Star Center Buries the Ratchet
and Returns to Fold
Will Play Soon.

Leroy Philbrook, star center of the
red and gold squad, who quit the team
because Of alleged differences with
Coach Corneal, has decided to call off
the strike and get back into the har-
ness. One game on the sidelines was
enough for him.
Philbrook walked out last Friday,
notifying the coach tina he was
through with the team. Three other
players quit at the same time, which
gave rise TO a strike rumor. 1t was
later announced by school authorities
that the withdrawal of the last three
men had no connection whatever with
Philbrook's case.
You can say for me-" said Phil
brook yesterday, that everything has
been patched up and ! am returning
because I want to help out the team.
That is my only reason"

.TITULAR CLASH
IN ROCK ISLAND
Olympic Independent Contest
to Be Played at Island City
Park Sunday.

The postponed game between the
Moline Olympics and the Rock Island
Independents, scheduled for last Sun
day, will be played AT Island City park
next Sunday, according TO the an
nouncement of Manager Roche last
night. There was an effort made TO
secure Browning field but as the Illini
club demanded SIS, the negotiations
were called off.
That the game will be one of the
most fiercely contested in tri-city
football circles is the prediction of the
rooters. Both teams are undefeated
and both are contenders for the state
title. There seems to be a lack OF
confidence in the Olympic team on the
part OF Moliners, and some predict a
90 to score with ali the points on
the Rock Island end of the string.
The Olympics have cancelled their
$50 bet on last Sundays postponed
contest and refuse to allow the wager
to stand for the impending clash
They are unwilling to take even money
and the tie advantage, with the con
test staged on alien territory.

SULLIVAN WOULD
DELAY BIC GAMES
American Commissioner Asks
Weeks Postponement of
Olympic Contests.

New York, Oct. 2S.-James Z. Sulli-
van. American Olympic commissioner,
announced yesterday that he would re-
quest the German Olympic commits
sion, on behalf of the United States
team, to postpone the opening of the
Olympic games at Berlin in 1916 at
least one week. According TO cables
received from Berlin the opening event
in the track and field program is set
for July l.
This date would prove handicap to
the American team, according to Mr..
Sullivan, since it would require the
United States representatives TO sail
before the closing of the American
colleges and universities from which
many members of the 1916 team are
expected to be recruited. In discussing
the conditions Mr.. Sullivan said.
1T was the original intention of the
German Olympic committee to open
the track meet about the middle of
June. When ] was abroad last sum,
mer explained the situation from an
American standpoint and requested a
later date. The German committee
evidently made a concession to US, but
even to open the games on July l will
work hardship on our team in 1916
The Stockholm games began on
July 6. and a similar, date at Berlin
would be far more acceptable Close
to 80 per cent of the team will be
college students, some of whom will
be graduated in the spring of that year
In many cases it would be impossible
for them to leave college before june
Is or later. To sail on that or later
date would put the team into Berlin
with little or no time for final train
! ing"
The football and hockey champion
ships are to be contested on May rs
and June respectively and the row
| ing On Aug. II. The date for the sail
! ing, golf, etc, have not yet been fixed

ONE MORE WHITE

Sam Langford Stops Jack Les
ter in Fourth Round at Taft,
California.

Taft, Cal, Oct 2S.-Sam Langford
of Boston, the veteran negro heavy
weight, demonstrated conclusively
here yesterday that Jack Lester OF
Gle Elum, Wash, had no right co en-
list in the army Of white hopes. The
two met in a boxing bout scheduled
for 20 rounds, and Lester was knock
ed down for the count of seven in the
second round.
In the third he landed his only blow
of the whole fight, glancing swing
TO the mouth that drew blood, but did
not harm. In the fourth he was
knocked down three times, and was
saved from being knocked out by the
bell
When the gong rang for the fifth he
was still SO groggy that he could or
would net arise from his chair. and

MICHIGAN BACK
IN Difference?
Return to Fold to Be Voted
Upon by Undergraduates,
Alumni and Faculty.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 2S.-Michi
gan students, alumni and faculty, will
be given an opportunity to register
their opinions on the Michigan inter-
collegiate conference question as re-
suit of a campaign inaugurated yes
terday morning by the Michigan Daily,
the student publication of the univer-
sity.
The vote will be taken on Nov. 8,
and 3 and will be conducted under
board consisting of one pro-conference.
one anti-conference and one neutral
member. The results Of the vote,
which is to be by signed ballots, will
be placed before the Michigan board
of regents at its meeting TO be held on
Nov. IA in this city. According to the
action of the athletic board of control
at its session on Oct. IL the entire
question of Michigan's attitude toward
the conference has been put in the
hands of the regents, and for this rea-
son the results of the vote will go to
that body.
II is believed that should the stu

sentiment in favor of return to the
conference that the regents will imme-
diately take action looking toward an
official communication to the confer
ence governing board. Should the vote
show sentiment adverse to a return
the question, according to those close
TO the situation, will be closed for
! years to come and Michigans activi,
! ties will be centered in competition
with eastern schools.
The recent adverse action of the
! boards of regents of several of the
conference are not looked upon ask
ance by those who favor an imme,
date opening up of negotiations with
! the western schools. According to
these the home rule resolutions OF
the Michigan regents were sent to the
western boards more as feeler than
under the belief that favorable action
would follow. 1t is thought that the
attitude of the western schools has
not been changed from it's former
open door" policy by the recent Mich
igan resolution, but that any future
proposals will be given a thoughtful
reception

