EIGHTH SEASON OF THE
THREE | LEAGUE OPENED
1ard to Determine Relative Strength
Of Teams at Present-Letter u
Club Owners.

The eighth annual season OF the
ThreeI league opened few days ago
with ceremonies at Bloomington, De-
catur. Cedar Rapids and Dubuque. At
the latter city Charles A. Comiskey
and White Sox rooters from Chicago
were the feature of the opening. Com
iskey pitched the first ball and Presi-
dent Lotus was behind the bat to re-
ceive II. There was the usual parade,
headed by the White Sox rooters and
their band, followed by the ball teams
and city and county officials.
It is difficult at present to determine
the relative playing strength of the
various teams. but the consensus of
around the circuit Is that Decatur.
Springfield and Peoria will be the
strongest contenders for the pennant
as was the case last year.
Nearly all the teams have lost
strong players by draft or sale. but
just how the loss of these men Will
affect the playing strength cannot be
positively told until the season is
well advanced.
Bloomington appears to be much
stronger than last year. and this is
also true OF Dubuque. Cedar Rapids
Rock Island and Clinton are uncertain
due to extensive changes.
Clinton has new manager. Charles
Beulow, and 1t is believed by the
patrons there that he will be able to
get results this year better than those
of last season.
Rock Island has lost Hines, O'Leary
vandine and Wanner, four of the best
men In the league. The management
there believes. however. that the team
will make creditable showing.
President LOTUS has issued the fol.
lowing letter to the presidents Of the
various clubs Of the league:
Il want the presidents OF all clubs
to assist me in giving the public good
clean baseball. II you do the success
of the league Is assured, as the Amer
lean people are clamoring for good and
clean amusements, so start your or.
ganization on good foundation. in.

and captains to give the umpire a

decision to consider 1t final. as he is
the sole Judge Of the play, and when
he makes decision no argument can

men In business adhere to clean meth
DDS. Why not in the great national
game?
IF the umpire gives decision
against your club do not imagine he
wants to rob you: he gives the de
clsion as he sees 1t. Do not wake me
up at midnight with telegram stating
that the umpire is rotten. He will
keep until morning. Write me a let
ter the next day, after the heat OF the
battle, and let me know If you think
he is incompetent. The mail is fast
enough for me to hear had news.

WILL NOT RAISE RENT
Andrew Ringnnan An
nouces There Will be No
Increase This Year.

East Side residents are resting easier
today as the result of an announce
ment by Andrew Ringman, one of the
prominent real estate dealers, that he
would not raise the rents on his diff
ferent houses during the year of 1908.
In every section of the city, es-
pecially the down town districts, the
real estate men are raising the price of
rents, but such will not be the case
on the East Side,'' said Mr.. Ringman
yesterday
The residents throughout the East
Side district have been uneasy as the
result of the raise in rents and the
announcement yesterday will greatly
lessen the trouble Of the tenants.
During the past two months Mr..
Ringman has sold fifteen houses and
as many lots from his various subdi-
visions and says there is more busl-
ness coming. Mr.. Ringman is very
enthusiastic over the East Sides pros
poets as becoming one Of the central
business and residence districts, and
says that the East Side will soon be
known as the residence district of
South Chicago.

ROULETTE PLAYED WITH SPOOL.
Newsboys' Game Which Has Small
Chances for the PIungers.

Perhaps it isn't an entirely new
game, but it was the first time that
the wayfarer had seen it, says the
New York Sun
A group of newsboys were gathered
about another boy who had an i'm
provised top made of a spool pierced
by a sharpened skewer. The spool
was so cut that it presented four
square sides, each marked with let
ter. The letters were P. T. N. and A.
The boy with the top spun it, while
the others made wagers, mostly in
cents. When the top came to rest it
naturally fell on one of the square
sides.
What does it mean?" asked the
wayfarer.
Well" said one of the boys, "ac-
cording to the way the top falls you
can make or lose the money you put
up. If 1t drops on P then you put in
a sum equal to what you bet for the
fellow who runs the wheel. If it falls
on T then you can take back the
stake you put up.
'If it comes on n that means none.
You lose Just what you put up. II
It comes to A then the banker has to
pay all the men who are playing"

business for the banker while the on
