Three-I Meet in Now Scheduled After Tearney Snub

General sporting notes say a Three-I league meeting will be held tomorrow at the Palmer House in Chicago to settle the waterloo dispute between factions. Tearney’s failure to notify Quincy and slight delay for Waterloo spark concerns of peace hopes and a revised schedule for 1911. Attendees include Frank Boyle and William Ewald for Waterloo, with P. J. Martin detained in Dubuque for Women of the World duties and a possible turnout by Quincy reps. The meeting aims to end hostilities and set a fair schedule, though division proposals and northern southern tensions loom. Word of possible league dissolution after this season persists, with an air of cautious optimism for harmony.
