Evangelist Taylor At The Chris
 tian Church.

tian Church.
 Evangelist J. Murray Taylor preached two excellent sermons at the the Christian church yes- terday The morning address was based upon Peters preaching to the household of Cornelius as recorded in the 10th chapter of Acts.
 MT. Taylor's remarks fell nat urally under two heads, The Ideal Speaker and The Ideal 1 Congregation. He showed how that when Peter preached to Cornelius, the conditions were ideal, for both speaker and hear CTS had been prepared for the occasion by great vision; and how today through Bible study and prayer the preacher and his audience may also receive a vis- ion of their responsibility to the unsaved and a vision of the man. her in which they should ap- preach people when presenting to them the Christ, the Savior of the World.
 Peters congregation was ideal in that all were present, for Cornelius said, "now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God" Not only were they all there, family and friends, but they had come to hear. They had come with unprejudiced, thoughtful, dis eliminating minds willing to hear the things God had com manded.
 At the evening service MT. Taylor spoke on Soul Win ming" illustrating his remarks with Biblical passages such as these: Prov. H:3O "The fruit of the righteous is tree of life; and he that "winneth souls is wise" And Daniel 1928 "They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the Armament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever" This sermon was an appeal to the Christians to do personal work among the unsaved, in order to guide them to the Savior, The speaker gave it as his opinion that those who are not Christians, when approached by their friends tactfully and with sincerity of heart, appreciate the interest thus shown in their welfare. This statement he illustrated with examples cited from his own experience in the ministry.
 Services will be held every ev- ening this week, and everybody is most cordially invited to at tend all the meetings. MT. Tay- Tor is a man of attractive per- sonality is an able speaker, and has come to us with the devOut purpose of working with the Christian people of Newport for the salvation of souls. Come and do what you can to make the meeting a success.

CHAMPIONS LOSE
$4,000 IN 1913
Final Meeting of Year Shows
Big Deficit-Quincy to Vote
for Tearney.

Quincy, H., Oct 6.-While the sea-
son just concluded, wherein the Quin-
cy entries in the Three Lamp race
won the gonfalon handily after a SEN
sational finish, was the most success
full ever experienced by a local club,
the management found a deficit of
$4,000 when they cleared the decks
in the annual meeting.
With a good club during most of
the season, the Champs drew next to
Davenport the largest in the league,
and the support at home was all that
could be expected. 1t was on the road
that the crimp was put in the finances.
1t seems to be the sense of the direc-
tors that the league rules should be
changed to provide for a guarantee in
stead of the present split in gate re-
ceipts, in order that the stronger clubs
may not be obliged to carry the bur
den of the weaker. This change will
be fought for by President OFT Urban
and Harry Hofer at the league meet.
ing.
1t is likely that Urban and Hofer
will cast the one vote of the Quincy
club for President Al Tearney for re
election. In fact, while no statement
has been made. it seems to be thor
oughly understood that the club rep
resentatives will vote for a continue
ton of mis-rule in this league.

TEARNEY Is AGAIN
AFTER PRESIDENCY

Al Tearney, generally reported to
be president of the Three-I league, is
again after the Office. Tearney has
been laying low and has not made a
move while papers around the circuit
have been lambasting the daylights
out of his administration, but at last
the worm has turned
Last night each club owner in the
Three-I league received from Al a
lengthy and yoluminous defense of his
so-called administration. Mister Tear
ney denies charges of extravaganza in
the way of expensive headquarters in
Chicago. He also denies paying high
salaries to umpires. With possibly
one or two exceptions, as to the lat
ter, it vii. be news to Three-I fans
to learn that there were any umpire1
during the 1913 season. Meanwhile,
there has been no call issued for the
fall meeting of the league. The sup
position is that services will be held
in Chicago some time next week.
Late today it was rumored that the
1913 Three-I fielding averages had ap-
pe2red, but an investigation branded
same as falsekood.

the recruits trimmed the Pittsburgh

Although the weather was threat

to look over the youngsters who will

the six-foot Kansas hurler who was
obtained from the Winnipeg club, was
quite the hit of the show. After beat

OLYMPICS DOWN
ILLINI ELEVEN
Score on Forward Pass in Sec
ond Quarter-Hard Fought
Game Ends 60.

