Something to Think About

Sundays defeat of the Staleys
whose only relations to the Chi
caso Thorns were In Business Man
ager Grif Williams, Quarterback
Gepford and Right Guard Keefe,
who, in reality, was . member OF
the Chicago Tigers, served in more
ways than one as food for thought
concerning the future of the Rock
Island Independents.
Pre-eminent among the players
was the conclusion that it marked
the passing Of Rube Ursella as Is
lander coach. There isn't q doubt
that Rube has seen his best days as
= player and he Is regarded gener-
ally as too good Z fellow-too easy
going-to act as mentor to a fight
ing eleven.
The victory also proved the ut
ter disregard Of Chicago newspa-
pers for q football team which In
every way is superior to the Sta
leys, conceded national champions
after outplaying the Akron Indians
in a scoreless tie. A game Of that
kind would have packed Madison
Square Garden, New York, from
tanbark to girders and filled col
umns Of space in New York news
papers.
There is an insidious influence In
Chicago which never wished the Is
landers any great amount of veal
It is also probable that the Staleys
did not wish the public to see a
detailed description Of their utter
rout as inflicted by the Independ.
ents. Somebody put on the sof,
pedal.
The complete vindication Of
Louie Kohls and his permanent re
tention as player on future Rocl
Island elevens also evolved from
the game. Had Kohls been invited
to play with the Independents dur
ing the regular season it is obviou.
from his work against the Staley.
that there would have been n,
pussy-footing either on or OF tn,
field. kohls proved beyond doub
that he is one of the best football
players ever seen in a Rock Islam,
uniform.
| Yes, the game offers many thing
to think about. Among othe
things is the thought that the indie
pendents might have won tn
championship with more fight Xix
they showed Sunday instead OF ca
tering to the practices heltere
whins Of bygone stars, and to
eager espousal Of finances.

PASKERT LET OUT
BY CUBS; CLAIMED
BY REDS, REPORT

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Dode Paskert,
veteran Of veterans in baseball, and
last year the regular center fielder
for the Cubs, isn't through with
baseball yet. even il he does admit
to something like 80 summers in
age. President Veeck OF the Cubs
announced last night that, IN ac-
cordance with Manager Evers' plan
to build up team Of young fellows,
waivers had been asked on Paskert,
but that the Cincinnati club had re-
fused to waive and consequently
Dode has been turned over to the
Reds at the waiver price. It is
likely he would have been given
his unconditional release had no
big league club desired him.
As Manager Moran has on num-
erous occasions wished that he had
. good swatting right handed hitter
on his club to use against left hand
ed hurlers in tight games. he Is
sure to md in Dode the fellow who
can swat. 1t is hardly likely Pas
kert will replace on Of the Red
regulars, but he is sure to be in q
lot OF games. Dode himself thinks
hes - good - ever. and that halpa

ZBYSZKO INJURIES
ANKLE; BOUT WITH
GARDNI DEFERRED

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The scheduled
heavyweight wrestling bout be-
tween Stanislaus Zbyszko and Re-
nato Gardini, scheduled for the Col
iseum last night, was called OF yes
terday because Of an injury SUI
fered by the Pole last Saturday.
While training for the bout
Zbyszko turned his ankle. At the
time he did not think the injury
would prevent his appearance, but
yesterday the member became
worse and Manager Herman did
not think 1t advisable for his man
to 60 on.
Rather than substitute another
man, promoters called Oh the show
and refunded all money taken in
on the advance sale of tickets.
