SCHEDULE ENDED
| BY ALLEY LEAGUE
M0senfelder & Sons Team Wins Pen.
nant by Sensational Squirt
Staged Near Finish.
MERCHANTS STANDING.

The 1856 season of the Island
City Merchants Bowling league was
brought to a successful close this
week, Mosenfelder & Sons team cop
ping the pennant, with a slight lead
over the Flynn Mercantile five The
race for the flag was interesting to
the end, the M. G s. men winning by
sensational squirt staged toward the
end Of the season. The Flynns and
Ullemeyers led the league at various
times during the winter, and for a
time it looked as if the pennant
lay between these two clubs. Both
teams slumped, however, the Ullemey-
ers dropping to second place and the
F'lynns to third.
The successful season will be fit
tingly celebrated with banquet, to
be held at local hotel within the
next few weeks, at which time the
winners will be awarded prizes for the
season.
The Island City Merchants league
was organized last fall, and was an
outgroWth Of the old Island City
league, which consisted of only four
clubs in 191415. The league was in
creased to six clubs and the schedule
was finished without a hitch.
Much credit Is due President Guy
A. Moose for his untiring efforts in
behalf Of the circuit. Present indica-
tons point to a reorganization Of the
league next year.
The officers Of the league also wish
to thank the merchants of the city
who took such an active interest in
the welfare Of the league throughout
the season.

battle Of his career tonight at Iowa

Henderson, speedy bantam battler OF
Muscatine. Eddie is risking the rep
utation he has earned in the past few
years, but if he wins he will be in line
for battle with 'kwepie" Ertle,
claimant to the title. Henderson has
been going great Of late and Eyers

when he stacks up against him. Hen
derson fought his way through Wis
consin, one of the greatest fight states
in the country, and came out with fly
ing cOlors, not having defeat. Local
fight fans believe that Eddie is capable
of soiling Henderson's lily white rec
ord and have backed him to the limit.
The battle is scheduled to go 10
rounds and the boys will weigh in 1l6

the big task he has before him and he
has trained carefully for the fight, I'M

arrangement is to be permanent with