In a hard fought contest featured
by the work of Sizes, Olympic right
end and eX-DavenpOrt high school foot
ball star, the Olympics defeated their
old enemy, the Illini club, at Browning
field in Moline yesterday afternoon by
a co score. The touchdown came in
the second quarter after Kuehl and
Stow of the winners had rushed the
ball down the field by long and con-
sistent gains With but a few yards
TO go, Kuehl hurled a forward pass
to Sizes, WHO was standing over the
line, and the score resulted. The goal
was missed.
A disastrous tumble prevented the
Illini eleven from scoring just at the
end of tn. first half. The ball had
been carried to the Olympic 15-yard
line. That slip snatched possible vic,
tory from the Illinois warriors. Both
teams fought on even terms during
the greater part % the contest. Both
we're weak in defense. The Rock
Island Independents play the Him
eleven at Moline next Sunday, and
from the showing made yesterday by
i that aggregation. the struggle will be
q fierce one. The lineup follows:

The wonderful pitching of Christy
Mathewson, called the greatest master
of pitching skill that baseball has pro-
duced, may be the feature of the 1913
worlds series. Matty has had a great
season, and today he is in the best of
trim.
Some of the things that account for
the success of the Big Six and make
him feared by Connie Mack and the
latter's husky proteges, are his mag
nificent physique. remarkable powers
of endurance and baseball intelligence
of high order. With these he perfect
ed the fadeaway, conserved his
strength and catalogued mentally all
the batting peculiarities of his strong
est opponents.

Herbert a Pilot.

That Jack Herbert, who finished the
season of 1913 with the Distillers, will
lead the Waterloo club in the Central
association in 1914 is indicated by the
popularity contest recently conducted
there. Ned Egan, Doss OF the pennant
winning Cttumwas last year, received
the highest number of votes, polling
a total of 527, but Ned has agreed to
bert was his nearest opponent, polling
391 votes, and probably will receive
the job of bossing the club.

Next Sunday Rock Island will in

the fast Illiri club. There is an in
tense rivalry between the two elevens,
and the game should be a "dinger."

face is pretty badly swollen today
but he will be in shape for the next
game.
The weather was of the old-fash-
toned summer variety and altogether
too torrid for real football. The hide
pendents were disappointed at the fail
ure of the Muskies TO show up, and did
not put a whole lot of pep" into their
playing. Different story next Sunday,
however.

Ralph Comstock, the $4,000 hurler,
purchased from Minneapolis by the
Tigers this fall, kept throwing his spit

fine sea dogs and got to the wet one

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 29.-Dodging
from tree to tree and firing as he ran,
Henry Rokowski, who last night shot
and killed Constable Martin Windt and
probably fatally wounded two other
persons at West Homestead. suburb,
held a posse of 200 deputy sheriffs and
citizens at bay in the hills about the
Monongahela valley during the early
hours today. The shots were returned
but Rokowski continued to the woods
to cabin where he barricaded the
doors and windows and fired several
times from a window.
Mrs Estelle Yekbt, who was shot
twice when she refused to admit
Rokowski to her house after he had
killed the constable. was in the Home
stead hospital today, with doctors
holding out little hope for her recov-
cry. Ignatz Raukoski, who went to her
assistance, was also in serious con-
dition.
While the posse lay in the woods,
word was brought from Hays, vii
lage near here, that Rokowski had
been seen going up the Monongahela
valley. Investigation showed the
house was empty, the man having slip
ped away in the fog. County detectives
and deputies started in pursuit of him.
