MUSCAT|NE IS
CLAIMING RAG
Esan's Men Believe They Have the
stransIe Hold on Central As
ISOLATION Pennant for
1916.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Manager Brennan Of Waterloo sus-
pended and Fined for Part In
Clinton Scrap, BY Presi-
dent Justice.

The Central association season Of
1916 will be history in few days
Muscatine is claiming the pennant
and feels confident that its lead will
not be overcome. The Muscatine
News-Tribune crows over the looked
for victory as follows:
With barely week before the
close of the league season, Musac-
tine has a lead which can only be
cut down by rare upset-and the
present winning gait Of the native
prides gives every indication of con-
tinuing without break. Musky fan
dom is now already making plans for
the unfurling of the C. A. pennant
next summer.
4he Muskies are now four and one
half games in advance of Marshall
town. In the event that the Ansons
win all of the eight games remaining
on the c.. A. schedule and the Mus
catines get no more than an even
break, winning four and losing four,
the Eganites would finish a half game
ahead Of the Boylemen. This would
give Marshalltown seventy-nine vic
tories and forty-seven defeats and the
Muskies seventy-nine victories and
forty-six defeats.
Muskies Confident.
In view of the fact that they have
only to win four of the last eignl
games to assure the pennant, the
Muskies are now confident Of captur-
ing the gonfalon. The team is dis
playing rare speed now and 1t is not
probable that the winning streak will
be broken to such an extent that the
concluding battles will put Muscatine
out Of the race.
Following two more games at Mus
catine with Fort Dodge the Eganites
will play three games at Mason City
and will then wind up the season
with three more at Fort Dodge.
Neither the Dodgers or the Claydig-
gers have caused the Muskies any
trouble this year, for which reason it
is considered safe prediction that
the present pace settlers will retain
that role to the end.
Brennan Is Fined.
Manager Brennan of Waterloo was
suspended by President NJ. E. JUS
tice for his part in the Clinton fracas,
and also fined $50 for FORGETTING the
game, making total of $110 assessed
In fines as a result of the trouble.
The Waterloo manager will prob
ably be out of the game for the bal
ance of the season. President John
Koeneke OF Waterloo has placed
George Zackert in charge of the
club.

ly exist In Serbia today have but the faintest conception of the narrowing conditions that confront this war torn nation. Thousands of women and chll- dren arc threatened with starvation, or death by exposure to the merciless winter weather and # possible, their plight is even worse thsn that of the Belgians.
 Sometime ago m organization that Is known as Serb Unity" of Tread well, Lodge No. sS. of SerbFederation "Sloga." of New York, was organized with the following officers; J. Pavlo- vich. President; Blagoje Nikolich, Vice President; NJ. Gavriloyich, Sec retary and Jovan shanowslSy. Treas urer.
 This organization immediately set about providing ways and means to carry on tho relief work. A commit tee was appointed. consisting of Gaio J. Pavolich., Jovan Shanowsky, and Blagoje NikolIch. charged with the ac- tive work of canvassing for funds They have. thus far, secured S2oO' which Is now on hand, and which they intend to forward to the American Red Cross Society for the use of their unfortunate countrymen.
 In order to better facilitate the work. 1t has been determined to or ganize at Treadwell, an independent relief society. for the purpose of rais- ing and handling a fund of this char acter. The society will be open to all classes of people for membership. That Is to say. the membership will not be confined exclusively to Serb Ians. but anyone who wishes to do so. may join 1t and assist in the relief work.

STORM AT DOUGLAS.

DOUGLAS. Jan. 25.-The storm God surely has his habitat on Douglas Isl- and yesterday. Every gentle breeze that starts on the west side of the channel increases la volume until 1t reaches the Island it becomes a rag ing tempest. East night was one of the stormiest in the history Of the community. The wind began to rise about noon and steadily increased in force all the afternoon. and at 5:30 was tearing across the towns of Douglas and Treadwell at such a rate that 1t ceems 8 miracle that half the houses In the locality were not blown down. It continued to launch It's fury upon the island until the early hours this morning, when It be- gan to abate and gradually went down. SO that at noon there was com paratively little wind blowing.
 The wind caused considerable dam age on the Island and along the water front last night. Two gas boats were sunk near the city dosk, and 1t blew so hard that William Howard. e na- tive, who returned from Q trip to Ne yada Creek late yesterday afternoon, was compelled to remain aboard his boat. and keep his family aboard, all night because 1t was too rough to so ashore. A large sign was torn from the front of Guys drug store; a win dow was smashed In the third story of p. Fl. Fox's store; Q window and a glass door were broken in R. R. Hub bard's news store; a window was broken in the third story of St. Ann's hospital, and the flag pole in front of the Congregational church was snap ped of. It is said that the velocity of the wind WIS so great that 1t was al- most impossible for pedestrians to walk from Front street to the docks along the water front The wind be- gan to rise again about two o'clock today and continued to blow hard an the afternoon.

 MEN PREPARED TO TAKE THE

NEW YORK. Jan. S.--Approzlmat- ely 10000 college men are in readi- ness to take the field should the United States become involved in a war. declared John Grier Hibbin, pres ident of Princeton University. in an address here before the Republican Club
 These young men, he said, are in a state of preparedness because of the military training they have received in college He said the presumption that the United States could raise an army of a million men between sun. rise and sunset is sheer nonsense and that war would be simply butchering our young men, who are untraIned for military service.
 Other speakers were United States Senator George L. Chamberlain who is chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs; Congressman M. Dies. and Captain Mathew B. Hanna, U. S. N, retired; Major-General Leon ard Wood. commander of the Depart ment of the East. U. S. A.; Colonel Clarence F. Hownsley. Superintend- ent of West Point; General JPohn A.
