WONDER HOW We
STACK UP IN 0. B.
Rock Island Believes II l. Open Ter
ritory But Would BE Glad to
Find Cat for Certain.

Tomorrow The Three-Eye league
season opens and there viii ne no
team IN Rock Island. The agreement
made last fan at Omaha when the
revocation of the fve-mile rule was
under consideration al the meeting of
the National Association OF Minor
leagues. was that the Three-Eye must
must occupy Rock Island this season
or give up the territory. Opening the
season with no team in Rock Island is
equivalent 20 waving rights in Rock
Island, or so it is construed here.
No tears are being shed in this city
because the Three Eye has sighted
the town. As matter of fact the
great majority of those who ia the
past have patronized baseball believe
that this is "a good year not 10 be in a
league and consider IL fortunate that
Rock Island is i'm its present position.
However. there would be some sat
isfaction in knowing just where we
are eat" from a baseball standpoint
Rock Islanders would be glad TO learn
officially whether the domination of
this territory by Al Tearuey has in
fact ended. The only way 10 md out
is to find out. Therefore II any nice
little league should come along and
ask 20 drop a team in here for the sea-
son il is not likely that anybody here
abouts would raise a finger in opposi-
ton. and 10 lIr Tearnev starts any
thing Rock islanders might even be
disposed TO help finish it. Very likely
no nice little league viii come along
and 10 not nobody viii care much.
Just the same, after Tearney's at
tempts 20 stampede Terre Haute out
o. the Central league and to slip Rock .
ford out of the bi-state without paying
for it IT would be interested 10 see .
what the Three-cye head would do
should some circuit place a team in .

Such properties are much better ad-

obvious reasons. Under municipal
control such a property could not help
but degenerate into a political ma

service through lax discipline. and
