new LEAGUE NOW
ALMOST ASSURED
Meeting Held in Moline Last
Evening Is Productive Of
Results.
WAITING ON PLOW CITY
When Organization in Neighboring
City Is Formulated, Plans for
Circuit Will Be Complete.

Because Moline still has to perfect
an organization of a baseball club, def
mite organization of a new six-team
league was set of for another week,
and next Wednesday in the Manufac-
turers hotel in Moline another meet
ing is to be held. If all of the six cit
les are ready to go ahead, committee
consisting of Belden Hill of Cedar
Rapids, w. A. Reed of Waterloo and
NJ. H. Sexton of Rock Island is to re-
port on constitution and schedule, and
a real organization will be effected.
For enthusiasm and energy, no base
ball meeting has ever had anything
on the one held last evening in Moline.
But for the fact that one of Moline's
principal boosters was called out of
the city by urgent business, Moline
would have been ready. Other cities
say that as soon as they see everyb body
lined up, they will be on the job, line
up their own affairs, and be ready to
begin business some time before the
middle of May.
PLAY 100 GAMES.
The new league, should it materialize,
will be called the Mississippi Valley
league. 1t is the plan to play about
four months and a week, including
some 120 games in the schedule. The
announcement that Prexy A R. Tear
ney of the Three-Eye league has stated
that he will fight Rock Islands men,
bership in any league, is rather mirth-
provoking at this point, because there
is no question but what the boss of the
glimmering league has no right to do
this city is concerned. The telegram
to local promoters is causing little
worry. Davenport, the only city whose
territory is encroached upon, has al
ready forked over it's consent, and so
there is no longer cause to worry. AL
bert's telegram says that the Three
Eye league would oppose formation of
any league including Rock Island.
! READY NEXT WEEK.
Belden Hill of Cedar Rapids said
that as soon as he sees that all the
cities means business, he will jump
into the fray, secure a park, form q
team, and stick through thick and thin
Iowa City, Waterloo, Clinton and Cedar
Rapids Joined with Rock Island and
Moline in last nights meeting. Al
state that as soon as they see that the
project means the organization of {
league for baseball, not to further pri
vate interests, they will be ready
There is scarcely a doubt at presen
that the league will be organized per
manently next week, thereby forming
the nucleus for a league which shall
be on a par with the Three-Eye in it.

motion of social-athletics at 1861
Second avenue-were opened to club
members last evening at an informal
session held in the club rooms and
at which some % members Of the
association and their friends were
present. Heinie Ackmann, who has
been at the head of arrangements,
presided over the session last even
ing. 1t was the decision of the club
to organize as the Rock Island Bowl
ing club as all of the members come
from bowling leagues. A meeting for
permanent organization is scheduled
for next Wednesday evening when
officers will be elected and rules
adopted.
The organization has a suite of
four rooms, every one of which is

USE SNOW IN FIGHT
AGAINST SMALL FIRE

A new method of fighting the flames
was adopted by the fire department
at 2 o'clock this afternoon; when a
blaze on the roof of the Hayfle resi-
dence, 14O7 Second avenue, was ex-
tinguished by throwing snow on the
burning shingles. The. fire was caused
by sparks from the chimney, which
fell on the roof and burned few shin
giles. Because of the smallness of the
blaze and the great abudance of snow
in the caves, the firemen decided to OBJ
viate the task of carrying chemical
tank up a ladder and made use of

this years building budget, but If the
removal to Davenport can be accom-
plished, this sum will not be spent.
Also it is intended to spend but
$1,000 in fixing up the old freight
house this year, but Rock Island is
down on the budget for a new house
in 1914. Correspondence has passed
back and forth to the effect that
Rock Island is entitled to and should
receive as good a house as Daven-
port, but the people have been say
ing nothing and it is thought by
spending $1,000 they can put on
building a new house for some years
to come. 1t is the writer's intention
that if the committee OF the Rock
Island club is aware of this fact, il
will have something to work and de-
mand Of the Rock Island railway. OF
course, If nothing is done in the way
of a protest, the removal to Daven-
port will take place within the next
week. / see no reason why Rock
Island cannot retain what few of.

they get a modern freight house."

VIII Keep Small Arms Plant at Rock
Island Arsenal in Operation IL
Possible.

