Cochems Wants Local Stars to Play at
st. Louis Christmas Day.

A post-season football game between
an all-Chicago eleven and St. Louis
University of st. Louis is the latest
gridiron possibility. Captain Walter
Steffen of the 1908 Maroons yesterday
received a letter from Coach Eddie"
Cochems of st. Louis asking him to ar
range for such a contest and the Mid
way star may-decide to take up the
proposition.
According to Cochems' suggestion, the
game would be played on Christmas
day and the proceeds would be devoted
to charity. Steffen has not decided
whether or not he will try to get a
team together for the game.
"Cochems wishes to play the game
on a strictly amateur basis" said Stef-
fen last night. He writes that most
of his regulars are willing to take part
in the game, and says he is anxious
to play a team of Chicago players and
ex-players. 1 don't know what will be
done about 1T as yet"

three days at a time.

CELL.
OF A DOG
Little Black Dog whines When They
are Separated and Police Out Of
Pity Put the Dog in Jail With Her
officers After Such Cases.

Ann Stewart, better known under
sobriquet of amateur Ann" a middle
aged woman who has been In Billings,
Miles City and other points in eastern
Montana for some time past and who
seems to be laboring under the delu-
sion that she possesses the talent OF
Blanche Walsh, Olga Nethersole, Ell.
len Terry or any of those stars, was
arrested last night by Officer Ed
Ross.
AIMS case is a pitiful one. When
she was forced into a cell as a woman
of the town, she demonstrated, then
cried and sumbitted to being placed in
Jail.
Ann, however, has one friend who
will not desert her, whatever comes.
That friend is a little black dog, and
last night when his mistress was
taken from him, he whired pitifully
and crept under the desk of the police
sergeant. Pity for the little dog,
caused the officers to give it to its
mistress and it will sleep happy not
knowing why its owner is sobbing.
The police have had numerous COM
plants that women are walking the
streets and %frequenting saloons, and
Ann was the first to be arrested. How
ever, she may not be the last to suffer
a like fate, as the officers are deter
mined that violations of the law OF
this sort must cease.
