OLD ASSOCIATION
is FOR BASEBALL

1t was stated today that the direc-
tors of the Rock Island Baseball as
sociation, who weathered IL years of
the storms of the ThreeEye league,
are ready to father the move locally
for the placing OF a Ieam in the pro-
posed six-club league, in response to
pressure from the fans of the city,
scores of whom, during the past
week. have communicated with the
directors and urged them to identify
themselves with the enterprise. The
directors OF the association state
that IN the event that a six-club league
is launched, they will assume the whole
financial responsibility without ask
ing the public for any contributions.
However. none of the old directors
wish TO be actively affiliated with the
direction of the club, preferring to
take in some new blood as stockhold-
ers, and allowing others than those
who have heretofore oficered the as
sociation TO be the real magnates.
Moline is red hot for the six-club
proposition, as are Cedar Rapids and
Waterloo. A meeting will be called
in this city during the coming week,
It is announced.
