ed about 100000 head of horses and
mules, 100000 in the United States
and 100000 in France. only 10000
Of the latter number having been
shipped from this country.
Because of the big demand for
these animals on central west farms
the government has been hurrying
distribution, and when auctions now
advertised are completed 10000
animals will have been placed back
on farms since January 1st.
Cavalry horses cost the govern
ment an average of $165, artillery
horses $780, and mules $50, accord
ing to these figures. At the sales
cavalry horses have brought an aver
age Of $S5 artillery horses $3.50 and
draft mules $3.50. The sales have in
cluded many worn-out animals, some
selling for as little as $40. On the
other hand, many animals have
brought fancy prices.

 He held that by innuendo the con- plainant tried to read into the publica- tion charges and accusations neither intended nor warranted.
 Struckmeyer further held that since Milnes was an office holder, his fitness for office, either mentally of physically was a proper subject of inquiry. He contended that Dunbar was not liable for the publication, flor if his liability for publication in reference to such fit ness in these respects depended on the judgment of a jury, whether the pub lications were either true or free. from malice, the public interest must suffer, that the apprehension caused by such a liability would prevent that free dis cussion of the fitness to the candidates or public officers which is absolutely essential to the successful operation of a republican government

WAY back along in 1899 Harry
Bay was a youngster getting hts
start in professional baseball He
was a member of the Rock Island
team that year. Just a few years
back he returned to this city as
manager, being succeeded in that
role by Jack Tighe)
(By French Lane In Peoria Jour-
nall
It may interest a lot of Peoria
baseball fans to know that Harry
Bay, once famous Cleveland out
fielder, later a minor league man
ager and now a full fiedged local
business man, still figures promin-
emily in the worlds pastime record.
The old Stove league season has
to roll around to interest the base
ball bug in the record books. But
just as regular as the Winter
league race opens as the Winter
Record Book, he is busted of by
Mr.. Fan and is in very much de-
mand for the remainder of the on
season months.
Harry Bays record might have
gone unnoticed this year. but for a
remarkable performance staged by
Hap" Felsch, Chicago White Sox
outfielder, in an American league
contest early in the season.
When Felsch gathered in II flies
and had one assist to his credit.
many of the dopsters figured a new
record had been established. They
believed no outfielder had ever cap
tured more than IL flies in a sin

fore.

The record book proves other
wise, however, for by a close study
of it you will find that in a game

GEORGES DECLINES
TO FIGHT CHAMP

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. IL
Georges Carpenter, French heavy
weight champion, has refused an
offer made by Jimmy Dougherty,
the local boxing promoter to meet
Champion Jack Dempsey in a six
round no-decision bout in this city,
the bout to have taken place next
summer. Carpenter, it is said, has
been advised not to go into the
ring with the Utah wonder. Car
pentier is said to have been guar
anteed a purse of $4,000.
Dougherty will take a trip to
Europe this winter in an effort to
sign either Carpenter or Beckett
to fight Dempsey. The contest will
be staged either here or in Essing-
ton, a short distance from Phila-
delphia. where Dougherty believes
he can get permission to hold long
er bouts.

Independents Should Recall Past Encounter
HARRY BAY, FORMER MANAGER OF
ISLANDERS STILL HOLDS RECORD

between Cleveland and Boston on
July 10, 1904, Harry Bay who was
then considered the greatest out
fielder of all times, caught IL flies
in the Cleveland outfeld, thereby
establishing a record that has
stood all these years. When
Felsch captured his IL fly balls In
the last campaign, he came nearer
to the mark than anyone in the
last 10 years.
Bay is also tied for one other
baseball record That is in field
ing averages. In 1904. the same
season he hung up his put out
mark, he fielded for an average of
$50. The record has never been
surpassed, but has been tied twice,
Tommy Leach and Amos Strunk
hanging up marks that equaled it.
Still Studies Game.
Bay is probably one of the most
remarkable baseball characters in
the country. He continues to be a
close student of the game despite
the fact that he has been away
from it for the last several years.
He may go back as a minor league
manager one of these days. but if
business remains good, may stay
away from baseball entirely. Har-
~ has a couple of chances to get
franchises in minor leagues for
next season. He may decide later
to take over a club.
While he hasn't made much
noise about it, Harry was one of
the original Cincinnati supporters
in Peoria in the last world series.
He had the dope figured correctly
two weeks before the series start
ed. He attempted to tell many OF
his friends the Reds would win,
but only a few profted by the ad-
vice.

