Maxine Elliott.

The report is current in Broadway
circles that Maxine Elliott is through
as motion picture actress for the
time being at least. 1t has been an
nounced that Miss Elliott viii return to
the stage as a member of an al1-star
cast in William Faversham's revival of
r. G. Cartons racing comedy Lord
and Lady Algy" Miss Elliott is to
appear as Lady Algy. Irene Fenwick
is another screen notable who will be
seen in the supporting company.
Miss Elliott's screen career has been
brief. She joined the Goldwyn produc-
ing company just after she returned
from abroad several months ago. She
appeared in several productions. The
only one that has been released so far
is Fighting Odds" picture which
failed to excite much favorable crit
icism. The chief deficiency of Miss
Elliott on the screen seemed to be her
inability to screen well. The camera
is relentless. 1t drove Robert Man
tell, Nat Goodwin and score Of other
stage notables out of the films after a
F., brief career

cial meeting of the Illinois High School
Athletic association last week 1t was
voted to bar the Aledo high school
from participating in athletics with
any other prep school of Illinois for
a period Of one year, following COM
plants from Monmouth, Galesburg and
Rock Island that the football team
this season was composed of players
who were largely ineligible. One of
the sewn alleged to be ineligible had
not even entered school this season.
The association accepted the resig-
nation of Vice President J. NJ. Allen of
Springfield, who is unable to devote
the time required to the duties of the
position. j. F. Burton of the Rock Is
land high school, was elected successor
to Allen and will be in charge of the
annual basketball district tournaments
among the prep schools OF the state.
In the future all prep school track
meets will be handled by the state as
sociation. 1t was also ruled that when
a pupil has attended eight semesters
in a high school he becomes ineligible
to participate in games between teams

JOHNSON TO STICK
AS HEAD AMERICAN

Chicago, Dec. 11.--Ban Johnson will
stick to the ship. The head Of the
American league will not desert the
storm-tossed baseball craft after the
annual meeting of the owners tomor-
row. He will remain pilot as long as
needed, which Is expected to be sew
eral years.
Reports of late have been to the
effect that Johnson would resign as
president of the league after the an
nual meeting, and he has told friends
that he did not expect to guide the
destinies Of the junior circuit much
longer. Yesterday he had change
OF heart after he discovered that the
eight owners of the league insisted
that he stick. He made it stronger by
stating that he would be willing to
work for nothing, if necessary, rather
than be accused Of quitting during
these uncertain times.
There is only one thing which will
tchange his mind, and that is march
ing orders to the front by the govern
ment

nan couldn't unload his famous X. O.
on Homer Smith, the Benton Harbor
upstart, in the windup of the Lakeside
arena show last night, but he handed
out a trimming that the Michigander
will remember.
1t was one of the best heavyweight
battles any one could imagine looking
at, the speed of both. considering their
poundage, being remarkable. They
both can punch with either hand and
they did punch, but Brennan earned
the victory because he was more ac-
curate in his fire.

The board of supervisors Wednesday
let a. contract for grading about half a
mile of the Lincoln highway west of
the city to Peter Shugart, of Nevada,
who has the contract for grading about
two miles of the East Main street road,

the road in the new contract is a
stretch of about half a mile west of
the culvert just west of -four mile
hill" to the Northwestern crossing.
Surface water draining from land on
the north side of the road makes this
stretch of road usually bad in anything
but very dry weather. The road will
be brought to grade and culvert will
be laid to carry the surface water to
the south side of the road and east to
the waterway under the culvert. The
contract was let for 80 cents cubic
yard.
Washington township has let the
CONTRACT for grading part of the new
road thru the Huff farm, just south Of
Lamoille, to Shugart, for 80 cents q
cubic yard. Part of the grading will be
done by the township road gang. Shu-
CART will go to work on the Lincoln
highway and Washington township
grading jobs just as soon as he finishes
East Main street, which will be with
in two weeks.

known, will open the Searchlight Club
season with lecture Tuesday evening,
Oct. 16. DR.. Willett will speak on the

city before and has been very popular
with local audiences. He appeared be-
fore the Searchlight Club both last

While in the City DR.. Willett will
deliver two other addresses. In the
