with the plan that has been adopted
generally throughout the Three-Eye
league of having two suits, one for the
road and the other for home use. Near
| ly ali Teams will have white suits at
home and dark ones on the road. This
will do away with confusion that in

it happened that both teams wore the
same color of uniforms.

Menace to Three-Eye.
The welfare of the Three-Eye and
the life of the Iowa league is menaced
in bill that passed the Iowa senate
yesterday by a large majority prohibit
ing Sunday entertainments of all kinds
where an admission is charged Orig
inally the bill was aimed at the Sunday
theater, but it hits baseball and even
chautauquas as we'll Ii provides a
fine of from So to $25 for the manager
and performers with Imprisonment till
paid. Hope of supporters of Sunday
baseball rests in the house, which it is
believed will kill the measure.
League Gossip.
Mike Jacobs, who officiated with the
Senators last season, seems to have
found the berth he likes, and has set
tied down for the summer. The At
lanta Journal contains the following:
Manager Billie Smith has closed
deal for Second Baseman Jacobs of
the Davenport team, in the Three-Eye
league, who will be tried at the key
stone sack in case Jordan is lost. ia
cobs is said to be very strong at the
bat and is fielder of repute.''
Though it was voted to be 'the
sense of the league" at Peoria that 10
cents should be the minimum price
charged for grand stand, Bloomington
and Dubuque announce that they will
make 10cent seats. They will, how
ever, have 25-cent seats for those who
can pay the price. At any rate the
league action will have the result of
providing 15-cent seats in towns that
have charged quarter straight.
Eddie Hughes, the ex-Davenport
pitcher, who is now a member of the
Boston Americans, has received or
ders to report in the latter city for
the coming season.
Though most of Belden Hills play
ers are new to the Three-Eye league
they are not untried material. LiZette
and Curtis were in the 500 league last
years. Cakes was in the Cotton States
league and Steverding played good
ball with independent Ohio teams.
