ROCK ISLAND THREE-I IN 1915? James T. Hayes, if Made New President, Will Welcome This City's Return. SEXTON GUEST OF HONOR Elue Sox Owners Tender Palatial Ban quet to Pennant Winners All Favor Rock Island. Is Rock Island to become a member of the Three-Eye leapue next year? This Is the prevailing question among fans of the Island city, follow ing yesterday's announcement fiat Al Tearney had signified his Intention of withdrawing from organized baseball; it was the prevailing question at the bis banquet tendered to the Blue Sox players by the club owners at the Dav enport Commercial clu'i rov-ms across the river last night. And the answer seems to be in the affirmative. Several speakers at th banquet dis cussed Rock Island as a Three-Eye possibility jiext season, and on all sids the suggestion met with favora ble cemment. James T. Hayea, secre tary of the Davenport club, and possi bly president of the league next year, is strong for this city, and if lie is elected there Is no doubt that the Is land City park will ajrain be the sr eno of hotly contested battles as in days of yore. M. H. Sexton Speaks. - M. II. Sexton of this city, president of the National Association of Minor Baseball Leagues, was the principal speaker at the banquet, commending the players upon winning the pennant, discussing Rock Island as a member of the league next year, and last but iot least, describing graphically the manner in which Rock Island prac tically won the title for the Blue Sox this season through its former stars. Frank Lakaff and Dan O'Leary. Mr. Sexton also commented upon James T. Hayes cs next president cf the league, and expressed considerablo satisfaction over the timely withdraw al of Al Tearney from organized base ball in general, and the Three-Eye league in particular. In fact approval, was manifest on all sides over Tear- ney's action, practically every one of the speakers paying some attention tr the matter in a favorable light during the course of his address. " H. M. Sharon, postmaster in Daven port, acted as toastmaster at the ban quet, calling upon Mayor Martin R. Carlson of Moline. president Dick Iine cf the Davenport Blue Sox, James T. Hayeo. secretary of the Dav enport club. Dan Horn. W. R. Cham berlain, Daniel O't-eary. manager of th- pennant winners, and M. H. Sex ton, president of the National Associa tion of Minor Leagues, for short talks. Tearney's Resignation Timely. The resignation cf Tearney as presi dent of t ie Three Eye league, coming as it did at this time of the year, is one of the most pleasant happenings of the baseball year, as it saves fur ther fighting between the Chicago al derman and this city. Tearney has al ways been down on Reck Island, ow ing to the fact that he could not run things here as ho pleased, and for that reason the city had but little chance of getting into the league while he was at its head. In fact Rock Island has Tefused to accept a Three-Ee berth as a gift with Tearney in the organization, and it was well known throughout the circuit that this city would not join until Tearney either quit or was ousted. It has often been jokingly sal that Tearney took such little interest in affairs of the Three-Eye league that he could not name the cities which formed the organization. There was continual fighting and wrangling, to gether with rioting in ?ome of the parks, especially .-.t Peoria. - There were 2'0 seated at the ban quet table hist night, and a general cood time was reported all around. Every speaker praised the Davenport players for the wonderful record they have made this season by winning th pennant and remaining on the top of the column from the very first clay the season opened. There is no doubt that Rock Island will make an effort to Join the league next year. With Rock Island. Moline an.! Davenport all members of the or ganization, it could be made a splendid financial success, as keen rivalry would exist all around and big crowd would attend the games. The talk which was current at the first cf the prcent season regarding Davenport j i!)ir:g the Western league Is al! bosh, as no such move has ever been con sidered and the city across th river will again be in th Tri-Optlc circuit next year along with the Plow C'ty and probably Rock Island. no triFtcTcuba FOR WEST SIDERS Chicago. 111.. Sept. 10. The Cubs-cxi-ed.tion to Cuba is off. Prcbideiit Charles Thomas of the West Side club ve-terday announced that be would not allow any of his pluers to visit the island to play a series of games with a Havana lu. The Ja;int was to have been beided by Rube. Cook, the Cubs' secretary, and 15 members of the team had expre. d their ineii. tion of going. Thomas' tiltlmatum followed a com plaint made by Manager O'Day. The Cub pilot was strongly opposed to the idea, and he informed the club presi dent of his attitude. Thomas then thought over the matter and decided to put the lid on the trip. "The players need a rest In the win ter, and, moreover, it would be fool hardy to let them spend a month in Cuba, an 1 run the rish of malarial at tacks. We cannot afford to Jeopardize our chances for next season," said Thomas. The plans for the trip called for a start some time late la October. Games were to be played in some of the resort cities along the east coast of Florida prior to the series at Havana in the month of November. The Cub players did not think there would be any objection to the Journey, as major league clubs have rlsited Cub.i in the past without disastrous results. This fall Connie Mack will take his champions to the Pacific coast for a long series of games with a picked team from the National league. Jim Vaughn, the Cub lefthander, has signed to pitch for the All-Nationals, but may be forced to withdraw as the result of Thomas' attitude. BRAVES BREAK EVEN WITH PHILADELPHIA Boston, Mass., Sept. 10. Thanks to the Giants downfall before Brooklyn and their own ability to split even wilh the Phillies, the Braves were able to hold their lead of one game and a half in the National league race yester day. Stallings' club was roundly beat en in the curtain-raiser, 10 to 3, but returned with a 7 to 0 victory. The Phillies broke up the first game by scoring seven runs against Cocre ham and Crutcher In the first two Inn ings, but later in the afternoon they were totally unable to do any execu tion against Boston's youngest box man -George Davis, formerly of "Wil liams' college and now a student at the Harvard law school. Davis did more than shut the Quakers out he retired them without the semblance of a base hit II The National Marathon. II Games W. L. Pet. behind Boston 70 54 .565 .....

