FERNDALES FALL

Smashing Attack of Chunk

Feature Game.
By VEDDER GARD

The Ferndaies, pride OF the west
side, went down before the brawny
Jonesboro eleven Sunday at Washing
ton Park by a score of to 0. A big
crowd saw the game. The locals
fought a plucky battle and deserve
much credit. But there was too
much weight in the line; and then
there was Chunk" Helvie.
"Chunk" seems to improve as the
years roll on. He was at his best

attack, he went four and five yards

On the defense he was bear. His

The Ferndale plays in great fashion
The only score of the game was a
splendid piece of strategy by this
same Chunk" After the teams had
fought 1t out in the first half with nc
decision reached, the break came in
the third quarter that won for the
visitors. After the locals had been
driven down into their own territory,
for some reason they failed to kick
out of danger. At this time JonesbOro
was stopped on the one-yard line. But
they were not to be denied.
Jonesboro Scores
A rather poor kick gave Jonesboro
the ball on the thirty-yard line and
the team marched down to tho ten
yard line. Hero Helvie dropped back
on the fourth down to the twenty
yard mark as though to attempt IA
drop kick. The stage was all set for
a score from the air. Chunk has
kicked many point for Jonesboro
and most everybody in the park, in
cluding the Ferndale players, expected

leader fooled the opposition with a
smart play. He tossed a forward pass
into the long reaching arms OF b.
Smith. Helvie drop-kicked FOR the
point after touchdown.
The Ferndtle line was played
throughout bat always braced at
critical times. The local backs could
not make much through the visiting
forwards and end runs and forward
passes were resorted to. The air at
tack was tho greatest threat OF the
losers and some fine passes were com
pleted.
Smiths Arc Stars
Big Smith in the line for the Jones
boro team played a great game and
Joe Smith in the backfield was shifty.
Meyers. who substituted in tho back
field, made a speciality OF humping the
receivers of forward passes. on

Tho Ferndales made their most sus-
talned attack at the end OF the third
and beginning of the fourth periods
At this time gains were made through
the Jonesboro line. Nelson and

the final period when Jess Athey in

In clownish bravado he presented
that fulsome tummy to be hammered

whacked away at it with dull thuds

pretense at sprightliness which you

General Grants hobby was, she
quickly replied, Smoking" and
added that she did not recall ever
seeing him without cigar.
This Moline resident became &C
quainted with General Grant dur
ing a fair in St. Louis. which was
conducted for the purpose of rails
ing funds for crippled soldiers and
the families of men who had been
killed or wounded iQ the service.
She knew Mrs. Grant and her
daughter more intimately than the
general.
During this fair both were very
active in assisting to gather funds
for the needy. Miss Grant was but
tot of six or seven years at that
time For several hours each day
during this fair she sat in a wood
en- shoe. four feet long and two feet
wide, on a prominent street of st
Louis and sold dolls. Il remember

Mrs. Grant was born" she added
Her name was Dent before hel

He was not only a good man but
