WHICH WILL IT B E?
eaIesburs Has More Than an Even
Chance to Beat Hannibal in
the Race For a Place
In League.

As the time draws near when the
clubs are to vote upon the eighth
member of the Central Association,
some interesting facts are disclosed.
careful glance about the circuit will
show that there Is positively no GER
tainty as to which of the several pro-
nosed clubs will fill the vacancy left
| by Oskaloosa.
| It seems to be the concensus of opin-
| ion that Hannibal would be the more
logical town in contest between Han
| nbal and Galesburg, but on the other
| hand 1t can be seen that Galesburg
might easily obtain four of the seven
,otes when the election comes.
Waterloo would probably vote for
Gaesburg In the fact that that town
Is sixty miles nearer than Hannibal
/ II is also a fact that the Illinois
towns of Jacksonville and Kewanee
would cast vote in favor Of Gales
burg, in order that they might have a
town of their own state, and in a very
convenient locality, member Of the
league There Is no question about
the vote of Keokuk, Quincy, and Of
tumwa, for they would doubtlessly
favor Hannibal. This would leave 1t
up to Burlington. 1t will be remem-
tered that Grogan. a Burlington play
er went to Galesburg last year and is
still quite a friend OF Egan's. Should
Grogan obtain the management of the
Galesburg team Egan might assist
him by voting for the admission of
that town This vote might easily be
Influenced otherwise by some unlock
ed for reason. but according to the
present situation the vote is quite un-
certain.
Thus far the committee has not re-
ported to President Justice and the
matter cannot be voted on at this
tine The committee is composed of
Harry Hofer, Ned Egan, and e. F..

About Clinton.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Clinton,
lately of the Three-I league, wants to
come back to the Central association
It has made bid for Oskaloosa's
franchise. To this end it has tele-
graphed to the committee named by
the Central association to pick out a
city to take Oskaloosa's place to
defer action in the matter and to wait
for its proposition concerning fran
chise in the association.
Just what Clinton has to offer that
will be better than Hannibal or Gales
burg can give this league, Is not
known. Clinton was in the league
two years ago and did not make good.
In fact it was a frost of the thirty
third degree. It's excuse for not turn
ing out to the games In paving num-
bers, was that 1t wanted to get into a
larger league, that 1t did not care
about small league base ball.
Clinton got into the Three-I1 league,
and has failed to make good there,
and now 1t is coming back to the
Central association wanting to get in.
It may be able to convince the Central
committee that 1t Is all right now, but
| it comes with handicap.

TO SUE GOVERNMENT
w. M. Rayner Tells More
About Audit System.
Lands ASKS QUESTIONS
In This Way Plan Of System Is Un-
earthed.
IMPORTANT LETTER FOUND
New York End Was "Pooh-Poohing"
Efforts to Get Supply
Orders Here.

Refusing to answer some questions Dy
advice Of counsel and unable to reply to
others W. NJ. Rayner. originator, general
manager and principal beneficiary of the
so-called Audit System which was sum-
marily thrown out of the government
printing Office some time ago after reliev-
ing the United States Treasury of a hefty
bunch of coin. spent several hours yester-
day before the House committee on print
ing. of which Representative Lands Of In
diana is chairman The principal fact de-
veloped during the cross-examination of
MIR. Rayner was that the Audit System
intends TO sue the government for all the
real money it didn't get. but. II the
opinion of Mr.. Rayner should have had.
This suit plan was exposed when Chair
man Lands asked Mr.. Rayner some ques-
tons intended to develop the fact that
although the Audit Systems contract with
the government called for expert serv-
ices" the government didn't get anything
which resembled experiences" When this
question was handed to Mr. Rayner. r.
Golden Donaldson. his counsel who sup
ported him on the left. rose and remarked
that an answer to this question might be
OF value to the government in its defense
OF the suit that would be brought by the
Audit System. So Mr.. Rayner declined to
throw any light on the subject
Increase of Force.
With the intention Of discovering wheth-
er the contract was bona fide and rea-
sonable Chairman Lands asked Mr.. Ray
re- TO state how and to what extent he
had increased his force in the government
printing Office for the execution of his
part Of the contract, and to submit to the
