 Ernest Thompson Seton is the origin ator of the boy scout propaganda. He organized Seton's Indians. who have since consolidated with the boy scouts. Seton now being chief scout. Another leader is Dan Beard. who organized the Sons of Daniel Boone. an associa ton of American boys having the same aims and objects as Seton's Indians. General Baden Powell has organized boy scouts in England. The English organization is more military in char acter than the American.

There is a question among some OK
the stockholders of the Rock Island

will retain their interests in the club
after the close of this season. In
speaking of the situation this morn
ing, L. NJ Casteel, treasurer of the
club, said that IL was his last year in
the game and that he favored selling
the team and the entire plant and
equipment TO other Rock Islanders
who might be willing TO assume the
burden. He went on TO state that II
others do not wish TO finance base
ball in Rock Island. that he would ia
vor selling 10 men in some other city.
He is of the opinion that the other
stockholders would follow this plan. as
the baseball proposition proved a los
ing one this year and last year

President James Mcnamara. when
asked this morning If he intended 70
withdraw from baseball answered In
the negative He stated that he would
retain an interest In the club. though
he might sell some Of his holding.

one in Rock Island offers 10 take over

tice at Exposition park. which is about

bers TO reach their homes much before

new arrangements the boys will have
10 walk only seven blocks TO the field
which will mean a great saving of
