ISLANDERS SET
FOR GAME With

Thought To Be In Best Of Form
for One Of the Two Games De.
Gliding Tri.City Title.
By ~SPHEROID SLIM,

Tonight Is set for the decisive
battle between Rock Island and
Davenport at the J. B. Young
school across the river. This game
will decide whether Rock Island or
the Iow-ns are to tie Moline in the
tri-city match for the golden
crown. The locals have every
thing to win in this contest and
are strainng every nerve. sinew
and several other parts Of the body
in order to bring home the bacon.
Dope is all mixed up this season
and it is impossible to tell which
team is the strongest. Rock Is
land defeated Davenport early this
season which gives the Islanders
little superiority over their op-
ponents. On the other hand the
Iowans will be playing on their
home floor which gives them a
slight advantage. Who ever wins
will have to put up a mighty fight
in order to retire victor.
The Islanders are confident of
razzing the gentlemen across the
stream to considerable degree.
Coach kimmel has had his merry
men out each and every night for
a long practice and announced this
morning that the team was in the
fittest shape possible to return

House resolution, after it had been

He MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN TO-DAY,

When the soap-box orator tells
you that popular unrest in Amerci-

American history. For instance,
suggest that he turn to a speech de-
iivered to the United States Senate
by Daniel Webster in 1888. Web
Ster said:
There are persons who con-
stantly clamor. They complain of
oppression, speculation, pernicious
influence of accumulated wealth.
They cry out loudly against all
banks, corporations, and all means
by which small capitalists become
united in order to produce import.

That speech is as applicable 10

a half century hence, as it was to
