CATCH BIG CHIEF
Chris Eastman Affixes His Sig
nature to a Rock Island
Contract.
TIGHE FINDS HIM LOOSE
Supposed to Have Been Property of
Little Rock by Which Team He
Was Bought from Peoria.

Big Chief Chris Eastman, the In
dian twirler who was with Peoria two
years ago and has been one of the
leading pitchers in the league for
several years, is the latest acquisi-
ton to the Islanders. The Big Chief
was with Little Rock in the southern
league last year but he cut loose from
them and has been free lance in the
baseball world. Jack Tighe has been
in communication with him for some
time with a view to getting his sig
nature on a Rock Island contract
and the Indian twirler has finally
agreed to the terms by Tighe and his
contract is expected in few days.
May Not Find Room Here.
In view of the excellent pitching
staff which Manager Tighe has al
ready secured. there seems at pres
ent little need in hunting for more
men. 1t may be that the Indian will not
be used here as his chances for going
into faster company are good and it
is more than likely that some of the
minors in the east will be on his trail
before long and he will prove an asset
for trading purposes.

Scored Total of 800.

Augustana college broke even in
it's record of basketball games played
this season, winning five contests and
losing a like number The record,
however, it better than it appears at
first glance, inasmuch as three of the
lost" games were dropped to the Y
NJ C. A team of Rock Island, the
champions of the tri-cities. Angus
tana made desperate attempts to
wrest game from the Rock Island
''Y" men, but fell short each time
although the first two games were
each lost by only six points. For the
entire season, the college scored a
total of 329 points against it's oppon-
ents' 80.
The college easily asserted it's SUI
periority over the local high schools
although Rock Island high managed
to break even in the two games be-
tween the college ond high school,
The collegians attribute this defeat
to poor form, however.
Considered from every point of
view, the college team made a SPLEEN
did record, considering the low ebb
of enthusiasm for athletics at Angus
tana on account of the restrictions
on intercollegiate contests. The
team trained without the aid of
coach, but showed marked improve
ment in form as the season progress
ed Financially, too, the season has
been a good one for the athletic as
