EARL TYREE IS
NOW WITH CUBS
Local Catcher Will Get a Tryout
in Major League Ball This
Season.
GOT INTO GAME YESTERDAY
Backstopped for Two Innings in a
Training Game and Made Good
Showing.

Another local ball player will be
seen in major league uniform this
season if he keeps up his present rec
ord and does not meet with any hard
luck. This player will be no other
| than Earl Tyree, who up until last sea-
son has been playing ball with indie
pendent teams in Rock Island and who
made a good showing in the Illinois
and Missouri league last season.
Tyree joined the Chicago Nationals
at Tampa last week after he was pur-
chased from Terra Haute, which draft
ed him from Champaign during the
drafting season last year. Chicago
sport writer's are strong in their praise
for the local boy and say that he is
one of the most promising catchers
that the Cubs have secured for some
time. Yesterday afternoon Tyree was
given his first chance behind the bat
and although he went only two in
nings he made one putout and one as
sist.
Last Year Record Good.
Tyree secured one of the best rec
ords last season that any catcher in
the I. & NJ. league made. While with
OHdInpdlSH lie play Gu III on games
and had a batting average of .2SS
while his fielding average was .972. He
was credited with $50 putouts, 103 as
sists and only IS errors. His large
number of putouts go to show that he
has one of the best pegs to second of
any of the minor league players and
will give all of the major league boys a
good fight to keep that record.
While with Champaign. Murphy Of
fered $4,000 for him and Pitcher
Utrick. but the offer was turned down.
When drafting season came Terre
Haute drafted the two for 5000 ard
later sold them to the Cubs. The
price that was given for them was not
given out at the time.
Two years ago Tyree played in Rock
Island with the Happy Corner team
and made a good record here. Through
the efforts of a number of local play
ers he was given tryout with Cham
paign and at once showed that he was
too fast for that league. For two years
he worked in Rock Island during the
winter and made number of friends
here.

urday of thic week the first play for
the collegiate honors will start at

The. local boys have captured seven
out of eight conference games played,
the only defeat being suffered at the
hands of Bradley Poly, last years
championship winners. Bradley has
about the same team in the field this

of a showing, now ranking in fifth
place with nine wins out of IA games

Teams in Tourney. =
Although it is not definitely known
as yet which teams will take part in
this weeks tourney at Peoria, it is
thought that Augustana, Wesleyan,
Bradley Poly, Normal, Millikin and I'LL
nois colleges will be represented, with
the dope for final honors in favor of
Augustana. The locals will play hard
to cop the district conference honors
and if they win will represent the
district in the final state tournament
for state honors at Bloomington a

send son or daughter away to school.
A high average church preference al
expressed in a census will weigh lightly
alongside Of the fact that the people OF
Iowa City will tolerate the existence OF
maximum number Of open saloons In
q town whose principal industry is the
educating of other peoples sons and
daughters. The fact that the editor OF
it's prominent daily newspaper will op.
pose all efforts on the part of the state
legislature to drive the open saloon at
least five miles away from the young
mems college, bespeaks a condition OF
public sentiment in that town which
no amount Of church preference or Of
church attendance can conceal.
Nobody will discourage the desire of
the average Iowa City citizen to have q
preference for some church and the fact
that nearly half OF those expressing a
preference for some Protestant church
actually practice their preference by
belonging to q church society would be
worth advertising as an evidence Of a
wholesome civic life and Of a commend
able community ideal were 1t not for
the fact that this same population 50
contentedly keeps open its saloons for
the temptation Of every mans son who
is sent there for the cultivation OF brain
and character.
However, this census is Of value in
that it locates responsibility. The
Catholics lead in Iowa City with 2,34s
preferences. The Methodists come next
with 1896. We all know where the
Methodists stand as to the open saloon
but the question arises are they willing
TO fight for their religion in Iowa City?
Then came the Presbyterians with 6e6,
Christians with SIS. Congregationalists
with 543, German Lutherans with 46S,
English Lutherans with s54, Episcopal
ians with SAG. Baptists with $40, Uni
tarians with 81, Christian Scientists
with T6, Jews with 40. U. BIS with "a
and Evangeucals with 1s. 1t is to be
presumed that a big majority OF those
who actually hold membership in the
churches of Iowa City are not express
ing any preferences for an open saloon
as an advertisement for a college town
but are they making their opinions
known to those who like to keep
church in the family for use at funerals
and weddin gs? Are they banding their
organized political strength with that
of other church members to the end
that religion which seems by the CEN
sus to constitute an ideal for all but
500 out of 5000 souls may find express
sion in social customs Of the town. In
other words do the people Of Iowa City
carry their religion upon their sleeves
or is this church census of IS per cent
religious to become the basis Of petit
ton of remonstrance which will Danish
the open saloon as one Of the required
courses Of higher education at the state
university Of Iowa?

10 accept the evidence Of eye witnesses
and those IN command. It will be hard
for Great Britain TO show that Benson
was murdered, Il indeed he was killed
without Justification. Villa began as
bandit and graduated into the nat
ural role OF Mexican revoiutionist. But
the ability TO control and carry on
successful war with the raw Mexican
material places him as a man of force
and OF capacity. How far the action
OF the United States in permitting him

track OF war and suffered as it to be
