MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 3D.
For the first time since 1898, Illinois
this afternoon defeated Minnesota, 81
to s. Tonight the strongest Mime
sofa rooters are betting on Wisconsin
to win next Saturdays game. The
Illinois line was stronger than that OF
the Gophers. Hamilton's punting was
the one bright feature Of the game.

For the first two quarters Mime
sofa played wonderful football. They
twice ha dthe ball within striking dis
lance OF the Illinois goal m the third
quarter, however, conditions wer, re-
versed and Minnesota several times
grabbed the ball just when Illinois
seemed most liable to Ecore. Illinois
made the first score OF the game in
the last period. Bob Zuppeke put in
several of his second team and It was
only after Minnesota had scored that
he recalled his veterans.
The brilliant play Of the game was
when Pogue ran twenty yards for a

UNITED Press Leased Wire .Service.1
MADISON, Wis, Oct. 31.-Wiscon-
sin upset the dope this afternoon by
holding the widely heralded Chicago
eleven to scoreless tie. With the
exception OF the first quarter, the
Badgers more than held their owA
and kept the oval in Maroon territory
the greater part OF the time. Chicago
started auspiciously in the first period
and by series Of speedy shift plays
and dashing end runs, with Dolly Gray
and Russell leading the attack,
brought the ball to the Wisconsin five
yard line, where the Badgers made a
brave stand and took the ball on
downs. Gray was hurt at this time
and his injury apparently upset Chi
cago's attack, for they failed to threat
en- the Badger line from then on.
Twice Wisconsin reached the Ma
room ten yard mark, but lacked the
necessary punch. wisconsin gained
much ground by Bellows we'll placed
punts, which averaged close to fifty
yards. The contest was staged before
5000 fans.

The Ames touchdown came in the
first five minutes Of play, the result Of
long forward pass and couple Of

goal in this period.
For the rest Of the period and the
two following, neither side was able

the field almost at will. The Ames
team was badly battered at the end

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 31.-"The

that laid the golden egg"
This was the statement tonight Of
Ira Thomas Of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, when shown United Press
story from the east that his chief, Con-
ME Mack, had asked waivers on three
of his star pitchers, Eddie Plank.
Chief Bender and Jack Coombs. Thorn
as is in charge OF the all-star Ameri-
can team now in Portland.
'Tn view OF the fact that Mack has
said nothing further than he knew
one Of his pitchers was negotiating
with the Federals, / don't know that
it is proper for me to say anything
about the case. Connie probably
knows what he is about. for he has
ma6,a few mistakes in baseball.
Surely the ball players are killing
the goose that laid the golden egg.
The Federal league has everything up
in the air and they are Offering sala-
ries that are ruinous. don't see how
they ever expect to make money out
Of baseball.
st strikes me that the players
should realize that the organized base
ball magnates are paying them all
they consistently can. The players in
stead Of the magnates are getting the
money from the game and none OF
them has a dollar invested

The grounds were very hard from
the tramp OF ,soldiery in the military

EGAN MAY BUY
ST. PAUL CLUB
Central Association Manager May
Become American Association
Magnate.

Clinton Herald: From word sent
out from st. Paul, Ned Egan. known
as the Connie Mack" Of the Central
association, is dickering for the pur-
chase OF the American association
club in that city, his home. Egan, 1t
is said, is willing to place $4,000 in
the club to show that he has conf
dence that it is paying proposition.
E.gan is a valuable man and he
would be great loss to the Central
association. He is almost without n
peer in minor league ball today, hav-
ing won seven pennants, finished sec
ond three times and last once in the
past eleven years. Egan's1 strongest
point is the uncovering Of major
league material. the sale Of which has
brought his salary up to point that
is higher than he could have made as
a Class A manager.
Among some OF the men that Egan.
has sent up are George Burns, De-
troit's sensational first baseman, who,
has Just finished his first year in fast
company with batting average Of
1856. Russell Ford, now a Fed. was
one Of his finds, and so was Jimmy
tombstone, the sensational base steal
er, who burned up the Pacific coast
league in 1913, and who is now with
the Cubs Newt Randall. Cyril Clap
nicka and Joe Berg Of the Milwaukee,
team all were his products. There are
many others who have been sent up
by him In the last ten years. Some
Of them are still in the big show. and
others are scattered around in the
Glass AA and Glass A leagues. 4,
Egan has sent from seven TO eleven
players up during almost every sea-
son.

tiuation

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The greatest

telegraphic instructions from the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing

be transported in cars sealed and p1a-
carded under conditions specified by
the department of agriculture. Dur
ing the ten day period. all live stock
in the Chicago stock yards will be
under the observation of government
experts to determine whether the dis
ease is being spread by stock shipped

industry, refused to say tonight such
movement is contemplated.
In explaining the action taken at

was remarkably strong for high

quarter, are all fast and strong and
are as good in open field running as
they are in blowing through the line.
Mcfarland, at quarter, had but little
chance to show his ability as field
general. He used practically nothing
but old style, regulation plays. The
forward pass was attempted but three
times by Burlington. being completed
twice. Practically all the plays used

Substitutions were frequent on
both sides and nearly the whole Bur

the lads received serious injuries that
will keep them out OF games next

FORMING REGULAR HABITS.

One of the most interesting secrets
of success in life is the forming and
keeping of good and regular habits.
Any boy who wants to grow into sue
cessful man, no matter what vocation
or profession he may decide upon
should begin early to form good habits
that he must allow to become regular
part of his daily life.
A boy should get up early in the
morning, and go out in the pure fresh
air where he can see the works of his
all-wise Father in heaven.
The morning is the time to invigor-
ate the lungs by inhaling the fresh at
mosphere. 1t is the time to harden
the muscles and tougher the nerves by
vigorous exercise. 1t is the hour to
establish good, healthy boyish appe-
tite, which will soon make bright,
rosy complexion. 1t is the time to
study the birds and flowers. The birds
are the happiest, and sing the sweetest
in the early morning. The flowers are
the most beautiful, and the dewy per-
fume is the most delicate in the morn
ing hours. The sun has the most in
f1uence over sickly or weakened con-
stitution in the morning, and if we
rise early and allow nature to assist,
we can gain strength of body and
mind.
Our morals will improve also, for
we will see the wisdom of the Lord
in providing all the many blessings
for our benefit.
The boy who determines to make a
useful man of himself will find much
to assist him if he will only get out
early in the morning and look for it.
He will establish habits that will re-
main with him all through life and
which will assist him in many ways
which are invisible to the boy.
