fallback on the Moline Illinl team two
ar ago, was elected captain aud
Joe Smith, another high school star,
vas belt-cted as manager. Dick Liitt,
v.hoHe four years of high school play
leg marked him as a sensational
player, will coach the team. Games
will t arranged with both the Moline
ii. dependent teams and with such
o'her teams as can be lined up. The
first game will probably be a week
from tomorrow, negotiations being on
v. ith several Davenport aggregations.

While there are still several good
players who are yet to report, the line
up last night evidenced that the team
rill be a powerful one and capable of
upholding the city on the gridiron. In
fact tri-city chaiupionnhip aspirations
have blossomed for the first time since
the Independents won that title in
li'iiS. Coach Llitt lined up the team
IhM night as follows: Coulter, center;
Kobb and liudeller, guards; Koy Salz-

Traineo Eagles Are Used by the Tar
tar Tribe of Asia.
There are many ways of hunting the
' wolf in Russia, some very curious and
exciting and others as tame as target
practice. The most sportsmanlike way
ls by means of bounds, and all over
Russia today there are well to do
sportsmen who hunt the animal in this
fashion. Wolves are also taken in pit
falls and shot, while still another way
Is to drive in a sleigh through the for
est In time of hard frost, when Ine
wolves are bold with hunger. At the
back of the sleigh one or more sports
men lie snugly under their fur rags
with their rifles ready. A young pig ls
carried in the sleigh, and its cries soon
reach the ears of the lurking wolves,
who cannot resist following the sleigh
and are speedily shot.
One of the most picturesque ways of
hunting the wolf, perhaps, ls that
which one may see in the west of Asia
on the bleak Kirghiz steppes. The Tar
tar tribes are wonderful horsemen, and
they ride after the wolf In very large
parties. Not only are dogs used to
overtake the quarry, but because a
fleet wolf may get away from them,
eagles are used, being trained to balp
the hunter In very much the same
manner as falcons in olden times. The
great bird sits on the hunter's wrist
until it is let loose. Then It soars Into
the air, sails after the quarry and
swoops down upon it Its duty not
to kill, but to "bother" the wolf by
flapping Irs wings In tta face and driv
ing Its sharp claws into the animal's
back. Such hunting makea capital
sport for the riders; but:, apart from
this, wolf bunting ls a real necessity In
those parts, the brutes being far too
partial to the iambs and kids of the
Tartars' flocksWide World Magn

organized Olympics. The wtaner of
the contest will have the right to con

for the honor. The Illinl, apparently,
are not as strons as last year, when
they were acknowledged state cham

nevertheless. The Olympics are for

them being former West End Btars.

VALE OF THE WYE.
Glimpta of an Imposing and Romantio
Spot In Wales.
Those who travel through strange
places with their eyes aud their ears
open are likely to make strange dlscov
eries, but there are plenty of other
finds which, simply as a delight to tho
senses and without any wonder or cu
riosity attending them, are well worth
the trouble of trying to forget one's
preoccupation In what be sees and
bears.
Both these pleasures of i ravel come
to those who will fare slowly and ob
servingly through tho Vale of the Wye
In Wales. It seems almost like a chap
ter from some magniUcent Apocalypse
to travel on to Cader and riynlinion
and glimpse the imposing grandeur of
the visions that await the appreciative
eye. Half of Wales seems to lie before
the traveler. The mountains of tho
Cader range loom loftily, and Snow
don, of the lakes, seems to beckon him
on. The long headland of Carnarvon
hugs half a aa In the crook of Us arm.
Pembroke's ragged capes gleam be
yond the lovely mountainous heights.
No sound breaks the vast silence. You
are shut off from the bustling world.
The hawk circles in a noiseless void
above the slopes whitened with graz
ing sheep. For a moment there may
be the feeble pipe of the w heatear, and
for another brief space a lark may lilt
praise to heaven. But that is all.
