Manager Flanagan Announces the Play
iug Season for the Iadepend-
ents II Closed

The football season for 1915 was Of
cially closed yesterday, as far as the
Rock Island Independents are COR
cerned. Manager Flanagan announced
today that the scheduled game with
the Cornell Hamburgs of Chicago for
Sunday had been cancelled for various
reasons. The Islanders are in bad
shape from injuries sustained in the
Red Men game and it would be doubt
full whether Davenport. Bredimus,
Robb. Murphy and Holm would be able
to play Then again the weather must
be taken into consideration The
heavy snow of today indicates an early
winter and should the game be staged IT
might he a losing proposition finan-
cially.
The Cornell Hamburg management
demands guarantee of $500 to come
here and Flanagan would be forced to
charge 50 cents admission, With no
title at stake and no special interest
in the game it is extremely doubtful
whether the contest would prove a
/ drawing card The local boys feel that
! they have played enough football this
season and are now looking forward TO
/ the annual banquet which will be ar
ranged within the next few weeks,

TWO AUTOS in CRASH
ON MOUNTAIN ROAD

After crashing into Waite Star
stage on the mountain road between
the valley and san Diego last night
believed to have been either a Cadil-
lac or a Winton and carrying a license
plate bearing the number "426l Ari-
zona" left the damaged stage without
divulging his identity. Manager Smith
of the White Star line conferred with
Deputy Dstrist Attorney +. II. 81
mon today in regard to the matter.
The stage a Dodge car, carving ,
passengers besides the driver r. q.
Davis was badly damaged. Both fen
ders were crushed and one of the
wheels broken by the force of the i'm
pact.
As far as could be learned. no one
was injured.
Manager smith of the White star
line received Il meagre report of the
accident last night and learned that
the driver Of the ear bearing the Ari-
IONA license plate had driven away
without making his identity known.
From the reports | received last
night the Arizona ear was to blame
for the accident" smith said this
morning while explaining the facts 10

HAS HARD TIMES
B f + E ID T II E
RO A ID S II o W?

Old Man Hard Times dealt the the
atrical business a hard blow and even
if better times are here it is doubt
full whether the managers will attempt
any road shows of merit this season.
OF course there will be some road
shows but for the most part they will
probably stay close to the bright lights
and shun the coaloil circuits.
There was a dearth of road shows
last year and, instead of blaming pan
ic times for it, the managers laid it
onto the proyincials
The Pacific Coast is becoming the
atrical barometer to test the worth
of new productions and if one can
draw any sort of an inference from
what the big producers are doing there.
it looks as though the oniy shows
which will be placed on the road this
year viii be big ones.
Big productions mean big towns ano
the small towns are passed up with
out so much as a billposter.
1T is automatic in the theatrical bus
mess that bad times mean bad shows
C. NJ Applestill. one Of the propric-
tors of the Theatre Tulane. said.
"It invariably follows that there are
a lot of small productions which play
the small towns when times are not
prosperous while the larger produc
tions appear only at the large cit
les.
The reason for this is apparent. Man
ayers who finance big productions are
accustomed TO taking risks but the
odds that an expensive production
could survive while PLAYING other than
large cities are against him"

Mcbride Wins by Two Votes

Elko Independent: The recount of
votes in the Booher- Mcbride election
contest ended at Elko with the latter
two in the lead. The recount was
interesting throughout, first one and
then the other leading. A total
change Of eleven votes was made and
of this number Mcbride lost six and
Booher five. The difference of one
cut McBride's original majority of
three to two.
Some interesting points were de-
veloped in the contest. Tuscarora
precinct counted many ballots. which
it is allegeq. contained distinguishing
marks and other irregularities. and
it is rumored on the streets that this
will be used as basis for a contest
of Newland's election by Sam Platt.

1t is a fair inference that Germany
then refused to back up her ally's
proposed raid on Servia. And it is
also fair inference that Germany
gave consent and that if the consent
had not been given war would not
have occurred.
The dark story of the relations of
Austria to the poor eople of the
Balkan peninsula, struggling against
Turkish tyranny and desirous of their
place in the sun. has never h-en

She has spent money to create an

a chance that the successful league
has solved the near eastern question
and that new power strong enough
to protect the Dardanelles had
arisen, Austrian energies were sue
cessfully devoted to breaking up
the wholesome union. Russia has
shown some altruism in her Balkan
policy. She was the liberator and
the creator of free Rumania. free
Bulgaria, free Servia, and a free
Montenegro. But one thumbs the
records in vain to find Austria back
ing the nationalistic or economic or
democratic aspirations of her back

more amazing that Germany per-
mitted herself to be caught in the
meshes of policy whose essential
nature intelligent Germans have long
perceived.-N. Y. Commercial Ad-
