WRONG REPORTS GIVEN OUT.
Waterloo has won at practically
every turn in the road since the
fight TO drop the city was started,
but one would never draw that con-
clusion from anything Tearney has
given out TO the Chicago newspa-
pers. Tearney has all along been
handing il out that he and Kinsella
ern clubs had no right TO oppose
their wishes. Furthermore. the
northern clubs. to hear him tell it,
are the ones who are trying to rule
or ruin" the league. in merely in
sisting that il requires a majority to
legally change the circuit. Under
the constitution and the ordinary
rules of parliamentary procedure the
motion TO drop Waterloo was lost
when but four clubs voted for it and
that is all there was to- it.
The present experience ought TO
convince the Three-Eye that Chicago
is no place 10 go to get president.
