DELEGATES TO
GO IN A BODY
Representatives of Northern
Three-Eye Clubs Leave
Here Tonight,
HAVE CAUCUS AT CHICAGO
Will Go Into Meeting With Line OF
Action Mapped Out-OpIose
Ten-Cub League.


resentatives of the four northern
clubs OF the Three-Eye will leave this
city for Chicago 10 attend the meeting
of that organization called al the Pal
mer house al 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning Il is the intention 10 hold
q conference at Chicago tonight TO de
eide on a course Of action 70 be fol
lowed tomorrow.
a report was circulated that such a
meeting was 70 be held IL Rock Island
today. but it did not materiaIize. The
delegates from Dubuque and Water
loo, however. arrived during the day,
and IL was arranged that the entire
party should 90 together from here
TO Chicago. II. z. Casteel and ]. n.
Colligan we're selected by the direc
tors 10 represent the Rock Island
club.
Only sur1nises can be made as TO
the attitude that the northern clubs
will take in regard TO a 10-club league.
but it is the general belief that they
viii fight tito the last II they re
fuse 70 consent TO circuit changes the
matter must end there, for the higher
authorities have ruled that it takes at
this kind and the president of the
league cannot break a tie, neither can
there be any deadlock unless one side
or the other refuses to come into tn
meeting and thereby prevents the
presence of quorum.
HOUND TO KEEP Up FIGHT.
Defeated at every turn the Kin
sella faction insists upon keeping
the Three-Eye circuit in hot water.
From the tone Of comment in news
papers in the lower end OF the
league the southeruers are going 10
Chicago tomorrow prepared 10 in
sist upon a ten-club league and that
Decatur and Quincy be admitted.
This is merely another way of &C
complishing what Kinsella has been
trying TO pull of from the first in
getting rid OF Waterloo. with De-
catur and Quincy in he viii have five
clubs. besides his own subservient 10
him and matters Will be so shaped
during the season, that. not only
will the four northern clubs get the
short end of II during the pennant
race. but they will be stripped and
left 20 shift for themselves at the
clubs taking the name and prestige
Of the Tnree-Eye.
Surely Kinsella and Tea-ney are
not deceiv-ng themselves with the
assurance that they viii be able to
get away with this. Lucky they will
be If they get a ten-club league at
ell. with FIVE towns in the north end
and FIVE in the south.
SUCH a LEAGUE UNTRIEn.
In the first place such a circuit
should be opposed because Il is not
believed to be feasible, being new
and uutried in baseball. It is very
much doubted II an equitable sched-
ule can be drawn providing for 10
clubs. The idea of putting in two
southern cities is intolerable 10 this
end OF the circuit and Cedar Rapids,
the only city that IS available in the
north, has very little time TO get
ready for the season.
Further than this. as has been said
before, the league owes Quincy
nothing. for II has not been alto
gether an innocent party in this con-
troversy, and II should look for re-
course, ~ II has any. TO the individ-
uals who illegally promised 1T
berth.
WITHDRAW INJUNCTION CASES.
Waterloo and Dubuque yesterday no
titled President Tearney that they
would withdraw at once their injunc-
ton suits. as directed by the national
commission.
A dispatch sent out from Burlington
last night discusses the matter Of re-
funding Quincys $4,000 release pay
meat TO the Central association as
follows:
The Burlington baseball directors
would oppose any refunding OF release
money paid by Quincy TO the Central
association. Burlington opposed
Quiucy's release. and It, with others,
warned President Hofer OF Quincy
that he was risEing a good deal TO
break away from the Central on the
mere promise OF berth in the Three
Eye.
The chief basis for giving Quincy
