IN his attitude toward Rock Island

tested aga.ns; Cusack officiating in the
s6ries there ana - he was transferred
0 Peoria. In his pace wa sent Milan
Hayes makes the same complain,
against Cusack thai Rock Island
makes agains; Milan-that he is un
ali. although Rock Island bases its
protest on the repeated experiences of
-wo seasons.
Neither VIII OGieiate.
In view of the fact that there are
,wO umpires in the league agains;
whom there is no feeling by the fans
N either town. and in view also of the
fact that il seemed unreasonable "a in

In an interview with President
Hayes. an Argus representative asked
I, ; I,n 4
umpire than Milan. Il do not wish to
go on record in the matter" he an
5wered. THE question of umpires is
up TO Mr.. Holland"
But you have protested Cusack
and you are aware that Rock Island
feels much worse toward Milan than
you do toward Cusack. Under these
circumstances would either Krieg or
Flaherty be satisfactory to you?" he
was asked.
Anybody Holland sends here except
Cusack will be satisfactory to us" said
Mr. Hayes. I'VE have protested only
one man in two years and we had
reason to-
President sexton.
MILAN might give us a fair show in
the Davenport series, but | would Fee
much better if either Flaherty or Krieg
We're there II Davenport is so bitter
against Cusack | know of no reason
why they should be forced to stand
for him, but we ought to be considered
equally in the matter as to Milan" The
above was what President Sexton had
to say when the matter of a compro-
mise was put to him.
Holland Notified.
The following message was sent to
President Holland:
ITO Edward Holland. Bloomington. Ill.
Rock Island, H., Sept 13.-Rock
Island baseball lovers feel they will
not get fair play with Milan in Daven-
port. Can Krieg of Flaherty be sent?
Hayes says. anybody Holland sends
except Cusack satisfactory to Daven-
port. Sexton says Krieg or Flaherty
satisfactory TO Rock Island
ARGUS"
President Sexton supplemented The
Argus dispatch with one to President
Holland asking if he proposed TO keep
Milan in Davenport in view of the ex-
listing feeling here.
HOLLANDS Answer.
This afternoon President Sexton re-
ceived the following message:
''Flaherty assigned to Davenport. No
tify Argus.
ED HOLLAND"
The relation the Davenport series
will have TO the winning or losing of
the pennant depends, of course, upon
the result of the games in Dubuque,
but. it will be some satisfaction to
the fans to know that if the Islanders
lose in Davenport. il will not be at the
hands Of Milan Who turnoh hic
