(By George Fitch, Ragtime Essayist of
the Kansas City Starr
Football is an effort on the part of
"A shin guards to occupy the same
place at the same time. 1t is classed
as a game. but looks more like a
clinic. 1t is called football because the
ball is about foot long

somewhere near twice that number to
keep them in repair. An automobile

had to go into the back shop for a

jects used in the game beside the play

The football is used in the game to

ball is, there is no more peace than

take the ball down the field to The goa

knives, battering rams, or dynamite
Those who have seen a good football
team in action will realize how little
these things are needed anyway.

progress down the field. A football

NOTES

Waterloo Courier: Well. the board
of arbitration might have adopted
war child by considering the Water
loo case. That's what board of arbi-
tration is for. some people think, but
the deeper We go the less respect Is
engendered ty the forces that be In
baseball. Taking it by and
large the dismissal of Waterloo's petit
ton by the board of arbitration was
the best thing that could be done. In
either event the matter would heye
been presented to the national COM
mission. The days of doubt and ex-
pectation are not over yet.
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 29.-Orvie
Overall, the giant pitcher of the Cubs,
threw his arm out while pitching for
Stockton against Oakland at Free
mans park. He was obliged to quit
the game in the sixth inning, and his
arm bothered him considerably, be-
coming swollen and painful. Tbs is
the second time overall has expert
enced the same sort of injury, the
first one occurring while he was with
Chicago. He is inclined to think this
will wind up his pitching career At
all events, he told friends here he
thought he would be obliged to visit
the Youngstown, Ohio, physician who
treated the arm on the former occa-
sion.

TEARNEY PASSES
WATERLOO PUNCH
Three Eye President Declares
Reed Has Not Played
Game on Square.
TRIES TO UPSET LEAGUE
Decatur Also WallOped on Charge
That 1t Is Also Seeking to
Cause Trouble.

President A. R. Tearney of the
Three-Eye league is peeved at the at
tempt of the Waterloo Baseball asso-
citation to organize a new ball circuit.
In an interview with the sporting edi-
tor of the 2oria Star, the peeved one
is quoted as follows:
81 had no intimation as to how the
matter was settled until | read Score,
tary FarreIs report in the Friday morn
ing papers," declared Tearney. 1T
seems, however, that Reed had ad-
vance notice that the board of arbitra.
ton had dismissed the Waterloo plea
for recognition as member of the
ThTee-Eye league and Thursday evening
he took occasion to give out an inter.
view in which he stated Waterloo
has decided to abandon its fight for a
place in the "hree-Eye league owing &c
it's demoralized condition and the fact
that sportsmanlike baseball cannot be
expected in a league Differed as it is
a present
TERMS REED NO SPORTSMAN.
knowing, as he apparently did
that the board of arbitration had de
cided against Waterloo, Reed failed
to show one atom of sportsmanship
in giving out the statement he did
especially after he and l had agreed
to abide in a fair and square manner
with any decision the board might
make.
THE Three-Eye league is not in G
demoralized condition, Reed knows
that himself Prospects for a success
full season ahead were never brighter
in league history than they are today
Dubuque and Davenport are with us
and Rock Island difficulties will be
settled before long. Bloomington is
coming along in fine shape, and l ex
pect news from Springfield within the
next few days. Decatur appears to be
with Waterloo in disturbing present
conditions, owing to a selfish desire
| 10 take over a franchise. Decatur
would have little difficulty in securing
franchise, if that city could show
where they could deliver the good:
any better than any other city in the
| league.

ROWLING Non Es.

-oS-
BOWLING non Es.
Side line seats at the Deisenroth
alleys should be occupied by bowling
fans. for that series between the indie
pendents and Colts will be hummer.
DR.. Mueller rolled a very pretty
21S pins for one game. He scared up
to SIS for the three games, second
high score Of the evening.
Patting's work for the Colts was
phenomenal He rolled 615 and came
close to John Wichs record Of last
week.
Salzmann was the low Colt with 500
and E. WITCH was next with Sic.
Louie Harms coached the mdepend-
ents from the side lines last night, for
q week ago he made only 433 pins. He
told his teammates how to avoid the
low mark. He will be back in the
game next week and intends to make
a record for himself.
Huston was on top of the bunch that
bowled at the Harms AS usual, he
went over the 500 mark and led his
team on to victory. DR.. Soule was
next with sos.
The Pretzels, though they are hope
lessly ensconced in the bottom notch
in the race, are having as good time
out of the games as the other teams.
Ruths won the high score medal of
the Pretzels last night with AS pins.
Hueckstedt was close second with
E443. Meisner won consolation money
with 344 pins.
The Independents say that they mere
ly saved up last night for next week.
while the Colts maintain that they only
displayed small part of the form that
they intend to exhibit next week.

Those who were in charge OF the af-
fair say the match was on the square
and the best man won. 1t was clever

We will work to win and expect to do
so. although we realize that it will
mean we mr~t play hard every minute.
We saw Ro x Island defeat Moline after
the game appeared lost ana We know
what 70 expect from the gritty high
school players"
It Is evident from the statements of
coach and captains Of the contending
teams in tomUrrOw's big contest al
Island City park that the game is go
ing to be a hard fought one. Both
teams are in excellent trim and ready
for the closing contest of the year. a
victory for Rock Island on top of the
defeat of Moline will mark the year
as a most successful one and even if
defeat comes it will be no disgrace
for the Davenport Collegians have
demonstrated that they have a strong
team.

A marked scarcity of killing cattle
is beginning to make itself felt in all
markets and the active demand for
feeders. which recently made its APP
pearance, has enlarged the scope OF
the market greatly and made the de.
mand general for all kinds of cattle.
There are still large districts which
are suffering from the drouth but con
