James +. Hayes in commenting on the
action taken in Chicago.
Mr. Hayes was a charter member of
the Three-I league, being one OF the
central figures in its organization at
Peoria in 1901. The league is now six
teen wears old and Davenport has been
a member Of the organization for our
teen out of the sixteen years. This
city dropped ont during the years 1907
and 1908 and re-entered in 1909.

largely upon the development and sale
