With the end of 4 successful sea-
son in sight, the directors of the
Rock Island ball club are already
talking plans for next year and these
include the erection of Il new grand
stand. On several occasions this
year, the seating capacity at the park
was taxed beyond its limit and the
club feels that it can afford to add
to the grand stand at the park in
order to assure seats for even larger
crowds than attended the games this
year.
The scheme which has found the
most favor with the officers of the
club entails the erection Of Il new
Grand stand or rather some change,
and an addition to the old one which
will mean practically new one The

Committee Picks FavOrites for

There was a warm session last night
o. the East Orange Democratic City
Executive Committee in the Newark
headquarters of the County Democratic
Committee, when Secretary William J.

tary of the county committee, engaged
in an argument as to the legality of the

Oscar Willegerod was the choice of the
committee. Edward HART and Charles
Stlilwell had been named, but both de-
clined.
When HART, chairman, called the
session to order Murray claimed there
was no quorum present, as only hve
members of the County Committee
were present. His point was disputed
by Cross, who claimed there We're
enough in attendance to meet, and the
chair supported his contention. Then
Murray wanted to know why East
Orange men were called to Newark to
transact their business. Cross said
Murray lad agreed to the proposition.
He also stated that Murray had given
the authority to him to send out postal
cards for the meeting.
Nominations for Assembly candidates
were finally called for and more trouble
followed when Murray and Cross
started their verbal fireworks, with
honors even. Murray had claimed
Cross brought the committeeman to
