Wade Of Pekin. sprang a surprise
here last night in the main event
Of the American legion boxing
show by giving Emmett Sheehan
Of Rock Island. the hardest fight
of his career in eight whirlwiud
rounds. The local consensus OF
that Wade earned = shade, but
Sheehan's aggressiveness in the
second round scored heavily among
his admirers. who claim Emmett
should get the credit of the edge.
Sheehan did not display the
speed of his former matches and
found in the Pekin feather q boy
who could take everything he had
and give as good in return. En-
NETT appeared to outweigh Wade
by several pounds, but the Pekin
scrapper Offset this advantage with
greater accuracy and cleaner

narily he should have had no

PROPOSED GRID
LEAGUE likely
70 Be ADOPT TED
By BRUCE COPELAND.

Professional football under the
title Of Western league. which. Is
planned, would include the Rock
island Independents, il being plan-
ned in Omaha and an early confer
ence Of representatives from eight
Of the larger cities il contemplat-
ed, according to word received here
from the Omaha promot-
ers.
The idea Of such . football con-
ference took root during the late
season in the minds Of Edison Shaw
and Fremont Fitzgerald. formar
Independents, who are acting in
with Charles L. Trim
Bile, secretary of the Ak-Sar-Ben
Exposition company Of Omaha, in
an effort to induce Rock Island.
Davenport, Minneapolis. st. Paul.
Des Moines, Kansas City and st.
Louis to organize teams and enter
the league.
Thinks Well Of Plan.
Previous communications from
Mr.. Trimble had been addressed to
Post Commander Dan Brennan OF
the Rock Island legion, who in turn
submitted the negotiations to Joe
Prendergast, who is now handling
the affairs Of the Independents,
Prendergast is in receptive mood
toward the league proposal and Gas
written to Mr.. Trimble requesting
further details for early publica-
ton.
II the general plan materializes
It will be the first major league
professional football organization
in the country. Jim Thorpe's Ma
tional Association Of Professional
Football clubs, as launched last
fall, failed to complete its functions
to the satisfaction Of all concern
ed, and it is believed to have ex-
pired on the rocks. Thorpe's de-
parture from Canton is also held
an i'll omen.
Certain tri-city interests are said
to be considering the organization
Of football team in Davenport, but
entering the proposed league has
not yet been indicated by those
who are believed to be interested
in the project.
Pairing Of Cities.
II the league plan goes through
the cities would be paired as fol-
lows: Rock Island and Daven-
port, Minneapolis and st. Paul, Des
Moines and Omaha, and Kansas
City and st. Louis. 1t has been
suggested that the teams would
play each other at least once. II
has also been proposed that Rock
Islam, Davenport, st. Paul AID
Minneapolis compete together in
the northern district, with Des
Moines, Omaha, Kansas City and
st. Louis playinS in the south. In
such q case the two winners would
be matched for either one or three
games to determine the champion
ship, leaving plenty Of time fol
