Three-I league makeup clarified in Chicago meeting
The fall Three-I league magnates met in Chicago to resolve the muddle after Decatur’s exit last summer. Rock Island is welcomed and likely to stay, with parties backing its city on the baseball map. Potential managers include Jack Tighe and Pete Lister, while Freeport’s status improves if Springfield returns. Oscar Shannon of Quincy pushed for a doubled guarantee, though not to the extent he hoped. With eight clubs forming and Springfield and Decatur awaiting, organization should complete when representatives meet in Moline next December.
