To JOIN CIRCUIT
Interest in Newspaper League
Comes a Little Late, but
Better Than Never.

On the eve of the opening OF the
Twin-City Newspaper league series
this afternoon the Davenport newspa-
pers awakened and indicated desire
to get in on the proceedings. A meet
ing was held by the Times force and
the sum of $50 was raised to equip a
team Interest is also being taken by
the Democrat boys. The result is that
while the opening games on this side
of the river were not Cancelled pros
poets are that the organization will
be enlarged and a new schedule adopt
ed which will provide for the two
Davenport teams and will make IT
tri-city- instead of a twin-city circuit.
In the beginning the Davenport
newspapers were approached on the
subject, but both failed to warm up
to it, the Democrat because, under the
original plan it was proposed to play
Saturday afternoons, which would be
inconvenient for a newspaper issuing
Sunday morning, as the Democrat
does.
Those interested on this side of the
river will be delighted to welcome the
Davenporters as members of the cir
cult.
