Plan New League.

Keokuk baseball fans are busy ar.
ranging for baseball this summer. The
la est plan to evolve from their city
is that of the Illinois league" an eight
team circuit, playing independent base
ball. The plan as applied to Rock Is
land and Moline is impossible, as
President Tearney of the Three-I
league will not permit Central asso-
citation franchise here, and it is not
probable that an independent organi-
cation would be boosted.
Moline Favors Central.
In spite of the fact that President
Tearney of the Three-I league has in
former President Justice of the Cent
raj association that the former circuit
will not waive claim on Moline as
Three-I territory, under the fve-mile
limit, it is possible that an effort will
be made to land berth in the smaller
fore the Greater Moline committee at
its next meeting.
Moline has been frequently men,
toned as a promising field for pro-
fessional baseball, and several efforts
have been made to get into some
league. Since Monmouth and Kewa-
nee dropped out OF the Central last
week the local situation has been once
more canvassed at the suggestion of
outsiders and it is found that there is
a strong sentiment in favor of taking
up the national game, provided it can
be done at reasonable. cost and without
such delays as will prevent making a
good start the first season. 1t is be-
Iieved that if the matter is put up to
the Three-I league at a general meet
ing and the situation fully explained

SPORTING COMMENT

War is an event, as a general rule.
bat it is getting to be habit in major
league baseball. And what is war? We
don't know. but General Sherman did;
at any rate he described it as follows:
War is''-anyhow, fellows, those Fed
erals are some warriors, now, aren't
they?
But, speaking of war. and coming
right down to the point, you know they
say that more vessels must be built, a
larger army maintained, etc, etc, and
then we will have less war. How
plausible, Why not make more box
ing gloves, and then we will have less
boxing.
Our own little frankie Sinnet, alias
Young Sinnet, sure did show the
champ some classy work, Ell? Well
wager 10 cents that Sinnet could hand
the Chicago boy a neat little lacing in
about 30 rounds. If we had more of
that ticklish mazuma stuff we'd also
lay that on the local kid, but who has
ever seen a scribe flash a roll?
We always did like Mr.. Carr of the
Inter-Ocean, anyhow.

friend, Johnny Coulon, but merely let
