Referee Strong ruled the ball back and bended it to the Quays. Coach Bagshaw, who was in the _ stands, said it was the first time he had ever seen such a stunt Pulled in all his years of football experience. aust GOSSIP Not to detract trom their glory, it would be undoubtedly interesting to see the Franklin champions and Lincoln hook up with the Lincoln team having its present lineup in the field. Lincoln defeated Queen Anne 20 to 0. When Lincoln bowed before Franklin they were without the services of Dean Boyle, their great quarterback, Hutchinson, their giant ®uard, and Gordon Bruce, their Plunging fullback. ‘With these men in the game and with Franklin at top form, it would ‘be one sweet battle to wate: PREP GRID FINALE TODAY The local high school gridiron weanon is being closed today with the annual Lincoin-Broadway clas. sic.

It wan sald that ef forty might be made to prevent star players from going to the Coast after the close of the major league season, However, when stars Like Cobb, Sisler, Hornsby and Hellman said they had ac cepted contracts, the magnates held their words. The promoters, however, failed to get some near stars, and it is sald the fans out there, now that they have seen the quartet of big leaguers, have had their fill, Football and other attractions have #o cut into the attendance, that the league may not be able to weather the storm It is a cineh dt will not be In the field next year doubt a great many people have the impression that Ruth feels his greatness.
