In a triumph of old straight football, helped by the best breaks in luck, the Maroons downed the boilermakers, 21 to 0. What there was of the modern game had only a ragged exhibition. Of the score of attempts at forward passes. Purdue tried, all but two or three were failures, and one, intercepted by Sparks, of Chicago, for an 185-yard run and touchdown, was disastrous. Still, the Purdue efforts made the game spectacular and there was always the chance that one of Its desperate shots would go straight.

The game was rough as well as ragged. Penalties and substitutes were frequent. The Purdue team was hardly over the effects of its rough game with the Badgers. The Line-ITp. Chicago.

isuggan will oe next manager of Commodores. AFTER NEW PLAYERS Reserve List From Last Season Gives Locals Strong Nucleur for Coming Year. With the Three-I league properly organized for three years, it is now time to turn attention to the makeup of the Decatur baseball club for the coming season. In the first place, Elmer-Dug-gan will be the manager for the coming year. A playing manager is wanted by the local officials, and for this reafon and no other, George Reed will not ba In charge of the Commies next year.

Athough Duggan has not signed, the announcement of his name as manager was withheld on account of the fact that he was doped to be drafted by a higher league, but now that it is definitely settled That he will not be drafted, action can be taken between the club and Duggan for the coming year. Duggan is considered one of the headiest and hardest working players in the league today. He is the besi first oaseman and knows enough aDout baseball to make an excellent leader for a team. The local officials will get in touch with Duggan as soon as possible and get him signed up as manager. Duggan will accept the position, as he stated that he would befor3 he left for his home at the close of tire season.

Strona; Xucleun f6r Start. The 1914 players left to report are Catchers O'Brien and Munch, First baseman Duggan, Shortshop Conger, Third baseman Infieldcr Brown, outfielders Biltz and Flanagan, and Pitchers Schlansker, Kaiser, Holland and Myers. This makes it necessary to rign a second baseman and an outfielder, and some pitchers. Myers probably will not be asked to report in the spring, while the other three hurlevs will be sent transportation. New hurl-ers will be signed and It is the intention of the local officials to have the best pitching staff in the circuit when the opening bell is sounded in April.

Plans have been discussed for the purchase of a left handed pitcher and also of several other experienced players. A bunch of rookies will not be brought on in the spring as was the case last season, but a certain number of experienced men 'will be on hand for the opening of the training season and the team will be better prepared to start in on the opening day to dish up high claes baseball. Last year it was one month after the season started before the team got to going good and It was all because the training season started late and because a bunch of amateur players took the time during the training season. Prospects Bright for Teams. The prospects for a championship team.

In 1915 look better today than they have any time during the laet several years and all because the officials are interested and want to give the fans the best baseball possible. The team will be run as economically as possible, but not so as to interfere with having a first class baseball team. Davenport and Peoria are at present Just as strong as they were during the season and these clubs are making plans for strengthening their clubs, in order to raise the caliber of the Three-I league as high as possible. A new club secretary will be named for the coming season. H.

P. Han-thorn, secrtary of the club last season announces that he cannot afford to spend the time in the interest of the club on account of his business. Juet who will be appointed is not known, but the local officials are considering several persons for the position.

The game was a battle thruugn-out between the local's backfieid line Blunging and tne punting of Fithian, who usually drove the ball out of danger for the Bloomers. The locals successfully worked, two forward passes email gains. Bloomington tailed to work, a single pass. Dine plunges bv Games, Brandt and MacWherter gilned the ground for Decatur.

The sensational player of the contest was Kight Guard Fielder of the Bloomers, He figured in every play and was a sure tackier. He usually broke the Decatur line and did not miss lingle tackle. So Score In First Period. At the first of the game it was an tvea match between the two teams and each squad was unable to make 10 yards in four downs. The ball was carried to and fro over the field, but was not advance until after the first quarter, which ended with the ball on Decatur's 20-yard line.

