HAS HOLY HORROR
Good Reason Why Dick Kin.
se1la Is in Such Fear of
Civil Courts.
THREATENED IN TWO WAYS
ContemYa Proceedings il He Does
Break Circuit and Damage
Suit if He Doesn't

No wonder Dick Kinsella las holy
horror of courts in baseball, for ne
seems in a fair way TO have the law
OF his head, either coming or going
If he breaks up the present Three-Eye
circuit he is in contempt OF court, and
if he fails to make a place for Quincy
that club will undoubtedly sue Kinsel-
la and Fearney for damages. Quincy's
lawyers have advised that club that,
inasmuch as $4,000 was paid the Cen
trail association on a pledge from Tear
ney and Kinsella that a berth would
be found in the Three-Eye, there
is good ground for a suit to recover
not only that sum, but damages for
being left without baseball and the
loss resulting from gathering a team
fer which there is nothing TO do. OF
course such suit, If filed, must neces-
sarily be against Kinsella and Tear
ney as individuals. because the Three
Eye league was never officially COM
mitted to the proposition.
Hence Kinsellas statement that
any league with Waterloo this season
and hence, also, the hasco of voting
Quincy into the league and adopting a
schedule with that city provided with
playing dates.
DO YOU SUPPOSE so.
Perhaps Dick means TO go so far as
TO make good on refusing TO have any
thing more 10 do with Waterloo. May
be he will prefer TO drop out of base
ball and give Quincy his place, in case
the baseball courts decide against
him.
No matter how the present trouble
ends the northern magnates hope
some day kinsella may be driven into
a corner just so they may see how
long he will hesitate in appealing TO
the courts for protection if he thinks
the baseball tribunals are not with
him.

BADLY BATTERED
BUT VICTORIOUS
BUSINESS MEN WIN
GAME AT WALLA WAIMA
Pendleton Basket Tossers Demon
strate Superiority Over Garden City
Players in Rough Contest.

Bruised and battered but trailing
clouds of glory in their wake, the
members of the Pendleton CONNER
cial basketball team arrived home
this morning with the scalps of the
walla walla business men dangling
from their belts. The game in that
city last night between the two ag-
gregations of antique athletes result
ed in 25 to 20 score with the larger
number engraved on the Pendleton
tablets, but victory was secured only
after one of the most exciting con-
tests ever pulled off in the Garden
City Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium.
1t was through the local mems abr
ity to come back in the second half
after the first had resulted in a 12
to score against them, that they re-
tired with the laurels of victory
Handicapped in the beginning by a
strange hall, a slippery floor and
springy baskets, they were unable to
annex any more than three field goals
and one foul in the first twenty min
utes although their team work was
manifestly superior to that of Walla
Walla's faded stars.
In the second half, however, they
started the game with dash and be-
fore a minute had elapsed, Nelson
Hartman and Chessman had each
dropped the ball in the basket and
from then on until the finish they
had the game well in hand. Walla
Walla, in this canto. only secured two
field goals, the remainder of her score
being made on fouls which were quite
frequent according to the referees
way Of thinking.
1t was Nelson's great basket shoot
ing in the second half that pulled the
game from the fire. The "Battler'
seemed to Lave an unerring eye and
shot six baskets one after another
