WILSON BERINC
TALKS BASEBALL
Decatur Magnate in City Yes
terday Says Rock Island
Can Have Franchise.

1t is a practical certainty that Rock
Island Will have a berth in the Three-I
league when the spring of 1914 rolls
around. The authority for the above
statement is Mr.. Wilson Boring, post
master at Decatur, creator of Three
Eye schedules and all around base
ball mogul. The Decatur notable was
in Rock Island yesterday, and natur-
ally the talk drifted baseballward.
There will unquestionably be a big
shake up in the Three-I circuit next
year." said Mr.. Boring. Il believe
that there will be a number of new
faces there when the roll is called
Things have not been going well in a
number of cities comprising the league
this season. A number of them have
fallen far below the attendance re-
quirements, and some have already de-
clared themselves as out of it. What
about Rock Islands chances? | can
confidently state that if Rock Island
wants a berth 1t will be given one.
In fact, your city will be received with
open arms"
From present indications this city
will have a choice of three or four
franchises. Springfield is dead one"
Danville is way below in attendance,
as are Decatur and Dubuque. Rock
ford has already made a bid for the
Spring field vacancy, and it is time that
Rock Island get busy" In order to
insure baseball here next season, it
is absolutely necessary that the Island
City park be preserved. The coming
election will decide once and for all
whether or not Rock Island is again
to appear on the baseball map or is to
drop into everlasting oblivion, as re-
CARDS the national pastime.
The fans are anxious and eager for
baseball after a two-year vacation per-
iod. One of the real boosters for base-
ball in Rock Islard is Jack Tighe,
who piloted the Islanders to a pair of
remnants. He is Strong" for the

so abundant was the moisture that
the groundkeeper will find It was nee

during the remainder OF the 1913 sea-

The lowly Pretzels simply could not
help hitting and they chased around
the base lines like a flock of sheep.
Two home runs, three triples, a double
and 16 singles was the extent of the

Mike Cam, the southpaw finger, who

homer were gathered from his select

PEORIA WANTS A
new DEAL IN 1914
Journal Pleads for Coopera

Past Season.

The year has been a dismal failure
the worst failure in years. Start
ing with unparalleled enthusiasm
great predictions were made. At the
head of the club was a man, who as
president, had made baseball a big
success in Peoria. At the head of
the team was a man whose record in
dictated that he would do great things
on the playing field, says the Peoria
Journal.
Both fell down!
The team manager could not play
ThreeI baseball, nor did he have that
trait of character to make him a lead
er of his men. He was let out.
The club president showed every
bit of his old time ability by making
Lakeview park, really pleasant place
in which to enjoy a ball game and
by looking after the interests of the
game and the fans-a fact proven by
the attendance record of nearly $4,000
but the clubs chances were wrecked
when Barry Mccormick was let out
as he was, when chicanery took the
place of business-like negotiations; and
it was out of the frying pan into the
fire when Fountain was made cap
tain.
The Wreckage was scattered broad
cast when, because of the Mccormick
deal, there arose chaos among the
sport writer's that has had as much
to do with the humiliation of the
teams success as anything else this
year.
The umpires have been the worst
that have oficiated in this league in
years.
Fights among the directors have
been rehashed for the publics edit
cation and delight.
All in all, everything has worked to
the disadvantage of the success of os;'
club this year.
IN spite of this, President Meidroth
will be able to show that the year has
not been a failure, financially and
while there may not be a balance On
the right side of the ledger, the def
cit will be the smallest in years, and
will be due, primarily, to the fact that
until a few days before the season
opened, the park was under four feet
.of water, preventing any exhibition
games to provide funds for the train.

succession following. Heine said
something to the umpire, then the
umpire and Evers jumped on Heine
simultaneously. Heine was put out OF
the game, which permitted him to go
into the cool clubhouse and have

manager had to toll in the sweltering
sun for the balance of the game.
For some time it wasn't known

Heine the discharge signal first. LatA

after which Evers added a lot of sun

both with such remarkable force that
the crowd had a lot of unexpected fun. {
From the press oven on the roof it
looked like Heine, Evers and the UNI I;

Heine was running out a ground balE

QUINCY WINS RAG
IN THE THREE-EYE

By trimming Dubuque yesterday,
Nick Kahrs Quincy Colts practically
cinched the 1913 pennant. All they
needed was to cop one game from
the Dubs. BY yesterdays victory,
Quincy is six and half games ahead
of Dubuque, with only six more
games to play. If the forfeit is taken
from Quincy's lost column, Quincy will
be seven games TO the good, but the
proposition will remain the same, the
only difference being that Quincy viii
finish a half game higher than if the
forfeit remained. BY winning yester-
day, Dubuque chances of finishing on
top were practically eliminated AL
though yesterdays victory practically
settled the race, Quincy has not won
the pennant. However, it would be
a new record for the Quincy team to
lose seven straight Even during the
first five weeks, when the team was
anchored at the bottom, four in q
row was the worst the team had to
show. This is Phil Appels dope and
