tory. Many of them who expressed
opinions felt sorry for Quincy, but
they all agree that the former Central
metropolis made a big mistake in leav-
ing the association this year, with
only visionary prospect of gaining
admission to the Three-I league. The
game fight made by Waterloo and the
justice of its claims appealed to local
fans who are the fairest in the world.

1t begins to look like Waterloo and
the cities in the north end of the
Three-I league circuit have the cities
in the southern end whipped to a
fragile" and that Quincy is out in
the cold. The board of arbitration of
the National Association of Profession
al Base Ball league has decided that
the "Three-I" league, officially the
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa leagues
shall continue as constituted during
the season of 1910. The decision, as
announced by Secretary John H. Far
rell, eliminates Quincy, H., as mem
Der of the league, and sustains Water
leo, Iowa, for membership. An i'm
mediate meeting OF the league is Or
dered to prepare the sehdule for the
1911 on-Hannibal Journal.
The situation In the Three-I league
shows the folly of putting a man at
the head of league affairs who is not
a resident Of one of the leagues cities
and who is not an expert in base ball
law. 1t has been tried before, but sell
dom with success. Tearney, who is a
/ business man of Chicago. with only an
/ amateurish idea of base ball. was
| placed in the ThreeI presidency at
| tie behest of Dick Kinseila, of Spring
/ field. Kinsella's aim, it is generally
/ believed, has been to get control of
! the affairs of the league, SO that he
I could manipulate it to suit himself.
/ Tearney has acted entirely in accord
ance with the wishes and dictation OF
I Kinsella. He has not made decision
/ in the tangle now involving the league
without first consulting Kinsella.
! Tearney has been at sea the entire
! time. Kinsella might as we'll have
i been president of the league, for all
the individuality that Tearney has put
into that office The spectacle of a
president OF so important a circuit: as
the Three-I conniying to destroy foul
of the eight cities, and issuing such
threats as disruption of the league as

What the National Commission ought
to do is to dishar from profession

league who makes threats of disrup

for such action. The tactics pursued
by President Tearney and his mentors

AS president of the whole league
Tearney should keep his hands off th'

The Quincy bugs are confiden
that they will play League base bal
this season. However, they know no
whether it will be Three-I, city leagu.
or a little of the brush league variety
