HOW TO MAKE IT PLEASE
dispatch from Quincy says


The matter of schedule for next
year is now the paramount matter of
interest throughout the Central asso-
citation circuit and every club owner
will keep busy from now until the
January meeting in Kewanee in de.
visiting suggestions for the schedule
by which his team will get its fair
share of the good things to be handed
out. The opening days and the holi-.
days and Sundays are always matter
of more contention and bitter feeling
than any other matter In the usual
course of leagues business. Nan.
ager Hofer of the Quincy club has
plan. BRIEFLY mentioned at Keokuk,
and apparently meeting the favor of
the directors. whereby the opening
will cause no discomfort and every
club will have fair and equal treat
ment. His is in the nature of a
double opening, putting the two cities
closest together or if preferred the
cities that are the greatest natural
rivals, against each other in the open
ing series for three games in one and
then jumping back for an opening SER
les of three games in the other city.
For instance, Quincy and Hannibal
would be ideal opponents in an open
ing series and this city would doubt
less concede the first opening on May
4, 5 and 6, to the newcomer in the
league. coming back to Quincy for its
opening May Z, and 8. This would
be followed out in the case of the
other cities also. Jacksonville and
kewanee could exchange openings to
the advantage of both. Ottumwa and
Waterloo are near each other for a
similar double opening series and
Burlington and keokuk would have
but small item of mileage in fol-
] lowing out the same plan Or. If
thought more profitable. Burlington
and Waterloo might exchange open.
| ings, being natural rivals and always
having been bitter opponents in every
championship race. The chief value
of the double opening plan would be
TO have openings in all cities while
the season is still very young and be-
fore any team may be distanced even
by five or six games, as might be the
case in the six-game series. as has
been the custom heretofore.
Another matter which Hofer will
recommend will be that the schedule
will be SO arranged as to prevent Sun
day conflicts with Hannibal Hanni-
balls chief claim to consideration is
the fact that being so close to Quincy
and her natural rival. the result would
be greatly increased attendance for
both cities. and with Sunday games
alternating in the two cities the ex-
cursion business would make record
breaking attendance in both cities.
I Mr.. Hofer will aslo suggest that an eff
fort be made to separate the holiday
games and nearest Sunday so as not
TO have these two games SO near to-
gether.
