Judgment of the financial standing
and ability of these men.
NJ. E. JUSTICE,
President Central Association.
Sexton to Farrell.
Rock Island, ILL.,, Feb. s.
J. II. Farrell, Chairman National
Board, Auburn, N. Y:
President Justice has handed me
names of fourteen of the best men
in this city who are amply qualified
financially and otherwise to operate
Central association club here.
M. H. SEXTON.
Still Has Hope.
That the Three-Eye league has not
given up hope of winning Rock Island
yet is evident from the following:
I'VE are satisfied the Three-I will
win" stated Howard ,Klove of the
Rock Island Three-I organization.
after a talk over long distance with
Al Tearney. In the conversation Tear
ney said that the commission was
the Three-I appeal at the
present time and that he confidently
expected favorable decision.
The sporting editor OF the Burling-
ton Gazette has struck an entirely
new chord. He advises the Central
to sell Rock Island to the
league and admit Dubuque
to the league.
It is reported that the transfer Of
the Keokuk franchise to Rock Island
will be protested by Waterloo.
"Our fight is not against Rock Is
land" a representative Of the Water
loo club is reported as saying. I'VE
would welcome Rock Island to our
circuit, if we were sure the Rock
Island fans wanted Central associa-
ion ball. We feel. however, that the
sentiment Of the fans there favors the
Three-I. Our battle is rather with
President Justice, for the high-handed
manner in which he hanu.ed -Ae stu
alton at Burlington, and the way in
which he has conducted his fight
since, despite the position taken by
some Of the clubs in his league. II
he Keokuk franchise is transferred
% Rock Island, Waterloo will insist
hat the $500 Keokuk posted at Bur-
ington be forfeited to the league"