the Socials to its credit this season.
But McCluggage's lads put up re-
markably fine defense against the in
yaders yesterday, and while Moline
threatened on one or two occasions, the
Socials held we'll at all times and no
score was the result.
Play during the greater part of the
game was in midfield with old-style
football in operation. No sensational
gains were made, a lone forward pass
to Cady that netted the Socials 20
yards in the first period being the eX-
tent of open play. a slippery ball pre-
vented the use of the forward pass
following the first period.
Cady played the best game for the
Socials, while the work OF the back
field featured the play of the visi-
tors.-Peoria Star.

A Dish of Tea.

"Dish" throughout the eighteenth
century was a colloquialism for cup. In
fashionable houses at first, and for
long, tea was drunk from cup with
out handle brought from China. The
vessel was termed dish. When the
Chinese cup was first copied by Eng
Iish potters. the convenience of a han
die was added. The saucer also was
brought from China. 1t received the
name because of its resemblance to
the English saucer, platter in which
sauce was served The familiar gibe,
saucer eyes," was originally inspired
by the sauce saucer long before Lord
Arlington gave the first tea party In
England In Arlington house, where
buckingham palace stands. at the res.

Trophies That Are Souvenirs Of Long

Flags that were captured In now for

Two of these souvenirs Of forgotten
battles are British hags. One Is a

BATHING A PRINCE.

He Done It."
George ". while prince and resid
ing in his Brighton palace kept in his
bedroom a portrait of Mrs. Gum, an
old bathing woman who used TO dip
him into the sea when he was the
little Prince of Wales. A picture book
much priced by children in England
in those days showed the old lady
bathing the little fellow. Beneath the
picture was this stanza:
To Brighton came he.
Came George the Thirds son,
To be dipped in the sea
BY the famed Martha Gum.
A companion portrait to Martha
Gums was that of Thomas Sneaker,
who had charge Of the horse which
drew the bathing machines into and
out of the sea. One day the little royal
highness. having learned to swim,
swan out farther than Thomas judged
to be safe. He called to him to come
back, but the self willed boy struck
out with more yigor. Thomas went
after the prince, overlook him, seized
him by an ear and drew him to shore.

Joplin, Mo, Oct 2S.-Sad to relate
Joplin did not really see a ball game
yesterday. although statistics. as they
percolated to the scorer, showed that
the Giants defeated the White Sox,

Walter Johnson pitched for the Sox
for three full innings and then was
relegated to the stable, as he is SEIZED
uled to pitch another four innings to-
day at Tulsa. He did not meet
Mathewson. as Christv refused to take
any chances with the mud, snow and
water and stayed indoors. What
tickled the Giants most was the fact
five hits and two runs were accumu-
lated. Benz followed Johnson, and
Faber took a whirl at it in the final
round. Plenty of hits greeted Bitten,
while Faber escaped.
WEATHER Is ROUGH.
1t was no day for baseball; far from
it. When the travellers arrived here
yesterday morning there was three
inches of snow on the ground. but a
the ravines. Just the same the field
was no place for high priced athletics.
but the local committee. headed by A.
B. Rose of Tulsa, insisted that the
game go on, and it did. The reason
was that something like 1000 people
had demanded &c see the tourists in
action.
The stand was filed at the start and
the rest piled out on the field. where
they got into the way of everything
! that sailed behind second base. The
managers agreed to call anything
which went into the crowd two-base
hit, hence the fleshy column of two
baggers. AS a matter of fact. it did
not make much difference what, how
or where the ball was hit, the fielders
had slim chances of getting it, and
that accounts for the run column.
The SoX started out something
scandalous. After Weaver had passed
away Rath singled, Speaker doubled
and Crawford put the ball over the
right field fence for a home run, all
of which was good for three runs.
McGraw, not wishing to risk any of his
stars, put in Hearne when he saw
Johnson warming up. The 10 hits
tells what happened to the southpaw.
ADDING MACHINE NEEDED.
Doubles aud singles came too often
for the comfort of the crowd, as it
took too much lodging. The Stats
tics show that Mattick scored in the
second and that Speaker and Craw-
ford tailed in the fifth. Benz, Weay-
er and Rath crossed the pan in the
sixth. ard this saw the finish of
Hearne. Fromme took up the bur
den at this stage, but he was nicked
for four hits and three runs in the
ninth when the Sox only needed one
TO tie.
The Giants opened up on Johnson
in the third when Meyers put the ball
over the ropes for a double. Weaver
wobbled on Hearne's tap. but Snod-
grass struck out Magee's double
sent IN Meyers and Hearne and this
wound up the scoring off Walter.
The Giants perpetrated one run In

the sixth and wound up the chilly mat

ceased beating, then throbbed on vo-

There was a glimmer of a summer
gown under the trees; a. figure passed
from shadow to sunshine, and again
into the cool dusk of leafy lane.
The pallor of the young mans face
changed; heavy flush spread from
forehead to neck; he strobe forward,
dazed, deafened by the tumult of his

When at length he reached the hill,
he found her seated in the shade of
