catur aggregation into camp, it
will be in fairly good shape to be-
gin the Three Eye league campaign
a few weeks later.
More schedule troubles bobbed
up yesterday when copies of the
latest drafts were sent to Presi-
dent Ryan by League Prexy A. R
Tearney. The charts showed the
Peoria team booked in two different
cities on the same dates. and for
one series three clubs have been
assigned to Peoria. If these mis-
takes are ironed out. the chart
looks fairly good to the Peoria
club officials.
Islanders Open Here.
The schedule calls for 40 games
and has the scrappy Jack Tighe
and his Rock Islanders opening
the season here on April 80. This
arrangement is. o. X. for a great
rivalry has always been in evil
dence between Rock Island and
Peoria teams.
Announcement was made yester-
day of the purchase Of Catcher
Roth from the st. Louis Cardinals.
Jackson watched Roth work in
st. Louis last Saturday, and tried
to buy him at the time. The Cards
would not let him go then, how
ever, but message from Charley
Barrett late yesterday brought the
news that he has been turned
over to the Peoria club.
The game booked here for Sun
day and Monday with st. Paul
were cancelled last night when the
st. Paul management discovered it
would be impossible to make the
jump on account of train connec-
tions.
