skill In handling people. A social

QuiGcy has made another appeal to
the national board of arbitration in the
hope that that body will change its
recommendation against giving the
city its freedom from the Central assO-
citation. The move may possibly be
inspired by some of the southern
ThreC-Eye league clubs that have en-

There is just a possibility that the
Three-Eye may receive a proposition
from the Central to restore Waterloo
to the latter circuit as a result of the
declaration made at Quincy that the
city will not support a team in its
present company any longer. Without
DOUBT it will be hard for any Central
league team to please the Quincy fans

able tC place no club in the city. In
such an event Hannibal, which has
found the pace rather swift in the past,
will be left far out Of the way and may
decide to also drop out. Then it will
be necessary to find two new cities
and Waterloo and either Cedar Rapids
or Muscatine have been suggested. OF
course Quincy would be subject to dis
cipline and the Central would proba-
bly, be upheld if it reserved the terri
tory and kept organized baseball away
