were threatened the entrants were
evenly matched and none of the
winners triumphed by big margins.

Peterson, won the free-for-all in
straight heats, and in an exhibit
ton pace attempted to cut down
Colonel Sparks track record. but
failed. The gray gelding stepped
the mile in 2:19. Colonel Sparks
mark is 2:17h.
Three heats were necessary to
determine the winner in the 2:30
trot- Dan o., owned by Suess
Brothers, COPIED the first frame,
but Native Conqueror, driven by
in the succeeding two.
Make B, Lyman Windle's bay
mare, annexed the blue ribbon in
the 2:40 class. Red Patch, owned
by Floyd Stone and John Patch,
Jr., staged a lively fight for second
honors, but the former won out.
There were two motorcycle races,
each five miles in distance The
hrst was for stock machine and
the second for racing types.
Following are the results:

WILL BE NO RAIL
STRIKE, IS VIEW
OF JOHN GRUNAU
sOutiolUi Leader Says
Fund OF $4,000, 900
Not Enough.

Chicago, Oct. fZ.-(Associated
Press 1.-The railroad brotherhoods
have a strike fund of $4,000. goo.
which is insufficient for general
strike of any length. John Grunau,
president of the United Association
of Railway Employees of North
America, and leader OF the so-called
OUTLAW" strike of last year, de-
clared today.
Union Ranks Weakened
Grunau has issued a circular to
the $4,000 members of his organ
ization outlining the association S
position in event of a strike, but
declaring that he does not believe
there will be walkout. He points
out that the brotherhood leaders
have weakened their own ranks by
circulation OF reports that out
laws" will step in as strike-b break
ers in revenge for the efforts of
the old Organization to break the
Grunau strike in April, 1920.
Grunau denies any such inten-
ton.
There are thousands of our
members walking the streets today
while their families suffer-" the cir
cular says. why? Because when
We were on strike in 1920 for ICE
days recognized brotherhood lead
ers established strike breaking anC
scab herding agencies in all term
inals affected by our movement
causing our defeat"
Attacks BrotherhoOds.
The circular concludes with thu
| statement:
The so-caIled outlaws will no
expel any of their members TO
participating in strike, whethe
ordered by their leaders or by an
other organization. Neither will
| they revoke the charter of any 10
cal that goes on record to paTtici
pate in strike, and most positively
this association will not esta blisl
strike breaking or scab herding
agencies, as was done by the fam
Gus brotherhoods while the mem
beers of our association were on va,
cation last year."
Grunau said his union has
216 locals in the United States and
Canada. Under the name of the
Chicago Yardman's association he
called a strike in 1920 that for q
time threatened TO paralyze the ma
tons transportation facilities.

ARGUS TREATS
5000 FANS TO
FOOTBALL GAME
Players Are Cheered Although Con-
test Is Actually Played
in Chicago.

Three thousand football fans,
many OF whom came to Rock Is
land from outlying towns and vii
lagos, saw the Independent-Chicago
Cardinal game at Chicago yester-
day reproduced on The Argus grid
iron board, play by play. The in
terest was so intense that the crowd
felt moved to call the names of the
players. urging them on to victory,
although the actual play was $50
miles distant.
A crowd of approximately 1000
witnessed a similar reproduction
of the Illinois-Iowa game played
at Iowa City Saturday afternoon.
The success oSIthis distinctly new
and novel feature, in which The
Argus has taken the lead, is attest
ed by the fact that persons who
find it impossible to comprehend a
football game by actually seeing ii
played readily understand by
watching the board.

law by transferring the labor board

Meanwhile both sides had before
them the proposals put forth last
night by the public group" of the
railway labor board in which the
railroads were urged to make a
rate reduction at once, on the
ground that wages have already
been once reduced by the board and
before they are cut again rates
should come down.
The board said the rate reduc-
ton should be measured by the
wage reduction order in July.

Let the carriers give immedi

measured by the July wage reduc-
ton and the benefits derived from
the new rules and devised under
the supervision of the interstate

greatest degree of relief to the

reductions be withdrawn until the
rate reductions have been COM

MAY TRY TO ABOLISH
OBJECTIONABLE RULE
Eliminate Goal From Touchdown.
Says Cavanaugh'
Many Close Students Of Football Have
for Years Favored Abolition OF
Play-chicago-ohlo State
Game Is Cited.

Frank w. Cayanaugh, former Dart
mouth star and successful coach at
Boston college, declares that ''the goal
from touchdown is going to be elimi-
mated"
Cavanaugh takes the attitude that
the presence Of the rule permits OF
many injustices in the game. He says !:
"VIth the old rules 1t made a con-
siderable difference where the ball was
downed after a player had gone over
the line for a touchdown. 1t did seem
an injustice that because a team hap
pened to go over the goal line for a
touchdown while close to the side lines,
the try for a goal should be a more
difficult matter than If the ball had
been downed directly under the goal
posts or close TO II.
''FOr that particular reason a great
many close students Of the game have
for years favored the entire abolition
Of the play. / feel positive that a
great majority Of the coaches would
like to see It eliminated. However,
there are some people who stu cling
to the goal-after-touchdown idea. Some
Of them stand high in the game and
In order to appease the minority as
well as the majority, the rule was
changed prior toethe start Of the 1920
season. In an effort to eliminate as
nearly as possible the loss Of games
through the failure to kick a goal after
touchdown it was ruled that all such
attempts should be made from a point
directly In front Of the goal posts.
Ordinarily It would seem that the
kicking of such a goat would be very
easy matter. As rule it is, yet many
an. important game was decided last
fall through the medium Of goal
after touchdown. Take one Of the
Western conference games for exam
pie. Ohio State defeated Chicago z
