RERA[D SAYS /. A.
MAY PASS TO FEDS
Chicago Paper Which Is Trying g
Bring About Peace, Quotes
Views Of President
Justice.
INTEREST OF MINORS
Believes Recognition Of the Federal
League Would be Of Great A.
sistanee to Struggling
Minors.

That the Central association and
the Northern league are near the part
ing of the ways with organized base
ball unless the governing bodies see
fit to make peace with the Federal
league, is the statement contained in
an article published today in the Chi
cago Herald, written by its sporting
editor. H. D Johnson, who is attempt
ing to bring about peace between the
warning factions.
Johnson quotes President NJ f. JUS
tice as authority for the statement
that the Central association is plan
ming to champion the cause OF the
Federals. Similar views are credited
to John Burmeister, president of the
Northern league Recently the Her
aid has carried stories in which Judge
Kavanaugh, Zip O'Neil, Al Tearney
and Louie Hielbroner. all influential
men in minor league circles, were
credited with expressing practically
the same views held by Mr.. Justice.
The Herald says in part: "Presi-
dent Justice, who is an officer OF the
national board OF arbitration, asserts
that the minors suffered heavy losses
this season owing to the falling off In
drafts heretofore fled by the higher
leagues, and he attributes this slump
to the fact that the big fellows have
laid off, fearing the Federals would
snap up the future greats of the ball
field. To Justices way of thinking
the recognition Of the outlaw organiza-
ton will be of great benefit to the
clubs Of A, B. c. and D classification
In putting the draft back on its old
working basis"
These Views have been freely ex-
pressed by Mr. Justice before. He
holds the opinion that recognition
of the Federal league would be OF
great assistance to the minor since
1t would furnish even a great field
than has ever before been known for
the sale and draft Of promising young
players. He thinks that It would re-
suit in reduction of the enormous
salaries that are now being paid play
ers in the major leagues, but that
more men would be employed in
these organizations.

FILLING OF GAP IS
PROBLEM FOR EGAN
Museatinc Scribe Worries over What
Egan Will do to Replace
Could and Brennan.

MUSCATINE, Iowa, Oct. 29.-The
drafting of Gould by Davenport and
.he signing Of Waterloo contract by
Eddie Brennan means considerable
extra endeavor on the part OF Man
ager Ned Egan of the Muskies and
adds interest to the national associa-
ton meeting to be held at Omaha next
month. Egan will represent the Mus
catfne Baseball association at the
minor league magnates' gathering and
it is probable that he will spend q
portion of his time dickering for men
to fill the gap left in the battery de
artment Of the Muskfes.
Whether Egan's claims against
the Galesburg club will result in the
Il rning over to him of some of the
Wanderers players, is question
which will have considerable bearips
on the personnel of the 1915 Musk

HERE THIS WEEK
High School Football Teams viii
Clash Here Saturday in Big
Game on Local
Schedule.
EXPECT a HARD FIGHT
Locals Have Little Hope Of Winning
But Expect to Put up Stiff
Argument Before
Losing.

One of the biggest games on the
schedule of the high school football
team will be played here Saturday
with the Burlington team, one of the
strongest in this part of the state.
Favorable weather has been of ma
terial assistance to the local eleven
in preparing for this fray.
The Purple and White entertains
small hope of winning here Satur-
day. but they expect to be able to
put up stiff game and will fight
all the way. Great attention to de-
fensiye tactics has been given to the
squad during practice this week with
view to holding the Burlington
team to as low score as possible
when they play here Saturday.
The Burlington team has been very
successful so far this season, having
lost but one game. Their team is
largely made UP of experienced men
in contrast to the Keokuk team which
is composed mostly of green ma
terial The confidence of the Burling-
ton team is reflected in the follow
ing article taken from the Burlington
Gazette:

The Mileage Bill.

The last Legislature. after enacting
the public utilities bill, passed a bill
providing for the sale of mileage books
containing 500-miles at the same rate
per mile charged for 1000 mile books"
There was nothing in the bill referring
to the PRICE per mile to be charged,
and had it become law railroads
would still have been left free to
charge two, three. five or ten cents per
quirement being that they sell 500 mile
books at the same rate as the 1000
mile book. The bill was worthless and
Governor Haines vetoed it. An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made to pass it
over the governors veto.
During the closing days of the legis-
lative session, in defiance of the rule
Of the Legislature against introducing
a question the second time, another
bill with slight change in the title
but otherwise identical in language,
was passed and sent TO the governor
for his approval Instead of again
vetoing the bill, the Governor held it
without his approval and it will au-
tomatically become law on the third
day of the next legislative session. If
the bill had been approved by Govern
or Eaines it would have been ineffect-
ual, because the railroads have discon-
tinued the sale of 1000 mile books. a
course they would have been free to
follow had the bill become law.

The - Sentiners argument above
quoted, against enforcing the penalties
for defying decency and disturbing the
peace of communities, may be a good
one for license but we rather expect
intelligent people to agree with us
that the Casco incident is a powerful
appeal for enforcement of law, rather
than an attempt to encourage such
vicious business.

Editorial Comment.
Advises Boys to Fish.

Captain Sylvanus Smith of Gloucester,
one of the old-time fishermen. re-
spected citizen who has kept young be-
cause of his optimistic temperament, and
love for things wholesome and natural,
advises young men to become fishermen.
Despite the modern methods of fishing
which many claim are depicting the
fisheries. Captain Smith believes the
business still offers splendid opportuni-
ties for the young man who is willing
to keep away from bad habits and t.
work hard. Captain Smith says that
lot of fishermen made 5000 last year and
that captains share if vessel stocks
$4,000 is five per cent or $1,000. He thinks
the trouble with the fisheries is that the
young men have abandoned them Just
as they have the farms because of their
desire to get to the cities. where they
can see life as they call it. Captain
Smith claims that at the present time
bigger stocks are made and there is a
bigger demand for all kinds of fish at
better prices than ever before in the
history of the business.
