FLANAGAN Wins
PRAISE OF ALL
Sir Walter Biggest Little Man in
Tri. Cities Because He Is Best
Hustler and Booster.

Walter H. Flanagan, manager and
jack-of-all-trades for the Rock Is
land Independents, is the biggest
little man in professional football.
The point might be stretched and
the statement added that 'Napo-
leon" is the biggest little man in the
tri-cities.
There is something about Sir
Walter that is remindful Of = small
boy coasting downhill in a rickety
cart. He doesn't know where he's
going, but he's on his way. Per-
haps. in this way, Walter has been
able to forget his cares; and in the
course of a football season, he has
many.
LET Flanagan Do IT.
To Flanagan goes the credit of
remodeling the Independents. step
by step, from a team Of local war
riors to near-champions. Nobody
else seemed to care for the job.
Let Flanagan do it," was the hue
and cry each fall when the football
question arose. And Flanagan DID
do it, and did it as none other could.
Sir Walter has made near
champs out of the Independents de-
spite the retarding effect Of insid-
ious influences that, from time to
time, have sought to belittle Flani-
gan's grand work with prejudice
and petty small-t0wn Jealousy
But nothing seemed Of enough &C.
count to stop the boy" for now
he is gyrating along with more per
than ever before.
