BASEBALL HOME
HASAPURCHASER
Announcement Made Today
That Man Will Take Over
Park for Building Lots.

Is it goodbye to the Island City base
ball lot? The fate of the scene of
many scrappy battle and wordy war
fare over the jumps abbreviated eye
sight has been sealed, from all ap-
pearances, and soon the harsh and
joyous shout of the wild eyed bugs
may give way to the prattle of baby
voices, for this hallowed ground may
soon be desecrated by turning it into
a suburban paradise.
H. Z. Casteel announced this morn
ing that a man has made him a good
offer on the entire tract with Plating.
He will take the property and cut it
up into building lots, and most of the
lumber from the grandstand and
bleachers will be used in erecting cot
tages. A determined effort to retain
the park has been made. A sugges.
ton favored was that the school dis
trict and the city jointly take the
grounds for an athletic field and a
city recreation grounds, but nothing
tangible developed and the great ma
tional game, if revived here, may be
without home.

Frank Chance. who has the doubtful
pleasure of trying to make the New
York Highianders put up some kind
of a game, is one of the most versa.
tile little guys in the sporting world.
Chances success in the baseball bust
ness has been enviable enough to ap-
pease the most finiky but his capabili-
ties are not confined to sporting with
the festive sphere. Nothing of the
kind. Besides being a very neat little
baseball manager. as is generally
agreed. Frank is also a boxer. tennis
expert and football star. II was at
the fight game that Chance won a
rather remarkable and unique record.
Back in the nineties when Frank
weighed $50 pounds. was frolicsome as
small sized cat and packed a real
hefty kick, he doped it out that he'd
rather gambol about the four-cornered
circle than eat "Oh. the pug, his life
is a gay one" sang Frank, and as a
result he had something OF a rep in
amateur circles around Frecno. Cal.
For II was in Fresno, reader, that
Frank then lived. So every once in a
while they'd match our hero against
some poor mullet who showed poor
judgment and Frank would knock SO
worth of bridgewcrk down his throat

for the bout was generally a suit Of
clothes or maybe nice new hat.
The day arrived, however, when
large rough looking person blew into
town who didn't care if everybody
knew he could fight some, too. He
weighed 220 pounds and so they made
him constable. Chances friends were
annoyed at this and let on that they
thought Chance could make the bulky
newcomer look silly. A match was
arranged At the end of the second
round Frank had hung two shanties
on as many eyes Of his opponent and
had utterly ruined one of his ears.
This made the big guy sore and in the
next round he tried to bring about
Franks demise. But he missed by a
foot or two and Frank slammed him
on the jaw for the count He was
plucky, though, and it was two hours
, before he'd admit that he was licked.
When he woke UP at the end of two
hours he told the doctor that Chance
had won the decision. Frank never
cared to fight any more after that.
Chance was a pretty neat racquet
swinger in those days too, playing
clear up to the finals in the Califor-
nis state tournament He was a ras-
cal with the pigskin as well, but seem
I'd 10 get bunged up quite a bit in the

ing one from Dubuque while the Sox
were idle, cutting the lead down to
two and a half games. We should
worry.
Inasmuch as there was nothing of
interest in the ball game line, there
was plenty of time TO listen to a tale
OF woe which seems 10 have its origin
in Springfield. II is a well known fact
that everything has not been roses
and violets for Frank Donnelly. With
IS odd directors trying 70 give the
manager instructions as to how TO run
his team, and any one Of them able to
pull the stunt better than the said
Frank. in his own estimation, there
has been a marked absence of tran
guilty. The Watch Makers have not
been prospecting financially and are
rumored TO be on the ragged edge.
Down in the capital city they have
been playing to crowds aggregating
about 10, and it is furthermore ru.
mored that the Springfield franchise
could be secured by Rock Island with
out much EFFORT.
WHERE'S THE PARKE
The bugs in this burg are getting
rather homesick for the national pas
time. but before Rock Island took
over any franchise, should this be pos
sible, there are a number of things 10
consider In the first place there is a
very strong doubt as 10 whether or
not the Island City park could be Sc
cured. The members of the old base
ball association seem to have their
hearts set on turning the field into q
flock Of city lots. and inasmuch as no
one seems 10 care about disgorSing
some 10000 kopeks, 1t looks as though
the plating noise would begin very
shortly.
Another question which arises Is.
Would Rock Island care 10 take over
team and franchise at this stage Of
the game" Subject is now open for
discussion.
NIX on TEARNEN.
Last and most important is this
phase: Does Rock Island want to
breath the same air as Al Tearney
Probably not. in fact We will make it
trife stronger and say decidedly not.
During Rock Islands iucumbency in
the Three Lamp circIit, the naughty
Chicago alderman seemed TO harbor a
lasting and maleyolent grudge against
this burg, and for this reason We hard
ly believe that Al would cop first hon
ors here in ballot for the most popu.
lar man. Rock Island would like 10
have baseball but II il has to have a
Tearrey package handed along With
II. We opins that the general senti.
ment would be thumbs down
