RUN THREE-EYE CLUB

Oscar w. Shannon, the Quincy base
ball booster who has controlled the
Three-Eye league baseball club in
that city, issues a statement in eX-
PLANTATION of his decision TO withdraw
from the game. The statement is of
general interest inasmuch as it re-
fleets some light on just how much
baseball, as played in this league,
costs.
Shannon estimates that S23 900 is
needed TO float another club in Quin-
cy next year. The various items he
lists in his expenses for last year to-
tai over $23 600 The items enumera-
ted are salaries of players and mana
gers from $4,000 to $14 900; railroad
fares, $685.; 10 per cent fund of
league. from 81 900 to 81 800 players

KUMACAE BEATEN
AT NET BY HAYES
Chicago Tennis Crack Pulls Surprise
OF Season BY Downing Jap
Champion in Thriller.

Chicago. Sept 14-Walter T. Hayes
the local tennis veteran, pulled one OF
the biggest surprises of the season
yesterday afternoon on the courts OF
the Chicago Tennis club when he de-
feated Ichiya Kumagae, Japanese
champion and cOnqueror of William
Johnston, last years national cham
pion and runner up for national hon
Ors this year. The victory was in
straight sets, 81, 81.

has attained fame in this country
Burdick won in straight sets, too, 81
Ga.
Hayes was playing at top form. His
placement shots were deadly in their
accuracy and his drives were full of
speed and control. Besides he used
a peculiar semi-twist service thaI
bothered his opponent continually.
The first frame was neck and neck
with games alternating between the
men. Game after game was decided
on hair-line placement shots along the
alley lines or to the back line. The
jap did not seem to be hitting his best
stride. His most successful shot. a
low smashing drive, was wild. and
The play in the second set was prac-
tically as even. Both men were eXhib-
iting mastery tennis. But the local
star broke away at the end for a ga
win and the match. In his victory
Hayes accomplished what many eX-
peTts had considered next to i'm nos
sible-he beat the Jap champion at
his own placing and driving game.
Burdick's defeat of Mikami was due
largely to the local mans brilliant net
play. His overhead smashing al the
barrier was spectacular, and with it
he combined short wrist stroke
which the Jap could not succeed in
reaching
The doubles went to the japanese
pair. Hayes and BurdiCk, western
champions and holders OF many lesser
titles, went down in defeat where they
expected 10 win. The scores were 1913

fast and took the lead from the start,

Mentor Gives High School Football
Squad Complete Drill in Rum
ming With the Ball.
By GEORGE ADAMS.

Tackling and running with the ball
was the workout given high school
football men at the field back of the
reservoir last night. 1t was thought
that the dummy" would be used, but
it will be held over until Saturday,
when it will be used in practice at the
Island City ball park.
o. F. Achtenhagen was on the field
and assisted Coach Anderson, in keep
ing the players warm. Jack Durling
and Noble Kuehl punted to Bassett,
Heimbeck, Bergendorf, EIlinwood,
Captain Dempsey, Anderson, McAIul-
len and DOpp, who alternated in TAX
ing the ball. Tackling was carried on
by the rest of the players, who were
lined up in two squads farther up the
field.
Forward pass work followed with
Taylor making some Of his long passes
with the usual accuracy and speed.
Rolling the ball was aI.o practiced
and many of the fellows prove good
at recovering the fumbled pigskin.
Rock Island high school will prob
ably have a team of huskies, judging
from the looks of the canddat :
Among some of the big men are:

ris, Taylor, Heimbeck and Captain
Dempsey. They are all seasoned foot
bail players, and will bring The team
in the heavyweight class.
The large number of candidat 2.
which showed up at the first practice
still continues to don the suits and
come out on the field for the nightly
workout. The many predictions given
at the first workout, concerning how
long the rockies would continue to
come out seem to have slipped up III
their calculations Many future foot
ball stars may be seen in the east of
rockies who persist in logging the
coach's trail At least one thing is
certain, there will be no end cf ma

will probably give the first team a

case of Loyal Robb is still doubtful. He
has neither affirmed or denied the fact
that he will be seen in moleskins
again this season.
With these conditions of affairs e1-
listing local fandom only hopes that
the matter will be amicably adjusted,
and that one team of full strength

LAURA HOPE CREWS IN
1.-THE FIGHTING HOPE"

Laura Hope Crews, who makes her
photodramatic debut in the sixth in
the series of Lasky-Belasco ~photodra-
matte productions, Is positively one
of the most gifted American dramatic
stars. The drama made its author,
VIM. J. Hurlbut, famous over night
when originally produced by David
Belasco and has become n of the
recognized American classics.
The woman about whom the inter-
est of this play centers is the wife
of a moderately prosperous bank Of
fetal, who is condemned to Jail for
an embezzlement of a very peculiar
nature. She believes her husband
to be innocent, and manages to be-
come the secretary of the president
of the bank (now closely, whom she
believes to be guilty. The president
is forced to establish her husbands
guilt beyond all doubt, in order to
clear his own name, and letters which
finally come into mis- possession con-
vince even the wife that her husband
was untrue to his trust.
At this time the wife falls in love
with the man by whom she has been
employed, thus having her fidelity to
her convict husband put to an ex-
IRENE test.
The ultimate solution of this *
traordinary situation Is worked out
with such cl%everness that it comes as
a complete dramatic surprise. At
the Ely theater tonight.
