Under the suggested plans of the
league it will incorporate in Illinois
with $500 capital, each club paying
$500 for it's franchise. Other resolu-
tons that went through were to have
at least half of the umpires colored
men and pay them s. a game; to es-
tablish blacklist of players who may
jump a reserve list to be agreed upon
by the clubs at the next meeting; TO
limit the league to one franchise in

sion was INDUCED in at the meeting,

that Chicago capitalist had offered TO
finance the league heavily if it needed

CLIFTON CRAWFORD AIDS A FINE
HIT IN THREE TWINS"

One of the greatest musical COM
edy hits of recent years, Three
Twins now playing an engagement
at the Chicago opera house. Chfca-
go, for two and half hours keeps a
big and representative audience with
a continual smile upon it's face
There is laughter at the antics of
Clifton Crawford, NIayme Gehrue
and their associate players, for
Three Twins" is farcical. being the
funny old farce 'Tncog'' made over
into musical comedy, and it's great
Many whistleable songs has Three
Twins. There is the delightful
'Yama Yama Man" and "Cuddle Up
Little Closer. Lovey Mine The
audiences demand many repetitions
Of these songs. But these are not
the only good songs in the show.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-12-29

Clifton Crawford is the principal
comedian of Three Twins He was
a popular yaudevillian and he is even
more popular playing a legitimate
role, for he is clever comedian
singer and dancer. Mayme Gehrue
sings and danced as chamingly as
ever and looks stunning in her pref
" gowns. Joseph Allon, who plays
the part of General Stanhope. is one
of the best character actors on the
American stage. His role of the
nervous old father is played with
consumate art. Della Nivan, the
cheerful weeper," Daisy Leon as the
girl in love with Tom Stanhope (Mr.
Crawford), and Ralph Locke as DR..
Hartman, are delightful. The chorus
is a great big bunch of loveliness.
The costuming is splendid and the
scenic equipment and stage proper
ties among the best seen here. There
are novelties galore in Three
Twins" Matinees will be given on
Wednesday and Saturday. Mail or
ders will be filled for out of town
patrons and reservation made as
close to the location desired.

DENIES FIVE WILL
OPPOSE WATERLOO
Newspaper From That City Warns
Quincy against Counting the
Berth Won.

Waterloo Reporter. An article which
appeared in the Chicago Inter-Ocean
states that one of the reasons why
Waterloo is to be ousted is that this
city did not reach the $4,000 attend
ance guaranteed. This is a deliberate
falsehoOd, as Waterloo paid TO the
Three-Eye league sinking fund through
President Tearney 10 per cent of So
AIS paid admissions. The writer of
this apparently wilful piece of misrep-
resentation goes on to state that it will
not be necessary for Mr.. Tearney to
interest himself in Waterloo's eXpul-
sion, as the southern clubs can turn
the trick unaided.
The agreement Waterloo made with
the league when admitted is printed
in full particular attention being di-
rected to the clause that Waterloo will
withdraw from the circuit if a major
ity of the clubs so desire. A majority
in a league of eight clubs means that
five will have to vote in favor of drop
ping this city. The best Kinsella can
muster is four. and even one or two of
these are weakening, and may not vote
as big Dick thinks. The Waterloo del
egation will go into the Three-Eye
league meeting fully prepared for all
eventualities, and about as we'll posted
on law and procedure as a Joe Can
non or a Champ Clark \ word to our
former friends down the river-don't
count your franchise before the nest
ing season.

The play deals with the adventures of
a poor young man for the country. who
goes to Chicago just prior to the great
fire. He falls in love with the rich
and naughty daughter of a German
baron, and is looked upon with scorn
at first, but finally wins her interest
and eventually her love when the bar

STICK WITH CLUB
Baseball Fans of the City Ready
to Rally to Support of
the Game.
HEAR NEWS WITH REGRET
Dislike Even Possibility That City
Might Drop Out of League in
Which 1t Is Oldest Member.

The news of the mere possibility of
Rock Island being without organized
baseball next year, as noted in The
Argus last evening, was received with
among the fans of the city, and every
where the slogan was stick and we
will stick with you" The general
opinion was that Rock Island, the old
est member of the Three-Eye, had been
in the game too long to permit itself
to be left without baseball, much less
to be dropped into a lower class. The
advertising that the city gets out of
it's baseball team is benefit that any
one in the city will undoubtedly rec
ognize. and the business interests of
the city are greatly benefited by the
name of the city appearing in the met
ropolitan and other papers of the state
each day.
ALWAYS A STRUGGLE.
The keeping of the game alive in a
city of this size has always proved a
task of no mean magnitude. In the
past the brunt of the work has been
borne by such men as NJ. H. Sexton,
H. z. Casteel L. NJ. Casteel, F. o.
