REMAIN HERE
Manager Flanagan Feels Absence
From Practice Injuries
Chances Of Team.
BY J. L. HUGHES.

Feeling that the interests and
welfare OF the team demand it,
Manager Walter Flanagan yester
day notified Players Dave Hayes
and Freeman Fitzgerald that the
Independents can no longer use
them, that is, as long as they are
unable 10 give their entire atten-
ton 10 tooLball by remaining IN
Rock Island during the balance OF
the season.

Cards Dangerous.
The Independents nope 10 defeat
the Cardinals by as great a score
as Akron, but, of course, will be
satisfied with victory by any mar
gin. Scores really mean nothing
as the game is played today. While
akron scored three touchdoWns
against the Cardinals last SUNDAY.
the latter might hold them even IN
another game.
AT any rate, the Independents
are not going in with that touch
OF over-contidence that is liable to
spell disaster. The Cardinals have
an aggregation of stars who should
put up a real argument. In Paddy
Drlscoll they have one of the great
est quarterbackS in the game.
Paddy can run, kick and pass with
equal facility and he will bear
watching at every stage of the
battle
Barry, at halfback, was a run
nlng mate of George Gipp at Notre
Dame last year. He constitutes a
menace to the locals, as does Kohl
er, formerly fullback at Northwest
ern university. At center, the
cards have RydZewski, former
Aotre Dame lineman, who will be
remembered here as a member of
the Hammond team which defeated
the Independents in 1919.
The Cardinals have been practic-
ing daily and should be in as good
physical condition as Rock Island.
Normal park is one of the best in
chicago, excluding of course, the
Cubs and White Sox grounds. The
Cardinals have a strong following
on the southside and it would not
be surprising if the teams play to
5000 admissions.
