sterilized, are used again. This prod
cess is repeated many times, because
of the appalling lack Of surgical SUPP

decision was reached and commit
tee was appointed to investigate. This
body returned a repo:t that the Cen
trail associations claim was the bet
ter in view of Tearney's statement at
Omaha. Justice had also stated that
he had purchased the rights and that
his check was in the hands OF Sec
rotary Farrell
Tearney objected bitterly and
strenuous1y to the outcome, and has
appealed to the National commission,
which now controls the matter. The
head of the Three-I has stated that II
he does not win in the baseball courts
he will carry the fight to the civil
courts.
AS regards sentiment in Rock Is
land there is some doubt. When the
Central association played three
games in that city two years ago the
fans were much enthused and as the
town was sore at Tearney it looked
good for the Central association. 1t
is alleged now, however, that senti-
ment has changed and that the fans
now want Three-I ball, feeling that
they are too big for the Central as
ISOLATION 1t is more than likely that
whichever league places team there

Have Keen Desire to
Defeat AL Tearney

The Burlington Hawk-Eye after re-
viewing the Central associations Three
Eye baseball tangle, comments as fol-
lows on the controversy:
1t is to be regretted IL i'll should
come to the Rock Island fight, as the
very foundation of the league would
rock If organized dissension was to
break out between factions. OF
course, this has not come about and
may not, but oil must be cast upon
the troubled waters soon.
On one point all of the Central as
sociation cities are agreed. Down in
the hearts of the directors, whatever
their apparent view, there is keen
desire to beat Al Tearney because of
his action a couple of years ago, in
blocking the entrance Of Rock Island
into the Central association. The out
come of the fight may be known soon
and after a decision from the Ma
tional commission is received there
are bound to be developments and
when they come they wl.i come in a
hurry.
A brief review Of the Rock Island
case and subsequent facts follow:
When two years ago OttumWa
dropped out Of the league that club
was moved to Rock Island, but ousted
again because it was claimed the Cen
trail association was operating in
Three-I territory, Rock Island being
within five miles of Davenport. The
team was transferred to Galesburg.
At a meeting of the minor leagues
at Omaha the fight for the territory
really begun and it was awarded the
Three-1 on condition that Tearney oc-
cupy that place. Tearney said that
he would give up Rock Island IL he
did not operate club there the fol-
lowing year, and this he failed to do
and it would appear that the terri
tory automatically reverted to this
league.
The issue crept up again at the San
francisco meeting last year, but no
