OF 81 to II. The team play If both

followed with a field and a foul bas-

thrown this half. the Augustana lads
only getting three and the high
school boys two. The half ended
with the score 10 to IN favor OF
the academy quintet.
In the second period AuEustana
started out with a rush caging three
field baskets before the high school
five could score. In this half Stem
and Bengston played magnificent ball
for the academy quintet, together
making II field baskets. The high

a big point, and are quoted as saying
so, but they were let down, neverthe-
less. Before the commission gives any
decision it will very likely look further
into the facts, and when these come
out the extent of the trick that Kin
selIa attempted to make that body
party to will become clear.
No LEAGUE NOW.
After tie meeting Tearney said
While matters OF the Three-Eye
league are in the present conditions,
we will be unable TO form a six-club
organization. but as quickly as the ma
tional commission takes its action, We
will go ahead and play ball.
"As I stated several days ago. plans
are all ready to form an exhibition
league The league can not be formed,
however. until the national commission
has settled the question of the present
status of the teams. l expect the ma
tional commission will have finished
its investigation by next Wednesday.
and am confident the six-club league
then will be authorized"
Ban Johnson, head OF the American
league and member of the national
commission, who appears to have taken
Kinsella's line of talk more seriously
than his associate, is quoted as saying
4 see no reason why the controversy
cannot be settled within a weeks time
We do not wish 10 interfere with the
work of the national association. but
the property and rights of the repre-
sentatives of the league who called up
on Chairman Hermann and myself
must be protected. In view of the fact
that there is bitter feeling existing be
tween the two factions, I believe the
formation of a separate league would
be the best plan to clear up the affair.
The southern clubs could form
league and admit Decatur and Quincy,
while the northern teams-Waterloo
Rock Island, Dubuque and Davenport
could follow the same plan and admit
Cedar Rapids and Clinton. Iowa. into
their league. So long as the present
feeling exists between the northern
and southern club owners, trouble can
not be averted. l believe it would be
best for an immediate split"
DEFENDS SEXTON
When told of the fact that the south
ern club owners said they could not get
any action from the National associq-
ton through the opposition Of Sexton,
Vice President James T. Hayes of Dav-
export said:
This is most unjust and uncalled
for criticism OF NJ. H. Sexton. Sexton
is above all the small and dirty politics
Of which the southern club owners &C
cuse him. His position as president Of
the National association. and the
Three-Eye being his home league, is
most trying Had his residence been
in one of the neighboring leagues he
would have interfered long ago"

TELL IT TO THE
NATIONAL BOARD
Instructions Given Kinsella and
Tearney by the National
Commission.
GIVE ONE SIDE OF THE CASE
After Grossly Misrepresenting Wa

The south has won another sweep

Eye league affairs. Dick Kinsela and
President Tearney are confident that
they have a. last about settled the Wa

commission. to Chicago and unwound
a tale that he probably thought would

confident was he that he had his assO-

HERE'S a TOUCHING STORY.
According 10 the Tribune il was
explained TO Messrs. Hermann and
Johnson that the southern clubs had
resented the action taken by Waterloo
and Dubuque In asking the civil courts
TO intervene: had done everything rea-
sonable in their power to bring about
a happy ending to what developed into
a bitter controversy. sought arbitra
ton of the difficulties that were met
early in the fight; requested Waterloo
10 live up TO its own written agree
ment, and the only reward for their ef-
forts was the chaotic state OF affairs
now prevalent in the ranks of the ever
warning league.
Not content with this line Of talk.
the commission was told that the ques-
tion had been submitted 70 the national
board of arbitration long ago, but that
body had refused 10 act owing 10 the

Mr.. Hermann advised them TO submit
their statements in writing and TO go

matters. II the national board refuses
TO act, then the commission will do so,
he said.
Thus were Kinsella and Tearney let

REVIEW THE CASE
Chicago Tribune in Sporting
Editorial Comments Upon
Three-Eye Imbroglio.
WATERLOO is JUSTIFIED
Appeal to Courts Violation of Ethics
of Baseball. but This Is Pc
culiar Instance,

