Dickinson has always shown great
affection for her weeds. Al least she
has been loath to part with them. Last
year she chung to them even closer than
usual and secured more of them. She
had them as borders to her sidewalks,
catching the skirts of passers by she
grew them along fences and had a nice
parking of them on the drive to the ex-
pertinent farm she fairly reveled in the
mammoth weeds on her vacant lots.
This year she has, besides all the old
ones, a multitude Of their relatives and
progeny and there are really more than
even Dickinson knows what to do with.
With a shortage of water her flowers
droop and die and her lawns turn yell
low. But not so the weeds. 1t is whisp-
cred that her citizens are getting dis
eusted and that before July 4, each one
is going to slaughter the weeds on his
premises.

Editor Likes c. A. Ball.

There is an editor, not baseball
writer mind you, who thinks the Cen
trail association is alright and argues
that Waterloo had even better ball
while a member of the c. A. than in
the Three Eye league. Here are few
paragraphs from him which President
Justice read with favor. The editorial
is taken from the Wateroo Times
Tribune 1t follows:
The sport writer's on the papers of
the circuit are INDUCING in little fun
chat costs nothing) by reason of a
telegram sent by q wag of Waterloo
to President Justice of the Central as
ing of the Central association was to
be held. Immediately there was talk
of Waterloo trying for q berth in the
Central association Waterloo Is gen
orally chided for seeking membership
in the little league, whose salary linn
it is only $1,000 per month. The joke
was that said wag signed prominent
citizens name to the telegram.
Let it be known now that Waterloo
would not be humbling itself to accept
a berth in the Central association. We
did not know what good little league
the Central was until we had some
experience in the Three Eye. We had
more satisfactory base ball in the
Central than in the Three Eye. And
the Central has grown greatly since
our days. President Justice has also
grown and is now one of the best
league heads in this country. The
Central has got down onto a business
basis. The salaries are limited to
where the gate receipts will about pay
them--under reasonable conditions
And .liat is where base ball must be
| placed, if the smaller cities are to
continue to enjoy the sport. The
present condition of the Three Eye
league is exemplification of what is
bound to result from unbusinesslike
control
True, we belong in class above the
/ Central association, but we had better
for the future OF the sport be in q
class below than in one above G.

Does Not See How the Central Asso-
citation Clubs Can Get Security
for Bond Which Justice
Would Ask.
THE FIRST OPPOSITION
Declares, However, That In General
tho Idea Is All Right, But
Application May Not
Be Good.

Today throughout the Central asso.
citation baseball magnates are discuss
ing the latest bomb exploded by Pres
ident NJ E. Justice which is nothing
more or less. than. to require clubs
to give bond in the sum of $1,000 to
a surety company that the salary limit
will be lived Up to- First publication
was given in the Sunday morning
Gate City and since appearance of
the story the league circuit has fairly
bristled with discussion.
Here in Keokuk Secretary Louis
Sterne of the local baseball associa-
ton favors the scheme in general, but
is not of the opinion that its appli-
cation will be a success. He wants
to know who is going TO put up the
collateral and emphatically declares
that he. personally, would not give a
note in whole or part of the amount
required.
President Justice, supporting his
move, declares that If the baseball as
ISOLATION has no tangible assets that
can be put up the directors should not
hesitate in giving their note for 800
or 5000 ii their desire to enforce the
salary limit is sincere. They will
know whether the salary limit is be-
ing adhered to insofar as their own
club is concerned.
Secretary Sterne holds that it is max
ing the matter too personal. Again
he says manager may violate the
salary limit without the directors
knowing it. While this is not the
time to bring up infringements of last
season, Secretary Sterne says he
knows at least one instance Of violation
which the directors we're not aequaint-
ed with.
THE plan is ali right If the bond
can be secured" said Secretary
Sterne. For myself, however, would
not give a personal note even though
Keokuk is to live up to the salary
limit as far as we are able. What
attitude the other directors hold I do
not know"
While the matter has not been
submitted TO Central association d.
rectors yet, many of them have learn
ed of the matter through newspaper
reports. Expressions are expected
from all of the towns during the
week.
