INDEPENDENTS

The independents and Flying Dutch
men met in the morning in the series
of games postponed from Tuesday and
the local team won two out of three
games rolled, but the Moline team
made the highest score for one game
and carried away the special prize of a
box of cigars which was offered for
the occasion.
Few changes in the league standing
were recorded as the result of the de-
sultory playing which took place dur
ing the week as the result of the many
postponed games and games played be-
fore the scheduled time. The one
change in position was that the Pirates
by taking three straight games from
the Giants forced themselves up two
notches on the ladder and placed the
|Giants and the Boosters beneath them.
At the clip the Pirates have been roll
ing during the last month they bid
fair to crowd the Independents before
the season is closed.
The scores of the Independents with
the Flying Dutchmen were as follows:

SIX TEAMS ARE LISTED
More Than Enough Desired Chance
in the Schedule-Start Play at
Early Date.

Eleven different teams were repre-
scented yesterday at a meeting of the
indoor baseball enthusiasts of the cit
les of Davenport and Rock Island
which was held in the former city
All the teams seemed eager to form a
league but II teams were too many
and it was finally voted to organize
with teams. Accordingly the matter
was put to a vote and three teams
from Davenport, two from Rock Island
and one from the arsenal were chosen
Officers were then elected for the year
and the choice for president fell upon
Manager Jack Tighe of the Islanders
who is to play with the Rock Island
Elks. E. D. Middleton of Davenport
was elected vice president and Louis
Behrens also from the city across the
creek was chosen for the position of
secretary and treasurer. The officers
of the organization were directed to
draw up a constitution and bylaws and
submit it to a meeting of the league
to be held in the near future A COM
mittee consisting of o. B. Hampton OF
this city and Tom McTighe of Daven-
port was appointed to prepare a SEIZED
ule and submit it for consideration at
the same time that the constitution is
presented. The teams which were
elected to tie league are the Rock Is
land Elks, tie Islanders, the Arsenals,
the 1900 block of Davenport, Company
and the Schutzen park team.
To start Christmas.
According to present plans playing
in the league will commence about
Christmas, probably with two games
for each team on that day. Efforts
are being made to secure three suit
able halls for playing the game. two
of them to be in Davenport and one
in this city. Regular admission for
spectators will be charged and out of
this a per cent sinking fund will be
reserved % meet-any obligations at
the end of the year not otherwise pro-
vided for End to serve as a cash prize
to the league champions. Indoor base
ball is organized much the same as the
outdoor game and it is very likely that
the local organization will affiliate
with the central organization of the
big indoor leagues.

were easily the stars for the Y. NJ C.

baskets thrown by an individual on

held Voss. last years star forward,
down to only one field basket. Smith

worth for the position left vacant by

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are certain
to follow continued use of improper
food.
Those who are still young and robust
are likely TO overlook the fact that, as
dropping water will wear a stone
away at last, so will the use of heavy,
greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of
appetite.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect in
their daily food. A New York young
woman writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago | had lot of trobule
| from Indigestion, caused by too rich
food. l got so l was unable to digest
scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless. -.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as a
last resort, tried it. | am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me Of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans, so that can now eat anything
desire. But | stick to Grape-Nuts."

FOR PEACE
N. H. Sexton, on Returning From New
York, Sanguine Of Base
ball Future.
STRONG FACTOR IN D0INGs
He and Farrell Held Up Side of Little
Leagues Against the Two Glass A
Belligerents.

NJ HI. Sexton returned to the city
Saturday evening after having attend
ed the little baseball seance al New
York last week in which action on the
demands of the Eastern league and
American association for concessions
was postponed till Jaa.S4 at Cincin-
natl. Mr.. Sexton was.tthere as a rep
resentative of the minor leagues, be.
ing a member of the national board
of arbitration, and, with Secretary Far
lreil of that organization, upheld the
contentious of the little leagues before
the national commission. After the
demands of the two belligerent class
leagues had been presented, time
was, asked to prepare a reply, and ii
was granted.
Mr.. Sexton retains the same opinion
he held before the New York meeting
that the would-be seceders will quiet
down and be good after possibly OBJ
tanning a few minor concessions. He
said to an Argus representative today:
Have Not Been Consistent.
Il believe that the two rebellious
leagues should, have some concessions
such as the right to draft from the
Southern and Western leagues, but
they have been unreasonable in theiI
demands and certainly should not get
all they ask for. Their lack of con
sistency, too, lays their motives open
TO suspicion. For instance, at the Chi
cago meeting they demanded contro
of the national board. At Buffalo two
weeks later they wanted admission tC
the national commission, or, in other
words, an equality with the major
leagues. At New York both the lead
ing requests were withdrawn and they
asked to be allowed to become a third
party to the national agreement. This
| believe, is contrary to the best in
terests of organized baseball, for il
would give those disaffected through
adverse decisions a third baseball
court before which to lay their griev
ances, and thus there would be see
saw continually which could not fail
10. result eventually in the disruption
of the central minor league organiza
ton. This. however, is but one OF
many reasons for opposing such an
innovation.
''To my mind, the disaffected leagues
have practically nothing to gain and
a great deal to lose by becoming out
laws, and by Jan. they will have
had fimp IN poO1 Off apd 600 whore
