History Of League.
During the winter OF 19O6-o7 sew
en- clubs of the Iowa State league
held clandestine meeting in Quin-
cy. Fort Dodge was not invited and
the Quincy papers were not permit
ted to make any fuss over the fact
that Quincy was admitted to the
league, as Fort Dodge was still NOM
inally member. However. early in
February Of 1907. a meeting was held
at Ottumwa and Quincy was formal-
ly admitted. Quincy stuck with this
league, later the Central association,
until the close OF the season Of 1911.
Then came the noted fight which at
tracted attention throughout the base
ball world and in which the national
commission was appealed to for
justice.
Quincy fought to get its freedom
from the Central association. but was
defeated. Quincy finally raised 81
500 and bought its release. In the
meantime the Three-1 league found
itself in peck of trouble, because
Waterloo would not drop out when
ordered, the northern end having
slipped one over on the southern.
Bloomington dropped out and gave
Quincy its franchise and Quincy has
been a member since, winning one
pennant.

was concerned.

fact that so much fuss had been

him to be of very slight Importance.

stones

Keokuk has dropped baseball, Bur
lngtOn bid good bye to the national
pastime this season, and now Quincy,
former member OF the Central as
ISOLATION, around which city a base
ball war of national proportions
waged, has given UP the ghost. And
it Is said that other clubs in both
the Three-I and Central association
are ready to give up. It either means
that baseball in those cities is dead
or else the brand OF baseball comes
too high.
In the Three-$ league the latter is
undoubtedly the cause. Each club
in that league must raise a good
a city Quincy's size can put up, and
the inevitable happened. In the Cen
trail association the league drifted
north and left Keokuk and Burling-
ton stranded. Railroad fares mounted
and interest died and the teams
dropped out
Talks Of New League.
The question is now asked: How
would league succeed that had
neither long jumps or big expense
account? Very well. thank you,
some will readily answer. A league
such as this might be formed in this
locality. There would be Keokuk,
Burlington and Quincy for the back
bone OF the organization, and there
are other cities in this territory that
would want in. Keokuk Is getting
ready for baseball again with a new
ball park ready to be opened and the
street car line being extended to it.
Undoubtedly Quincy will want to
have baseball again some day. That
city was happy once in the Central
association but just would join the
Three-I and now has found the med
fcine bitter.
There are some local fans who have
visions of just such a league as the
one outlined. The jumps would be
short and the expense could be kept
down and the brand Of ball would be
just as fast.
Tombstone Bids Wanted.
A Quincy newspaper comments as
follows on Quincy's demise in the
Three-I:
League baseball Is dying from
scanty degeneration of the pocket
book in Quincy. There is supposed
to be hope as long as there is life,
but the life of the local club will end
gently, without struggle or an eff
fort on the part OF loving fandom
to prolong it, and the demise will
come next Tuesday at Chicago, when
o. w. Shannon will collect his 81 900
forfeit and refuse to plank it down
again. Tombstone dealers uixht xet
