HERE TOMORROW
Adjourned Meeting of Directors OF
the Three-I
League.

Tomorrow afternoon at ? o'clock the
| adjourned annual meeting of the di
rectors of the Three-I league will be
gin at the Harper house in this city
1t is expected that there will be from
20 to % delegates present. 1t is not
positively known here that f. L. Ster-
ling, the Rockford candidate, has
been taken out of the race for the
presidency of the league by his APP
pointment TO a confidential position
by Gov. Yates. and if he is still in the
running Rockford will probably be
down with a strong delegation. The
new towns, Joliet and Dubuque. are
also expected to be represented.
The first business will be hearing a
report from President Sexton upon
the granting of franchises to Joliet
and Dubuque in accordance with the
power vested in him at the meeting
in st. Louis last month. 1t is not an
ticipated that any objection will be
raised to his action. The next impOr-
tant matter will be the choice of a
league president for the wear. and
Ralph Haverstick, of this city, is con-
sidered reasonably certain of cleo
ton. Mr.. Sexton, who has so ably
conducted the leagues affairs for the
past two years, insists that he will
absolutely refuse to be considered Il
candidate for reelection.

A FIfty-foot Calendar.

y. w. Aver & Son, the Philadelphia
advertising agents, who have ma
tional reputation for keeping ever
lastingly at it," believe in sticking to
good thing when they have one.
For instance, their calendars for 1908
follows the design used for several
years past. but with new coloring.
And in truth it would be hard to i'm
prove upon their design; the dates
are plainly readable at so feet, yet
the calendar is not unpleasantly con-
spicuous; it is artistic, simple and
useful and it is not surprising that it
has become so popular an adjunct to
business offices that the supply never
equals the demand.
While they last, one will be mailed
to any address for 25 cents, which
barely covers cost and postage.

Getting Ready for
Business.

The Rock Island public night school
began a 10 weeks term at the high
school last evening with an enroll
ment of los pupils and an immense
amount of interest and enthusiasm
in the work on the part of both teach
ers and pupils. Little was done last
evening beyond organizing the classes.
a meeting was first held in the as
sembly room. where addresses were
made by Supt. II. b. Hayden and Prin-
cipal j. F. Darby outlining the course
that is to be followed. The enrolling
of the classes brought out which
lines of work are going to prove the
most popular, at least in the begin
ming.
The mechanical drawing and man
ual training classes conducted by c.
w. Kent are filled and it has already
been necessary to establish waiting
lists. Typewriting and bookkeeping
are attracting much interest and the
class enrolled numbers %. English
composition offers allurements to a
large number also. A number of
school teachers and enough outsiders
to make a fair sized class has been or
ganized to study basketry under Miss

OTHER
GOSSIP

There Is a great contest on in base.
ball circles relative to the 'foul-strike"
rule, and it will be generally hoped BY
fans that the rule will be retained.
Formerly batter could knock as many
fouls as he desired. so long az he was
not caught out. but this wore out the
pitchers and disguised the spectators.
who do not care to see batting stunts
of this order. Good batters can usu-
ally knock fouls when they desire, and
it became so serious that year or
two ago it was decided that the first
two fouls knocked should be strikes.
At present the players seem to be .
unit in demanding that the rule be
abolished. % 1t interferes with their
batting, a. for instance when Q man

allowed TO remain, however, - the
spectators are the main ones TO please.
and they do not want to witness .
game in which fouls may be knocked
all the afternoon by an expert man
with the willow who wants to tire out
the pitcher.
One Of the rules favored last season
was one calling fouls in certain terri
tory fouls and making others foul
strikes. This would throw more work
on the umpires, hardly . desirable
thing. a. the officials have about all
they care to handle now. Leaving out
consideration Of the umpire. the rule
would be- fair one and one that would
favor the batter who 10 trying to hit
fair. This is certainly not the case
under the present rule. A batter could
hardly be accused Of trying to foul
Intentionally when he put the ball
over the right field fence.
A rule which gives premise OF &C
the desired resuls without
adding to the duties Of the umpire is
one limiting the pitcher to three balls
of four. This may look radi-
cal, but it is no more so than the re-
duction of the number Of balls from
seven to four, and it would handicap
the pitcher ina way that would help
out the batters. The rule would force
/ he pitchers to put the ball ove- the
plate and take hess chances than uoder
the present rule. That is about all
the average batter wants. II he can
get q square chance at the horse hide
he can take care of himself The
stringent rule requiring the pitcher 20
have both feet in front Of the plate
might in turn bs modified. The rule
is of more harm to the pitchers than
,t Is of advantage to the bAtters. 1t
forces the pitch " to pitch in posi-
ton which is bound to prove . strain
on him. The main advantage for the
pitcher in change would be in speed
and his ability to keep tab on basesun-
ners A stricter. enforcement OF the
balk rule would save the baserunner
and the average batter can take care
Of the extra speed II the ball must
come over the plate.
