a mass meeting of the Moline base
ball fans and enthusiasts who favor
the great national pastime, has been
called for that city tonight in the
Manufacturers hotel, and all interest
ed in the city securing 1914 franchise
in the Central association, are re-

are bright now for baseball this sum-
mer, and should Rock IEand also
between the two towns would be
great. In such a case baseball would
thrive in both of the cities.
The committee in charge of the
baseball situation in Moline, while
sure of securing sufficient funds, is
not disposed to take the matter into
their own hands until they are posi-
tive that the fans and business men
will lend their every support to the
enterprise. The city will not bid
against competitors and President
Justice has assured the Moline men
that the vacant berth will not be
placed on the market until after
definite decision is reached by the
Plow City. If Moline wants the fran
chise they can have it and there will
be no one to BID against. But if the
of1er is turned down the vacant berth
must be given to some city and the
highest bidder would then get it.

aged to remain at the top for several
weeks, and tonight is the first time for
many moons that there has been any
possibility of the standing of the
league undergoing a decided change.
The opponents of the Brews tonight
are the 5000 team at the ST. Julien
alleys, and the way things have been
going for the league leaders of late it
seems very probable that the Colts
will pass them. At present "Blondy's
five is just one-half game behind the
Brews, owing TO a protested game
which has never been played off. The
Hubers and 26O0 quintet have but lii
tie chance to win the leading honors
unless something mighty unexpected
should break loose, as both are way
down in the percentage column.
The protested game in which the
Colts CAIN they were tied with the
Hubers. occurred some time ago when

bers won the game by this one pin
alone and the Colts claim it should

to Dubuque, for it is the general belief

that Rock Island is to be substituted

Ter Of the world, who has been retir-

his manager Emil Klank Gotch says:
please announce positively that l

Gus get together and then let the
winner of the match defend the title.
| Will willingly waive my rights to the
title in favor of the winner of a
match between Beell and Americus"
The above announcement on the
part of Gotch, has somewhat peeved
Charley Cutler, who is well known in
Rock Island and the tri-cities. Cutler
claims that he can easily throw either
Beell or Americas and is willing to
show the world. He will doubtless
ge. the chance, too, and when the big
favorite goes up against the winner
of the coming match between Beell
and Westergaard, something will be
doing according to Charley. He ex-
poets 10 throw the winner and take on

Tri-city wrestling fans who have
seen Cutler in action, are all in his
favor, because he is clean, aggres-
sive. puts up a good fight, and is game
