ENTER PROTESTS
President Tearney Asks for
Suggestions in Regard to
Change in Schedule.
MEETING ONLY A WEEK OFF
In the Meantime There Will BE Alter
atiOns in Effort to Satisfy All
of Cities on Circuit.

The Rock Island baseball club re-
| ceived request this morning from
/ President A. R. Tearney of the Three
/ Eye league in which the directors, We're
| asked to offer any suggestions in re-
| gard to changes in the schedule which
they may feel are needed. President
| Tearney says he has taken up with
Wilson Boring the matter of changing
the schedule so as to meet with more
general approval and that as there is
only a week until it is time for the
league TO settle the question. the draft
ought to be changed at once.
President W. H. Reck replied 70
President Tearney's letter by stating
that the local club was satisfied with
the present draft of the schedule in
every way except that it calls for but
three trips around the circuit, whereas
the Rock Island association believes
that it is for the best interest of the
game that four trips be made. He
called the attention of the league ex-
ecutive to the fact that under the pres
ent draft of the schedule there will De
but six games in Rock Island through
out the entire month of June, a period
when baseball is at its best.
Others Favor Change.
The attention of the president was
also called to the fact that other clubs
besides Rock Island favored the fou-
trip plan, Davenport being especially
strong for this change. In a letter
accompanying the draft of the schedule
as prepared by Mr.. Boring. it was
stated that only one club asked for
four trips. Mr.. Reck took exception
to this statement and said that boch
the Rock Island and the Davenport
clubs hau asked for four trips and
that he believed others wanted this
plan followed. Except fer this one
objection. the schedule meets with the
approval of the local association. The
opening and closing dates are wall ar
ranged the holidays are well taken
care of and few of the jumps are IN
comfortably long ones.

Judging from the betting flavor

form.
All the sporting writer's concede
Nelson an easy victory, in spite of
the fact that there have been so many
stories in circulation to the effect
that the battler had trained down too
easily. Wolgast has never essayed
the long route. which is known to be
