WHAT OTHERS THINK

Outplayed on the defensive, the So
Gals dropped the game yesterday at
Lake View park to the Rock Island In
dependents by score of II to 6. The
game was stubborniy contested and
was intensely interesting to several
hundred fans who watched the affair.
Star work by the Rock Island back
field and an almost impenetrable line
gave the northern team the victory
and no one will say that it was not
deserved.
Quarterback MacManus of the Rock
Island squad was easily the star of
the game. his terrific smashes at the
Social line being responsible for
gains, time after time. Captain Cady
and Quarterback McClugage were the
most consistent ground gamers for the
local team, both making desperate eff
forts to stave of a defeat and batter
ing away at the visitors line endeav-
oring to find a weak spot. Cady's
plunging was directly responsible for
the lone tally of the locals.-Peoria

We ARE NOW AT
LIBERTY TO TALK
Peoria Dispatch Says There Is
Nothing to Stop Rock Island
Gossips.

A Peoria dispatch asserts that there
is nothing to stop the Rock Island
Gossips" from mentioning the option
held by the South Bend men as being
that on the franchise of the Distillery
city in the Three-Eye league. Rock
Island bugs will be glad to know, of
course, that they are now free to &C
cuse Peoria of being tempted to sell
and very likely will take advantage
of the privilege. Fans, shout your
heads OF!
The dispatch is as follows:
Dispatches out of South Bend. Ind,
informing the populace that an OPP
ton on a Three-l league franchise has
been secured by prominent business
men in that city, has stirred up a
great deal of speculation around the
Three-Eye league circuit
From Bloomington comes the story
that the option is on the Springfield
club; Decatur says that it is the Dan
vile club that is dickerinG with the
Indianians, while Danville up and says
that rumor has it that Decatur is the
town that would release its club. We
are now awaiting word from Spring
field to the effect that Bloomington is
the franchise in question. while there
is nothing to prevent Rock Island gos-
sips from mentioning the DIstillers in
the matter.

TO BOOST
CROWD At GAME
President Tearney of Three
Eye Wants Business Men as
Sponsors in Each Town.

President Tearney is said to be
working on a plan to boost the at
tendance in the Three-Eye league.
He wants every town to produce Sc
sponsors, businessmen who will boost
the attendance on one day, Sundays
and holidays to be excluded.
The firm pulling the biggest week
day crowd to receive a handsome
trophy. While this may not appeal
to some merchants at once, they will
recognize the value of the plan if they
will consider it carefully.
The association barely makes ex-
penses if il is lucky. If it is unlucky
it goes into the hole. but whether the
association makes or loses money,
the business man makes his profit on
the additional trade brought to town
through the league team. Why, there
fore. should not the businessmen feed
the goose that lays the golden egg?
Every business man will have to
boost but one game a season and that
is not asking very much. The eX-
pense is no factor at all, while the
and increased business
made it a proposition that none can
turn down.

rotary Bartlett is attending TO the

some elixir into baseball locally, but
there is nothing doing in the way OF
news. Manager Kahl is not writing
daily letters and neither are the

other of season topics that usually
fill the sport columns.
While there is nothing doing. some
thing may happen. Few people re-
member that some time ago the local
association was sued for the money

struction of the new stand and

BIC nine" WILL
LOSE MANY STARS
This Season the Percentage of
Third Year Men Was Great
est in History.

Real tears were narrowly averted
in the fotball camps of the conference
colleges yesterday when the coaches
took their annual inventory of stock
for 1914. Distress signals flashed
through the big nine" strongholds as
the mentors added up the number of
stars who have finished their gridiron
career. The total of the college heroes
who laid their moleskins away for
good in Saturdays games was the
largest in the annals of the modern
game.
The leadig big nine" institutions
were harder hit than many of the
other big schools. The big percentage
of three-year men who adorned the
gridiron this year was partly respon-
sible for the phenomenal class of the
football played throughout the season,
but the comeback was hardly realized
until the final meeting of the teams.
Every college in the conference sent
out a regretful account of the stars
who will play no more.
Coach Stages champion Maroons
are by no means the only ones affect
ed by the record breaking exodus OF
experts. The Midwayites, however.
will have a hard time making up for
the loss of the eight players who sang
their swan song against Wisconsin.

college football are Captain Norgren,
