CENTRAL SLOW
SAYS BYERS
Umpire Who Failed to Make Good
Thinks Association Is Slower
Than Three-Eye.

omended to President Justice by Presi'
dent Sexton OF the Three-I league and
who lasted about two games at Kewa-
nee. returned to his home in Rock Is.
lad with an awful wall about the Cen
trail association. He had to say some
thing to cover UP his failure. He
states that the Central association is
not as fast as the Three league
when he had only seen two games. II
Is foregone conclusion that If you
would shuttle up the teams in both
leagues you could detect little differ
ence In the class and it Is an even bet
that If series of games Is arranged
for the pennant winners In both
leagues, the lower class club will bat
tie them to death. Byers' tale as told
to the Davenport Times is as follows:
"The experience Of Umpire Clyde
Byers in the Central association was
short, the local man returning from
Kewanee today, where he umpired
several games In President Justices
organization. Byers went down to Ke'
vance in the expectation Of seeing
fast work, something at least which
compared in a way with the Three-I
article of ball to which he was ac-
customed. He was disappointed. The
players argued over trifles, played
slower ball and didn't understand the
meaning of obeying the umpire. He
turned In four fines and recommended
a suspension OF two, but found that
1.-The league did't stand behind its UNI
pires as did the Three-I, SO he notified
the president that he would be pleased
to be relieved of his place if he didn't
get more backing than he did.
"The answer is found in the return
of Byers. The president Of the Ke-
| vance association, who seemed to be
| a big factor In league affairs. said he
expected an older man than Byers. He
didn't consider speed in overing rlay
! or knowledge of the game but believ-
ed that an older man would have
more control over the players. At any
rate, Byers became disguised with the
way things we're run and threw up the
| job.
'sFrom what he saw during his short
stay, the Central association does not
belong anywhere with the ThreeI. 1t
might be we'll to add right here that
one will go long way in minor
league circles before he finds a faster
and better organizated league than
