ILLINI CHAMPIONS
OF CITY OF MOLINE

By defeating the West Ends yester-
day at Browning field, Moline, the IL
lini won the title of city champions of
Moline The game was a hard fought
one, as the close score, IL TO Z.
indicates. Neither team was very
successful in carrying the ball and the
breaks of fortune favored the IIlin1.
Each team made a touchdown by in
tercepting forward passes and running
20 yards or whereabouts to the goal
line. The Illini made the winning
touchdown when Fullback Wolters of
the West Ends fumbled when attempt
ing to punt from behind his own goal
line and an Illini player fell on the
hall

The Moline Olympics came, saw
and were conquered yesterday after
noon at Island City park, the Rock Is
land Independents keeping up their
record of consecutive victories by TAX
ing the measure of the visitors by a
score Of 80 to 0, a score similar to
that made in the high school contest
on the same grounds the day before.
Though the score fails to show it, the
visitors put up the best opposition
that the Independents have had this
year and the game was one we'll worth
witnessing. The local players had
considerable weight advantage, but
ibid not make use of it, prefering to
gain on end runs, forward passes and
trick plays. The Olympics never
threatened to score, but at times
showed ability to gain and continual
ly worried the locals defense. The
Moliners put up a dandy defensive
game and often threw the Indepen-
dents for losses.
FAST MEN STAR.
Fast men appeared in both teams
and kept the play interesting all the
time. For the Independents, Ted
Davenport was the shining light with
long end runs which rarely failed TO
gain ground. E. Swanson and Kuehl,
half backs for the Moline team, put
up dandy games apd were hard to
stop while Seis at fullback was a bear
on defense. MacManus, quarterback
for the Independents, pulled off sew
eral of his sensational broken field
runs but neither counted in the scor
ing. Just at the close of the second
half he ran 40 yards on a fake kick
formation and carried the ball to with
in foot of goal. The whistle ended
the half before it could be forced over.
Towards lie close of the second
half, he II another sensational run
from a ar formation but it was
unavailin Art Salzmann, at fullback,
bucked IL line hard but found it like
a stonewall most of the time. Cole
man played a great defensive game at
center and often mussed up the op-
ponents' plays before they were start
ed. The showing of the rest of the
team was up to the standard. One of
the prettiest plays of the day was a
forward pass of fully 80 yards from
MacManus to Swanson of the hide
pendents, the play netting a touch
down after a short run. The pass
was perfect, the Moliners failed in
their efforts to block it, Swanson
caught it, held it and raced over the
| line with no one to hinder.

Talk Of Changing
Hours Of Games

II II is decided to call the games at
$40 instead Of s:5 at Rourke park this
season the innovation ought to have some
attractive features. and yet. It must be
remembered. that many fans so TO q
game which begins at the later hours who
would not or could not as conveniently
attend at the earlier hour. The turn
stiles at Pas park show that the park
really fills up between s:S and s;tS. This
may be but n matter Of education. Pos.
slbly when the fans get accustomed TO
800 they will be on hand earlier. But
the time Is not to be fixed to suit the
whims or convenience OF any one or two
persons. II is the largest number to be
accommodated. The $50 plan has this
great advantage-it enables men and
women both TO get to their evening din
ners n little carrier. and this has been
urged as a strong point, though, OF
course. the average fan, II he really Is a
fan. would never kick on staying over
the time every day to see an extra inning
game. As. a matter Of fact $50 Is the
popular hour in many cities. and even
on the big circuits they are calling games
at 3. which lets the crowds get away at
least by as a rule.

how II came TO have Its present limited
application TO mere incompetency. But
though the word has now happily lest
Its suggestion Of moral obliquity and a
duffer may now be and usually Ia. n
most respectable and amiable person
still. on the golf green, some taint Of
ancient odlum hangs about the name.
It Is still term OF opprobrium. and II
the duffer no longer excites sioathing and
disgust. he yet proyokes a measure Of
pity and even contempt. suffering Is the
badge OF all his tribe. He Is the parish
OF the golf links. Rank. intellect. amia-
bility OF character. age or infirmity may
be held as extenuating to some extent
the circumstances of his condition and
may soften In some cases the treatment
he receives. but a. q rule he Is stunned
and execrated by his more fortunate fel-
lows.
The Duffer's Class.
His goifing incapacity dooms him ir-
revocably TO the society Of those OF his
own golfing status. Here and there
royal parsonage. distinguished public
man or a literary lion may be graciousiy
admitted for round In company with
the best goifing talent. but let not such
persons deceive themselves. To the lynx
eye OF the golfer no person no matter
how rich or great or talented they may
be as they stand before him, they are
only duffers-only this and nothing more.
Golf he never so badly. the duffer can
always find some one whom he may
beat. some other duffer whose incapa-
city Is equal to or greater than his own.

gold momento placed TO dangle for all

With all his vagaries and foibles there
are some who have a sneaking fondness
for the genuine duffer. and by genuine
duffer Is meant the man who started a.
duffer and who remains one In spite
OF years Of experience. The duffer who
has fallen from better things Is always
a pathetic spectacle, like the landiady
who has seen better days. and like her
in his dealings with you he makes the
fact an excuse for making you see worse
ones.
