NED ECAN DICKERS
FOR ST.PAUL CLUB
Central Association Leader Is
Looking for Backing to
Swing the Deal.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. Med Egan
of st. Paul, the Connie Mack of the
Central association, may be the next
local American association magnate.
Mr.. Egan, who has returned to st.
Paul for the winter, believes the local
American association property is a
splendid buy" and if he can enlist
sufficient backing, he will take the
property over, he says.
Mr.. Egan is prepared to invest not
less than $4,000 of his own money in
the club, to show that he has conf
dence in the future of baseball in this
city. Not only does he thus show
faith in the game in st. Paul, but he
also is confident of its general future.
Egan believes the menace of the Fed
eral outlaws soon will be obliterated,
either through a peace arrangement or
their quitting the field, and he is will
ing to risk his fortune on that opinion.
Ned is known throughout the west
as one of the ablest and shrewdest
minor league baseball men in the
country For the past IL years he has
been at the head of various teams
in the Northern and Iowa State league
and in the Central association. In that
time he has landed seven pennants,
finished second three times and in last
position once. The only year in which
he has ever failed to finish in the first
division was in the season just ended.
He started an Ottumwa, where he had
won three straight pennants, but be-
cause of financial difficulties he was
compelled to sell all his best players.
His club sank to eighth place, and
then was transferred to Galesburg,
where it finished the season with Egan
as owner and manager of the club.
In the matter of digging up young
players and disposing of them to the
big eagues, Egan is almost without
a peer in the country. In the last de-
cade scarcely a year has passed that
he has not sent from three to seven
men to fast company.

INDEPENDENTS TO
MEETDES MONIES
Fast Alexandria Eleven From
Hawkeye Capital Will Ar
rive Tomorrow.
LOCAL TEAM Is CRIPPLED
Mcmanus. mcGinnis, Robb and OaV-
export on Injured List, but the
Two Latter May Play.

Tomorrow afternoon at the Island
city park the Rock Island Independ-
ents will face one Of their hardest
tasks of the season, that of beating
the fast Alexandria eleven, champions
of Des Moines. This team is one OF
the fastest in the Hawkeye state. and
the locals will have to meet them
with a crippled lineup. II is a GER
tainty that neither McManus nor Nc
Ginnis will don the moleskins, and the
cases OF Robb and Davenport are still
doubtful, according to the latest re-
ports from the state champs camp.
Davenport still has a very sore shout
der, and the cut on Robb's forehead
has not healed.
Bryant, the speedy back of the In
dependents. will undoubtedly play the
entire game. Coach Lift and all Of
the local fans were more than pleased
with his wonderful showing last Sun
day. Although the Aurora team SEEM
ed weak on account OF their light
weight, they were all excellent tack
lers and Bryant accomplished some
feat by tearing through them for long
gains time and time again.
Spider Whistler will start the
game at quarterback position, as he
is the only man outside of McManus
who has held down this position on the
eleven. The Independents were given
the final workout last night and the
interest taken by the squad seemed to
please Coach Lift. In spite of the ex-
cellent practice. Lift would not pre-
dict a win for tomorrow The eleven
has been drilled in new plays during
the week.
Won City Title.
Word comes from Des Moines that
a large delegation of rooters will ac-
company the Alexandrias here with
plenty of money to back its favor
ties. The Aexandrias won the Des
Moines Independent championship
last Sunday and so far this season
have not lost a game Three of the
Des Moines eleven are former high
school stars and four others have play
ed on college elevens, one of them
playing with the Nebraska university
for three years. They will come TO
Rock Island with plenty OF confidence.
and in spite of the Independents rec
ord, expect to take the measure of
the state champs.
The game will be called promptly at
3 O'Clock. Various squads of the In
dependents supporters have arranged
portable bleachers. in which they ride
to and from the park. and each has
motto posted on the wagon. The

NEGRO JUMPS THROUGH
WINDOW AND ESCAPES
Desperate Character, Wanted In
Somerset County For Shooting
Another Negro, Jumps Through
Window and Escapes From Po-
lice Force.

Having been informed to be on
the lookout for a negro named
Fred. Ford, who is considered a
desperate character, Chief of Po-
lice Charles G. Pritchett learned
yesterday that the man was here,
and laid his plans for his capture.
He took with him Policemen Nc
Bride and Wiley, and went to the
house on Pine street where the
man had been located, and found
him in his room. After stationing
f Porseenisn w1fey under the On
window to the room, Chief Prit-
chett and Policeman Mcbride as
oended the steps which led to the
room, and, entering, found him
in bed They placed him under
arrest and allowed him. to dress.
After having put on his shirt and
of the bed and stopped over ASH
to put on his shoes, but instead,
greatly to the surprise of the Off
GERS, he jumped through the win
dow, and as soon as he struck the
ground, was off in a dead run. Po-
liceman Wiley, having heard the
arrest, and thinking that the other
two officers had the man in charge,
had left his position under the win
dow and started to join them up
stairs.
The officers gave prompt chase
to the man, and fired six shots in
an endeavor to bring him to a
halt. but on account of the fact
that he had gotten start, and the
difficulty in getting around through
the fences and yards, he succeeded
in making his escape.
Ford is wanted by the Somerset
| authorities for the shooting of an
other man, he having fired six
! shots into the man, who is now in
the Peninsula Hospital. Ford is a
brother of one of the boys who
were parolsd last winter by the
Court, after being convicted OF
stealing chickens.
