city Is PRESIDENT will take up the
work of reclassifying all the minor
leagues in the United States, basing
the changes upon the figures of the
new census and the mileage. AS it
now stands all sorts of claims are
being made with reference to the pop
ulation of most of the cities of the
country, no authoritative count having
been made for nine years, and popula-
aion is the thing upon which classified
ton of baseball leagues is supposed
to be based
Are All o. Il. Now.
For instance combined population
of 100000 is necessary to give Glass
B rating, while half that number is
the minimum for Glass c. The
Three-Eye league, as at present con
stituted, will about squeeze into
or rather remain in Glass b
in the matter of population, al
though nobody disputes that it is en-
titled to the higher rating on the score
of quality of baseball furnished. The
Central association can never be
higher than Glass c. Out of the two
circuits it will be impossible to make
better than one Glass B league and
one Glass C, as at present. In the
shuttle. however, all of the Central
towns will see chance to get into
faster company and all that fail will
be peeved. And then imagine what.
any Three-Eye league city will say 10
being showed back to Glass c.
Requires Authority to Execute.
1t will be big job for the national
association, vested in full authority,
and with the next census tables 20
guide it, to undertake one year hence,
but what sort of a job can the mag
mates hope to make of it when mutual
consent must be given to make any
changes effective
The Three-Eye league is now work
ing under an agreement that is bind
ing within the circuit for two years.
and the Central has an agreement
hat holds for one year more. Will either
circuit be likely to give unanimous
to swapping dead town for
a live one? Not much. Past expert
ence has shown that it is a safe bet
would rush to the courts
before the controversy had lasted two
weeks, and before it was over there
might be one Glass B circuit to play
ball next season, and there might not
be. Certainly there would be no Glass
circuit
And remember that this is to be an
agreement for only one year. Next
winter the national association VIII |
nave the work IN do all over AGAIN
ior the census figures will not be avail |
lble till then.
1t is ticklish business, this thing 1f |
changing baseball circuits. and if the |
nagnates are wise they will not start |!

who would fly the Three-Eye league

would Rock Island do with the flag

pion of the Central association and
would feat the pennant next season.

There Are Others.
This is one OF the dismal pictures
that Rock Island fans see when thoy
contemplate the remote possibilities CT
the present situation. There are
others. For instance. how would you
like to see Rock Island the only Illi-
nois town in a new circuit. That is
another possibility. With Daven-
rort, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids,
Burlington, Waterloo and Ottumwa
wanting in it might be found more ex-
pedient to pick up another town in
Iowa. instead of taking in any of the
other present Illinois towns of the Cen
trail association. Anything is liable %
happen in the deal that the cards are
now to be shufIled for.

Substituting Danville for Decatur or
Waterloo for Cedar Rapids will not
materially alter these figures, and
neither would the substitution of Dan
vile and Quincy for Cedar Rapids and
Dubuque, as suggested by Lick Kin
sella. Belden Hill's idea. however, of
embracing five or six Iowa towns with
Rock Island and perhaps one other
place in Illinois, would assuredly
shove Rock Island and Davenport
down into Glass C and Three-Eye
league patrons hereabout want none of
that.
While Dick Kinsella since his re-
turn to Springfield has been guilty Of
some rash assertions, his idea of a
baseball circuit for next season is not
unreasonable. He says:
Il am in favor of a change in the
circuits OF the Three-Eve and Central
leagues. My idea is to transfer
Quincy from the Central to the Three
Eye league and to give the Central or
the Iowa league Dubuque and Cedar
Rapids. This would give us league
with Bloomington, Springfield. Dan
vile and Decatur close together N
the south and Peoria. Quincy, Rock
Island and Davenport close together
on the north or west. This would
relieve us of the long jumps to Du-
buque and Cedar Rapids. The eight
clubs would be of more nearly equal
size
Quincy wants to come in. but of
course cannot unless some agreement
can be arrived at between the Cen
trail and ThIee-Eye leagues. This MAJ
ter was left in the hands of the com
mittee.

meeting at Chicago this week and gave
President Sexton the credit for keep

that undertaking. Cities in a Glass b

TOWN TOPICS. BRIDGEPORT vs. FEDERATION,
Score l2 to II in Favor of Bridgeport

On Monday, Labor Day, the Bridge port baseball team came to Newtown and did our boys up to the tune of l2 to II runs. It was an ideal day, not too warm or too cold, and about l5O people saw the game and pro nounced 1t q good one, for not until the last man was out was 1t ueeided
 Bridgeport was the first at the bat, and when they had finished three innings they had th', rams, one for each time at the bat. In the fourth they drew blanks, got one in the fifth, drew goose eggs in the sixth, one in the seventh and in the eight they had piled up six runs before the last man was out. This was their busy inning and mighty nnluNsy enc for the Federation. In the nih,b inning they got one more r'tn. For the Federation the first tw inni. g were blanks but in the third they get one run. In the fourth they were blanked again. In the fifth the Federation tied the score and 1t be- gan to look interesting. In the sixth it was tied again but in the seventh three more runs were added and the score stood to 5 in favor of New town. Then came that unlucky eighth inning and the visitors were three runs in the lead. In the ninth with three men on bases, Nichols, the Bridgeport pitcher, gave way to Kelly and after the smoke had cleared away and the last man was out New town was found to be one run shy of tying the score. The score follows:
