TOT OF 3 STARTS TO
VISIT DAVENPORT
Little Ralph Hall Picked Up by Ferry
Crew ON Ambitious Expedi-
ton.

When the ferry Davenport landed
on one of it's trips this morning mem
bers of the crew noticed a 3-year-old
boy who was alone and who appeared
to have no disposition to go ashore.
He was questioned and it was found
he had run away from home. He said
his name was Ralph Hall and he lived
near Long View park. He was escort
ed up town on this side, and was later
taken home by M. d. Mclaughlin. n
neighbor, who recognized him. Little
Ralph, it turned out, had started to
pay visit to Davenport He did not
seem TO think his trip alone was any
thing out of the ordinary. He said he
had come down town without any old
ter person with him several times, and
evidently he had decided it was about
time to see little more of the world

SHOOT POSTPONED
Regimental Rife Contest to Be
Held at Sterling Sunday,
Nov. z.
LOCAL TEAM is ENTERED
Loss of Dave Branch, One of tlse
Crack Members, Will be Sc
Verely Felt.

The regimental rifle shoot which
was planned for next Sunday at Ster-
ling has been postponed one week
under orders from the acting adju-
tant general. The reason for the
postponement is that the range will
be needed by the men from the COM
panies located in Sterling and Dixon
who have not yet completed their
record scores for this year. The
range season closes Sunday and after
that the range will be available for
the use of the regimental rifle teams.
The chances of the local teams
lifting the regimental cup diminish
ed considerably yesterday when it be-
came known that Sergeant Dave
Branch, one of the best rife shots
in the state, had decided to go west
before the shoot takes place. Ser
geant Branch was one of the strong
men on the team and his loss will
be greatly felt.

BIG GAME WILL
Be PLAYED HERE
West Ends of Moline and West
Ends of Davenport Meet
Sunday.
SELECT EXPOSITION PARK
Contest Will Take Place on Neutral
GrOunds-NIoline Team Aims
to Have Clear Title.

The West Ends of Moline, the win
ners in the contest played Sunday
with the East Ends of Moline, will
play game in this city next Sunday,
although not against a local team.
The West Ends of Davenport, who
claim a right to contest for the tri-
city championship title, will be the
opponents of the Moline boys and
another good game is looked for.
Early in the season the Davenport
team played the East Ends of Moline
to tie, o 10 y. and since that time
they claim to have strengthened
somewhat. In case the Iowans
should succeed in defeating the Mo-
liners, or even holding them to a
small score, it will give the Maroons
of this city a chance to try to re-
claim the honors which the Rock Is
land Independents lost recently when
they went down before both the Mo-
line teams. The Maroons held the
Davenport team to 0 to score and
they feel confident of their ability
to make either of the Moline teams
hump some to beat them. Sundays
contest will practically decide wheth-
er this city will have another look at
the championship title or not.
Aim to Defeat Locals.
The West Ends of Moline have ex-
pressed a desire to play any team in
the three cities which aspires to the
title of tTi-city champions. The rea-
son for this is that the Moliners want
a clear claim to the title, and they
feel that the proper way TO get this
is to put all the claimants out of the
running rather than to depend upon
comparative scores. Because of this
desire, the Moliners will play in this
city Sunday rather than go to Mus
catine, where they are badly wanted.
Tie Muscatine management has made
all kinds OF offers in order to get
the prospective tri-citY champs down
there, not because they think they
could defeat the Moliners, but be-
cause they would be a great drawing
card. This had no weight with the
West Ends, however, and they have
decided to play here.
Game at Exposition Park.
The Moliners and the Davenporters
will play at Exposition park on the
new gridiron which was laid off there
for the high school team and which
is one of the best in the west. The
contest will be of considerable inter-
est locally because of the presence
of three Rock Island players on the
Moline team. There ought to be
large crowd out for the game because
the Moline contingent will be down
in force and a goodly number will
come from Davenport, while this city
will furnish a majority of the root
ers. Local followers of the game are
anxious to see the Moline team play
because its work in the game last
Sunday stamped it as one of the
best Independent football teams
which has ever represented any Of
the three cities and it's plays go off
with smOothness and power which
makes it a pleasure to watch it. The
game will commence at o'clock.

WARMED OVER

DanvilIe baseball promoters have
decided to organize an association AMI
sell stock, holding the majority among
the members OF the Hundred Thousand
club, so as to retain control.
The national commission censures
the National Association of Minor
Leagues for carrying on the reserve
list the na;ues of Sc players who have
been sold to the mayor leagues and
to which, as result the microbes
have no longer a title. Secretary Far
rell is instructed to strike out the
names. Time was when the minors
thought it better to include the names
of sold and drafted players in theiI
reserve list as a measure of precau-
ton, but baseball is so thoroughly or.
ganized now that it is no longer con-
sidered running a risk to drop them

him.
Decatur has begun to prick up It's
ears at the talk of a redistricting of

move a chance to land a team once

Both games were really fast and drew
a large crowd of fans. The Athletic

The following from the Maui News:
Those interested in racing will meet at
the Maui Hotel next Tuesday evening
the 18th, and viii change certain of the
bylaws and will begin the work that
will result in bringing all of the horses
of note to Maui next fourth of July
and give Maui first place in racing cir
cles where her honesty and square deal
ing in the past entities her to be. Maui
is not too far from either Oahu or
Hawaii to attract horsemen while a
trip during the holidays for residents
to Maui Of those islands should be as
thoroughly enjoyed as is visit of resi-
dents of Maui to either of our sister
islands.
Mani is to be the racing center of
the Territory and next Fourth of July
will see the best races here that we
have ever enjoyed.