In a sporting editorial the Sunday
Chicago Tribune refers to the Three
Eye situation as follows:
While organized baseball is careful
not to run amuck of the law and court
decisions, in fact, seeks to avoid any
test of the legality of its contracts or
decisions by civil courts, it is not on
record that any litigant ever has OBJ
tanned any material advantage by seek
ing legal redress for alleged wrongs.
So whatever the outcome OF the Three
Eye squabble, it practically is certain
that the result will be what the gov
erning powers of organized baseball
think is fair and just from the view
point of baseball equity. and not from
civil equity. When the Waterloo club
took its grievances into a civil court
instead of baseball court. il offended
baseball ethics, but with the reason
able and sane excuse that in the time
necessary to carry up the case 10 the
highest baseball tribunal the Three-Eye
league would have been reorganized
with the Iowa city out in the cold. I'm
less the national commission decides
IL has no Jurisdiction because of the
civil suit and the danger of finding
itself in contempt Of court, the dis
putants will be heard on their merits
There may be cases at times in which
organized baseball seems a stern die
tator, but il is through the agency Of
This stern dictatorship that baseball

and word twisters as any other bust
ness. has risen to it's present standing
This strongly centralized authority is
necessary and part of the game, nee
essary to procet property rights, and
70 prevent constant strife and insurre--
ton"
NOT BASEBALL QUESTION.
While the Waterloo club was willing
to appeal its case 10 the baseball courts
and would have preferred to do so, the
fact remains that the present question
before the Three-Eye is not one of base
ball ethics, but one involving a viola
ton, or an attempt 10 violate. a civil
contract. An Interpretation of the
leagues constitution was necessary.
and that was all The Kinsella faction
sought TO violate the requirement OF
the constitution that five clubs must be
represented TO give a quorum, that
two-thirds vote is necessary to GUST any
member, and that member can only
be dropped for cause and that after
hearing. How they can expect to win
on that proposition before any fair tri-
bunal is a mystery.

ben HUR"COMES
FOR THREE DAYS
Klaw & Erlanger Massive Pro
duction Is Booked at the
Illinois Theatre.
TWO HUNDRED IN THE CAST
Unusual Size of Local Stage Makes
1t Possible TO Present Big
Spectacle Here.

Rock Island Is to have a Ben Hur
season. Lew Wallace's awe-inspiring
tale of the Christ will be presented at
the Illinois theatre April IS. Il and 10.
Contracts to that effect were closed
this morning with Manager r. II. Tay-
Tor by Edward G. Cooke, general agent
for Klaw & Erlanger. owners and man
ayers of this famous piece of stage
property. Although the dates mention
ed have been held for several weeks
for Ben Hur" by Mr.. Taylor, no con-
tracts were closed. The Illinois stage
had to be inspected by Mr.. Cooke TO
make positive that it was suitable for
a proper presentment of Wallace's
great work.
The interpreting organization num-
bers about 200 persons Mr. Cooke
said This includes an orchestra OF
30 pieces, made up of men who usually
handle the grand opera performances
at the Metropolitan opera house, New
York city. and the Auditorium, Chr
cago. The Ben Hur' score. written by
Edgar Stillman Kelley. formerly pro-
fessor of music at Yale university, is
difficult and impressive and has lent a
dignity and solemnity to the spectacle
that has aided much towards its sue
cess. The orchestra is in charge of
Guenther kissewetteT, for many years
prominent in music in Berlin, Germany.
To transfer the costume equipment
from one city 10 another eight S0-foo'
baggage cars are required, while two
Arms palace stock cars are necessary
for the horses and camels used in this
spectacle.
PRODUCTION TO BE COMPLETE.
From every viewpoint Ben Hur' is
a massive undertaking and necesst-
tates the remodeling of nearly every
stage on which it is shown. For Rock
Island I want 10 say a performance
will be given that will live forever in
the memory of those fortunate in wit
Messing it. I don't know whether the
public is aware. but it is a fact. never
theless. that the stage of the Illinois
theatre is exceptionally good On it
performance win be given that will
equal in every respect the presenta-
lions given on such stages as the New
Amsterdam theatre. New York city, or
the Illinois theatre. Chicago.
The work necessary on the local
stage consists in increasing the carry
ing capacity of the rigging loft in or
der to handle the great number Of
scene drops used in the settings of The
spectacle. The width between the fl
floors will also be enlarged. while add
tonal depth to the stage will be gained
by moving the paint bridge attached TO
the rear walls Of the theatre sub
stage will be built and arranged under
the center of the main stage On il
will be set the heavy treadmills and
electrical devices used for the thrill
ing chariot race scene The race IS
run on the sub-stage. This arrangement
removes an enormous weight of seen
cry from the stage proper and permits
q rapid handling of most intricate
scenes. Patrons can rest assured that
.Klaw & Erlanger delight in putting
forth performance that will more than
fulfill expectations no matter how high
they have been set"
