LUTHER DEFEATS
LOCAL COLLEGE
Augustana Students Given Jolt
When Iowa Team Wins from
Islanders.

Students at Augustana college here
were given quite a jolt last night when
a telegram was received from DEBORAH,
Iowa. stating that the fast Augustana
team. contende-s for the state collegi-
ate championship of Illinois, had met
defeat at the hands of the Luther col
lege team by the score of % TO 10.
This is the first game Luther has won
this year and the first Augus;ana has
lost. The effect of the boys long trip
must have hindered their playing to
great extent. The students and fans
here expected an easy victory and the
result comes as a great surprise.
The collegials journey to st. Peter.

the fast Gustavus Adolf hus team in
two games. one tonight and the second

they play the Carthage quintet. In
the meantime the Augustana five will
meet ;he Hedding college team at Abb

Another Rock Island Boy Makes
Good on Diamond and Signs
With Denver.

Ted Anderson, a Rock Island star
of the diamond, and who has made
quite success il the baseball pro-
fession, has been signed by the Den
yer team or the Western league and
Will appear on the diamond with that
team this year. Last year Anderson
performed around the initial sack for
the Fort Wayne team of the Central
league for the largest part of the sea-
son. His star work attracted the at
tention of the Denver scouts with the
result that he has consented to attach
his name to a Western league con-
tract this year.
Anderson was formerly a back lot
player here and that is where he secur-
ed his training. He is a big fellow but
