has been the site Of the residences of the rul-
ers of Mexico ever since the days Of the Az
tees.
The Mexico City of former times was sur
rounded by Lake Tezcoco, the waters of which
were alkaline and unfit for use. Therefore the
inhabitants were compelled to obtain their
water from springs, and it was carried to the
city by means of aqueducts. One of these ran
along the road to Chapultepec and terminated
at the fountain Of Ell Salto del Agu, near Be-
lem prison.
Portions of this famous old waterway are
still standing and may be seen from the street
cars. 1t was constructed of bricks, laid in ce-
ment and plastered with tie same material 1t
was very substantial and would have stood
thousand years as we'll as one.
The region of this ancient waterway is one
of the most picturesque parts of the city. Out
on the Chapultepec highway, which was built
by Maximilian, scores of wood carriers may be
seen with enormous leads of frewood, that

NOTES OF THE GAME

Queisser was wild and didn't have
anything but a good noodle, but that
proved sufficient:
Dan O'Leary chose not to face the
music yesterday, and his understudy,
Red Walsh did the back-stopping.
Kelly errored twice, but he made up
for it by figuring in two very nice
plays in which he nipped men at first,
thanks to his dandy throwing arm.
Coleman batted for Elmer in the
ninth and led with a hit, but died at
second on a force out Miner made
two hits himself and between the two
they earned half the Pretzel bingles.
Stats cut up some cappers on first
and seemed to have glue in his glove.
He stretched out twice and got throws
that appeared to be too wide TO re-
suit In a putour.

Review of the Three-Eye Controversy

Dubuque Telegraph Herald: The

league opens under peculiar circum-
stances. The southern four of the
eight clubs-Springfeld, Peoria, Dan
vile. Bloomington-and the president
Of the league restrained by Injunction

four, or northern clubs,-Davenport

start the season with a schedule of
their own adoption. Until the injunc-
ton shall be dissolved, or the applica-
ton for it withdrawn, it will not be
possible for the enjoined clubs TO play
In the ThreeEye league.
The southern clubs could play among
themselves. as are the northern clubs,
but the supreme court Of baseball

ruled against them and against

For their conduct throughout the i'm
broglio has been anything but sports
manlike. 1t seems evident that they
or some OF them, along with the
league president gave assurance TO
Quincy that upon its withdrawal from
the Central league IT would be admit
ted TO membership in the Three-Eye
league. On the strength of this as
surance, Quincy purchased its release
from the Central league at a cost of
$4,000. The assurance was given
Quincy, and Quincy accepted it, with
out consultation with the four noF,.l-
ern clubs. Yet the southern hubs
knew, and the Quincy management
must have knoWn-that without the
assent of the northern clubs no city
could be deprived of its franchise, nor
the league be enlarged to admit Quincy

meeting OF the Three-Eye league
with the Quincy Injunction In force.
Waterloo withdrew its Injunction
and restraining order and left its
whole case with the national COM
mission. Quincy and its allies
sought the courts after the decision
by the board Of arbitration and the
national commission were made.
waterloo's position Is that Quincy
has no Just claim against the north
ern clubs of the league and they are
no more entitled to help pay Quincy
for any loss than half the clubs of
the National league would be. Wat
erloo feels that whoever was respon-
sible for Quincy's loss, whether It
southern clubs, or all OF them to-
gether should make up the benefit
fund. Waterloo, at this time, OBJ
jects to putting up money to be used
by a baseball club owner in purchas-
ing a franchise Of another club."
ROWLAND TALKS.
Clarence Rowland OF the Dubuque
club said:
I'VE cant see why the Dubuque
club should be called upon to pay
any part OF the expense Quincy has
been put to. Dubuque has never In
any way, neither by suggestion nor
by promise given Quincy any en-
couragement whatever in the at
tempt to obtain a franchise in the
Three-Eye league and is therefore
IN no way responsible for Quincys
loss or predtcament."
RUMOR OF SALE.
Springfield, Ill, May GA rumor.
current last night, and coming from
such good authority that It could
hardly be doubted, was to the effect
that the Quincy Baseball association
had purchased the franchise of the
bloomington association in the
Three-Eye league. This, coupled
with the recommendation made by
the national commission, leads to the
belief that the trouble is now over
and that the league will soon open
with eight clubs.
The rumor, while IT was denied
by o. W. Shannon, secretary-treasur-
er of the Quincy association. finds
ready believers in Springfield. 1t
has been published broadcast the
last few days that the Bloomington
association was willing and ready
to sell out II any team could raise
the necessary amount of money.
There is no question but what the
Quincy management could raise
enough money to take over the fran
chise, and this lends color to the
report.
SOUTHERN CLUBS TO PLAYF
Peoria, ILL.,, May 6.-Pending a
settlement of the Quincy Injunction
by the Springfield court the four
southern clubs Of the Three-Eye
league have arranged to play q four

at an early hour yesterday
morning in a meeting Of the south
erners in this city.
President Tearney was present
and following the session stated
that the southerners had agreed to
stick together, and that both Rowan
of Peoria and Boyle of Danville had
reconsidered their statements as to
their refusal to Join in four club

A Leuerd of Lace.

According to Melchior de Vogue. the
legend Of lace is as follows: A Vene-
tan sailor gave his ladylOve a frond of
spreading seaweed to keep him in
memory while at sea. But the girl
found that the seaweed was rapidly
drying up and disappearing. So she
caught the fine branches and leaves OF
the plant with thread against a piece
of linen and. working on. with her
thoughts following her lover, invented
lace.
