New York, Feb. 25.-John c. Toole,
attorney for the National Baseball

ney for former Federal League clubs,

LOSES SATURDAY
Local College Basketball Players Meet
Second Defeat In Game With
Bradley Men.
BLOONBERG MAKES BASKETS
DOubet, Forward for Peoria Aggrega.
ti0n, Decides Outcome OF
Battle.
BY BOB OLMSTED.

After a crushing defeat, Al to 10, at
the hands of Eureka, Friday night,
Augustana came back to form Satur-
day night and accepted defeat from
Bradley at Peoria by but two points,
the score being IA to II. Both teams
had previously in the season walloped
Augustana on her home floor.
In the latter game, Augustana put
up a defensive game that made the
issue at all times uncertain. At the
end of the first half, the score was
0 to 7 and the second half resulted in
tie. The contest was one OF the
most hard fought in the entire sea-
son. Augie watched Doubet, the stel-
lar forward, closely, with the result
that he was limited to one field goal.
He and Vonochan were star men for
the Peoria squad. The unerring abll-
ityof Doubet in free throws really de-
cided the outcome of the game, as he
profited by the Swede fouls sufficient
ly to loop six tosses.
Bloomberg for Augustana excelled
in basket shooting, Bill Anderson put
up his usual floor game and Almer
starred at guard

CUBS.CIANTS WILL
GIVE ALL PENNIES
TO CHARITY FUNDS

New York, Feb. 25.-The New York
Giants and the Chicago Cubs-both
cubs of the National league-are the
only major league organizations that
have formed any definite plans for the
use of the surplus pennies which will
come from the war tax and the added
few cents decided on recently at a
meeting of a committee here.
Reports received Saturday show that
the club owners. with these two ex-
ceptions, either have formed no def
mite plan or see no reason why they
should donate their surplus to charity
Secretary John B. Foster OF the
Giants said that club had donated 40,-
600 free admissions to soldiers last
year and in addition had given huge
sum to charity. This will be enlarged
this year The fund from surplus pen
MES will be laid aside solely for char
table purposes. Walter Craighead
secretary of the Cubs, favors giving
the whole thing to charity.

than an ankle is shown although the
girls do actually jump into bed. In
nighties? No, pajamas. Jackson,
Mrs Marvin's butler. is crime-crazed
over seeing so much of the movies
and he decided to rob 'the hand that
feeds" He leaves behind, in the afore-
said boudoir, his cap, which contains
in the lining. 500 bill. His attempts
to recover this get him into all kinds
of funny situations. The title comes
from one of the characters, Lord
Michael Kildare, an English officer.
He is really a war hero but wants
to keep this fact secret. One of the
girls who loves him, wants him to be-
come hero, and he hires Jackson to
turn the trick for him. This might
have worked out splendidly did not
Jackson try the same thing with every
other man in the party. But in the
end the things work out very well for
Kildare, the girl and every other cou-
ple.

ability which has brought him into dis

promptly rejects the puny youngster
