Majority Of Seven Cities
Favor Retaining Pioneer
OF the Circuit.
TEARNEY WITH US, TOO
Decatur Sends Strong Delega-
tion to Chicago Meeting in
Effort to Land Berth.
Especial to The Argus.)


Chicago, Feb. 27.-The selection
Of the eighth Three-Eye league city,
the adoption of the 1912 schedule.
the attendance guarantee and the
adoption of bylaw revisions fixing a
penalty for violation of the salary
limit, were matters scheduled for
consideration by the league this af-
ternoon at the session postponed
from IL o'clock this morning to ac-
commodate delegates from Danvtlla
and Peoria.
Rock Island is the apparent
choice of the majority of clubs, Dav-
export, Peoria, Dubuque and Quincy
having given expression in favor of
the Island city. Bloomington and
Danville are non-commital, saying
they will await submission of sta
tistics by Decatur and Rock Island.
TEARNEY FOR ROCK ISLAND.
President A. r. Tearney is for
Rock Island. Two schedules, one for
three swings around the circuit and
the. other for four, were ready for
presentation. Sentiment prevails in
favor Of the latter. The matter of
$50 guarantee per game will be pre-
sented. The ever important salary
limit question again presents itself.
Clubs favor a penalty either OF the
loss of a game or money for viola
| tion of the rules. The president is
to have the power to pass Judgment
if violation is proven.
DECATUR SHOWS STRONG.
Decatur, still determined to fight
for a franchise, is represented by
seven prominent men. They are VIII
son Behring, Virg Sanders, Harry
Oldham, M. L. Harry, ]. A. Corbett,

KINSELLA OUT OF 1T.
Kinsella is done with Three-Eye
baseball and proudly exhibits his big
league contract to show for 1t. He
Is here merely to aid Allen in d.
recting Springfield's interest.
Springfield has organized a stock
company of $50 members and $4,000
has been subscribed. The Danville

in the new organization there.

SENTIMENT EVENLY DIVIDED.


Chicago, Feb. 27.-Either Rock
Island or Decatur will be the eighth
city in the Three-Eye league the
coming season. This became appar-
ent at the meeting here today. An
nouncement was made that SPRING
field interests had arranged - pur-
chase the holdings of Richard F.
Kinsella in that city. Seven Decatur
representatives at the meeting an
nounced that plenty of money had
been insured to carry team through
the season. Rock Island delegates
said they could raise $1,000 with
which to guarantee the franchise
would not again be forfeited. Senti-
ment among various owners appear
ed to be evenly divided on the two
cities.

Review is a
 Little Impatient

Our neishbor. the Bisbee Review is out with sn editorial comment on the useiessness of the Hereford bridge, oc- cssioned by . recent washout, and thinks the supervisors remiss in their duty because came is not repaired and open to traffic.
 The Review is apduly alarmed.
 The Hereford bridge has long been . bridge of sighs" to the supervisors and rosdmen. likewise . heavy e1-
 pense on the county funds. This bridge has the distinction Of having longer approaches than the bridge itself, due to the devious course of the raging San Pedro, which has left the bridge proper spanning only . part of the river and sppros ches added from tine to time. Competent bridge men have investigated the work since the last wsshout and condemned same
 Estims stes of repair, ct this time when the river is up, is decidedly expensive and repairs can only be regarded ss temporary and unsatisisctory.
 The abandon ment of the bridge may or may not be contemplated but work on same is necessarily deferred ct least . month, until the river would permit the placing of concrete piere and tagging with rock bulkheads and ssme made permanent. Mesnsh,le . road crossing nearby has been been built for travel and if the river is % high that crossing cannot te effected by teams or autos, why, it csn Dc blamed on the tariff or high price of living.
 The matte. of br,dSes bring. forcibly to mind the effort to have | several bridges span tbe San Pedro 1 las, fall, but tbe voters. especially oi Bisbee. overwhelmingly voted it down and the remaining Cochisites must still cross the river and take chances as of yore. The Review should not be too impatient and at least give the supervisors . chance. -->- '
