HIGGINS TO TRY
TRADE WITH CUBS
Cardinal Pilot Visits Murphy
and a Deal May Be An
nounced Later.

Chicago, Ill. Dec. 30.-A Cub-Cardi
nal trade is now making the biggest
noise on the baseball rialto, outside
OF the Federal league doings. The
chances for such a swap were helped
yesterday by the appearance of Miller
, Higgins. the st. Louis pilot, at Cub
headquarters.
AS soon as Hugg's presence was an
nounced by Al and Otto, the Cardinal
pilot was ushered into the private
sanctum of Charles Webb Murphy,
well-known David Harum. Manager
ENers of the Cubs completed the gath
ering and after two hours of talking
scribes were admitted. whereupon a
lot OF funny stories of the diamond
were related. For some unknown rea-
son it never occurred TO anyone to
mention anything pertaining to live
news.
While Murphy in an off-hand way
tried to impress the news mongers
with the fact that a trade was far from
likely something may be gi-en out to-
day. The Cub boss has a failing for
sporting extras, and this is why we
sprung this afternoon.
Huggins came here for the purpose
of trying for trade and admitted it
Names were not mentioned, however,
so it is a question who will figure in a
swap should one be made.
Besides visiting with Murphy and
Evers. the Cardinal pilot talked shop
with Jack Hendricks, recently appoint
ed manager OF the indianapolis club.
In a few days an announcement will
be made that Steve Evans for several
years a fly chaser with the Cards, has
been sold TO the Hoosiers. Evans, who
is tn inventor OF a square pea guar
anteed not TO roll off the knife, is now
with the world tourists. If he learns
of his released from st. Louis he is
liable to attempt TO swim back by way
of celebrating.
The man on whom Murphy and
Evers have their eyes is Jack Robin
son, a young southpaw pitcher. He
was one of FIVE pirates figuring in the
recent swap with st. Louis, and both
the West Side boss and manager have
a liking for him at different
times Last season he gave the Cubs
any number of tough battles. and
there was much surprise locally when
it was announced that Manager Fred
Clarke had allowed the youngster to
depart. "Slim" Sallee would be wei
come also, but there is little chance
to get him unless Murphy is willing TO
part with a couple of good athletes
Who Murphy intends to swap is a
question.

new CLUB STARTS
ATHLETIC LAB0RS
Papoose Iceboat Organization
Plan for Hockey and Bas-
ketball Teams.
TAKE IN NEW MEMBERS
Will Choose New Name at the Next
MeetiHg-Expect to Have Full
Roster in Short Time.

The members OF the Papoose Ice
boat club have a knack at getting at
things and finishing business in a
short, brief way. They demonstrated
this trait last evening, when they took
in several new members, made ar
rangements for two athletic teams and
also found time TO enjoy a little social
session.
The members of the club gathered
at their club rooms at 1905 Twenty
first street. Among the first PROPOSE
tons considered was a new name for
the club. The members contemplate
changing the present name so that it
will be significant of all sports, and a
number of cognomens were presented
by the members last evening. The
monicker for the organization will be
chosen at the next meeting.
Plan Hockey Team.
The Papoose bunch plan to have
some hockey team this year. and last
evening It number of prospective can
didates for the team handed in their
names.
George Stauduhar was chosen cap
tain of the team and the following will
try for places: Claude Kipp. B. Ack-
ley, Mac Stoddard, A. Finnegan, Peter
StaudUhar and Bruce Edwards.
The candidates for the hockey team
will report on the canal on New Years
afternoon for the first practice of tho
season. The manager is anxious to
schedule games and it is thought that
within short while an interesting
card viii have been arranged.
To Have Basketball.
Basketball was also discussed by the
members of the club Bob Ackley was
made captain of the basketball team
and Mac Sroddard, Claude Kipp, r.
Stauduhar. William Gully, Dean In
gals and y. Finnegan are candidates.
Peter Stauduhar had been acting
seCretary-treasurer, and il was decided
to have individuals in each office, SO
Robert Eastland was chosen secretary.
Five new members were taken into
the club. More applications for mem
bership are in, and within a short time
the Papoose Iceboat club, or what
ever its monicker may be later on,
will be travelling at a rapid rate along
with the other societies and clubs of
Rock Island.

minutes after the fall.
In the next fall, which extended over
10 minutes, the grapplers were half
the time on their feet pushing each
other around the mat. Every time
Lewis seemed to gain a hold on Amer
icus the latter squirmed out and easily
arose TO his feet. The men were never
on the mat longer than three minutes
during the entire fall.
After three minutes Lewis secured a
bar arm and put Americas on the mat,
but Schoenlein arose after being un-
der for only a minute.
After five minutes of wrestling
Americas went on top, but quickly fell
into a head lock. He broke this grip
and once more the men were on their
feet. At the twelve minute mark
Americas got a waist lock and again
Lewis slipped "A head lock on him.
The Fastener appeared TO be in
precarious position at this time, but
after Juggling and pulling finally broke
the grip and again the men came TO
their feet
Six minutes late Lewis went on top,
but only for few seconds, as Amer
ious shifted from underneath him and
went behind. At twenty-four minutes
Lewis again obtained a head lock, but
by jumping Americas squirmed out.
Three minutes later the Stranger re
peated this hold, but was unable TO
follow it up. At thirty minutes the
men were again on their feet
After thirty-five minutes Americas
secured his crotch hold. but Lewis
squirmed out before the Fastener was
able to follow it up. A minute later
Lewis again put on a deadlock and
Americas broke it. Americas attempt
ed to work on his opponents leg and
easily walked out OF Ills arms. Amer
icus appeared tired al this time.
Four times after thirty min
ltes of wrestling Lewis went behind
his opponent with waist lock holds. but

OF Mr.. Wotherspoons system were thus already

that was necessary was to tap the air supply sys-

the supply duct leading to any desired compart-
ment at the same time closing the exhaust vent
Thus compressed air under perfect control could
be led into the flooded chamber and the water
quickly expelled
