Expects to Run Up Big
Score
IN THE GAME TOMORROW
Moline Fails to Make Agreement to
Give Locals a Return En-
gagement.

Coach Wanner will take his band
of gridiron warriors tomorrow to
Geneseo to battle with the high school
team of that city. The Geneseo squad
is reported to be a light eleven and
the members of the local team are
confident of winning the game with
little trouble. expecting 10 roll up n
good score against their opponents.
The team will leave over the Rock
Island in the afternoon, and arrive in
Geneseo Immediately before The time
Of calling the game. Harry Mitchell
will accompany the players and act as
referee in the contest.
Those who will compose the locals

horn and Coleman: Ends. Harms and
McManus: quarter back, Marquis; half
backs. Lift and Henning; full back
Heimbeck. Substitutes will be Swan

Moline Backs Down.
Coach Dietz. Of the Moline high
school, said at the conclusion of the
game played a week ago that. if any
of the Moline football team over that
of the Rock Island school. he would
willingly put his men against the lat
ter at any time. However. when man
ager Krell saw the Moline authorities
about another contest they immediate
ly dropped away from their former
statements and would not sign agree
ments for another match. That it
would be brought about is the keen
desire among the members of the To-
cal school and the supporters of the
Rock Island team in general. They
are confident that another trial
would prove its supremacy.
Those who Witnessed the former
struggle saw plainly that the contest
was Moline's in points only; and from
the way in which the locals went
through their line the Moline players
themselves cannot deny that they were
Outciassed.

Cooi Nights and Delightful Indian

year, July proved to be one of the most
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season,
the average temperature being 81 de-
grees. record lower than that made
by either Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia. Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in St Louis during July
were Just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and st. Paul,
cities located at great variance.
August in St Louis is q month Of
cool nights. and September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months of
the year. It ID that period known as
Indian summer. when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con-
tnent Is there spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city, d garden
Of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
fAins.

lows, ever at war among themselves
and with the whole outside world. De-
spite their ferocity they are a clever
race, dress handsomely, have their sui
tans and their slaves and are expert
seamen, while long continued pillage
on the high seas has surrounded theDl
with many of the luxuries ana conyep-
fences Of western civilization.
The buildings of Agriculture, Forest
~ and Fisheries show all the varied
natural products, also the extremely
primitive processes as yet in vogue.
while in the Women's building we are
introduced to number of native man
ufactures, including the beautiful fal,-
RIGS from the just, banana and pine
apple fibers This information is collat-
ed In the Building of Commerce, where
a unique and most effective method of
exhibiting Is followed. In one hall are
samples of all the articles produced for
export, among which manila fiber, of
course, holds the chief place of prom
inence, while In a second hall are all
the manufactures from every country
that are imported and find ready
market among the populace. Thus the
business man gets a dual lesson. He
sees what he can proftably take from
the islands. and also what he may
probably send to them. When it is
added that large number Of represent
alive Filipinos have been brought over
TO visit the Exposition and study Amer
can business methods and manufac-
lures, 1t will be recognized that great
benefit both to the islands and to the
world at large must result from this
work OF mutual enlightenment.
