Prospects of Landing

QUINCY, April 20.-President Har-
ry F. Hofer and Vice President John
NJ. Schoenemann of the Quincy
league baseball association returned
yesterday from Chicago, where they
fired the first shot in the battle for
Quincys rights. The shot was a
double-barrelled charge in the shape
OF an injunction which ties up the
Three-Eye for the present and per
haps for several weeks, as the Judge
has not announced yet when the court
will pass on the matter
The injunction covers eleven type
written pages of legal cap and re-
strains the Three-Eye league from
playing ball without Quincy. with a
specific charge against the four south
ern clubs restraining them from play
ing in any league that does not in
clude Quincy as a member. The
grounds for the injunction are the
written agreements made to the
Quincy association last fall that if
this city could get its release from
the Central Association, the Three
Eye league would provide a berth
for It, This claim is backed up by
! letters and affidavits. the latter be-
ing presented as evidence that
/ all Three-Eye franchises expir-
ed at the close OF the 1910 season.
4 With this evidence against them,
the defendants do not appear to have
much of show when it comes TO a
hearing.
Quincy took this step only when
forced. Every effort was made to
secure square deal and justice in
other ways. All efforts failed and
if Quincy had not taken its case in.
7 to court, the league would
have adopted an eight club schedule
leaving Quincy without baseball this
year. To sit by and let all this hap
pen would have been foolish when in
possession of evidence that Quincy
was solicited and promised league bal

victory over the Baptists BY the count

The Methodists have remarkable
record. The team has not been de-

all-star aggregation. Last year the
club went through the season in
whilrwind fashion. The first game
of the season was forfeited through
misunderstanding. and from then
on the club played winning ball until
the end
This season the club has been in
yincible. Every game has been won
by an almost Overwhelming score,
leaving little opportunity for close
comparison. The Baptists have been
the strongest rivals, but they have
been twice yanquished. The club is
a we'll balanced one, possessed of a

Ell at the midway and will have lot
to learn down around the second bag
before the season opens The young
ster does not feel at home and thus
far is not at all satisfied with himself.
1t is believed that Belt will use Pen

would be weak with a new man in the
position If Bresnahan is to be re-
tanned at second. 1t often takes sew
eral months for a second baseman and
shortstop to learn to work together
successfully, and this cannot be ac-
complished with two youngsters who
are new in their positions. For this
reason the man who beats Pennington
out of job will have to loom up
mighty good in the eyes of Pa" Belt.
To leave the infield as it now is with
