URBRNA LOSES TO
MOLINE ON A FLUKE
Visitors Have All Che Better of Argu-
ment bit Fail to Score-Lack
of Beadwork is Cause.

Moline high school was fortunate
enough to win from Urbana high
school on fiule in their game Satur-
day afternoon in Moline. The down
staters really had the advantage
throughout the entire contest, but
they showed a lack of head work at
crucial moments which undoubtedly
cost them the game. Moline scored a
touchdown early in the game and after
that succeeded in holding the visitors
and keeping them away from their
goal line. The touchdown was made
by Half Back Peterson who gathered
in a punt which Moline kicked and
which the Urbana backfeld men failed
to catch. The Molinel stan nearly the
length of the field for the only score
of the game. During the entire con-
test Moline failed to make a single
first down and Wyland's kicking and
the poor work of the Urbana backfeld
men was the only things which pre-
vented the visitors from scoring or
several occasions. The lineups:

VANDERBILT CUP
RACE DISAPPOiNTS
Time Made by Winner Not Good as
Year Ago and Nobody Was
Hurt.

New York, Nov. 1.-The fifth Van
dcrbilt cup race was won Saturday
afternoon by Harry z. Grant, driv-
ing a 60 horse power Alec car, the
only six cylinder machine in the race.
His time for the 27S.OS miles was 4
hours 25 minutes, AZ seconds, an
average speed of 62S miles an hour.
Edward H. Parker, driving a As
horse power Fiat, finished second, 8
minutes, 80 seconds behind Grant.
William Knipper, driving a 40 horse
power Chalmers-Detroit was third.
Two other cars, the Mercedes, driven
by Wishart and an Amateur Atlas,
driven by Knox, were the only re-
naming machines among the 1 5 en-
tries for the Vanderbilt trophy which
were still on the course when the
race was declared ended. The con-
test, reduced to the level of an or
binary stock car event, was spirit
less. The winners average speed
of 62S7 miles an hour. was dis
appointment to many who expected
the mark made by Robertson in a
Locomobile last year 64.3 miles an
hour, to be exceI1ed.
Although accidents to cars were
machine after machine re-
tired ny the failure of machinery or
disasters at the turns, but nobody
was seriously injured.

OF RACE FOR TITLE
Defeat at Hands of Moline East Ends
Eliminates Them From Further
Trial for Championship.

The Moline East Ends proved too
strong for the Maroons of this city IN
their game in Moline yesterday after
noon and the local boys went down in
defeat by a score of 9 to 0. the game
was hard fought from start to finish
and the lightweight team from this
city put up a great contest but were
unable to gain consistently on the
heavier Moliners. The East Ends
were old heads at the game while the
Maroons are the youngest of the teams
in the three cities which have been
in the running for the tri-city cham
pionship. The game yesterday eff
fectually eliminated the Maroons from
the race and practically ended the race
as with the defeat of the West Ends
of Davenport by the West Ends of Mo

CHAMPIONSHIP OF
TRI-ClTIES CINCHED
Moline West Ends Put Last Rival
Out of Running i'm Game in
This City Yesterday.

The West Ends of Moline and the
West Ends of Davenport played a
game yesterday afternoon in this city
which practically settled the champion
ship of the three cities inasmuch as
the victory of the Mollners eliminated
every one of the possible contenders
from the race. The final score of the
game was &c to 8. The Moline team
started in with a dash and scored a
touchdown on two end runs by Half
backs Anderson and Wolfe. After
that the Davenport aggregation put up
a better exhibition and made the Mo
liners hurry for their gains. They
came steadily, however, and before
the first half was over three touch
downs had been made.
In the second half the Moline team
made two more touchdowns while
Davenport broke into the score col
umn by securing a pretty place kick
from the 25 yard line. Captain Lam.
bert booted the ball between the bars
and made the first points which have
been scored against the Moline team
so far this year.
The winners played open style foot
ball amost entirely and forward passes
and onside kicks were numerous.
Some of the passes resulted in long
gains, and nearly every one of them
proved successful. Davenport tried
several forward passes but were una
tense. The teams lined up as follows:

SAME SCALE IN SOUTHERN?
League Players Sec Salary Limit of
81, 200 in 1910.

Memphis, Nov. 1. - Plans of
Southern league directors to lower
the salary limit at the annual meeting
here Nov. are believed to be side
tracked, according to the claims of
players, who say that in the face of
reports that the American associa-
ton will secede from the National
association and go it alone, the south
ern magnates have practically agreed
to permit the present scale for fear
of further displeasing players already
lined up with so-called organized
baseball.
The Southern league has enforced
a salary limit of $2,7O0 with 10 play
ers maximum for several seasons, but
claims of losses by various clubs the
past season is given as excuse for
economic plans for next season.

cadet who was injured Saturday in
the game with Harvard, suCcumbed
early yesterday morning. Colonel
Hugh L. Scott. superintendent of the
military academy, announced late
last night that there would be no
more football at West Point this
year.
The other victims were Roy Spy

Eugene a. Byrne of Buffalo, n. Y, a

hospital at 6:35 yesterday morning, a
sacrifice to football. The army is &C
customed to death, but not in this de-
plorable form, and this tragedy of the
gridiron has brought such poignant
grief to officers and cadets alike that
the end OF football at West Point ana
is predicted by many.
The fatal accident to Byrne, coupled
with the fact that Midshipman Wilson
Of the Naval academy is expected TO
die of a similar injury received two
weeks ago. has once more aroused the
of football to activity. but the

These birds are not extra good cat

Spring shooting drives out other
