Chicago. Jan. 11.-With the big
game "over there" called in time, there
is a good chance for the trench-broke

Immediately after the championship

President Johnson of the American
league also is enthusiastic over the
scheme and has promised to do every
thing possible to further the plan. The
expenses will be betrayed by the own
ers themselves, should any of the
three go into the finals. 1t would
probably amount to at least $4,000
for each of them.

AUGUSTANA FIVE TO
PLAY BRADLEY TEAM
By BOB OLMSTED..

After diligent practice all week, Au-
gustana's basketball team is going into
the game tomorrow night with the
speedy quintet from Bradley with high
hopes Of victory.
The only dope available on Bradley
so far is her recent defeat at the hands
Of Eureka, which latter school con-
tended with Augustana in the tourna-
ment finals last spring for the cham
pionship OF the Little Nineteen" Eu-
reka is strong contender. however,
and II would be rash to argue that Au-
gustana must beat Bradley because
Eureka did. Moreover, the Bradley
boys are noted for playing rather in
consistently throughout a season and
may put up much better game than
expected.
Dempsey. Eureka's star man and
well known local boy, probably will
not be in the game Saturday night, as
it is considered the rules on profess
sionalism bar him from the. contest.
This matter has not been settled def
initely. however.
For Augustana, the lineup Is yet
uncertain, but during the last week
Coach Conrad has been using the COM
bination OF Bloomberg and "Kootch"
Anderson at forwards. Bengston at
center and Lyon and Almer at guards
Redstrom fs also showing up we'll and
perhaps will land berth at the for
ward position before the game is over.

AUTOS AND BOATS TO
BE USED IN 1918

Cincinnati. O.. JAM 11.-Traveling
by boat and auto when playing in the
east will be the rule for all major
league ball clubs, if plans now under
wav are carried out by the schedule
makers. who will meet shortly at
Dover Hall. Ca, for the purpose OF
completing the schedule. The meet
ing was to have been held yesterday,
but had to be postponed owing to the
failure of William Harridge, Ban
Johnson's secretary, to arrive.
1t is pointed out by the schedule
makers that all the eastern cities are
within easy reach of one another and
that trips from New York to Philadel-
phia and Philadelphia to Washington
could be made without much trouble
in autos. Several boat lines run be-
tween Boston and New York and in
former days these boats got nearly
all the baseball traffic.
1t is different in the west, where the
cities are mostly 800 miles apart, ex-
ceDting Cleveland and Detroit. Rail
road transportation would be impera-
tive, therefore, in the western circuits
but the use of boats and autos in the
east would take quite a burden of
the railways. and the idea is slated
/ for serious consideration.
