HAMMOND TO
PLAY GAMES
AT CUB PARK
Contract Specifies That Games
Must Be Clean and Free From
All Rough Playing.

Chicago, Oct. Is. = President
veeck of the Cubs spent part OF
yesterday planning a gridiron on
the north side baseball park to fur
nish the arena for a series of Sun
day football games, the contract
for which had just been signed
with c. ]. (PauD Parduhn, man
ager of the Hammond professional
eleven.
Beginning week from tomorrow
with a game between Hammond
and the Minneapolis Marines, a
schedule of eight contests has been
booked by Manager Parduhn, in
Guiding dates with teams from
Cleveland, Detroit, Massilon, and
Canton, the last named being the
eleven led by Jim Thorpe of the
New York Giants.
To Test Pro Game Here.
The idea is to test the popularity
of professional football in Chicago
and endeavor to establish it on
some such basis as in other west
ern cities. The Hammond eleven is
composed entirely of former col
lege football players and will stick
to the collegiate style Of play.
It's in the contract between the
Chicago club and Manager Par
duhn that the games must be clean
and free from the rough stuff that
has characterized some of the
games between professional elev-
ems in Chicago in previous years.
The visiting elevens will be made
up almost entirely of former col
lege men and Walter Eckersall hsa
been selected to officiate as referee
at all the games.

Rock Island VIII Present Slight
Change with Lyle at Tackle
and Smith at Guard.
BY ]. /. HTGHRS.
Davenport
Rock Island

The eve OF the first contest Of
the year between Rock Island In
dependents and Davenport A. C.
finds members Of both teams keyed
TO a fine edge. Final practice this
afternoon found every man of each
side on his toes in full expectation
OF being at his best for the impor-
tant conflict set for the morrow at
Douglas park, Rock Island
The same feeling prevails among
the Tooters of both cities. On the
Iowa side OF the river the very at
mosphere seemed charged with an
under-current of anticipation and
hope. The pretzel town hackers
are not conceding victory to the
Islanders until the gamo has been
played and won. A feeling pos
sesses them that the dope Is due
to receive a solar pleXus punch.
On the other hand. no amount Of
argument could convince an Is
lander that the Independents stand
a ghost OF chance of being nosed
out. But, just the same. If the
dope holds true. there will be no
limit of the rejoicing in the town
Sunday night, because a victory
over Davenport, no matter how
easily or hard earned, always
makes the world brighter in Rock
Island.
With this situation prevailing,
the ones who get to Douglas park
early IRE going to 9At the best
seats The crowd is certain to ex-
coed that OF last Sunday by 1900
or more.
Shift Lineup.
Rock Island will take the field
with two changes. Lyle will be a.:
tackle and F. Smith at guard. 1t
was believed at first that Fred
Chickens shoulder would keep him
on the sidelines unless absolute
necessity required his appearance
in the fame, but Chick blew into
town this morning feeling in the
best OF shape. The services OF an
expert rubber in Minneapolis were
employed to take the pain out.
Robb will again be at center. He
will be opposed by Claypool, for
mer Davenport high star, and last
year at the university OF Iowa.
The latter lacks the experience and
ruggedness of the Islander.
Rundberg, an old head at the
professional game, will be opposed
at guard by the old standby, Fats
Smith. At the other guard, Sizes
will stack up against Wyland, a
speedy. aggressive player who is
counted upon to hold the big fell
low in check
Lyle will be seen at left tackle
for Rock Island IN the place of
Bashaw Opposite him is Shaw,
about whom little is known.
In Mitten at left tackle, Daven-
port has a wonderful man. He is
one Of the deadliest tacklers on the
team. In Buland, however, he will
find himself faced by one Of the
greatest tacklers in the country.
The edge in this particular line Pc
sition belongs to Rock Island.
Miller for the Iowans Is a speedy
wing man. Oak Smith should out
play him. The other end position
for Davenport will either be taken
care OF by Kennedy or Morrison.
The two of them could be used at
the same time. and still Marshall
would be the classier performer.
There is no comparison between
Ursella and Cummings for quarter
back. It is a case OF youth and in
experience against one OF the rec
country. In all-around ability, Ur-
sella is unquestionably far SUI
perior.
Kuehl, however. is a most dan
gerous man. Henry. though, is

greeted with a buoyant market to-
day reports from Pittsburg and
elsewhere that the steel strike was
rapidly falling to pieces. There
were sharp advances not only IN
the steels. but in other stocks, al
though L. s. Steel was the leader
in other respects except actual
movement. 1t advanced to LOG,
ssain of more than a point and its
strength was reflected throughout

greatest movement of the day with
uplift in moro than twelve points
TO the new high record of 216.
General Motors also reached a new
record with an advance of over
four points from yesterday. Bald
win. United Fruit, American Can,
stromberg. Kelly Springfield ami
Mexican Petroleum were all very
active and higher.
Cotton was strong and exchange
was steady.
Bethlehem Steel furnished the
sensation of the day with rise of
eight points at about the same
time the union leaders were an
nouncing a strike to begin in +he
plants of the company next Mon
day. Tho reason for this advance
Is that Bethlehem is doing very
profitable work with about the best
list of untitled orders of the Ameri-
can steel companies. not even ex-

For the movement in Crucible the
Short interest was no doubt largely
responsible. This is also true of
the slide up in Baldwin. There has.
been a material short interest based
not so much on the strike as on
the general labor situation These
shorts do not seem to realize that
the whole labor situation will be
clarified by the results of the steel
strike.

vance and the street seems to have
