GREAT SUCCESS

High 'Schsol Tourney Nets Island
efS Substantial Sum-Figurcs.
ssrpass Little 10 Meet.
By FRIER TC0LLISTER

The district basketball tourna-
ment held at Augustana gym
Thursday, Friday End Saturday bids
fair to become one Of the best pay
Ing meets In the state. Although
this il the first time that the tour
ney was held in Rock Island about
$1,000 was taken in.
This will pay all the expenses
and leave quite nest egg for the
high school. Last year was the
nrst time that the competing
squads ever made any extra mon
ey at Galesburg, but even more is
expected to be left over next year
when the tournament is more es-
tabished in Rock Island.
Tourney . Fixture.
/, After the attendance at the finals
Saturday night there is hardly any
danger Of the tourney being shifted
from Rock Island. According to
Manager Clark's figures, there
were $500 paid admissions. II
Rock Island and Moline had COM
POtCN AOI III oI pAoNCy tnC oltGh0oAhSO
would probably have exceeded 5000.
More money was made on the To-
cal tournament than on the Little
Nineteen" meet at Decatur. Ac-
cording to the college figures, only
81 800 was cleared.
Future Looks Good.
The attendance at the basketball
tournament looks good for other
interscholastic contests heTe in the
future. There is no reason why the
quad-cities should not be the CEN
ter for school meets of all kinds
and after the showing made last
week more of these contests will
probably be held in Rock Island.
Local fans will have another
chance to support high school ath-
letics this spring when the annual
big eight" track meet is held here
instead OF at Galesburg. The meet
has been held under the auspices OF
Knox college since ITS organiza
ton but Augustana will have
charge of it this year.
The meet will be held on the ex-
cellent track at Browning field, Mo-
line, and banQuets and other cele-
brations will be given at the col
lege.

Collecting Harvest Help.
AS a means of correcting the evil,
the agents recommend punching the
men at central points, such as st.
Louis and Kansas City and requiring
the farmers to register for the actual
number of men they need. The farmer
is then required to certify the Ia
borers' railroad fare to their deSt1na-
ton. In this manner, the agents as
sert. hoboes, who have no intention of
working, would be eliminated, thou
sands of accidents would be prevented
and men would not leave jobs, how
ever poor they maye be, to go to the
harvest fields and be disappointed.
The railroads would run special trains
allowing the harvest hands reduced
fares.
For the first time in history harvest
hands are coming in from the west,
it is said The influx from Colorado
and wyoming is twice as heavy this
season as from the east, 1t was stated.
The men from the west are for the
most part bona fide workers who are

"and it can't pay men to come from n

Kansas would have the largest hobo
