THEY FIND A WAY
Waterloo Boosters Have Trains
on Rock Island Held for
Baseball Club.
MAKES SCHEDULE EASIER
Overcome Original Objection Against
That City Becoming Member
of the Circuit.

1t is not often one sees as repre-
sentative gathering of business men
as was seen at a meeting of the
Three-Eye league in Chicago when
the Representatives of Waterloo, To-
wa, appeared at the Grand Pacific
hotel TO apply for a berth in the
Three-Eye league. There we're the
heads of wholesale houses, manufac-
turers, retail houses, editors and pro-
fessional men. The met with great
deal of opposition, one of the points
in particular brought against them
was the fact that it would be neces-
sary for a visiting club to leave Wa
terloo at 4:4O in the afternoon in
order to catch train for the south
This argument was met by the state
ment that it could be arranged with
the railroad companies to hold this
train a half hour which was doubted
very much by number present who
were opposing Waterloo.
Letter Tells Story.
The following letter from w. NJ.
Boring of Decatur in connection with
some matters pertaining to the sched-
ule will show what success these
hustling men from Waterloo have
met with:
.tDecatur, ILL.,, March II, 1910
Rock Island Baseball association,
Rock Island, III: Enclosed find copy
of a letter received from the general
passenger agent of the Rock Island
line, from which you will see he has
agreed to make arrangements to hold
80 minutes the No. 80 afternoon train
south on the Rock Island road out of
Waterloo, which is scheduled to leave
there at 4 40 and this will make 1t
$50. By this arrangement and call
ing the game a little earlier all clubs
moving southeasterly can leave Wa
terloo at $40, get into Rock Island
at 10:45 and Davenport at 1885.
They could stay over night in either
of these cities or they could go right
straight through to Peoria, arriving
there at $50 a. m, and thus easily
reach the cities in the southern end
of the circuit between games. All
that will be necessary to do is to not
ify the local Rock Island ticket agent
at Waterloo and he will hold the
train. Yours Truly,
"W.. NJ. BERING."

Manager Boyle of Waterloo finds
that he has no title to Dearborn. the
southern pitcher. Dearborn signed
in good faith, but Jonesboro, Ark,
still has a string on him and he will
not be allowed to come north. An
other pitcher, Douthett. who is also
in the winning class, sends word that
he is planning to get married and if
he does 1t will be no baseball for him
this year, at least.
Muscatine has signed Lou Walters
as manager, the directors of the club
having recalled the offer of Hugh
Shannon to lead the Muskies the
first year in the Northern associa-
ton Walters managed Pueblo in
the Western league last year and
was sold to st. Joe along with the
rest of the bunch when the fran
chise was transferred However, he
will have no trouble in getting his
release. Muscatine is counted lucky
to get him.
Sporting News: Dave Rowan has
had an odd career. He jumped an
eastern team when the Seattle club
was a member of the outlaw Coast
league. Signing with Seattle under
the name Of Drohan, he did fairly
good work as a left hand pitcher
Cigaret smoking was his trouble and
he dropped out of sight, only to turn
up in Spokane as a first baseman.
His record was so good, especially in
batting and base running, that St.
Paul drafted him. Trouble with low
balls proved his undoing and Seattle
secured him. Starting in strong, he
fell off badly. That was the year
Seattle tried out so players and fin
ished last. One day Dave said he
did not feel well and sent Matt Stan
ley to first matt did not play the
game of his life. Dugdale did not
like it, and at the end of the season
there was no effort made to hold
Dave The next heard of Dave he
was with Peoria and now he is the
president and part owner of the
club.

The White Sox seconds won a
game at Oakland yesterday l to O..
George Cutshaw, late of Blooming

Meddy Boucher has been trying to
get his release from Danville. as he
has a good job offered him in the
Connecticut league, but Manager Nc
Carthy cannot see the logic of his
argument.
Pitcher Belmont Method, who has
had a trial in this league and was
not an unqualified success, has been
bought by Springfield from Saginaw,
Mich. He won L 5 out of 20 games
last year.
The Chicago Cubs finally won
game from Cleveland, taking yester-
days count to 4 in the wooziest
struggle of the series. The error
column looks as though the teams
had met on goat pasture.
Waterloo's objection to the new
schedule is that it takes the team
away from home for II days after
the first three contests. 1t is argued
that it will cost much to carry the

NEW YORK STOCK LETTER.

Reported for The Times by Carson.
Craig & Co. from New York, June rs:
The list was again under pressure.
but the selling was not as aggressive
as heretofore. Attention was again d.
rected TO the news from the northwest,
and marketwise there was not much
news OF Importance. Very little dis
cussion was heard today regarding the
utterances OF the attorney-general. al
though the adjournment OF congress up
to this writing has not been announced
IL Is felt. however. that the same will
take place early next week
The average bank statement made a
good exhibit. but the actual figures in
dictated a material decrease In the re-
serve. The latter. OF course, did not re-
fleet yesterdays liquidation. Trade re-
ports indicated industry irregular, with
the most hesitancy noticeable In the
northwest and south. where crop uncer-
tainty holds operations back. The tech
nical position Of the list has been
greatly improved by the extension OF
the short iterest. but the operators for
the decline have again become quite
aggressive and perhaps will endeavor
TO force lower range of prices when
ever an opportunity Is presented.
The extent of the damage TO the
crops In the northwest will undoubted-
ly shape the immediate course OF the
stock market. but until something def
mite Is obtainable I'm that respect we
do not feel like advocating the short
side. Any change for the better in
weather conditions over Sunday will
probably have favorable effect on
sentiment Monday.
