when the voice of the men from this
city saved their town from being
thrown out Of the league.

When ii comes to talking out in meet
ing, Rockford has poor backing for
its arguments Ever since the town
has held Il franchise in the Three
Eye league it has been living on The

date Rockford has failed to deliver
the merchandise.
Rock Island bears no i'll viii toward
Rockford for its part in retiring Mr..
Sexton from the presidency of the
league. 1t only shares the regret that
all the cities now share, including
Rockford. if the comment of one of
its newspapers is to be accepted as
conveying the sentiment there, that
the league should part with the ser
vices of such a valuable man.
Rock Island wants to see the Three
Eye league prosper. and it proposes
doing its part in that direction. Pc
oria is q larger city than any now
holding a franchise in the Three-Eye
league. The league is run on business
principles and not on sentiment. If
there is. a weak spot strengthen it.

Conference of the Woman's Home Mis-

and when she returned bill for board
followed fast. The parties explained
to Mrs. Range that they had agreed to
take care of one delegate but by a wide
Range of latitude the committee had
sent them two and called it one and
they would have to insist on payment
of the bill. Fortunately for Mrs.
Range it is not a misdemeanor in Vir-
ginia to beat board bill and the mat
ter may be adjusted satisfactorily.
