Yet in America today there are
hundreds Of thousands of women

Any any woman reader of the this
paper can have attractive and lus-
trous hair in a few days time by

| President Johnson of the Peoria club
advocated the lifting of the salary

was outside of the limit of s1,750 this
year and that it was impossible to get
inside. Manager Boyle of Waterloo
added some comment on this head
tie said that last season Waterloo had
the most expensive team in its history

argued that high prices paid players
have little to do with the quality cf

AT THREE-EYE MEETING
Magnates Adopt $50 Game Guaranty
to Visiting CIubs-NlajOrity in
Favor of Sexton.

Rock Islands representatives to the
the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, yes
terday, returned home last night. The
afternoon business sessions wound up
about & O'Clock. The only matters
taken up formally were the hearing of
the pleas for franchises from repre-
sentativcs from Danville, Waterloo
and Jacksonville. and the fixing OF Il
guaranty OF $35 per game for visiting
clubs
) The latter was called up for a sec
ohd time in the afternoon and pro-
voked much discussion. All were
agreed that some guaranty was desira-
BILE, but the difference was over the
amount Peoria wanted to make 1t
$40 and Bloomington proposed $35
with $50 day when bad weather pre-
vented games It was finally decided
to make it $50, with the proyiso that,
in case the total receipts for
series average more than the guaranty,
the visiting club shall be content with
its regular share.
~ Waterloo strong bidder.
Waterloo made perhaps the strong
est bid for a franchise, though all
three aspirants agreed to guarantee
more than the $4,000 minimum attend
ance for the season, making it 10000,
if necessary None offered any cash
bid for franchise. Waterloo drew
IS. 600 in the Central association last
year and Jacksonville $4,000. Dan
Vile, with no baseball experience save
that had in the Eastern Illinois league
a couple Of years ago. claims populA-
ton of $4,000. while the census fig ures
of 1900 give but 170G0.
As matters stand now the selection
of new city for the league depends