At the beginning of the second quarter the Decatur team carried the ball to within six inches of the goal line, but was unable to get it over in four downs. Bloomington. punted for 2i yards and the Decatur men began to inarch back up the field. Bloomington punted nearly every time that tney received the ball and Decatur advanced by steady line plunging. Toward the last of trie half the local boys began to make use of passes, but as nearly all were blocked by the opposing team, settled down again to steady line work.

Advancing in this manner, Brant was at lat pushed oyer the line for a touchdown. Barber kicked out and MacWherter received. Keichfelt failed to kick goal and the score stood to 0 for Decatur.

The Decatur men did most of their advancing on line work, and as fast as Bloomington received the ball she punted.

The last quarter was played brilliantly by both teams, and at the end of the game the ball rested on Decatur's 20-yard line, after a punt over the goal line by the Bloomers. During the entire game the Decatur men were able to keep on the offensive and the Bloomington players were unable to break througgh for more than a few yards. At the last it did not attempt to rush the line, but relied on her punts to keep Decatur from scoring. Player Star. Brant, MacWherter.

Uames and Barber did stellar work on the Decatur team, while the Bloomington team has some good material in the back field, and Fielder especially on the line did extraordinary work. Barber did all the punting for Decatur and Fithian did all this -work for Bloomington. MacWherter was the star in the center rushes and did interference work, and File was able to discover holes and dart through for some long runs. Brant did better than usual on the end plays nd Games gained some long distances la this way. Une-lTpg DECATUR.

BESI BET FOR TITLE Springfield Coach Declares That University City Eleven is Best He Has Seen. Champaign High school football eleren looms up as the champions of Central Illinois and possibly the state, as the result of its victory over Springfield Saturday, 30 to 0. Springfield has a strong team and when it was defeated by this large score. It means that the University City lads have a powerful eleven. Coach Wentz of the Springfield eleven stated Saturday night that Champaign won on its merits.

He said that his team was outplayed and even with his star Sternaman in the full game, he knew positively that he would have been dtfeated. Coach Wentz gives much praise to Champaign and states that it is easily the best team in this section of the state and stands a mighty good chance to win the state title. There is much speculation as to the outcome of the Dcratur Springfield game next Saturday in Springfield. Coaches of both teams will work for a victory, and it would not be surprising if Decatur downed the Capitol City eleven. Areola lays claim to a Central Illinois championship and negotiations are on for a game between Areola and Champaign.

Areola has a light but fast team. Champaign is heavy and fast. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 25.

Two for-' ward passes groatly aided Pennsylvania in defeating the Carlisle Indian football team on Franklin Field Saturday by 7 to 0. The Redmen outplayed the Pennsylvanians in the first half and the Quakers are lucky that they did not score on them in that time. A lucky pickup saved the Pennsylvanians several The" Indians fairly carried Pennsylvania off her feet at the beginning of play, but there was almost a complete reversal of form in the last two periods.

"Williamson Fitzpatrick on the Junior team were on the 'varsity quintet last year, and are both strong men. Young and Barnes are playing most of the fine work on the Sophomore squad and Little and Wheelhouse have had good training on the Freshman team last year. Gepford, on the Junior team, is doing fine work on the gaurd position, and, although he does not make any baskets, he features in the games by his steady blocking and brilliant passing.

Mlntun. CENTER FIELD Parjani. RIGHT FIELD F. Liston (Cnpt). Watkins is easily the first selection for catcher on the All-Star Semi-pro team of Decatur.

Goessler and Dressen are "the two best bets in the pitching staff as their work this season clearly showed. W. Behrns, although he did not lead the f'rst baseman in hitting, is a better improved first baseman than any body else in the league and deserves this place. Herbrig of the Come Across is first selection for the second base Job. Herbrig is a good player and one that is always in the game fighting for a victory.

Maxey js given the shortstop position on account of his all around playing. He hit better than any other shortstop during the city series and fielded as well. Schultz is first selection for third base. The outfield Is the hardest selection to make on account of the lack of good men in this department. The selections are Mlntun, Parjani and Frank Liston.

Liston only-played a few games, in the outfield but his work in hitting and in fielding and his -ability to manage a team deserves a place on the selection. jAN'S character oft is written on his face; his judgment you fre 1 1 gauge by his clothes.
