Mrs. Thomas watson returned
Saturday from a visit with relatives
in Davenport. She also attended the
Red Cross meeting at Rock Island
and reports a very interesting ses-
sion, which was devoted to home
service work in regard to caring
for returned soldiers as fast as they
return.
Miss Arizona Watson spent from
Saturday till Monday with relatives
in Muscatine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Virgil Buckley will
move to West Liberty.
Mrs. Charles Foster. who has been
i'll the last two weeks, is improving.
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew Stewart
received a telephone message at
midnight Monday stating that their
daughter, Mrs. Monroe Zigenhorn
was critically i'll. She has, however,
passed the crisis and is recovering.
The pews for the Baptist church
have been received and installed, so
now the remodeiing of the church
is practically finished. Sunday school
will now be held in the church in
stead of in the basement, as hereto
fore.
Rev. and Mrs. Winter of wray-
Mrs. F. c. Mewes is spending the

viii not continue very long. BY
next year this time 1 think that we
will be operating together under a
new agreement that will benefit
both sides.
For Progressive Draft.
L take the view that the draft is
essential to the progress of base
ball, but its operation in the past
has been bad. l am in favor of a
progressive draft, which will permit
clubs to draft only from the club
next below them in rating. l think
that would be to the benefit of the
ballplayer, because it would avert
the too rapid jumps. 1t is very
seldom that a Glass C player can
jump to the majors and make good.
Now, suppose that he goes to Glass
B the next year, then advanced to
Class A the next and the following
year he moves into AA. Now, if he
is major league class, he will be
ready to go into the majors by the
time he reaches them His weak
nesses will have been discovered on
the way, and if he really is good
baseball material, those weakness
ses will have been corrected, and
the big leagues will take on fin
ished player instead of raw
rookie. I hope to see some such
scheme of gradual advancement
substituted for the original draft
plan.
Another thing that the minors
are fighting for is a rule that will
prohibit the major league clubs
from going to the colleges and the
town lots for their baseball talent.
We would make organized ball the
market place for the big league
clubs. They should allow the min
ors to develop the young players.
By their present system of grab
bling up a lot of young, inexperi-
enced players, the majors are de-
veloping into a baseball monopoly.
They put these youngsters under
contract and then farm them out to
the minors, who develop them and
send them back without there be-
Ing a bit of cost to the major league
club. Probably very few people
realize what a strong hold the big
league clubs have on the baseball
talent of the country. 1t is fact
that at the time of the meeting in
New York the eight American
league clubs owned more than 500

MINORS TRYING
AN EXPERIMENT
Such Is Statement of VI. III. Sexton
OF This City at Annual Meet
ing of Association.
PARTING Is NOT SERIOUS.
Separation of Two Leagues VIII
Not Prove Fatal, Nike Says In
Long Printed Interview.

In an interview published by the
Arkansas Gazette OF Little ROCK,
Ark, a few days ago NJ. II. sexton
of Rock Island declared it to be MS
opinion that the parting of the MN
or and major baseball leagues,
while not for the best, would not
prove especially injurious. Mike
was accompanied to Little Rock Dy
August E. Lamp of this city. The
men attended a meeting of the ma
tional association of Professional
Baseball leagues of America
Mr.. Sections statement as re-
printed from the Gazette follows:
1.-The minor leagues now are ex-
perimenting," said Mr.. Sexton.
This. year they will try out the
proposition of running independent
OF the majors and while l person.
sonalIy regard the break in rela-
tions as having been bad move
on the part of the minors l do not
regard the new situation as dan
gerous to baseball. The minors
will try the new system this year
and by next year this time, l am
confident that there will be a new
working agreement in effect be-
tween the majors and the minors.
l do not anticipate that we will go
gack to the old national agreement
for there were many bad features
in that agreement. What l hope
is that we will save the good in
the old order and incorporate it in
a new agreement with the majors
that will result in the establish
ment of the old friendly relations
and will improve the situation as it
effects the minors.
AA Clubs Put 1t Over.
"The minor league owners did
not expect to abrogate the national
agreement when they presented
their demands to the majors. The
Glass AA magnates controlled the
meeting of the minors and they
forced their program on the meet
ing. Their aim was to eliminate
the draft, but when they suggested
majors countered by suggesting
that the whole agreement be abol-
ished and that the minors shift for
themselves. Before the minor own
ers realized what had happened, the
national agreement had been abro-
gated and the minors were alone in
the baseball world.
NOW, the minors cannot get
along without the majors and the
majors cannot get along without
the minors, so this state of affairs

