TEARNEY AND HIS FACTION IN
CONTEMPT OF BASEBALL COURTS

The Sporting News published at st.
Louis this week say of the Three-Eye
trouble:
The breach in the Three Eye
league-at first a big stir in a small
puddle-widens. 1t is not now be
tween two factions of the league over
the ousting of Waterloo, but between
the president of the league, backed by
one faction. and the national board OF
tht national association. The national
al board, after awaiting patiently, in
an aggrevating situation. an appeal
for its arbitment, decided in favor of
Waterloo its opinion following very
closely the lines of Judge Gridley in
the civil courts. though Waterloo waiv-
ed any claims it might have under the
court decision. Whereupon President
Tearney of the league. who stands in
the position. evidently. of being
aligned with a faction OF his Organiza-

ton, announces an appeal TO the ma
tional commission as the supreme
court of baseball. This is within the
right of the litigants-an appeal, but
what will members of the national
commission say to parties coming be
fore them with this declaration, which
is credited to President Tearney in
the news dispatches:
&" Before Farrelrs decision was
made public tonight, l knew what to
expect. The decision was framed
and l certainly will appeal to the ma.
ticnal commission for immediate ac
ton.
" When NJ. H Sexton, president OF
the National Association of Profes
sional Baseball Leagues, took a hand
in the matter, l knew what results TO
expect. For 10 years he has bitterly
opposed President Kinsella of the
Springfield club and fought every plan
fostered by him.
I have been assured that the ma
uonal commission will take favorable
action in the matter and I am conf
dent the commission will grant the
southern clubs the right TO form a six
club league
Recognition of the authority Of the
constituted courts of baseball pre-
sumes a respect for their decisions,
even though views may differ: credit
for honesty is due, at least, as be-
tween man and man. When Waterloo
took its case beyond those courts to
the civil authorities, IL Justly laid IT,
self open TO criticism from the stand
point Of baseball, but the offense of
Waterloo was as nothing compared
with this astounding declaration from
the authority he has so Loudly pro-
claimed as one he recognized. He re-
sorts 70 the slang Of the gambler in
his stoop TO cast reflections upon the
national board; he accuses the head
of the national association OF permit
ting an alleged personal feeling to In
fuence his acts. Furthermore. he
makes q statement that is equivalent
10 one that the national commission
has already prejudged the case; he
has been assured that the national
commission will take favorable ac-
ton" Mr.. Teerney and his faction
have put themselves in position.
therefore, where they cannot enter
bssebslPs high court with clean skirts;
appeal in such circumstances would be
presum ption; they lie under a charge
Of most grievous contempt that can

HITCHCOCK TONIGHT,

Tonight Raymond Hitchcock will ap-

George NJ. Cohan's musical play,
The Man Who Owns Broadway -
Unlike most such comedians, Hitch
cock is an actor. He creates char
acter, touches it with his own fan
tastic humor and draws it before
our eyes with the sure stroke of a
master. While Mr.. Cohan in his
triple role of librettist, composer
and producer. has done some of his
happiest work in this impudent
comedy, yet the great success is not
all his. The laurels must be be-
slowed upon Mr.. Hitchcock, also it
owes some of it's value TO the CO.
median's clever wife. Flora Zabelle.
Others in the cast are Mildred
Elaine, Leila Rhodes. Gertrude
Webster. Mark Sullivan, John Hen

Taber There is also a large chorus
that has been trained to the minute
and a group of dancers of the Co
hanesque type. Cohan has taken
