Fully confident that 1t accom-
plished its hurry-up mission to
Washington-to encourage the COM
pletion of the 460 federal govern
ment houses in the three cities on

The committee of Ave business men
returned home last evening. 1t was
primarily through the efforts OF the
local delegation that a postpone
uent of the hearing before the
house and building committee OF
The house until Jan. 5 was secured.
The committee passed its argu-
ment for the classification OF the
houses in this community on the
tact that hundreds Of arsenal work
men will find residence in these
new homes. According to q reso-
luton passed by the senate, re
ferred to the house committee on
housing, all work on projects not
rs per cent complete is to be i'm
mediately discontinued. But the
committee asked the housing COM
mittee to grant some consideration
to the situation as it exists in this
locality. The houses here by Jan.
s will be more than rs per cedt
complete. in fact L. j. Gamble, who
is experimenting the tri-city prof.
est of the United States Housing
corporation holds the opinion that
the local project will be virtually
accomplished by the time that the
matter again goes before the COM
mittee.
The committee which was sent to
Washington was composed Of F. W.

and c. r White of Moline. The
committee of - men from the three
cities will be called together in the

gate to present the data of the local
situation to the housing committee.
This representative will be dis
patched to the national capital sew

IN order that he may prepare the

DRAFT WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Stags Says Chicago and Confer
enee College viii Play Football.

Chicago. Aug. 25.-Doubts as to
whether or not football will be
played by the larger colleges of
the Middle West this fall were re-
moved today by A. A. Stagg, noted
football coach and athletic director
Of the University of Chicago, who
said that the Maroons would have
an eleven as usual, and that the
other Big Ten and similar schools
no doubt also would have represen-
tative teams.
Indiana University, among others,
has been reported as questioning the
advisability OF indulging in the grid
iron sport until the war is won, but
from the way Stagg talked today
II appeared as II he had never even
entertained the idea Of suspending
football
oh, yes" he replied, when asked
il the Big Ten was to continue its
gridiron schedules. I'VE are going
ahead az usual i don't think the
1s-45 draft law will interfere with
our student bodies. for I've read that
the government has appointed a
number of colleges throughout the
country, Chicago and other confer
ence schools among them. as stu
dent training camps. and when our
men must register for the draft they
viii be detailed to their own colleges
for training until they are needed

VETERAN JUMPS
OF BIG SHOW
Bob EnsIe Celebrated
9th Year in National
League on Aug. l9.

Mex York, Aug. S.-On the 18th
day Of this month Bob Emslie, vet
eran National League umpire. cele-
brated his tEenty-seventh birthday in
the mother league.
Emslie, one of the most successful
and consistent arbiters who has ever
called q strike in the big leagues, is
81 years of age, but he is still there
as a Judge Of play. Had the National
League disbanded before August Il
Emslie would have been out Of q Job
for the first time since he started
as an umpire, and this alone is suf-
ficient evidence OF his class.
The major league experience under
Emslie's hat would fill q young
library. and II would be an interest
ing library. too. But Bob 10 one Of
the nontalkative sort He just goes
about his umpiring. making q life
work of 1t, and says nothing about
himself or the trials and triumphs he
has encountered over a period Of
twenty-seven seasons.
Emslie was once a pitcher like
Hank O'Day. He got his start in
Canada, for he halls from that es-
timable town of Guelph, Ontario.
where he first saw the light on June
q. 1861. He started out playing ball
at a tender age and soon became
known as a crack semi-professional
pitcher. In 1875 he was signed by the
Harriston. Ontario. team, and in ad-
dition was given a hotel clerkship in
Harriston. which at least meant bed
and board. His salary ranged from
$50 to Sis per game, and Bob was
in his glory. He was a member of
the same team that held title to the
famous and original Tip O'Neil, and
he was proud of it.
Later he pitched for many other
clubs, among them the Merritts. Of
Camden, n. J.; Toronto. Baltimore.
and the old Philadelphia Athletics.
He attained his height as q major
league hurler with Philadelphia, and
it was there that he finally lost his
arm after a strenuous season in 1855.
Two years later he began his career
as an umpire in the International
League, later went to the old West
ern League, and finally came into
his own when he signed with the
National League. twenty-seven years
ago. During his career as an umpire
Bob figures that he has rendered over
2o0,o decisions, which is something
to live over and boast of.
