Every effort was made by the
inhabitants of the town to quencl

too great headway before the fire
was discovered, and famed by a
considerable wind, spread rapidly
from building to building, until
in a comparatively short time
1T was seen the town was doomed
The loss will b. extremely haav

growing at a very gratifying rat
The total loss is estimated to b.

ROWAN AN OWNER
Peoria Manager Buys Stock
and Is Elected President of
the Association.
JOHNSON DECIDES TO QUIT
Announcement Made of the Purchase
of Three Men from DefunCt
Aberdeen Team.

Dave Rowan is the whole baseball
show at Peoria now. Yesterday at a
meeting of the stockholders he was
sold half the interest in the club held
by R. H. Johnson and Al Leisy and
elected president of the association,
succeeding Mr. Johnson. The last
named remains interested in the team
but will have nothing to do with the
direction of affairs hereafter. He is
manager of the P. & P. u railroad and
says he found the pressure of business
too heavy to admit of his longer con-
tinuing active in baseball.
At the meeting it was announced
that the club had purchased Pitchers
GUerney and Ovitz and Second Base
man Moore from the defunct Aberdeen
club of the Northwestern league.
This gives the club two Moores. Fred
and Charles, to fight it out for the
second sack.
Pitchers Well known.
Ovitz is the famous University of
Illinois pitcher who started his pro-
fcssionaI career with Dubuque in the
Three-Eye league and was purchased
early last season from the Miners by
Aberdeen. whore he made an excel
lent record with the Northwestern
league. Stuart Guerney is not a
stranger in the Three-Eye league. hav-
irg been with the Dubuque club for
several seasons. After the close of
last season he was traded by Dubuque
to the Aberdeen club and now finds
his way back to the Three-Eye circuit.
Charles Moore, the new second base
man. is signed on the recommendation
of the newly elected President Rowan

is declared that he is not only a con-
sistent hitter, but one of the most
clever second basemen in the North

PUT Off MEETING
Three-Eye League Magnates
Will Gather in Chicago Tues
day Instead of Monday.
SCHEDULE CAUSES DELAY
Wilson Boring Given Day More in
Which to Prepare Drafts of
Playing Scheme.
Coach Hamilton.
Stewart, l. &.

President A r. Tearney of the
Three-Eye league sent out notices to-
day to the magnates that on account
Ce the controversy over the schedule
question he has decided TO hold the
meeting called for next Monday one
day later, or on Tuesday. He made
this change in order to give Wilson
Boring a chance to prepare further
drafts of the schedule in anticipation
of the changes in the original one
which the different clubs will request.
The meeting will be held at the Pal
mer house in Chicago and the main
business before it will be the adoption
Cf the schedule-for the season. The
majority of the clubs have about
az! eed that the four-trip plan is prefer
able to the three-trip one as outlined
in the tentative draft, and it is ex-
pected that the directors will get to-
gether on this arrangement at once.
VIII Revise Constitution.
In addition TO the schedule matter
the revision of the league constitution
will cor up for consideration. At
the November meeting a committee
consisting of VI. II. Sexton of this city.
James T. Hayes of Davenport and r.
H Johnson Of Peoria was directed t.
so over the constitution and revise il
50 as to bring the component parts
together and make them clearer. This
work has been done and the commit
tee is ready to report and submit It's
work for approval. No radical changes
are to be made, but among those to
be recommended arc that each visit
ing team receive a guarantee of So
a game, and that official scorers shall
not be connected with the club by
which they are recommended for APP
pointment.
From all indications the magnatos
will have a busy day of it if they finish
their business Tuesday.

ON ANXIOUS SEAT
Catcher King Will Not Know
His Fate Before the End
of Ten Days.
COMMISSION DOES NOT ACT
Wants Correspondence from Both
Sides Before Deciding as to
Reinstatement.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 25.-John
King, former Cub catcher, and the
Chicago public will be kept on the
anxious seat for another ten days at
least. Action on the application of
the player for reinstatement was
postponed yesterday by the national
commission pending the submission
of evidence which has been requested
by that body from Killing and from
the Chicago club.
Lack of evidence in the case was
given by the commissioners as their
reason for failing to reach a definite
decision, it being held that the catch
er must show cause to the commits
sion why he should be reinstated 1t
had been expected this would be
forthcoming and that the Chicago
club and King would have on hand
the facts regarding Kings one year
absence from the team, but nothing
was presented.
Want to See Correspondence.
The case was discussed at consid-
cradle length and at the conclusion
of the session it was announced the
commission had agreed upon the fol-
lowing plan: The Chicago club man
agement and King are to be asked
to submit within five days all cor
respondence regarding the affair that
has passed between them from the
close of the season of 1908 to the
present time. In addition King is
given five days to submit list of the
players he took with him to Chicago
when his team played with semi-pro-
fessional teams in that city last sum-
mer. When these conditions are met,
the commission will take up the appli-
cation again, and it was announced
they would be guided by the facts as
they are found to be.
