GOAL KICK TO STAY
IN GRIDIRON SPORT

New York, Feb. 25.-When the mem
bers Of the football rules committee
meet for their annual session here to-
day and Saturday several minor
changes and suggestions for others in
the playing rules governing the game
will be discussed, but none Of them
promise to cause as much genuine in
terest as the effort to make the num-
bering of players matter of compul-
sion.
The adjustment OF the goal follow
ing a touchdown, which has been adj
vocated at previous meetings, is not
likely to be adopted. In past years the
majority of members have ruled that
it should be retained If for no better
reasons than it is an attractive play>
ing feature and its elimination would
rob the game Of good bit of its his
torical interest.

A picked team from the Rock Island
aerie of Eagles performed at the Is
land City alleys last night, rolling in
the team event in the tri-state tour

sorry showing, totaling only 2095. Gus
Eastberg, anchor, proved to be the best

the doubles were also shot off and two
in the singles, Davenport and Moline
bowlers taking part. Harry and Fred
Erickson of Moline made the best
showing in the doubles with 1901 and
Burmeister of Davenport ran ahead in
the singles with 544.
Yesterday Pete Petersen's count
was given as SOB in the sin

SENATOR TO TRY TO
STOP WILLARD BOUT

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 25.-In an at
tempt to prevent the Willard-Moran
fight, scheduled to be held at Madison
Square March 20, Senator Dunnigan of
New York City Monday night will in
troduce resolution directing the state
athletic commission to place before the
senate the lease of the garden given to
Tex Richard and Samuel McCracken.
Senator Dunnigan recently introduced
a bill prohibiting fights In building
used for any other purposes than box
ing. The senator maintains that in
giving Richard permission to stage the
bout at Madison Square the state ath-
letic commission is tolerating viola
ton of the law. The law provides that
the promoters, before being given a
license, must have lease for a per-
iod Of at least one year on the prem
ises.

Record Made by Harry Erickson
-FitzGibbons Take Two.
Tri-City Standing.

The deadlock in the Tri-City Bowl
ing league remained unbroken today,
as both the Edelweiss and FitzGibbon
teams each won two games in the
matches rolled last night. The Edel-
weiss crew took two off the Cross
Countrys in sensational style at the
Blackhawk alleys in Davenport, total
ing we'll over 400 pins. Doc" Muel-
lers crew lost the second game by a
margin of only four pins. In the last
frame of this game Art Salzmann
picked a cherry, while Graham struck
out.
Although the F1tzGibbon five sue
ceeded in taking two from the Cubs al
the Harms alleys, both teams rolled
way below form. The men on both
squads laid the ball In the pocket time
after time, but the pins refused TO fall
and strikes were a scarce article. The
Blackhawks copied two from the low
" Outings at the Tasting drives, but
failed to turn in their scores. 1t was
learned, however, that Burmeister of
the Outings rolled 66S pins in three
games, endangering the high mark of
$40, set by Harry Erickson of Moline
last week.
The Harms Martin match at the Is
land City alleys was postponed. The

fore the state tourney is held at
Bloomington, March l, 2, and 4.

Saturday night the Lutherans meet
Bradley in Peoria, and from reports
from other camps around the central

have been whipped into wonderful
shape by Coach Brown. Bradley

in the state and has the conference
basketball championship shield for
1918 hung in its trophy room. In the
first intercollegiate tilt of the season

tons.

New York, Feb. 25.-Just plain Jim
Gilmore now. 1t used to be Fighting
jim, but the handle broke off short
when the Federal league surrendered
to organized baseball quiet man
nered, quiet voiced chap, this quon-
dam chieftain of outlaw ball But
anyone who mistakes his apparent
modesty for lack of self-assurance has
another guess coming.
James A. Gilmore is suave but
'forceful talker; man of resources
as we'll as of force He holds the gold
en- key to life, the recipe of success
He knows how to cement acquaintance
into friendship; how to retain friend
ship through common adversely. And
he possesses that mark of true genius
which enables the favored of the gods
to turn defeat into victory.
Gilmore will go down as the Ma
poleon of baseball history. He met
his Waterloo, but met it after he had
shaken his world to the very founda-
tons. He went down with the respect
and esteem Of those colleagues whose
fortunes had been impaired by Gil
mores mad scheme of baseball ambi-
ton. Those same men, whom he ca
joled and eXhorted so recklessly to
assault impregnable monetary in
trenchments Of organized baseball are
his best friends today. They laugh
now at their former folly. But in Gil
more they see only friend whose mis-
guided fancy led them off the paths of
sound business sense, yet one who
stood ready to sacrifice himself when
chance of atonement presented
itself.
Gilmore confesses to two great mis-
takes.
Il thought there was plenty of room
for three major leagues" said he. Il
admit | had the wrong perspective. I
judged from apparent conditions in
Chicago. There was the North Side,
city in itself. without baseball. Now
| am convinced allowed myself to be
woefully mistaken. l thought the
baseball player a much abused chat
tel. | did not know the soul of the
diamond athlete then.
There is no room for three major
leagues. There is no public demand
for more than two. Take It from me,
there will never be room for more than
two first class circuits. And no pity
need be wasted on the down trodden
player. The reserve clause of the play
ing contract, to which | objected, Is
vitality important to clean promotion
OF the sport. It might not be If the
moral sense Of some players and Il
, regret TO say it, some magnates were
more highly developed. But in this
| age Of commercial competition base
/ ball could not live a year without the
protection Of the mooted clause. 9th
erwise players would not be placed
! on their own responsibility. Many OF
the stars OF both the major and Fed
eral leagues proved conclusively las,
| season that a player protected by an
ironclad contract loses all interest in
the primitive instinct-self- preserya,
! ton"
