Former Head OF Three-Eye League
Jumps to Circuit That Shows
More Signs Of Life.

Al Tearney, former president OF
the Three-Eye league, accepted the
presidency of the Western league
Saturday evening. The place was
first offered to Tom Fairweather,
president of the Des MONIES club,
who happens to be mayor of that
city. He declined on the ground
that other duties were 100 press
ing Mr. Tearney was then called
by phone from st. Joseph. where
the meeting was held. and agreed
to take the place. July l he eX-
poets to be put out of the saloon
business under the federal dry
laws.
Mr. Tearney presided over a
meeting of Three-Eye magnates in
Chicago last week and agreed to
head a committee to investigate
conditions in Evansville with a
view of getting that city interested,
along with Terre Haute. Peoria,
and some other cities which have
backing for a revival of the Three
Eye this year. He says that he
will visit Evansville before going
west to look over the Western
league clubs.
Probabilities are this ends Mr..
Tearney's connection with the
ThreeEye league, though he will
continue to make his headquarters
in Chicago. Whether this will
have any effect upon the prospects
of the Three-Eye remains to be
seen. There is not much enthus-
iasm in sight as yet, and the time
is short
The outlook is good for baseball
in the Western league, though one
or two of the clubs need a little
