Waterloo would Join a new league
with Rock Island providing the L.
landers voted to forfeit their Three

mediately wired that Waterloo was
anxious and willing to assist in the
forming of a new circuit. The Rock
Island stockholders then voted unan.
imously to surrender their franchise
and in an official communication &c

BOWLING NOTES.

~ W A@AANO 4NOAGSs
Lefty" Hampton and Art Salzmann
had a close race for honors last night.
resulting in favor of the sidewheel
finger by one pin. He bumped the
pins for a total of 574.
Each Independent except one little
fellow rolled more than 500. Hamp-
ton was the team leader all the way
through.
As was exclusively" predicted last
week, Louis Harms is gradually speed
ing them up and is increasing his
scores each week. Due to the good.
ness OF Dame Fortune, he got in the
game last night when he was slated
for the sidelines. He managed to Sc
cure AGA pins in the three games.
DR.. Soule was in better trim last
night than last week and secured 564
pins.
Illusions luck was with him last
night and he knocked down $50 pins.
Take a glance at the first game of
the Colts. Salzmann 222 and each OF
the others tagging behind with less
than $50 They picked up in the next
two games though and won. Salz.
mann was the only one TO go over
the 500 mark. Last week they were
all up there
William Stark was the best Pretzel
last night with 529. Hueckstedt took
rest in one game and then came
back with PIP.
Those appeared in the lineup OF the
davenport team. He only rolled two
games.

ing will be held Of the baseball direc-
tors and plans made to go ahead with
the organization OF the new league.
1t is possible that Dubuque and Dav-
export may be induced to cast their
lot with Waterloo and Rock Island
but so far nothing definite on this has
been given out by the baseball men
in either city. Winona, Mimi, ana
Lacrosse, Wis, are two cities also
mentioned as being likely candidates
for places.
NINE CITIES AVAILABLE.
Presenting that Dubuque and Dav-
export decide to withdraw from the
Three-Eye and Join the new league
nine cities are available which with
their population are as follows:
Davenport, 43,O2s; Dubuque. 49,
494; Cedar Rapids, 32.S11; La
Crosse, 3O,417; Waterloo, 26.693;
Clinton, 25.577; Rock Island, "a
335; Moline, 24.1s9. and winona,
1883. A league formed Of eight
| of these towns would easily have
| sufficient population to be given a
class &C" rating and the salaries
need not be so excessive as to wreck
the circuit. Waterloo men are now
working on the formation Of such
an organization in conjunction with
baseball men in other cities and ex
pect that the spring Of 1912 will see
the starting of a new league free Of
the bossism of the Tearney-Kinsells
crowd.