Sept. 10. Charley White is back in town. Accompanied by his wife, his manager, Nate Lewis, and trainer, Ike Bernstein, the Ameri can champion '"blew in" from Denver at 8:43 last night fresh from a laurel winning journey to the coast, when he won three fights in succession via the knockout route. He has two weeks' theatrical work in sight, and following a 10 days' rest says he will be ready for a winter's campaign. "I was homesick or I would still be knocking them dead on the coast,'' White explained In telling why he turned down a chance to meet Joe Rivers in Los Angeles and Tommy Murphy in Frisco. "Three months is a long time to be away from norce, and I hardly could wait until the Labor day battle was over to grab a train bound for Chicago. 1 have a tcore or more of offers, but will wait until Mil waukee promoters give us some idea of their plans for the season before accepting.'' FEDERALS ARE AFTER PACIFIC COAST STARS Los Angeles. Sept. 10. Jack Ryan, si:ir niifher of the Los Anseles Pu- cific Coast league club, and Ernie j Johnson, shortstop, admitted yester day they had received nattering or fers from the Federal league, but neither would intimate what his deci sion would be. The Brooklyn Federals offered Ryan a three-year contract at $3,000 a year, and the Chicago Federals mafle Johnson an offer, but ne refused to divulge the tern's. Both men did say, however, that Owner Berry had treat ed them in the best possible manner, and neither had any grievance. These offers are believed to be the forrunner of President Fielder Jones' announced plan to "raid the coast" of all Its good men. DUNDEE AND BEECHER TO FIGHT AT LCS ANGELES Ls Angeles, Sept. 10. Johnny Dun dee and Willie Beecher. both New Yorkers, were matched last night to fight 2o rounds at Vernon the night of Sept. 29 at 133 pounds, ringside. This is catchweights for both boys though Dundee demanded a forfeit of $.",110 that the weight would be made. The Italian asserted that he was giving away 10 pounds to get tne fii-'ht.

LARGE SQUAD AT CORNELL Princeton Starts Work for 1914 Sea sonSignal Practice at Notre Dame De Pau Team Good. Ann Arbor, Mich., Sept 10. Field ing H. Yost sprang surprise No. 2 in the Wolverine football training camp yesterday when he lined up a complete eleven and sent them down the field in formation just 24 hours after he had called his squad together for the first practive of the season. The advent of three of the Wolver ine's most seasoned veterans was the probable cause of the unexpected move on the part of the wizard coach, but this did not serve to lessen the amazement of the camp followers, who in years past have been taught to wait at least a week before the first inkling of a possible Yost eleven made itself apparent. Captain James Raynsford had charge of this first eleven and worked at his old tackle post. Hughitt, Lyons and Catlett were the veterans to arrive in camp yester day while the others to come in were Burge, a former University of Wash ington player; Hildner. Norton, Pat terson and Whalen. Harry Hammond once of Chicago and a former Michi gan star, was in camp yesterday af ternoon and promised to come back with his brother Tom before the Har vard .game to help .out Y'ost.

Notre Dame, Ind., Sept. 10. Twenty men reported for the second football practice of the season at Notre Dame yesterday. Running, back punts and snappy passing of the ball were in dulged in for an hour, after which Coach Harper put the men through a light signal drill. Fitzgerald, Kelle her, Cook, Kecfe and Vollkivs of last year's team, have returned. All the men are in tip-top condition. DePau Team Strong. Chicago, 111., Sept. 10. Joe Paupau of the De Pau football team is going after big game this fall. The fact that his team made such a good showing last fall makes him feel sure of a title this season, and he will try to arrange games with high school champs. The academy squad appeared In moleskins for the first time yesterday. It is ex pected the varsity team will report Monday. Only four men will be miss ing on the "prep" squad this year, and, with a squad of forty already working out, Paupau expects to pick a winning eleven.
