Dope on Maet Uncertain.

Advance dope on the meet is more
uncertain this year than ever before,
because of the large number of schools
entered. There are now twenty-three
in the fold and it means that the points
will be badly chopped up Wednesday
The Gate City estimated the points
which the winner would make at eiglI-
teen. This must be cut down to six
teen with the two additional schools.
Biggsyille looks like a strong con-
tender again this season. Pittsfield
is looked upon as a school of strength,
and it is predicted that Lewis, the
colored athlete, alone will win ten
points for his school. Iowa City sends
a good squad, and is expected to figure
strongly in the middle-distance runs.
Local dopesters figure that tho big
fight of the day will be in the half-mile,
which is now considered one of the
most entertaining events of track
meet program There will be a great
array of talent of known quality.
Chuck" King will carry the colors of
the Keokuk High school, Davis will
be in tho race from Averyville and
Yates will be here from Galesburg. In
addition, several other schools are
represented by stars in this particular
event. King has worked well this
week and looked especially coed to
the purple and white followers

Mr. Hoffer will meet other officials
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and
arrange details of the meet The Of
fetal has had wide experience in
track work o. this kind and promises
to uphold his reputation as a speed
artist in running off events. He will
leave in the evening for Des Moines.
1t is understood that Hoffer proposes
to start the pole vault Immediately af-
ter the meet begins. Very few athletes
are entered in this event who do
sprirting. The event is the longest
on the card and this disposition is a
good one.

WHO CAN
DEFEAT THE
ATHLETICS?

The appended from Otto Floto, or
the Denver Post, is OF interest. Floto
saw the worlds series games. and,
being of the big league circuit, his
views are not prejudiced. Floto says:
After watching the Athletics In the
worlds series just closed. II is hard
TO figure any team IN the American
league that will beat them out OF tho
championship next year. Other teams
in that organization will probably
make them fight harder for the title
In 1911 than they were compelled To
fight this year but, unless something
awful happens to their pitchers | can't
figure but that they will again be In
the fight for the worlds title next fall.
The Cubs will have TO do IA wonderful
lot OF strengthening II they are to
again be the opponents OF Mack's men
for the first honors I'm baseball There
are several members that must be
replaced. They have outllved their
usefulness as members OF that team.
Age will not be denied. and players
who are just being beat out by that
"one step" must realize that year
ago they were equal 10 the emer-
gency and landed safely on base
they fail to reach when they try for
II now.
The pitching stan OF the Cubs is
nothing To be afraid Of The men are
through. They must be replaced by
younger men. who can carry the pace
from beginning TO end OF the game.
This was best illustrated in the last
game, when Brown was as good as
he ever was in the first seven innings.
then blew up" This was because he
tired. Would he have tired few
years ago? Not much, His youth
would have enabled him TO retain his
strength 10 the end Of the game.
That's Mack's big asset. His team

ception OF Davis and Hartsel. all his
players are young men. that can stand
the bTunt OF battle from start TO nm.

Some day great third major
League is going TO loom up across the
baseball horizon but IL isn't coming
today nor yet tomorrow. But, it's
coming
The recent activities of David
Fletcher. OF Cincinnati, has created
more or less discussion as TO the
merits OF baseball organizations as
conducted at the present time. One
of Fletcher's pet talking points-all
his efforts thus far have been talk
is the poor downtrodden player who
is enslayed by grasping magnate.
In the new league. Fletcher tells EN-,
everything is TO be milk and honey,
abse hits and pie three times a day
Some of the athletes seem 10 have
fallen for this bunk, along with the
Players Union idea. For US. we fail
TO see where the poor athlete is very
downtrodden. He makes in six months
as much money as the average pro
fessional man gets in year. and dur
ing the other six months can be en-
ployed as he sees At. adding further
to his stipend which runs from $4,000
to $4,000 per annum. A few OF the
bigger stars drag down from $4,000
TO 900 per six months, but the aver
age pay is not so great.
BY taking good care of ones self,
and observing the rules of right liv-
ing and training, there is no reason
why a professional ball player should
not stick in the major league ten
years. During that period he should
have saved twice the amount possible
TO man of equal age in any other
profession and more than the clerk
could hope TO accumulate in a life
time OF conscientious effort and rigid
economy.
OF course, the magnate doesn't let
loose the fat salary from out the good
