WARMED OVER

The Bloomington association has
asked President Tearney to submit
propositions to the different cities in
the Three-Eye asking their opinion
upon changing the schedule so that
there shall be three trips around the
circuit for each team instead of four
the object being to save railroad fare
Some of the magnates have always
leaned toward penny-wise and pound
foolish policy on railroad fares. To
them a dollar paid out for railroad
fare looks as big as two dollars gained
through shorter home series. They
do not stop to consider that if the
teams make but three trips around
the home series will in many cases
be heightened to three weeks or more.
Experience has shown that long home
series will kill interest in baseball in
even the Invest towns.
Belden Hill says he takes no stock
IN the movement for a new Class g
league for the organization of which
a meeting at Peoria next Monday has
been called. He says there are several
reasons why the circuit as proposed
is an impossibility. One is that the
towns are too widely separated. Ap-
parently Hill is talking sense. OF the
cities suggested the Three-Eye has had
experience with Joliet, Clinton, Cedar
Rapids and Decatur. Teams have
been taken out of all but Decatur for
sufficient reasons. Moline and Musca-
tine have given good semi-pro ball but
Indifferent support. and would hardly
make good vita professional teams.
Jacksonville flunked in the Central as
sociation this season and Streator and
Kankakee do not promise very well.
If a league were formed it would be
impossible to frame up a consecutive
schedule, owing to the long and COM
plicated jumps, due to poor rail con-
nections between the cities.

 Boom

Paul Versluis has just returned from a trip extending through Ray. thence overland to the Gibson mine and then to Globe and back by way of Globe and Roosevelt. In regard to conditions in the vicinity of Ray, MT. Versluis re- ports that everything is decidedly on the boom. However. in his opinion. the camp at the Gibson mine, which is about eighteen miles from Globe. is the finest he was ever in. Sanitary conditions are observed at all times Every bit of garbage is taken a con siderable distance outside the camp limits and as a result there are no flies in the Gibson camp The Gibson mine is shipping about ten tons of ore daily at the present time. At Globe. several Mesa people were seen. Char les Holdren is running an amusement place and is making money. He also saw Ed Griffin and Ad Shornick On the return trip MT. Versluis met the Ed Jones and l.. B. Johnson party a few miles this side of Globe The feed in the mountains was found to be the best ever and the working men at the various mining camps receiving good wages.

 while Chi Peterson took the part of
 city marshal. Vivian Irwin was the
 typical bad man and Mae Lattural

 The case was finally dismissed with
 the understanding that she call at the
