WANTS 5000 FOR DAMAGE.
II. A. Smith, who Drove Auto Into
Rope, Wants Settlement.

II. A. Smith. the Marion township
farmer who drove his automobile into
a rope stretched across East Main
street at Eighth avenue Saturday ar
ternoon and damaged the machine,
says he will settle with the city now
for 5000. This offer of settlement has
been made by Mr. Smith to Mayor
jones, and the inference the mayor
drew from the proposition was that
Smith would demand a greater amount
if a settlement were not reached at
this time The mayor did not give the
claimant any reason to believe that
the city would pay the sum asked.

Thomas Ryan of Chicago is being
held under bonds of 1000 on a charge
of receiving stolen property. while the
police are trying to fasten on him u
charge Of having broken into and sto-
len two overcoats from the London

burglary occurred last night. The glass
in one OF the rear doors was broken
and the burglar made his entrance to

Bile that other articles as well were

found in the vicinity of Twenty-third

trying to sell the overcoats to a man
with whom he came in contact.

FARRELL READY
WITH DECISION
Secretary of National Board
Promises Waterloo Yer
dict Tonight.
CHARACTER UNDERSTOOD
Will Order League to Proceed With
Present Eight Clubs-Appeal
to Commission Expected.

Secretary Farrell of the national
board, the minor leagues court for
the decision of baseball disputes, re-
fused today at his office at Auburn.
n. Y. to give out any advance synop-
sis Of the ruling on the Waterloo
case. wiring The Argus as follows:
Auburn, N. Y, March "a, 1911
Rock Island Evening Argus: The AS
ISOLATED Press will handle decision
IN full We do not care to have a
synopsis printed
J. H. FARRELL Secretary.
The original intention was to make
the finding public last night, but
some changes were necessary and it
is probable it will be finished today
and will come out tonight.
Inklings which have come from
unofficial sources, have satisfied the
northern clubs that the contentious
OF Waterloo will be fully upheld and
that the league will be ordered to
play ball during 1911, with the
same eight clubs as in 1910. Ad-
vance information indicates, also,
that President Al Tearney and the
southern clubs will take an appeal
70 the national commission, which.
despite reports to the contrary, has
declined to take any hand in the
controversy till after the minor
league board has passed upon it.
MAY CONTAIN REBUKE.
The decision Secretary Farrell is
preparing is expected to deal lightly
with Waterloo's alleged offense
against baseball ethics IN taking its
case before a civil court and to
sharply rebuke President Tearney
and the southern clubs for deliber-
ately creating a situation that vir-
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-03-24

tually compelled such appeal. Those
who are responsible for the un-
authorized bargain to give Quincy q
place in this circuit will probably
receive some attention and 1t is not
unlikely that the attempt OF the
southern clubs to avoid the regular
course of procedure by ignoring the
national board and taking the case
up to the national commission will
be discussed. The inference win be
made plain that the course pursued
by the faction led by r. F. Kinsella
of Springfield and President Tear
ney has been subversive TO the best
interests q baseball and in violation
Of the leagues constitution
WILL RESENT IMPUTATIoN.
These, II 10 believed, will be some OF
the salient features Of the coming de-
cision. The national board win par
ticularly resent the fmputation that
the southern clubs could not expect
common justice from that body be-
cause OF the fact that 81. H Sexton OF
this city is a member. The circum-
stances under which Secretary Farrell
was approached, planned with view
OF compelling snap Judgment or else
forcing him to appear TO seek delay,
will undoubtedly be gone into.
AS has been stated. the first and
only appeal came Thursday, March
16 in a telegram from Tearney, with
a request for an immediate reply by
wire The message asked for permits
sion to withdraw from the Three-Eye
league and TO form another of the
same name and made up Of Spring
field, Bloomington, Peoria, Danville,
Decatur, and Quincy. There was no
presentation of reasons for such &C
ton. Secretary Farrell did reply by
wire, but instead of giving an answer
as requested, asked Tearney If the lat
ter realized that any decision he
might make would be final and bind
ing, and inquired II such decision
made offhand, were desired.
TEARNEY Is SILENT.
Tearney did not reply. Saturday
Secretary Farrell again wired. repeat
ing his interrogatory as to wether an
onhand decision were desired, and
Sunday he finally got an answer from
Tearney volunteering the information
that the case had been taken out OF
the hands of the national board and
then rested with the national commits
sion.
Later, when Tearney's final tsle-
gram was shown to Garry Hermann,
chairman of the national commission,
he declared Tearney had never been
authorized TO say that the national
commission had taken up the case, for
it had done no such thing, preferring
to permit the national board, to which
it properly belonged, to return a YER
dict

While there is no doubt that Kin
sella and Tearney will attempt TO
make an appeal, it appears doubtful II
the national commission will consent
to go into the case at all. unless re-
Quested to do so by officers Of the ma
tional board.
