BOYLE STILL HOPEFUL.
Believes Central Association Will Be
Revived Next Week.


Waterloo, Feb. 7.->Prospects FOR
revival Of the old Central association
baseball league are very bright just
at the present time, according to
Frank Boyle. former manager Of the
Waterloo club in that association.
Mr.. Boyle will leave Sunday for Chi
cago where he will attend a meeting
of officials OF the Three-I league,
scheduled for that place Monday.
During the meeting in Chicago the
Three-I league officials will decide
regarding the cities to be given
franchise In their association for the
coming season.. After this has been
decided there will be called a meet
ing at Cedar Rapids of representa-
tives of Iowa and Illinois cities who
are interested in baseball for their
cities.
Cities Want Baseball.
Mr.. Boyle pointed out that 1t
would be an easy matter to revive
the old Central association. II the
Three-I league takes up cities In
southern Iowa. and Missouri, the
Central association could easily be
made to include such cities as
Moline, Burlington, Rockford and
Freeport, H., Dubuque, Cedar Rapids
and Waterloo.

the owners OF the New York club
and the Boston club. he has been in
training to oppose President Ban
Johnson OF the American league.
They are champing on the bit to
get at Proxy Johnson.
At the December meeting in New
York the minority faction OF the
American league argument took
somewhat of razzing. Now they're
ready for the kickback. To indicate
that they mean business, the New
York magnates have started suit for
a. half million smackers against Mr..
Johnson.
AS to the legal end Of the Johnson
turmoil, no one seems over confident
that the Now York club will get n
half million smackers from MT. john
son on the ground that he con
ceived the idea of driving the New
York club out of baseball and to
this end did various acts injurious
to the club"
Johnson holds considerable power.
He Is one of the members OF the
commission to elect chairman to
succeed Hermann. The American
league men have no moro to say
about the new chairman than have
the National leaguers. A grand tilt
Is anticipated when Johnson's candi-
date is brought forward. The Ma
tional league men are ready to fight
him to the last ditch.
If the fight gets too hot, they may
urge Hermann to "set pretty till
tho clouds roll by. Comiskey favors
! Judge lands for the job. He would
also accept any one else agreed up
on so long as the man were not
| chosen by Johnson.
So that's the way the baseball war
goes.
And meanwhile. fight fans do not
seem to care whether Dempsey was
really a Stacker. whether he was
only afraid. or whether he didn't
know the war was on.
In spite Of February's interesting
fight schedule, the baseball contro-
vervy Is holding the center of the
sport stage. aMny vital questions
| remain to be settled before the rusty
gate hinges groan next spring.
There Is for example. the question
Of prices, which Is no mean prob
lem. Tho dope Is that the 2s-cent
seat Is passed: that so cents will be
the minimum.
But anything can happen in the
meantime.
And a good many things may hap
