Peoria Players Talk of Joining
Caliahan's League at
Chicago
WITH THREE COUNTRY TEAMS
Rules of Organized Baseball Sit Heav-
lily on Such as Thiery and
Hughes.

Finding the rules of organized base
ball irksome, Peoria is now advocating
an outlaw league in Illinois, the idea
being to extend the City league at
Chicago to include several country
teams, those towns named as favorab-
ly considered being Peoria. Joliet, and
Aurora. Chicago and Peoria capital is
said to be behind it and the dope was
Matched during the recent visit of
Jimmy Callahan and his Logan
Squares to Peoria. The inference is
that the Peoria Three-Eye league fran
chise would be allowed TO lapse in the
event that the new deal goes through.
The Peoria Herald-Transcript has this
to say on the subject:
Felt Iron Hand.
This organization has been con-
ceived by baseball players who have
felt the iron nand of the baseball trust.
Not little of it was brought about by
the recent squabble in which the pin
headed magnates of the ThreeEye
league took it upon themselves to put
George Hughes of the DiStillers out of
the game for several weeks simply be,
cause he called one of the umpres a
bad name and incensed his honor, Bel
den Hill of Cedar Rapids. But behind
it all there is a deep-roOted feeling
among the players all over the country
that the iron hand is being used too
freely by the magnates. The players
claim that they are veritable slaves
and have no recourse except to start
outlaw leagues or something in the ma
ture of a brotherhood. such as precipi
tated the great baseball war of few
years ago.
But it is a foregone conclusion that
Peoria will have an independent base
ball team next year Already a deal
| is on for a city ground in the south
end. much more accessible than the
park at Lakeview There is ample
capital behind the scheme and it is
said that the members of the Peoria
| team, almost without exception, are
i willing to take a dare at the game.