ball players, enough men to run
eight leagues. That is a condition
that is threatening to put the maj
or leagues in control of all base
ball. That is one thing that We
want to eliminate.
Majors Have Been Fair.
81 do not contend that in the
past the minors always have had
the worst of it in their dealings
with the majors. for | consider that
the majors have been very fair
with US as rule, but there are
certain faults that we hope to have
corrected. I believe that by break
ing with the majors these faults will
be removed and that the rights of
the minors will be given greater
respect in the future"
President Sexton is an opponent
of the optional agreement system,
which he regards as being entirely
bad. 1t has been through the OPP
Grafton of the optional agreement
that the majors have been able to
acquire such extensive control of
the playing talent, ne says. In many
cases the optional agreement has
resulted in virtual ownership of
minor league clubs by big league
owners. He said that he does not
anticipate that minor league own
ers will have any difficulty in MAX
ing outright purchases from major
league owners.
The outlook for such minor
leagues as operated last year is said
by Mr.. Sexton to be very good, but
he discourages the smaller leagues
from attempting to play ball this
year.
Is Strong for Southern.
1.-THE Southern league" he said,
appears to me to have an excel
lent chance of success this year
have always regarded this league
as one of the very strongest of the
minor league organizations, and I
look for it to have a big season.
Small leagues like the Three l,
which has a franchise in my home,
Rock Island, ILL.,, face a difficult
situation, and l am hopeful that
they do not try to operate this year.
Expenses have taken such an enor-
nous jump that 1 am afraid they
cannot make it. However, | look
for the Glass AA and Glass A clubs
to have big seasons"

ON FINAL TRIP
OH This Morning for Last Games
OF Season Away from Home
with Eureka and Bradley.

Coach Berg and his Augustana
basket men left early this morning
over the Rock Island for the final
basketball trip of the season. They
clash with Eureka at Eureka to-
night and tomorrow resume their
journey to PEORIA, where they stage
a final battle with the Bradley in
stitute quintet.
According to Berg, two of the
stiffest battles of the season face
the Rock Island men on this, their
last trip. Both opponents are top
notchers in the Little Nineteen and
should offer the most formidable
opposition the local college has
Qet. The bearing the outcome of
Ffhe contest will have upon the
probable positions of the teams in
the final tournament only adds to
the interest as to the chances of
victory
The Eureka college team, which
will form opposition for the open
ing fray of the trip, was to have
played here last Saturday night, &C
cording to schedule. Shortly be-
fore the game a cancellation was
requested for some unexplained
reason. The DOWNSTAIRS are con-
coded as having one of the strong
est basketball aggregations of the
conference, having met and defeat
ed Illinois Wesleyan.
Tomorrow's game at Bradley will
be the last pTe-tournament contest.
Augustana defeated them on the
Rock Island floor, 43 to 27. Angus
tana's team will then begin a short
practice season preparatory to the
tournament at Bloomington March
6, and 5. The players who will
make the Eureka-Bradley trip are:
Samuelson, Anderson, Swanson,
NRengtson, Almer, Rydholm, An
dfeen and Collins.

DAMS ARRANGES
FIGHT PROGRAM
Completes Card to Be Given as Ben
eft for Eddie Evers ut GYM
nasium Tonight.

George Dams has completed his
card for the boxing exhibition
which he will offer tonight at his
gymnasium on Eighteenth street.
between Second and Third avenues,
for the benefit of Eddie Evers.
From all appearances it should fur
nish real entertainment for the
fans.
AS has already been announced,
the main attraction will be for 10
rounds between Mike Dundee of
Rock Island and K o. Emmett, 'the
soldier with an iron jaw" from
Peoria. The downstater comes here
with a reputation as a hard boy to
beat, and he should give the local
bantam wop a hard test. 1t is said
that Mike has developed a punch
and has also perfected an effective
mode OF infighting He has not
fought for nearly a year, however,
and tonight's setto should give the
fans an opportunity of judging for
themselves whether these allega-
tions are true.
Others who will appear on the
card are Jimmy Harris and Jimmy
Gill, both Rock Island boys, with
an abundance of speed and clever
ness. Harris and Gill are sched-
uled to step for four rounds. A
bout of similar length is also card
ed between Ray Zies and Young
Simmons.
A battle royal, featuring four
dusky pugilists. is slated to close
the evenings program. Each of
the dark-hued warriors asserts
that he has been training faithfully
and declares that he feels ready
and willing to take on all corners,
singly or in punches.
