MOLINE ONE AHEAD
Records Of High School Football
Games Since 1899 Show It's
Rock Islands Turn.
HONORS HAVE BEEN EVEN
Except for Fact That Pillow City Took
an Extra One Last Season-In-
terest Is intense.

1t is without doubt the turn of the
local high school to win the game from
Moline when they meet next Saturday
on the field of battle and fight their
annual game for the championship of
the three cities. Records of the results
of the games played by the two schools
for the last 10 years show that the
teams have kept the number of games
won about even, but that the maroon
and white is now a game ahead of the
crimson and gold. Two out of the last
nine games have been ties, three were
victories for Rock Island and the other
four were won by Moline. Since 1903
the teams have alternated their victor
les until last year, when Moline was
unkind enough not to allow Rock Is
land to win when its turn came, and
the result is that the maroon players
have an advantage of one game in
their favor. The scores for the last
nine years were as follows:

UNIQUE SIS GOLD PIECES.
Design Depressed In New Coinage In.

The minis at Philadelphia. San Fran
cisco and Denver recently began coin
ing new five dollar gold piece struck
on a different plan from any hereto
fore coined in the world 1t follows
an idea expressed to President Roose-
welt by DR.. William Sturgis Bigelow
of Boston that TO permit the coins being
piled to n uniform height high or
strong relief might be obtained by de-
pressing the design below the field or
face of the coin instead of raising it
above, as usual in all coming opera
tions
This would provide n fat field and
uniform thickness, the fiat surface
taking the wear and protecting the re-
lief, the shape of the depression fol-
lowing the outline of the relief. The
same design will be used on the $3.50
pieces. and all will bear 'In God We
Trust"
While never applied to coins, the
countersinking relief is one of the old
est forms of sculpture in stone.

and Go to Second.

Several changes in the standing OF
the clubs in the bowling league came
about as the result of the games
bowled last evening by the different
teams. While the Independents are
still in the lead by a big margin, the
Boosters were nosed oui of second
place by the Davenport Giants, who
climbed up from fourth place, and the
, Pirates managed to get above the Fly

cellar with dull thud which makes

year and 10000 official bulletins sent
out. Over $250,000 was received in
transit for purchased and drafted
players during the year. OF this sum
over 100000 was for purchased play
ers, over $4,000 for options exercised
and over 100000 for drafted players.
The total number of players drafted
by the National league from minors
this season was As and by the Ameri-

was submitted to an auditing commit

The case of President Wolfe of the
Spokane club occupied little time.
This magnate was asked 10 substan-

newspapers against Umpire Fray of
his league, accusing him of associa-
ton with gamblers. No proof of the
charges icing forthcoming, the board
declared the club owner tarred from
organized baseball.

the Three-Eye league, was awarded to

Rock Island. Moline
College Men as Officials.

All the officials for the big game
have not yet been decided upon, but
the arrangements for securing them
have been completed. Henry Lyman,
who acted as umpire in the Moline
Rockford game, will again serve in
that capacity, and the referee will be
secured from the University of Iowa.
The local school is entitled to select the
referee, but just who he will be has
not been decided yet. The head lines
man will be chosen from the Dayen-
port high school.
The game-is the chief topic of con-
versation on the lips of nearly all the
residents of the cities, and had it
come two weeks earlier one might
never have learned from others that
there was n general election at hand
Football receives all the attention, and
from indications both teams will be
followed TO the gridiron by enormous
crowds. The roofing will be some
thing great this year, but as the best
of feeling prevails between the two
schools and their followers. nothing

is anticipated.
Moline Is Recovering.
Both teams will be in the pink of
condition when they line up for the
kick off. Moline players are rapidly
recovering from their hard knocks and
bruises received in the Rockford game,
and Rock Island had no game last Sat
urday. so their physical condition is
well nigh perfect. Dope on the game
is scarce, and it is practically a toss-up
which side will win.

The game which the Independents
had scheduled with Peoria Sunday has
been Cancelled and from present indi-
cations the local team will not play
again this year Several of the mem
bers of the team are out of the city
and two more will be unable to play
again this year on accouEt of sickness
and injuries so that it has been de
cided to disband. The Independents
have the record of having passed
through the season without single
defeat and for the first time have
landed The tri-city championship for
the city. The boys have played re-
markedly good game considering the
little practice and coaching they were
able to get and it is all the more to
their credit that they we're able to
win from teams that put in from three
to five nights a week in practice. They
will probably be organized early next
year and in that case an effort will
be made TO get in line for the state
independent championship.
Moline Team Plays Here.
Although the Independents will play
no more this year still there will be 9
game at the park next Sunday, and q
good one at that. The West Ends
who held the Independents to the low
score of to 0, will meet the team
from Spring Valley, which defeated
the East Ends of Moline earlier in the
season. The West Ends ARE expecting
to beat the visitors and fast game
is anticipated. The game will be
played at the Island City ball park be
cause the park in Moline will be taker
that day by the East Ends, who have
game scheduled.
