PARKER TELLS or TACTICS.

s. F. Parker, vice president of
the Rock Island association, return
ed from Chicago this morning. He
confirms the press reports telling of
the unfairness with which Waterloo
was treated by President Tearney.
He says there were but four clubs
present when the vote to GUST was
taken. thereby clearly violating the
league constitution. which provides
that a majority of the clubs must be
present in meetings to give a quorum.
President Tearney, he says, took an
attitude all the way through that
was simply astounding. AS presid
ing officer he disregarded every rule
and principle of parliamentary law
and repeatedly declared motions out
of order simply because they did not
meet with the approval of Kinsella.
Attorneys for the Dubuque and Wa
terloo clubs called attention to all
these instances that require that the
presidents rulings be noted and TAX
en- down in shorthand. This indi-
Gates, as Mr.. Parker believes, that
if the Kinsella crowd persist in their
course there will be warfare thu:
will last through the coming season.
SEXTON TALKS OF FIGHT.

cIined to enter into any detailed dis

had given rise TO the present conditions.
to uphold the stand taken by the north
ern clubs and to declare that the
southern clubs clearly violated the
of the league and he did
not believe that they would have any
standing in the courts or In baseball
law.
He stated further that unless the
southern clubs receded from their
position and if the Waterloo and Du-
buque clubs were forced to litigation
for their rights TO the point IT might
involve every cent of money taken
in at the gates throughout the league
during the coming season.

RHEUMATISM

TEE ONLY PERMANENT CURE

No case of Rheumatism was ever
cured except by a thorough purifca-
ton of the blood just as long as the
blood remains charged with ferment-
ing uric acid poison, the painful dis
ease will continue. The pains and
aches of Rheumatism are simply su-
perfcial effects of the impurities in
the circulation, and sometimes may
be temporarily relieved by the appli-
cation of plasters, liniments, hot
cloths, etc. But the person who trifles
with this dangerous disease by de-
pending on local treatment alone, is
certain to pay for the mistake with
constant suffering later on. S. S. S.

When the aeroplane was brought out
at noon and fioated on the shallow
water between Coronado and North
