Hayes mt the Head.
The terms on which Clinton turned
over the franchise could not be ascer-
tanned this afternoon. 1t is under
stood that club headed by James 7.
Hayes will be formed in Davenport,
and that assurance has been given
that the team will be ably backed.
Davenport has for some time had
| its eyes on the Three-Eye league, and
has been anxiously waiting for an op'
portunity to pick up a franchise. Ii
, was due to the fact that negotiations
were in progress with Clinton that NO
definite action on the Central propo-
sition was taken at the meeting in
Davenport this week. The Davenport
chance. and wanted Three-Eye base
bail in preference to any other.
Crafts Talks.
P. p Crafts was interviewed by an
Argus representative regarding the
transfer of the franchise. There is
no particular reason for our getting
out of the league at Clinton" he said
except that the team has been an ex
pensive thing and Clinton does not
care for baseball at the cost that has
been experienced" He stated that the
proposition had come up within {
the franchise, and Clinton does not, il
was decided to turn the team over tc
Davenport.
1 Cedar Rapids to Sell:

Cedar Rapids directors have decided
10 sell the team. The Cedar Rapid!

that "the death knell of baseball il
Cedar Rapids was sounded last even

son,e new club of directors may b.
organized to take over the team, blu
it IS not likely" The reason is as
signed as lack of support. The clul
has found the game a losing ventur'
financially.

Mr.. LineoIn's erevity.

A historian recalls the fact that in
Mr.. Lincoln's speech to the notification
committee at Springfield there were
139 words and in his formal letter OF
acceptance there were 134 words. In
his speech Of acceptance to the com
mittee in washington in 1854 there are
1876 words, and in his letter of accept
ance there are 200 words. But let US
remember that there were no typewrit-
ers in those days. and such thing as
q photograph had not been dreamed OF.
