there must be retrenchment along
many lines and the reorganization into
a compact circuit or circuits would be
the first step toward reduction The
local owners do not care 10 go further
south than Peoria and maintain that a
strong league could be formed with
Davenport and Rock Island as the nu-
cleus.
GOODBYE TEARNEY.
In event that the Three-Eye does
continue as at present, and there is lit
tie probability that it shall, President
Tearney will undoubtedly step down
and out from the pedestal on which
he has been enthroned for two years
and man who will look out for the
interests Of the league will be placed
at the helm. That is the consensus OF
opinion over the league except posi-
bly, in one or two cities. One of those
cities fell far short Of the attendance
this season and in case the league con-
tinues, will have no voice in the af-
fairs unless granted new lease of
life. Richard F. Kinsella is the own
er of the team which played to the
small crowds and as he has avowed
time and again during the season that
he had finished with baseball, every
one is hoping that he is sincere in his
statement. He has gone SO far, it Is
said, to dispose of every bit of para
phernalia that he owned in baseball
and it is a well known fact that he has
sold practically every player who
would bring in few shekels.
WANT NO CONTROVERSY.
1t is hardly probable that the direc-
tors of the league will become involv-
ed in a long controversy such as was
experienced last year, though there
probably is more reason for it than
last. The conditions are much worse
this year than formerly, but it is ex-
pected that there will be more harmon
ious action in all matters.

in the schedule.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-10-06

The Cub-Sox series for the Chicago
championship will start Oct. IS, week
from today. This was decided upon
yesterday at a meeting of the parties
concerned at the Chicago Automobile
CLUB, President Comiskey and Secre-
tary Gardiner representing the south
side, while President Murphy, Mana
ger Chance and Secretary Thomas
handled the Cubs end of the business
The first of the tussles will be waged
on the south side grounds. Comiskey
drew the choice in the flip of the coin,
the Cub boss calling heads and losing
out when tails turned up. This gives
the Sox aggregation the jump by going
into the initial combat on their home
grounds and despite the link day"
which will be Friday, Oct. 10, Comis
key is confident that the winning of
the toss means eventual victory in the
title play. There was no dispute or
argument over the starting time. If
possible an earlier date than Oct. -
would have been picked out, but the
refusal of the Cincinnati club to move
ahead the game scheduled between
subs and reds on Oct. u prevented
this. The dates should be of little
account, however, as the weather
should be as good if not better toward
the middle of the month. Following
the playing of the opening battle the
games will alternate, which will bring
the second battle to the west side on
Saturday, the third to the south side
on Sunday and so on

ball Club Officially Express
Desire to Quit.
HAVE NO OFFERS YET
But Hope That Another Set of Men
VIII Take Hold of the Rock
Island Franchise.

After accepting the report Of Treas
urer l. NJ. Casteel, the Rock Island
baseball club last night decided to de-
lay further action in any matter per-
tanning to local affairs TIL after the
annual fall meeting Of the league
which is to be held in Chicago next
week, according to the latest word
from President Al r. Tearney. H. E
Casteel was delegated 10 attend the
meeting and was instructed to favor
the resolution providing for the disso-
luton OF the Three-Eye league as it
was passed last spring when the Wa
terloo-Qufncy controversy came to a
close.
DETERMINED TO QUIT.
As yet the Rock Island club has re-
ceived no offers for it's holdings,
though the stockholders have announc-
ed their intention of disposing OF the
club to other men. Directors of the
club at the meetin24ast night discuss
ed matters with infinite thoroughness
and the majority seem to be in favor
of quitting baseball and leaving others
take hold. The remainder are willing
to retain their shares and TO fight
to the finish for baseball in Rock Is
land.
MAKE UP A DEFICIT.
Naturally the northern towns favor
reorganization in the north while the
southern towns favor reorganization IN
the south. The saving in mileage
alone would then be sufficient to al
low the club owners to at least break
even. The club owners, despite the
fact that assistance was rendered by
the fans, were obliged to reach down
into their pockets last night and pro
duce enough money TO make up
deficit. The owners are certain that

The true value Of system Of high
ways to the state depends upon many
conditions. among which may be cited
continuity. thus providing for the re-
quirements OF transportation over dis
tances greater than can he economical
ly traversed on inferior and sometimes
nearly impossible roads: hardness and
smoothness Of surface with easy
grades. permitting a reduction In the
cost of haul. and an administration
that will furnish an economical and
judicious expenditure Of the funds
used In construction and maintenance.

Minnesota. 1t has been shown that
95 per cent OF all products carried by
rail or steamship must first be trans
ported over the primary roads OF the
country. and II IL therefore to these.

time are the common earth roads. that

The subject of road building on

then resolves itself into hut three parts
first. sufficient engineering skill to

ways: second. competent supervision
in construction. and. third. money to
