and that he hoped in case the team
fails in its great hope of defeating
Moline that it will at least be sail

Tomorrow is the big day in football

be on the fell when the game is called
at 3 o'clock at the Athletic park in
Moline. The battle promises to be
one of the best games hat the fans
lave seen for many GEARS as both
teams are well up on the new style
of football and both have had the ad-
vantage of excellent training ali year.
The sentiment has been all along that
Moline will be able to carry off the
honors, but the local fans are saying
little and hoping much. The day be-
fore the contest finds both teams full
of confidence and ready tor the battle
of their lives. Neither Cf the coaches
are willing to predict victory for their
team but both have d ling in their
statements which is not to be mis-.
taken, and it is easily tc be seen that
neither anticipates defeat
They Were Bear Stories.
AS was believed in tha local camp
all week the stories about Moline's
best men being unable TO play were
merely bear stories and now at the
last minute, when the stories have
had time to do their work, Captain
Hart comes out with the statement
that both Woodyatt ami Wyland viii

SEXTON : TO LEAD
MINOR LEAGUES
Should Breach With Class A Organi-
zations be Permanent He Will
Be Selected.
PREFERENCE IS INDICATED
Picked at Chicago Meeting, But Action
Is Rescinded in Hope That Peace
May Prevail.

If the breach between the National
Association of Minor Leagues on the
one hand and the Eastern league ami
American association on the other
hand becomes permanent it will be
M. H. Sexton of this city who will
lead the forces of the regulars" with
their 80 or more leagues against the
inroads of the outlaw organizations,
which the boiling leagues must neces-
sarily become.
This was indicated ct the closing
meeting OF the leagues yesterday at
which Mr.. Sexton was elected presi-
dent to succeed p. T. Powers, who
had withdrawn by reason of his being
president of the sec 9iing Eastern
league. After action had been taken,
however, it was decided that this
would only make the breach perma-
of the boilers. should they desire to
come back, so the election of Mr.. Sex
ton was rescipded. However, it is
evident that. should it be necessary
10 eventually select a successor to
Mr. Powers, Mr.. Sexton will be the
man.
Shows His Standing.
Mr.. Sexton has been one of the lead
ing figures in this weeks meeting and
this new honor is further evidence OF
the high esteem in which he is held
and the respect that is paid his judg
ment by the leaders in baseball the
country over.
The National Association of Base
ball Leagues adjourned yesterday
without settling the difficulty with the
| two boiling leagues, bH. 4 truce was
declared during which rhe board of ar
| bitration, of which Mr.. Sexton is a
member, will have full power to deal
with the situation. The board will re
main in session all week Represent
atives of the Eastern league and Amer
| lean association will Meet at Buffalo
next Wednesday and plan their line oi
action
| Rumors of Changes.
While both sides are standing pat
the atmosphere is fun of rumors o.
projected plans to start something. i
is asserted the Eastern league plan:
to withdraw from Montreal and plac,
club in New York, the location Sc
lected beip" in the BrCrX. it also il
limited the Toronto club may be move'
to Detroit Tho American association
meantime is expected 20 invade 81
Louis and Pittsburg, as well as Chi
cago. The St Paul a7i Minneapoli
TERRITORY would be abandoned for tina
purpose.
Each side expects the first move t
come from the other and neither i
willing to make a move. 1t is cor
sidered certain the boiling Lacquer
will not remain in the .'inor associs
ton under the same conditions a
have existed. Two solutions are pc:
sible. They are to create higne
class than now exists in the minor a:
sociations and permit The rebels" t

was out to aid in perfecting the de-
fensive work of the oackfield. The
final practice was full of ginger and
there was smile on ;he lace of the
coach when the boys were sent to the
gymnasium.
Good officials Named.
Good officials have been chosen by
the managers of the two teams, and
The reputation of the two men select
ed is assurance that the game will be
won on it's merits, and that neither
team will be favored in the rulings
of the officials. Rock Island had the
privilege of choosing The referee. and
as was announced yesterday by The
Argus, Fred Moore, former center on
the Iowa university team is to fill the
place. The fact that Mr.. Moore was
recommended by Coach Catlin of Iowa
university was sufficient for the local
management. Moline has chosen
Henry Lyman of Grinnell as the UNI
pire. Lyman acted as umpire at the
Moline-Roclkford game. and it is prob
able that Rock Island, had it been
authorized to name the umpire, would
have asked Lyman to act. The head
linesman will be Mr.. Baker of the
Davenport high school faculty and the
two timers will be named from the
two cities, one from each. One as
sistant linesman will he named from
each school also
