Cedar Rapids will be good and play
ball in the knowledge that,
There is a destiny that shapes our
ends,
Rough hew them how we will. y.
Dubuque, Too.
And Dubuque is satisfied, as witness
this from the Telegraph-Herald:
President Mathes of the baseball
association, who has arrived home
from Peoria, thinks Dubuque got a
square deal on the schedule adopted by
the Three-Eye league directors and
support NJ Sexton, who never before
had enjoyed a pleasant smile from the
Dubuque club.
1T was a great meeting, said Mr..
Mathes. AS soon as | landed in Peoria
was button-hOled by James Hayes
and Mike Sexton. We had a good talk
and they wanted me to line up with
them. When the meeting was called
the proposition to lay aside al SEIZED
ules offered to the directors WAS
brought up. | voted against it, because
/ believed it best to have something
TO work on. | didn't wish TO come
home without having schedule
adopted
'Meidroth of Peoria offered a sched-
ule that was debated for five hours
Every one knew it was Mike Sections
frame up. | saw it was favorable to
Dubuque and knew Sexton had given
Dubuque a square deal that he might
have the clubs support. Decatur
Bloomington and Springfield voted
against the schedule and it would have
been lost if Dubuque hadn't supported
it. President Holland announced he
would not decide a tie vote.
"'Sexton wishes to be on good terms
with Dubuque, as the schedule for 1906
proves
Fans are well pleased with the
schedule and believe it gives Dubuque
better dates than any other club"
Only One Coutd DO II.
This is the way President Kinsclla
If Springfield looks at it, according
to the News:
g Do like the new schedule? We'll,
have no objections TO offer. or kicks
o make. In fact. | am more pleased
With it every time | look il over. 1t is
good schedule, the best, in fact, the
Three-Eyc league ever had. The man
no drew it up evidently knew what
Ne was doing, and there is only one in
he league that could do IL The credit
Gust he given where it belongs
MIR. K;nsclla is confident that the
author of the schedule is Sexton, the
Rock Island magnatc, and is generous
u his praise OF both the man and his
wcrl.."
The Decatur View.
This from the Decatur Herald:
While the Decatur association is per
rcctly satisfied with the schedule as
adopted at the Peoria meeting last
Thursday. there was some little sacri-
ice on their part in voting in favor of
il. In the first schedule we had both
the opening and closing games at
home as wei as two OF the holiday
games In the schedule adopted we
have only the closing game at home
and but one of the holiday games. If
there are any who think Decatur is "a
ways looking for the best of every thing
this should be sufficient to change their
mind. The Decatur directory is for
peace and harmony in the league even
at the cost OF their own welfare
NicoI on bloomington Schedule.
Although temporarily out of profes.
sional baseball, ex-Manager Hugh Mic.
oil expressed an opinion on the Bloom
ington schedule which was being rail-
roaded on TO the league. He said:
THAT schedule is not only unfavorable
TO Peoria, but it is absolutely ruinous
to Davenport and Rock Island and
should they make it stick either Of
those cities or both would be justified
