contracts, decision from either trI-
bunal must agree when honest Jude-
ment and common sense dictates the
verdict.
al take the broad ground that no or.
eanlzation, baseball or other, can en-
courage a city, or q corporation Within
a city, to Invest large sums Of money
and then arbitrarily destroy that in
vestment by an unjust termination of
membership or other Illegal action.
Knowing the character and ability
of Messrs. Hermann, Johnson and
Lynch Of the national commit ssion, their
thorough knowledge and understanding
of baseball law, and the reputation al
ready established by that honorable
body, have no fears of the result Of a
review of this case by the national COM
mission. In fact, ! think the impor

Because the national commission
casually lent Kinsella and Tearney
an ear these rough house workers
thought they had a license TO grab
the Three-Eye league up bodily and
make off with it. Swelled up by the
slight consideration shown them they
filed up the newspapers that would
print their stuff with some funny rot
Below are samples appearing in the
southern papers early this week.
Springfield Journal: The future of
the southern teams is no longer a
question of doubt. The action of
the national commission is taken as
final. and if the minor association,
of which Sexton of Rock Island is
member, declines to act, the ma
tional commission will take the af-
fair in hand and arrange for an or
ganization composed of Springfield,
Decatur, Bloomington, Peoria, Dan
vile and Quincy It is probable that
the first games will be played early
in April Indications are
that the circuit will be composed Of
eight clubs, after the commission
has acted It is certain that Water
loo and Dubuque will be ousted, as
the southern magnates who have
stood together during the long bat
tie have decided not to engage in
contests with any towns that have
taken their cases into court.
Indications are that Davenport
and Rock Island will be taken in
the new league, II they desire to
remain on the baseball map. While
the north end OF the league is bat
Ting with the decision of the na-
tional commission, the south end
men are getting down to business.
A meeting probably will be held in
Chicago within 10 days, when a final
decision will be reached.

The national commission does not
very often take issue with the nation

appeal of the Waterloo case is not
causing any worry at this end of the
line. Play ball.

The Bloomington Paragraph SAYS:
IF the national commission also de
cides in favor of Waterloo, then il viii
mean a ten-cIub league, with Quincy
and Decatur" The Paragraph adds
that the southern clubs will probably
close up their parks rather than &C
cept any settlement other than a ten
club league if Waterloo stays in That
listens very bad. but happily it is like
most of the rest of the stuff that has
come from the same source-it is
merely blum. In the event that
Springfield and Bloomington insist
upon defying the baseball authorities,
as well as the courts. il is not likely
that Danville and Peoria would stick
and see their teams taken away from
them and the towns outlawed. Spring

ed TO go their way and Decatur and
Quincy be taken in their places. Real
ly. nobody up this way would care

London, June T7.-Poor old London
never appeared to worse advantage than
just now. The carpenters have nearly
completed their task Of swathing her with
an unbecoming garb OF timber, and In the
Iast few days the coronation decorator
has commenced his fell work.
We have been told that artistic schemes
had been planned by well-known artists
for some district, but as yet there are
no signs Of these artistic decorations.
Until now, only. fearsome trumpery is
to be seen. the wooden stands being
colored a glariant blue or yellow, or
covered with 1ll-ftting cheap cloth, gen.
orally of claret color or turkey red
All Of the poles are surmounted with
tin shields, painted in heraldic figures, or
bearing the pasted gilt letter G. R. L.,
the artistry OF both being suggestive Of
the pavement or beer saloon artist.
Outside Of one or more Of the big
houses in Piece, every West End square
stands a little sentry box. This marks
the abiding place of every royal guest.
On Monday every box will have a red
coated soldier to protect his majesty's
guests.
