Poor Year for Football.

Various explanations have been advanced
for the failure of the Rock Island independents
the local professional football team, to attract
the patronage at the home contests this sea
that it did in previous years. One is that
the management erred in not staging more
games the local field. thereby causing the
local fan TO lose interest in the team. In this
connection it is only fair to say for Manager
Walter Flanagan that he would have preferred
to have played some oe the games that were
staged in other cities at home had he any as
surance that there would have been patronage
to justify the financial outlay incident to
bringing two of the teams together here.
Manager Flanagan had an expensive organ
ization his hands and found he was surer
of necessary financial returns by filling en-
gagements on the road than by playing games
at Douglas park. For all games played on the
road he was at least guaranteed enough to
cover the actual expenses Of his team. When
he played at home he was obliged to first meet
the guarantee that the visitors demanded and
then look TO what was left to meet his own
payroll and operating expenses.
1t would be misstating the facts to say that
interest is tagging in football. On the con-
trary, interest is growing, has been evil
denced by the large crowds that have stood in
Second avenue and watched the playing of
The Argus grid board.
Possibly the best explanation of the poor
patronage at the games at Douglas park this
season is the money scarcity. Where last
season the attendance would run between three
and four thousand at game, this year it has
fallen in some instances below one thousand.
This was disastrous to the management, as
anyone Will understand when considering the
heavy expense OF maintaining such d team OF
stars as the Independents
However, the Independents is not 70 be dis
continued as a football enterprise. Manager
Flanagan states that while naturally ne has
been disappointed with the outcome this sea
son, he is confident thai next season the stu
alton wiu be better. and 70 that end he has
made arrangements for several o. the men who
played for hin-lbls yer 70 return next

For l,SOO years Easter has been a stated fes-
tivaI of the Christian church, but never a fixed
one. Now there seems reason TO believe that in
stead of wandering between March % and March
%, according TO the WITNESSES of the moon its
variations may be limited The vatican has Just
announced an astronomical conference which
will be held in Rome in April under the pres
idency of Cardinal MERCER, and which may
undertake the reforming of the calendar and
the restriction of the Easter date Under the
existing ecclesiastical rule Easter may fall on
any one of SO days-and about one in Eve comes
in March, as did the last one.
Some calendar reformers have even sug-
gested a radical revision which would make the
same week day come always on the same date
and their views sure TO be presented
Others, and these are more sure of a hearing
will urge that the festival be assigned TO the
third Sunday after the spring equinox-thus
falling always between April and April 23
according to the week day of the equinox.
Whatever may be the decision the plan may be
expected to become universal Throughout
western Christendom. The Greek Catholic
church, has always chung to the Julian calen-
dar in preference to the Gregorian. so that they
usually have two Casters every year. 1t will /,
undoubtedly be slow to follow Rome
