TALK OF SALE WAS A BLUFF

There is no mediate prospect of the
Danville Three-Eye baseball club be-
ing transferred to Rock Island. a
Geographic inquiry by The Argus to-
day ELECTED the following message
from the head OF the Danville club:
Danville, ILL.,, May AT meet
ing of the Merchants association
yesterday Afternoon a decision was
reached by which the association
will attempt to have citizens of
Danville to guarantee US against
loss to the amount of $4,000. They
have until May to complete the
work ]. NJ. BOYLE.
1t is understood that Mr.. Boyle and
his associates are tired of bearing
alone the burden of keeping baseball
alive and they Matched the fiction that
they were on the point of selling the
club to Rock Island in order to bring
others to the rescue. They are willing
to do their share. it is said, but they
object to having the whole load on
their shoulders, and with tail end
team at that.
So far as sentiment in Rock Island
is concerned nobody can be found
who is anxious to relieve Danville of
its burden, at least while the league
prospects are as dark as they are now.

RICHMOND HIGH
IN BUILDING LIST

Building Inspector Butler yesterday
heard from the editor of Construction
News. one OF the great class publ
cations OF the country. and, accord
ingiy, was placed in very agreeable
state of mind. because the report
shows that Richmond Is among the
few cities in the country which in
creased in building during the month
of September, over the same month
of last year.
Richmond's increase was IL per
cent. In the same class were Brook
lyn, Cleveland. Springfield. Mass
Scranton. Davenport. Nashville, Chat
tanooga, Paterson and Altoona.
The cities which fell short of Sep
TENDER of last year. embrace Atlanta
Kansas City. Birmingham. Cincinnati
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
New Orleans, Pittsburg.
This Is a pretty good showing for
Richmond" commented Mr.. Butler
TT should make us proud of our stea
dy growth, despite the cry of hard
times. The outlook for the present
month is good. and l look for still
further increases"
