that Jacksonville was tied to the K.

the information from that city is re-

And at the same time, Danville, which
is badly wanted by the "Three II

This will practically place the Iowa
league where it proposed in the Quincy
meeting that it should stand, except
that Hannibal will not come in. It was
proposed that Hannibal would form one

cutting down the travelling expenses
but the effort to get the street railway

suitable park was unsuccessful and the
fans of the city, willing enough to have
professional ball, were not anxious
enough for it to put up the $4,000 or
$4,000 necessary to fit up the park.

there is one or two other weak sisters

Aggregation.
Special to The Journal,

Iowa City, Iowa, Dec 1.-The choice
OF the Al-Iowa team this year is made
easy in some particulars by the fact
that there are several men in Iowa who
have played with such brilliancy dur
! ing the season that the positions nat.
urally go to them.
Hastings Of Iowa is given the center
position because Of his defensive work
which successfully met the heavy at
tack developed by Ristine-his ability
to break. thru the opposing line and his
sure work on long passes. Palas of
Drake belongs in almost the same class
but he is not so active.
I The guard positions are given to Mel
son OF Ames and Hoffman Of Drake
Nelson have proven himself to be by
lone odds the best guard in the state.
Hoffman has played at tackle the
greater part Of the year, but he is too
valuable man to- leave off the team
These three men would form an active
aggressive center trio that should be
the terror Of many western teams.
