The above is the lineup that
Hammond will send onto the field
at Douglas park next Sunday
against the Independents, in what
IS expected to be the greatest foot
"~7 ~0-"n o--~~ staged IN the tt
-Aaser wafer Flanagan last
night completed negotiations with
Hammond for the appearance of
the latter here the coming Sab
bath. 1t will be the first, last and
only chance tri-city football bugs
will have this season TO view this
wonderful sssemblage of stars in
action. Manager Parduhn Of the
Indiana team informs that begin
ming Oct 19 his team will play
every one of its remaining games
at the White Sox park in Chicago.
The contract calls for $4,000
guarantee and expenses.
10000 Iron Pigs.
Ponder on this awhile, fans. It
costs $4,000 to put this team or
the field each Sunday, meaning an
outlay of at least $4,000 for the
season. Des Jardien alone, famous
as one Of the greatest centers ever
turned out in the west, and Walter
Camps all-American selection
twice, receives the tidy little sum
of $3.50 for each and every contest.
A Great Scoop.
BY booking this game, Flanagan
has pulled one of the biggest
scoops in the history of football in
the tri-cities. In keeping with his
announced policy OF bringing the
best to Rock Island, he quickly
cancelled the game already booked
with the st. Paul Seatons in order
to make room for Hammond. It
was the only chance, for Manager
Parduhn was emphatic in his state
ment that his team will not be
seen outside of Chicago after the
18th of the month. Davenport and
Moline tried and failed to land the
classic.
Every member of the Hammonds
established a reputation in his uni
versity that is beyond questioning.
Information from Parduhn is to
the effect that the first requirement
OF those trying out on the club for
POSITIONS is that he must be a COL
lege or university player of known
ability.
Some BOy-Des JardIen.
Therefore, let US begin with this
Des Jardien person. 1t is hardly
4 probability that a football fan in
the entire country has never heard
Of the prowess of this physical
wonder, product of Chicago univer-
sity. He is a giant in stature,
ranging aroundf feet inches and
tips the scales far and above the
200-pCund mark. During the years
Of 1914, 1915 and 1916, when he
was a member of the Maroons,
Walter Camp had no alternative
than to acknowledge him the peer
IF every pivot man.
AIl-SCrVice Choices.
In Jones OF Notre Dame, Ham
n,ond has one OF the best guards in
The country. He was Walter Eek
sreall's choice for that position on
the mythical all-we5tern eleven

And then we have Keefe, also of
