President Justice at
Meeting.

President M. E. Justice of the Cen.
trail association, returned last night
from Rock Island where he met yes
terday with a committee of three ap-
pointed by the National association
to decide whether Rock Island shan
be awarded to the Central association
or the Three-I league.
The committee spent the day in
looking over the situation and last
night sent their decision to Secretary
Farrell of the National association,
who will make it public in a few
days.
The National association committee
was composed of T. NJ. Chivington,
president of the American associa-
ton: Charles Mol of the Northern
league. and DR.. Frank Carson. 1t ar

Decision Coming.

The decision OF the committee will
probably not be made pubilc for sew
era1 days yet and will be one of the
announcements of Secretary FarrelPs
monthly bulletin OF baseball matters
Although there is strong Three-i
faction in Rock Island, President JUS
tice found many warm supporters of
the Central association and although
it is not known what the decision will
be, it is thought that the c. A stands
as good show as the Three-Eye
Although the announcement will not
be made for day or two yet, this
will not cause postponement of the
annual meeting of the Central associa-
ton in Burlington tomorrow. All 9TH
er business Of the league will be
transacted, but the question of who
will be the eighth member of the
league will be decided later 1t will
either be Rock Island or Fort Dodge.
for the inactivity OF keokuk sports
men during the last few days to take
advantage of their last opportunity
has made baseball a dead issue here.
The committee spent yesterday in
visiting influential baseball men in
Rock Island and learning their senti-
ments. An automobile trip over the
city was one of the features of the
afternoon. At noon the party was a
guest of the recently organized Rock
Island Three-I Baseball association at
dinner. President Justice did not at
tend this diner for diplomatic rea-
sons, but had the last session with
the three before they departed for
their homes. Late in the afternoon
President Justice laid his case before
the committee, following which a pri-
yate session was held, at which it is
said decision was reached which
was wired last night to Farrell.

Baseball Procedure Factor.

But sentiment is not the only fac
tor to be considered. An umpire may
wish to see a ball payer make d
base hit, but sentiment must not allow
him to call foul a fair hit ball. The
regulations and procedure of base
ball must be taken into account In
the major league territorial rights be-
long to individual clubs, but in the
minors they belong to the leagues as
whole. Rock Island is the property
of the hree-I league under the five
mile limit law Of baseball. But Presi-
dent Tearney on behalf Of the Three-I
league unqualifidely surrendered the
rights of his organization to Rock
Island at the Omaha meeting in 1914.
when he publicly announced that his
league would waive its rights to the
territory in favor of the Central as
sociation if the Three-I did not have
club in Rock Island last year 1t
is matter of record In the minutes
of the National association which
were read and approved last fall at
the San Francisco meeting.
.'Under baseball law the Central as
sociation has claim to Rock Island

Statement Ma de.

According to the Davenport Demo
crat, the members OF the committee
were loath to give an intimation of
just what their attitudes were. How
ever, one member of the committee.
who declined to be quoted, threw
some interesting light on the situa-
ton before decision had been
reached. He said:
The question of whether Rock
Island is to be in the Tnree.I league
or in the Central association does not
altogether rest on just what the SEN
timent of Rock Island baseball fans
is. From what I, personally. gather
since our arrival, IN view of the
amount of Three-I sentiment encoun-
tered, would not care to have a Cen
trail association franchise in Rock
Island.
