WAIT FOR LEAGUE MEETING Want Xew Policies, if There Are to Be Any, Outlined Before Making Plans. The stockholders of the Rock Island Baseball association last night held their annual meeting at the New Har per house, and though they were in session three hours they accomplished very little and failed to even select their directors for the coming year. It was ilie concensus of opinion of those presont that the club should not take any teps towards settling its policies for the coming year until the league has had its annual meeting. Differ ent f.r'-nitlons of the financial troubles which all the clubs have to face year after year are to be presented at the leagve meeting and it is probable that that t'tc Three Eye will take some measures looking towards a more economical management. In this event the io'-al club stockholders and pros pective directors wanted to be free to start with such an end In view. The present officers of the club will remain in charge until after the league meet ing. Then President W. II. Reck will call .'mother session of the stockhold ers and the directors and officers will be selected and the work of getting a team in the field next year will bo staried. j Teiceram to Temnry. In accordance with their desire to : hurry matters along, a telegram was (sent to President A. R. Tearney of the ILLINOIS BOOKINGS. p,c o "California Girls.'

In view of the ar considerable lengm. no acnon a!fact t, , rfi-ns had !ieon ma.fi to taken in the matter, as it was though 1 best to leave this selection to the new board of directors. It was apparent, however, that the stockholders were som?what divided as in iheir choice for manager, although there was no lack cf harmony at any -stage of the meeting. Some favored a playing manager, others thought a bench man ager would be preferable, som? were in favor of one of last year's Islanders, while ethers thought that none of them would quite fill the bill. The whole question was put tip to the j board which is to be elected at the ad- ; journcd meeting. As was expected by those who were familiar with the club's affairs, the re port of Treasurer L. M. Casteel on the finances of the club was entirely sat isfactory. There is no great amount of money on hand in the treasury, but practically all bills are paid and the grounds are In excellent shape and very little money ned be spent in im nrovements there during the coming year.
