Following the action of the excise

tail and two wholesale liquor licenses,
the Anti-Saloon League, through Attor-
ney A. E. Shoemaker. filed with the
board request for the immediate clos

eating liquor is sold at retail shall be
300 feet of any alleyway occupied for
residences or of places commonly call
ed slums, except upon the unanimous

above-named barrooms are being
operated without valid licenses" and

LIFE FED LEAGUE

Important Meet.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-The life of the
Federal league has been spared one
week.
Owners and hackers of the defunct
organization, scheduled to sing their
swan song in Chicago today, decided
to prolong the life of the victim one
week. President Gilmore made known
the change in an announcement from
New York yesterday, giving as his
reason Phil Balls presence in Goth
am, where he is attending the Ameri-
can league confab.
The reason for this delayed Fed
meeting Is puzzle. One report
launched yesterday was to the effect
that the moguls were gathering to split
pool raised last fall to run the out
law circuit another season. No one
would verify this rumor, President
Weeghmann merely stating the mag
mates were going to be present "to Off
tally transact all unfinished business.

one of the most cheerful gatherings
of the season, Weeghman in his speech
blaming game of golf at Exmoor for
his presence in organized baseball.
There was plenty of baseball en-
thusiasm on tap, which was pleasant
experience for the new Cub owner, who
predicted that 1916 would be banner

Plans already are under way for the

SPORT GOSSIP

New York, Feb. 19-Although a
form of football was played by both
the Greeks and Romans under the title
of Feninda and later Spheromakia it
has been recently demonstrated that
the North American Indians invented
and played game similar to the foot
ball of early and middle age Europe.
In recent article upon the subject,
Parke Davis, the statistician and his
| torian of the modern game, writes as
follows:
THE first American played football
; in a we'll specialized game, of which
he also was the inventor. Like La
! crosse, the Indian played his game OF
football upon the fiat sands. The ball
was made of leather, sewn with a
thong and filled with moss, The goals
were mile and more apart The play
ers ordinarily we're braves of the same
tribe, but upon special occasions the
game would be waged between select
ed players of different tribes. one tribe
, being arrayed against another.
| In these tribal contests the players
! came to the sands arrayed in war
bonnets. war paint and full savage re-
gala. AS the time drew near for the
game to begin, bows, quivers. shields
and bonnets were discarded, and the
i Indian, 1.-THE and athletic stood forth
! eager and alert. Before commencing
| play the rival players shook hands
| and rubbed noses in formal token OF
the friendliness OF the fierce encoun-
! ter.
Our genial reporters of three CEN
turtles ago tell us that sometimes sew
eral days were required to obtain a
goal. in which event the contending
teams would mark the spot where the
! ball lay at shutdown and resume the
game at that point the following day
! And there was fair sportsmanship In

II BUSH HURLERS
ON YANkEEs'L|S
Joe Kelley of the New York Americans
Lines Up String of Unknowns
for Manager Donovan.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Seventeen young
pitchers, gathered by the eagle-eyed
scout, Joe Kelley, from all the bush
leagues between Maine and Texas,
have been ordered to mobilize at Ma
con, Ca, on Feb. % by Manager Bill
Donovan. The Yankees never had so
many pitchers, and, if numbers count
for anything, the New York American
league club should cut quite figure
in the pennant chase this season.
1t is mystery where Kelley discov-
cred them all No one knew that there
were so many recruit pitchers good
enough to be considered candidates for
the major leagues.
The new pitchers include such
strangers as Tommy Blodgett, Neal
Brady, Slim Love, Cliff Markle, Ford
Meadows, George Morgridge, Willie
Percy, Sam Ross, Urban Shocker.
Dan Triple. Dazzy Vance. Allan Rus
sell, Gilman Day, George Finn and
also the we'll known citizens, Cy Pieh,
Ray Heating and the new Federal
league prize, Nick Cullop.
Slim Love is the most interesting of
these new pitchers, because he stands
about s feet inches in height. Ray
Keating's work will be watched with
interest. A year ago he had to give
up pitching because of an injury to
his hip. 1t is said that he has entire
ly recovered and will be able to pitch
as we'll as ever this season.

George Dams, fight promoter and
manager, has assembled a strong
stable Of boxers, including two Rock
Island boys, Eddie Evers and Earl
Henderson, the third being Andy Dams,
his brother. Henderson fights at 142
pounds and is welterweight Evers
is a bantam, fighting at lie pounds,
and Andy Dams is a lightweight, bat
ting at 1870 pounds.
Earl Henderson, the heaviest boxer
in the stable, has been matched to
meet frankie Whitney, the Cedar Rap
ids carpenter, who recently disposed
Of Ad Wolgast at Memphis. George
Dams, himself a former welterweight
fighter, will personally train Hender-
son for the bout, which is to be staged
before private club at Iowa City,
March 5. The boys will go 10 rounds.
Since his comeback Earl won several
fights handily and is in better condi-
ton at the present time than he has
been in four years.
Evers, one Of the most popular men
in the squared circle in the tri-cities,
has been matched to fight Joe Burger
OF Chicago, March 10, at Iowa City.
Evers had signed to meet Burger last
Wednesday, but the Chicago bantam
was taken i'll and could not fill the
date. Stub Goodwin of Quincy was
substituted and Evers forced him to
quit in the second round. Evers has
been going great lately and Dams is
making efforts to card him in NIilwau-
kee and indianapolis in the near fu-
ture. Andy Dams has several bouts in
view in Milwaukee before Tom An
drews' club. OF the three boxers,
Andy has been the most active.
George Dams is training his boys at
Rock Island Industrial hall, and he
has set aside tomorrow for the fight
fans to witness the three battlers in
