Presently they turned into tho
grounds Of magnificent estate. There
were miles and miles Of beautiful
roadways; there were dense, shady
woods and game preserves; there were
gardens and acres Of flowers. Then
there appeared through the opening In
the trees a broad stretch Of velvety
lawn, with just enough Of great elms
and oaks set here and there to afford
pleasant shade for the gray stone RAM

them. There were more flowers close
to the house and bright awnings at the
windows.
Mr.. Prentice thought he had never
seen anything so wonderful in the way
of a private estate. The house was
much larger even than the Old Peo-

DisaStrously.

A sailor with vocabulary Of nau-

story of the football game at Clinton
Saturday afternoon in which the Rock
Island team was beaten again on a
fiuke play. made possible by the abund-
ance of water and Shiny mud that had
soaked into the pigskin. The final
score was to 0, and though il does
not show the respective merits of the
two teams, must be taken for its face
value for the standing of the two teams
this year. Neither team was able to
use any formations or trick plays with
any semblance of success, and the No
line scouts who went TO Clinton pur-
pOsely to watch the work of the Is
landeas had to content themselves on
taking points on how to boot a water
soaked ball more than 20 yards to keep
within the rules.
GOOD MEN MISSING.
Both teams were badly handicapped
players from the lineup. Kittilsen and
Wright were two Islanders forced TO
keep within the shelter of the leaky
grandstand of the park, while Lloyd
and Stewart, two of Clinton's stars,
were out. Larkin and Brough took the
places of the Islanders. and though both
put up good games. neither was able
TO quite fill the gap. Kittilsen's head
work and his quarterback runs were
much missed.
GET SIGNALS MIXED.
In the first quarter Rock Island
showed its superiority. Acting Captain
Salzmann won the toss and his men

WEATHER STOPS
CAME AT MOLINE
Contest Between Illini and
Rockford Badgers Has to
Be Called Off.
PLAYING IS IMPOSSIBLE
High Wind and Freezing Cold Not
Agreeable Even to Football
ROOters.

Weather, cold and windy, made it
necessary for the management of the
Moline Illini and Rockford Badgers
to abandon the game scheduled for
yesterday afternoon idn Moline. The
Rockford team arrived in due time
but the high wind aad the low tenn
perature made playing almost i'm
possible. The players would have had
TO put on all the clothes they could
find to keep from freezing and the
spectators would have been Obliged
TO carry stove along to keep warm
so il was thought advisable to stand
the expenses out of the club treas
ury. a close game was expected and
the fans were sorry to see the game
called off.
COULON'S TEAM NEXT.
Next Sunday they will have an op-
portunity to see a game between the
Illini and the Johnny Coulon team
of Chicago. composed principally of
former Illinois university stars.
From the results of the work of the
Chicago team thus far this year, the
Moline eleven expects a hard fight
for victory. Coulon's team has a
reputation as one of the best teams
in Chicago in recent years. The
game will be played next Sunday af-
ternoon at Athletic park, Moline.
