ON ITS HIGH HORSE
Peoria Paper Considers Three
Eye League Company
Too Slow.
WANTS TO STICK IN WESTERN
Arthur r. Thumler, the New Secre-
tary TO President Ed.
Holland.

In commenting on the possibility of
Peoria breaking into the Three-Eye
league the Peoria Herald says:
Peoria has developed in TO rafting
good baseball town this season, and
would doubtless be a rich plum to fail
into the hands of some manager of Il
Three-Eye aggregation; but until the
annual meeting of the Western league
magnates, this city is Western league
territory. Just how these Three-Eye
leaguers have arrived at the conclu-
sion that this city will jump at "A
chance to see $500 a month team
play ball fer the same price they paid
to see a $4,000 team play is hard to
determine. y cheap team in n small
league has not been successful in this
city for many years and the ball en-
thusiasm would quickly fade under
the Three-Eye or Central league arti-
Gle of ball
Let some sportsman with little
money to invest take hold of the
Western league franchise as it now
stands, pay off the balance due the
players, which the present manage
ment is still Withholding, keep the
bunch together for next year, and he
will not only jump into prominence
as a baseball manager, but will make
some money besides"
One would think from reading the
Peoria papers articles that Peoria
had been used to seeing a team made
up of Delehanty's, Lajoie's, Wad-
delrs, Mathewscu's and players of
that class. Peoria would probably see
some better ball in the Three-Eye
than it would in the Western.

Few plays of recent years can boast
of as many strong situations. novel eff
fects and natural surroundings as
The Punkin Husker." The first of
setting. is enc of the oldest scenes
imaginable. The new barn with its
corn cribs. fences and other appur-
tenances form a setting to the typi-
cal rustics that throng it. the dance
and games that these people indulge
in, are equally in keeping with the
surroundings. The country road with
its grass grown sides, tumble down
fences, rambling low rooted houses,
and an inevitable roadside pump and
trough is another quaint scene. The
farmhouse sitting room is just as odd
and unique, with its old fashioned
stair eases and windows. The play
itself is just as odd and original. and
just as strong and original as the
settings. 1t comes here Sunday.
