THE CARNIVAL POOR SPORT
Two 1o-Round Bouts Put on in Place of
Thomas Rhodes Match Were Cut
Short BY FouIing.

The main bout of the evening a fias-
co, Joe Thomas OF San Francisco fail
ing to appear for his match with Billy
Rhodes of Kansas City, the carnival
of the Davenport Athletic club at Claus
Groth was an unsatisfactory exhibi-
ton last evening. though the manage.
ment is not to blame for the fact A
letter received from Thomas manager.
Harry Foley, shows that Sig Hart of
Chicago, manager of Rhodes. who was
depended on to forward the articles to
Foley, failed to do so. and Thomas re-
manned in Philadelphia. ignorant of the
fact that preparations for the fight had
proceeded to the point of selling the
tickets and stretching the ropes.
Rhodes declared last night that he will
break his contract with Hart Thomas
telegraphed that he had no knowledge
of the closing of the fight
Ended by Fouls.
In place of the Thomas Rhodes con
test. the club brought together Ed
Purdy of Bloomington and Jack Carey
of Ottumwa for 10 rounds. They are
slashing welters. Purdy fought wildly
through three rounds, but occasionally
landed hard on Carey. After three
rounds Referee Abe Pollock awarded
the fight to Purdy on foul, Carey per-
sisting in hitting low in the clinches
after being warned.
Frank zimmerman of Davenport and
Kid Powers of Clinton had their 10
round go cut short in the third round
also. the referee declaring that Ammer-
man had fouled Powers. zimmerman
had Powers going from the start. and
the crowd was thoroughly dissatisfied
with the decision. Billy Rhodes refer
eed the latter event.

which four negro boxers participated

Ardo Mitchell of this city won the
championship in the first flight of the
tournament of the Rock Island Arsenal
Golf club by defeating ]. d. Cady of
Moline in the final yesterday, in a fine
exhibition, 2 up. The match was wit
messed by gallery of over 200 specta-
tors, who followed the game in car
riages and automobiles. The links
were in perfect condition, and the con
ditions generally were ideal for the
match. The second flight was won by
Frank Holiday of Burlington, who de
feated n. d. Middleton of the Arsenal
club, up, to play. The final in the
third flight was taken by Wilfred Ar
mold of Galesburg. who defeated Maur-
ice Connolly of Dubuque, up, Z to
play.
Scoring of the Match.
The Mitchell-Cady match was the
feature of the afternoon, the fact that
the two players were both local men,
and had retired their opponents from
the other clubs in the earlier rounds
of the tournament, adding interest. On
the first hole Mitchell made the green
in two, and by a fine put made three
He made the second hole to 6, and on
the third, by hard luck, Cady lost, to
). Cady pulled his drive for 100 on
the fourth hole, and took a brace on
the fifth, winning the hole 6 to by
good playing. Again on the sixth hole
Cady won. 5 to 4, making 2 up. On the
seventh Cady made 4, and Mitchell
drove his second into the long grass,
and lost the hole to 4 The eighth
tied, and Mitchell won the ninth, to
4, making him 2 up, at the turn. Com
ing in, the 10th and 18th were tied,
and the 18th was won by Cady, the
18th being tied again. Mitchell won
the 18th. with 5, and tied the 18th.
with 5. The 10th was tied, with fine
score of 8, Mitchell arriving 240 yards
to the green. Cady won the 18th. to
4, and Mitchell took the 18th by the
same count, thus winning the match.
other Flights Uninteresting.
The games in the other flights were
less interesting. the match between
Holiday and Middleton being poorly
played throughout. Holiday had Mid
dleton 4 down on the first four holes,
and at the turn had him down Holi-
day won the 10th, 11th, 10Th. halves the
18th, and won the 14th, ending the
game with 6 up. 4 to play. The con-
test between Wilfred Arnold and Maur-
ice Connolly was even more one-sided.
Cups Are Presented.
At the conclusion of the afternoons
play the cups for the winners and the
runner up in each flight were present
ed, speeches being made by Colonel S.
e. Blunt. president of the club. and by
the winners. The greatest enthusiasm
over the tournament and the hospital
ity of the club was shown by the Wis
itors, who were all highly pleased with
the course on the arsenal. They ex-
pressed their thanks for the cordial
treatment here. The cups were award
ed those participating in the final
round.
Though this is the first attempt made
by the members of the Rock Island Ar
Senal club to entertain contestants
from other clubs, it was a great sue
cess. and nothing but praise is heard

ball back to the diamond.

Of it. The field was lined with car
riages, and near the foul line stood a
blackboard to which were hitched two

ball player came tearing along after
the foul the mustangs got scared and
started to run away.
The dead armed man caught the ball.
and the runner on third base started

TO MAKE cocoANuT CREAM.
Simple Process That Yields Excellent
Substitute for Butter.

The %cocoanut is more extensively
used, perhaps. Is a food than any
other nut. In certain of the Pacific
islands 1t constitutes almost an ex-
elusive dietary. Cows, dogs. donkeys,
chickens, in fact almost every living
thing, ever certain species OF crabs,
live on the cocoanut, i~ngeniously
working a way to the meat through
the one open eye of the nut. In the
Is very largely eaten in the half-rlpe
state. AT this stage the meat Is jelly
like in consistency and may be eaten
with a spoon. II IS very toothsome
and nourishing. The meat of the ripe
nut is very hard to digest and can
scarcely be masticated sufficiently to
prepare 1t for entering the stomach.
The best use which can be made OF
the meat of the ripe %cocoanut Is In
the preparation Of the cocoanut ream
which is an excellent substitute for
butter. This may be easily accom-
plished by the following method: Re-
move the meat and put 1t through an
ordinary vegetable shredder. Pour
over the pulp twice the quantity OF
. boiling water and let stand for half
an hour, then strain through a fine
cloth, and let the milk so obtained
stand for three or four hours in a
cold place. A rich crea rises,
which may be used in the same way
as dairy cream, or like ordinary
cream, may be worked into butter.
