Spots story is this. A week ago
he was missed from his home one
morning by the members of the Ches-
ser family, residents of this city.
For several days he did not return
and the folks began to think he had
gone to dog heaven or had been kid

would return to his happy home.

enjoyed seeing the twin cities. the

CITIES SCRAMBLE
FOR VACANT BERTH.
Monmouth, Cedar Rapids, Moberly and
Jacksonville Want to be Made
Eighth Member Of the
Central.
DOPE ON THE MEETING
Masnates Acted Wisely in Not Re
leasing Quincy, as City Should
be Real Life Of the
League.
DOPE ON THE MEETING

From now until November %, four
cities Monmouth, Cedar Rapids,
Moberly and Jacksonville-will en-
gage in a deadly fight for the one va
cant berth in the Central Association.
If the netting at Galesburg yesterday
is any evidence of how these cities
will struggle for supremacy in this
fight, the question as to the eighth
member Of the league is greatly in
doubt and will be until after the mail
vote has been taken. Jacksonville,
the last city named, is striving for
readmittance to the circuit, but few
are inclined to look with favor upon
the struggles of a few live baseball
men.
At rough glance it looks as If
Monmouth and Cedar Rapids are the
two possibilities, with the former city
in equal favor with the city of great
er population. If Bender Hill is in.
charge of baseball in Cedar Rapids his
name will add weight when the time
for counting the vote arrives, but
otherwise it looks as if Monmouth has
the call. However. is speaking OF
Monmouth it is always necessary to
add that that city cannot play Sunday
ball within the city limits.
Quincy Needed.
While many fans expect the Quincy
baseball team to draw 10000 people
during the season, yet yesterdays
meeting showed that the baseball mag
mates of the circuit are so well pleased
with the city during the past, that
Quincy's departure would not be list
ened to for a moment Under almost
any consideration 10000 fans will turn
out to witness the sport.
The fact that Snapper Kennedy
might put a baseball team in st.
Joseph, Mo-, was mentioned, but Mr..
Kennedy failed to appear at the meet
ing, and no proposition was heard.

Building an Fulton Street No Longer

The building dates back TO time when Brook

the business centre.
