HARD TRYOUT FOR ELEVEN
Only Fraction Of Pound Difference
in Average Weights Of the
TWO Assresations.

The Rock Island high school football
eleven has gone through the stinest
practice OF the season, during the rast
week in preparation for the annual
game with Rockford. although the up
state team is minus Jackson, tneir star
halfback OF last year. they still have
five RI" men back in the lineup
and are reported 10 have very last
and heavy team. Rockford Is always
in the running for the state honors,
and a victory fc- the islanders VIII
mean a great deal TO the local school
The Crimson and gold warriors have
always given the upstate aggregation
a hard battle. although in the last
few years the local school has usually
succeeded in running away with Inc
small END OF the score.
In 1911 Rock Island managed TO
break even 10 tune OF 10 with
Rockford in that city. In 1912 the To-
cal team went down to defeat by the
close score of u TO 9. Last year
Rockford ran up ~ points and pre-
scented Rock Island with a goose egg
The local eleven played against over
wheIming odds in that game. as the
upstate team greatly out-weighed the
locals.
Last years victory evidently did not
decrease Rockford's respect for the
Islander eleven. as Rockford papers
came out with a statement from

cred BY them as one Of the hardest
on their schedule. The coaches are
drilling their men in defense especi-
ally adapted for use against Butler

the Aledo game.
Captain Hinkley asserts confidently
that history, will not repeat itself
Saturday. Instead the students and
team are firm in their belief that Rock
ford's prospects are good for trim

dition and going at its present clip
there is reason for this belief. Many

HOOFEDS CAPTURE
FEDERAL PENNANT
Bill" Phillips Leads Indianap-
oils Athletics to Well
Earned Victory.

Indianapolis, Oct. S.-By winning
from St Louis, to 0, yesterday the
Indianapolis Federal league team. for
the second time in two years, captured
the Federal league pennant.
To Manager Bill Phillips, the
silent leader" of the team, who also
was at the helm of the club last year,
when it won the first flag of the league,
is given credit, in a large measure, for
the winning of the second champion
ship.
The race between the Chicago and
Indianapolis teams has been close al
most from the start of the season, with
first one club and then the other in
the lead. Yesterdays victory for In
dianapolis, while Chicago was losing
two games, gave the local team, which
was a half game behind, a one-game
lead.
Business men of indianapolis, which
is considered the home of the Federals
since, it is said, the first plans for the
independent league were made here,
have already begun preparations for
banquet and reception for members of
the pennant-winning team.
The Federal league race was one of
the hardest fought of modern baseball
history. nearly every team at one time
or another taking part in a rally that
gave it an apparent chance for the
flag. At the start st. Louis jumped
TO the front and at the end of the first
two weeks led the league. The first
clash with eastern clubs proved disas-
trous for the Mound City crowd, and
after a campaign of two weeks around
the western circuit Baltimore was in
front and retained the lead until
June 16.

Record for Speed With 100
Double Plays.

New York, Oct. S.-While Philadel-
p..ia has enjoyed a big slice of the
honors which accompany the right TO
be a contender for the Worlds Base
ball Championship, Boston has not
been wanting for a share in the glor-
les of the annual championship SERIES
When the clubs representing fneSe
two cities meet in the opening game
for this years worlds pennant, II VIII
mark the fifth time that Philadelphia
has entered such a struggle and II
will be the third for Boston. Had the
New York Nationals not refused TO
play with the Hub" players in 1904,
the Boston Americans would have had
an additional opportunity of fighting
for the championship. However Bos-
ton claimed the worlds honors for
that year by default.
Since the American and National
LEAGUE pennant first played against
each other in 1903, the Athletics of
Philadelphia have played four times
and won three post season series.
The Boston Americans won the two
that they fought to finish first beat
inc the Pittsburgh Nationals in 1908.
After waiting eight years from the
time of the disappointing refusal of
tho Giants in 1904, the Red Sox' had
the satisfaction of taking Manager
McGraws men into camp. scoring
their second victory in the banner s:r-
les of 1912.
Hitherto the American league was
solely responsible for Boston's worlds
baseball honors but this year the Ma

aptly called, after a rush, which as

were potent factors in the fall of Gala

initial engagement of the city series
with the Cubs at Comiskey park yes

blunders of the pale-hosed legion and
a break in luck in the fifth inning,

rooters.
Twice in the early rounds, when they
had chances to overcome Big Jim"
Vaughn. the elephantine southpaw,
Callahan's FASTENERS lost their bear
ings, and doing so queered their best
pospects for winning. Vaughn was I'M

might have gone to the defenders of
the title had they played sane base
ball after getting men on the runway.

Nollins, Weaver and Roth were not
the only offenders on the base lines.
Associated with the Sox Trio was the
Great Tim, who booted" one on the
circuit and persisted in a double play,
and also pulled a concrete play in the
witching seventh, when the SoX showed
over both their makers.
Seeming defeat in the fifth, when
the enemy had padded their lead TO
a matter of three runs, Callahan called
on the reserves, and IA athletes had
tried their luck when the combat end