HIGH SCHOOL IN
FETTLE TO PLAY
AT GALESBURG
Captain Milstedt and Players in
Important COntest-SecOndc
Go to Clinton.
BY sPIGSKIN PETF.r

For the first time in many years
Rock Island high school will put
two teams on the road, the first
squad playing at Galesburg and the
seconds at Clinton. After a long
signal drill last night and a light
practice tonight both teams are
ready for the battles.
The first team will meet Gales
burg tomorrow on about equal
terms. Recently the down-state
team humbled Kewanee 81 to Z,
while last Saturday the Islanders
defeated the same team, 65 to o.
Although Blankenburg will not be
able to accompany the team be-
cause Of the eligibility rules, Coach
Kimmel considers the team Just as
strong with Olsen and full and OIL
weller at his half. There has been
daily scrimmages up at the Reser-
voir park and the first team has
gone the underlings for great gains
every night. The men are getting
in good form now and are con-
fdent of defeating Galesburg and
then walloping Moline the follow
ing Saturday, Oct. %.
Seconds Have Hopes.
Although nothing much is known
concerning the Clinton eleven, the
seconds are expecting a hard battle
and have ,practiced daily with this
view in mind. aMnager Clark will
take a bunch of hard boiled young
sters with him tomorrow who are
anxious to win their first game.
The seconds were kept at signal
drill last night long after the first
squad had gone to the showers, and
it was nearly seven bells before
they were allowed to quit. The
scrubs are using the same plays
that the first squad used against
Ottawa and kewanee and in addi-
ton a few fuzzy ones of their own.
If the second squad shows up good
against the IOwans, several games
will be scheduled for them. Games
are already booked with the Sec
ond teams of Davenport and Moline
for curtain-raisers for the regular
contests.
Fifteen men will go with each
team. The first squad will leave
Rock Island for GaIesburg at $40.

Seven of Big Ten Elevens Playing
Tomorrow Hope to Keep Their
States Unblemished.

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 17.-Football
elevens of the western conference
will face their first tests of the sea-
son tomorrow when eight teams,
one of them already eliminated as
champion contender, will GO into
action in inter-conference games.
With the exception of Purdue,
which was downed by Illinois, IA
to Z, the seven other big Ten"
teams playing tomorrow are in line
for the championship and defeat
will eliminate the losers from
further championship considera-
ton. The games will bring to-
gether Chicago and Purdue at Chi
cago, Iowa and Illinois at Urbana,
Northwestern and Wisconsin at
Evanston, and Indiana and Mime
sofa at Indianapolis.
Whether Northwestern will have
a successful gridiron year will de-
pend on its game with Wisconsin
The Badgers will enter the game
with the experience Of two harl
contests, while Northwestern has
only been in action once this sea-
son. The Purple clad players PLAY
ed inconsistent football against
DePauw a week ago, but Coach
Bachman has made every effort TO
eradicate the glazing faults OF his
charges and believes his machine
will be hitting on all cylinders
when it takes the field.
The Northwestern and Wiscon-
sin elevens are made up of expert
enced players and the contest Is ex-
pected to develop into the hardest
fought game on tomorrow's pro-
gram. Both teams are determined
to remain in the race, and with this
determination in mind, the players
will go into the struggle to play
themselves out.
While Northwestern and Wiscon-
sin are fighting It out at Evanston,
Chicago will take the field against
Purdue at Marshall field. 1t will be
Chicago's first conference game OF
the season. The Maroons remain
as much of a mystery to their
followers as they were a week ago
when they piled up a 124 to 0
score against the Great Lakes
Naval training station team. The
sailors were not aggressive and
did not give Coach Stage a real
opportunity to reveal the power OF
his aggregation.
Purdue VS.. Chicago.
Purdue will face Chicago with
the experience of two games aad
the team has been groomed to
drive Chicago out of the race II
possible. The Boilermakers show
ed determination in their game with
Illinois last Saturday. and, al
thought beaten, played stellar foot
ball In the closing half of the con
test. Chicago, however, is believed
to have the edge" and admirers OF
