Rockford Scribe Raps Three-Eye
Dopesters and Lauds Mel Justice

AS matter Of fact, Mr.. Justice
has been putting up the best fight
he knew how to make to get rock
stand for his league, just as Mr..
Tearney fought the BtState last
year for Rockford. He is not to
be blamed for it. The writer Of
this column holds no brief, IL this
bromide may be permitted, for
any of the gentlemen named, but
he knows them personally and he
ts willing to believe that they
fight fair if not always wisely,
and that is quite as much as can be
said of any of US.
And this in the Saturday issue:
A Davenport paper makes a
savage attack on President JUS
tice of the Central association,
declaring his statement as to the
Rock Island situation are ludic-
rous, and calling him puerile
trickster and wind-jammer. Mfr.
Justice does not deserve such
treatment even from an enemy.
He may be bluff1ng in his Rock
Island deal, but personally he is
an agreeable gentleman and he
has efficiently piloted the Central
association along many a rock
bound coast in rotten weather.
He has served the game well ana
deserves well of It.
