league controversy into the courts,
the legality of this provision would
probably be tested and likely there
would be another Injunction.
Accounts of the decision of Judge
cago papers plainly show the lean
ings of the source of the information
TO which the baseball writer's ap-
piled. President Tearney is declar-
ed to be in high spirits over the out
come of the case and is even quoted
as saying that Waterloo will be rul-
ed out and that Dubuque will be
compelled to follow. This indicates
an intention, in the event of tie,
to gavel the change through. and il
also makes it certain, in view of the
position Dubuque has taken, that
there will be further litigation. The
Dubuque directors have maintained
all along that they will resist bitter
ly any attempt 10 throw them out,
and it is scarcely conceivable that
they will voluntarily quit now.
WHERE Is TEARNEY.
President Tearney left Chicago
last night for South Bend, and an

or two he would call a meeting of
the league for either next Monday
or one week from that date. No
body here would be surprised if
Dickey Kinsella of Springfield should
happen to be at South Bend" about
the same time. In fact, it is prob
abb that Tearney, Hayes and the
southern magnateS are in session to-
day at Peoria or some other conven-
lent point where the newspapers can
be depended upon to overlook their
presence.
TELEGRAM ANSWERED..
In answer to a telegram of inquiry
sent to him today by President w.
H Reck of the local association Pres
ident Tearney stated that the post
poned meeting of the Three-Eye
league would be held within 10 days. /
probably during the middle of the
coming week. Upon learning the I
decision of the court which heard the
arguments on the Injunction sought
by Waterloo to prevent the southern /
end of the league from dropping that ,
city from the circuit, ii was expected |
locally that President Tearney would |
at once summon the league delegates /
to Chicago to attend to the business I.
of the circuit and to get things NOV
ing for the coming year. No word /
had come this morning, however, so /
President Reck telegraphed for in
formation.
NOW WHAT'S WHAT:
Local directors are reticent as to
the effect of the court ruling. Senti-
ment here is divided. Some feel
hat in appealing to the courts Wa
erloo violated it's agreement and is
10 longer deserving of membership
n the league. Then, too. it is felt
hat Rock Islands interests are with
he Three-Eye league as whole and
rot with Waterloo. The sentiment
IF another faction is 10 stick with
Waterloo until the bitter end. even
hough it results in the breaking up
II the league and the formation of
new one in the north end. thus ;
the troublesome south
,rners.
TO DECIDE POLICY.
The Rock Island directors viii !
lOld a meeting in the course of the
lext week and the policy of the To-
al club will be determined insofar
IS it relates TO the oUsting or the re-
ention of Waterloo. Although diff
ering somewhat in their opinion as
o Waterloo. the directors are har-
noniously inclined. and whatever is
he feeling and the wish of the ma
ority will speedily become the de-
ire of the club as a whole.
