The schedule as proposed calls for 140 games in 137 dates and four trips of the clubs Instead of three as last ear. At the present time it is not the plan to idopt the schedule as a whole. 1 .

The question to be decided is whether the benefits are sufficient to offset the added expense. At the pres ent time the magnates are for the four swings around the circuit. Should a decision be reached' for a three-trip schedule the present schedule will have to be made into a new one. (ironii Imrilgnnut. The Bloomington Pantagraph has come to the front with a demand that the Sporting News be canned by the Ihree-Lye league for roasting Presi- dent Holland for the part he has taken in the Dubuque case. The Three-Eye directors have voted to publish scores jthe coming season in the News, pay- ing for the service out of the league's Hutchinson, southwest quarcor south funds as many other leagues do. The west quarter section 13-1G-2W.: also Pantagraph now demands that the con- tract with the publication be canceled because the News happens to say what t thinks and reflecting, by the way. the general opinion of the outside base- ball world of the controversy. Here nnil There. The Decatur management announces the following as having signed con tracts during the last week: William Lelivi It. pitcher; C. R. Keys, pitcher; Curtis Uncaper, third base; Fritz Hoff- :an, third base; Eddie Persons, pitch er; Harry Berry, catcher. Warren Gill, formerly with Cedar Rapids, did not. like Swacina, hesi tate when offered a Pittsburg contract. but closed terms at onceand will try his best to hold down first sack. Swa cina is said to have written Manager Donnelly of Peoria that he would like o get hack with the Distillers if pos. sible. Very likely it wiil be made pos sible. Rube Vickers, the former Rock Isl and pitcher, who has had a varied ca reer since leaving here, yesterday al lowed the Philadelphia Athletics but two hits and struck out 12 batters in an exhibition game at New Orleans. Rube was recently released by Phila delphia to New Orleans. Jack Herbert has signed a Spring field contract, though it took three trips by Kinsclla to Decatur to bring him around. Both Terre Haute and South Bend plan an invasion of the Three-Eye league for about two weeks during the training season. Pete Lister has finally signed up with Toledo, where he will play first base. He leaves here next Monday for Chat tanooga, Tenn., where he will join his team. Manager Buelow has given out. how ever, a list of the ball players that have been signed by Clinton for the coming season. It is as follows: Outfielders Ohland, Corkhill, Kap- han, Thiery and Doxie. Infielders Buelow, Wahl, Mackey. Meyers, Heintz, Carney, Woeber, Crockett, Schumend and Juergens. Catchers Neiman and Smith. Pitchers Fleet. Baker, Stauffer, Ward, Stillman, Pressey and Ryan. It is said that negotiations are pending for several trades. The training season for the Infants will open about April 1, and arrange ments are being made for games !n several Iowa and Illinois towns. The Chicago White Sox managed to lose three games yesterday. San Fran cisco took the second team into camp twice and Los Angeles trounced the regulars with Jones at the head once. The Airship In War.

ARE GOOD EXHIBITIONS Normal Team Easily Outclasses Local Players Association Team Loses to Wilton. Augustana suffered a double defeat Saturday night in basketball. The crack girls' team of the DeKalb nor mal school was responsible for the first defeat, while the second team of Rock Island Y. M. C. A. was the guilty party in the second game. An additional game between the college first team and Moline high school had been planned, but the latter failed to materialize. The game between the normal and college girls resulted with the score 28 to 7 in favor of Uie former. The game was the cleanest exhibition of Lcskethall seen in the college gym r.asium this year. The playing of the normal five was of the highest order and it is extremely doubtful if there is a girls' team in the state that can defeat them. They claim an unbroken line of victories for the last two years. Fowls were responsible for the de feat of the college boys in the game with the Y. M. C. A. Of the 3G points scored by the latter team, 20 were made by Ficken on foul baskets, with 24 free throws, establishing a new record in this department of the game in the three cities. The college led at the end of the first half by a score of 19 to 15, but the second half went to the Y. M. C. A., 21 to 13, making the total 3G to 32. The line-ups in the two games fol low : DeKalb Normal Luiulbcrg and Gas field, forwards; Earl and Morehead. guards; Hamilton, center. Augustana Erickson and Lindahl. forwards; Bengtson and Jonson, guards; Ringheim. center. Y. M. C. A. Ficken and Smith, for wards; Lamp, center; Robb and Lien rard, guards.

A. first team was defeated in a game of bas ketball by. the YiJton Crescents at Wilton Saturday, night, in one of the fastest games ever played there, the score being 37 to 25. The local team was handicapped by the absence of Ficken. who played with the second team at Augustana, the first team losing many points on free thnAvs, at which he is a star. This game is the second game be tween these teams, the other result ing in a victory for the Y. M. C. A. This game ended the season for the local team. The boys have had a very successful season, and have won the majority of their games, and defeated all tri-city opponents. The line-up of the two teams was as follows: Rock Island MacManus. rf; Jahns, If;, Jensen, e; Driggs, rg; Robb, lg. Wilton Witmer, rf; S. Kiser, If; Cronin, c; Killon, ig; O. Kiser, lg.

In point of safety, convenience and propriety, there can be no com parison between the two ; the one is just as weak and perilous as the Other is strong and safe.
