Dubuque.
In the meantime the Hustler boss,
Forrest Plass, who is through with
baseball as far as Dubuque is con-

Central association. Plass received
800 down and will get another check !

DAVENPORT WILL
HAVE REAL CAME
Clinton Coming Down Saturday
to Contest for Iowa High
School Title.

Next Saturday will be a crucial one
in the contest for the high school foot
ball championship of Iowa. which
Davenport is waging. On that day
Clinton, also promising candidate for
the honors, plays at Davenport, and
eliminated in all probability. Many
from Rock Island will go to view the
contest, Rock Island playing away
from home that day.
@ Davenport, Clinton and the two Des
Moines high school teams are consid-
cred the strongest in the state. though
Ames, Cresco and Webster City are
also as yet indicated. 1t is probable
that the title will be conceded to one
of the four first named, however. If
Clinton defeats Davenport and then
meets and beats East Des Moines on
Thanksgiving day it will have pretty
straight title to the honor. Clinton
and East Des Moines are negotiating
for a game Turkey day, but each is
holding off to see If the other is likely
to pull through till the end of the sea-
son undefeatsd, which would make the
game a big attraction.
Clinton is coming to Davenport in a
special train and will be backed by a
large party of boosters. Neither team
took any chances of injury in last
Saturdays games and will put on the
finishing touches in the training early
this week

It is almost a foregone conclusion that

that st. Louis will be the scene of the

of the trials and troubles of the civil
authorities while a town is in the pos
session of an invading army is given
by the mayor. Maurice Pol Roger, of
this city, which was in the hands of
the Germans for a week.
When the Germans entered the town
late in the afternoon the mayor was
summoned before the commandant,
General Won Plettenberg. This first
interview, according to the mayor. was
marked by courtesy on both sides, but
that evening the mayor received vio-
lently worded protest from the general
who complained that the water, gas
and electric supply had been cut off.
The mayor was told that if these were
not restored at once he would be
hanged. This arose because the in
habitants leaving their houses had
shut off the gas, water and electricity.
The mayor gave the necessary orders
to have the services restored, but with
other town officials he was arrested
and held in the townahll as a hostage.
and when a fire broke out that night
the general sent word that if a second
outbreak occurred he would have the
mayor shot.
The next day a food requisition was
made and when it was not raised in
time the town was fined 176,55O francs.
Then to add to his troubles the mayor
was summoned to explain the shooting
of a German soldier, who had been
wounded in the leg by a revolver shot
and, when the towns chief executive
declared that the accident took place !
on a different street from that given in