H. A. Clevenstine, president of the
Rock Island Business Mems associa-
ton. today received kilograms from
United States Senator S. NJ. Cullom
and from Representative James Nc
Kinney, assuring him and the local
business interests that they are doing
all in their power to get the house ap-
preparation bill amended so as to pro-
vide enough money to keep the small
arms plant at Rock Island arsenal in
operation. The bill has passed the
house, but it has yet to come to the
senate, and It is hoped that the senate
will add to II enough to make it accord
with the original appropriation asked
for by the war department
THE TELEGRAMs.
The two kilograms, both addressed
to Mr.. Clevenstine as president of the
Business Mems association, read as fol-
lows:

BOTH BRICK AND
BLOCK To BEUSED
One Material Between First and
Fourth Avenues and An
other South.
ON TWENTIETH STREET
Drainage to Be Turned Toward the
West at Tenth-PeopIe Are
Satisfied.

Twentieth street from First to
Fourth avenue, is to be paved with Gre
osote wood block, and from Fourth
avenue south to Seventh with brick,
according to a resolution adopted by
the board of local improvements this
morning when representative property
used in the improvement. Mayor II. NJ.
Schriver, alone. voted against such a
move, saying that the city could not
afford to pay the high price for wood
block fronting between Second and
Third avenues. And so wood block is
to be tested in Rock Island If it
stands the test in this instance, there
can be no doubt Of its durability, for
Twentieth street along the line of the
proposed improvement, is traversed by
hundreds Of wagons daily, most OF
them heavily loaded. The people want
such improvement, the city is to give
it to them, apparently, and should the
wood block fail, the owners will have
no one but themselves to blame.
PEOPLE SEEM SATISFIED.
AS for the brick along the remainder
of the thoroughfare, as long as the
people desire it as the least expensive
material for improvement, the city will
endeavor to crafty their desire. The
movement for the two kinds Of pave
ment knocks any plans for uniform
pavement in the head, for already Sec
ond avenue has selected asphalt. Sc
long as the improvements are made
and the people who are obliged to foo
the bills are satisfied, no one can have
any objection. The necessary ordi
nances will be prepared for the coun
ellis consideration at once.
SETTLE DRAINAGE PROPOSITION.
The drainage proposition has beer
settled in accord with the desires o
the owners of property, and at Tent
avenue, drainage is to be turned west
ward. The part which is to be improv
ed will care for its own drainage.
There were some who were for car
rying out the improvement through pr
vate contract, but such an arrange
ment was tabooed.
The anticipated petition favorabl
to the abandoning of the asphalt pave
ment material on Second avenue an
the substituting of wood blocks di
not materialize.

milwaukee REFUSES
INTERURBAN SERVICE

The Milwaukee road has refused the
request of the Moline merchants for
interurban train service out of that
city. General Manager Bush at con.
ference held in Chicago today cited
earning figures to show that the pres
ent service was paying only some 5000
a month and If extra interurban trains
were put on it would have to be done
at loss. 1t was announced, however
that the present train schedule would
be changed so as to furnish better ac
commodations for getting into and out
OF Moline.

Vice President Ridgeway of the
Rock Island on Contem-
plated Removal.
DAVENPORT GETS BUSY
informed That Division Offices Are
Lost, Makes Plea TO Take Accom-
modatiOns From This City.

A. c. Ridgeway, second vice presi-
dent OF the Rock Island road, today
gave TO a committee of the Rock Is
land club, composed of Mayor H. NJ.
Schriver and President II. E. Casteel
and b. ID. Connolly, assurances that
the road would give this city a hear
Ing before any removal of division
headquarters from this city was Or
dered. This assurance was the best
ne would make as he said the matter
was more directly up to F. J. Easley,
superintendent of the first district.
Mr.. Ridgeway lunched in Daven-
pert today as the guest of the Com
mercial club. The reason for the
conference was not made public but
Is supposed to have had a bearing on
the removal of the district superin-
tendents Office from Davenport to
Des Moines and possibly the attempt
ed taking of the Illinois division Of
noes from Rock Island and putting
them in Davenport. Davenport does
not wish this removal to occur, but
Mr.. Ridgeway informed the Daven-
port committee that the change had
been decided upon and would take
Place April l. The Davenport COM
mittee tbereupon asked Mr.. Ridge
way to move the Rock Island division
headquarters from Rick Island TO
Davenport. This Mr.. Ridgeway said
had not yet been decided upon.
On learning that Mr.. Ridgeway
was in Davenport, Rock Islanders got
busy and the three above mentioned
got into telephone communication
with the road official. The assurance
while not satisfactory in any way, al
least precludes the arbitrary removal
OF the division headquarters without
giving this city a chance to protest.
