Exploration OF Fjectment at B oom =
tn9ton Saturday 10 TO be
Demanded.

The ejectment of Manager Thorn
ton from the bloomington park Satur-
day afternoon had the earmarks of a
conspiracy cooked up between the
Bloomington management aud I'm
Pire Milan for the purpose of cinching
the game.
Thornton was removed in the first
inning after he had retired to the
bench. having struck out. There had
been no difference between him and
the umpire further than his question
ing a strike, the second one to be call
ed on him.
When he walked over and took his
seat on the bench with the other play
ers of his team Thornton was amazed
to see Milan beckon to two officers
and direct them to remove him from
the grounds
Milan seemed to have had the Off
GERS posted where he could call them
without a hunt. They took hold of
Thornton as though he were a Grim
inal and dragged him out of the park
despite his protests that he had COM
mitted no wrong and willingly would
accompany them. They acted as
though they wanted TO give him Il
beating, and they came near doing il.
1t was evident that the removal of
kohley Miller also was desired. for
that player was warned that he would
follow Thornton if he opened his head.
1t is likely an explanation will be
demanded by Rock Island of this per-
Torrance of Milan, who possibly was
trying to make himself good in the
home town of the president of the
league by so gripping the Rock Island
team that Bloomington would he sure
to win. The Bloomers were desperate
having dropped the two preceding
games to Rock Island. and it was up
to them to secure a victory, no mat
ter the cost.

CITY COUNCIL MAY REVIVE
THE NEW PAVILION PROJECT

The projected new pavilion in Spen-
Ger square to supplant the present
structure which has outgrown it's
usefulness. is. it is understood. likely
to be revived at tonight's meeting of
the city council. but what disposition
will be made of the matter remains to
be seen.
The Argus agrees with former Com
missioner Jackson that there has
been too much money expended in
Spencer square. which is one Of the
handsomest parks in the state. and
too much of costly OrnamentatiOn
has been placed there through the
public spirit and generosity of citi-
zens to permit of the cheapening effect
of an inferior band stand.
Better let the present structure
stand until it crumbleS than to make
a botch of the undertaking. This
view of the matter does not imply
that there need be extravaganza in
what is to be done, nor need the city
be bound to any one set of plans.
Indeed it seems to The Argus that if
bids were invited from all the archi-
tects of the city for n stand, the cost
VI which is not to exceed n certain
amount, the council might very readi-
" discover how much of building
and how far one in keeping with the
other beauties of the park could be
provided with the funds that the city
may feel inclined to eXpend for the
purpose. 1t is not only the amount
of money. but what is to be had for
it that should be taken into consider.
