A NEW
BOAT
Illinois Central to Have Larger
Transfer Here.
Merchants Assured That Better
Freight Service will Soon
be Established.

The matter of better freight SER
vice across the Ohio river at this point
has been brought to the attention OF
the Illinois Central railroad authori-
ties by the Commercial Association OF
Paducsh, and positive assurance has
been given that the system now used
of routing shipments from Paducah

TO 10 merely temporary.
This roundabout way of shipment
has caused much vexatious delay, but
this delay will soon bs all over.
The railroad company will, inside
Of thirty days have new transfer
boat in the trade here, which will be
amply able to handle all the business
of this crossing and Paducah ship
ments 20 illinois points will be han

Each will strive for The first place,

TO believe that he is the only man in
the Democratic party on whom the

stage SAYS EAST HAS NO
ADVANTAGE OVER WESTERN GAME
Famous Coach Says Western Elevens Much More
interesting

the teams Of other big Western in
situations.
Football, like fighting or any other
sport, is not a matter of geography.
If il were the Western men would have
a slight advantage in the fact that
out-of-door life is more general in the
West, and, as a natural consequence
the average Western man is bigger
and stronger than the average East
erner.
Yost told me that his team was the
heaviest in the country, its line aver
aging something like 22O pounds. and
the backs averaging nearly 200. The
players are from the mountains and
the plains. as well as from the cities,
and they have the strength and force
of the Western open-air life behind
them.
So far as the matter of Eastern
teams playing in a rut is concerned,
I think Mr.. Stage is right. Can any
one who has seen the big games of the
past few seasons pick out one game
that developed something absolutely
new and original in the line of often
sive work? Yale has the greatest
team, and her plan all along has been
straight football" That means sim
ply that Yale depends upon using her
team like a battering ram to smash,
smash, smash monotonously through
the opposing teams. 1t is not spec
tacular, but it is effective. The spec
tators prefer the open game, with it's
variety and dash.
