PAPKE AND RHODES
SETTLE OLD SCORE
Gently Will Be Argued Tuesday
at Davenport.

One of the best and most exciting
fistic events ever billed in this vicinity
is due TO be pulled off next Tuesday
night at Claus Groth han in Davenport
upon which occasion the Davenport
Athletic club will stage Billy Papke of
Spring Valley, H., the whirlwind Won
der who has been moving down every
body before him. and Billy Rhodes, the
clever Kansas City welterweight.
These two fighters will indulge in a
15-round bout to a decision, under
straight Marquis of Queensbury rules,
and the fight promises to be one of the
liveliest milling matches ever seen in
this neck of the woods.
In a recent 10-round bout at Peoria,
Papke gained the decision over Rhodes,
but it is claimed Papke landed a ter
rife chance blow in the first round
which dazed Rhodes. but that the lat
] ter was up and a-gOing his best when
| the gong terminated the last round.
Rhodes now is very confident he can
defeat Papke in Is rounds, and al
though Papke has never as yet fought
over 10 rounds in a single engagement
he is equally confident that he will be
turned out winner in the Forthcoming
| 15-round bout.
A number of other good bouts are
announced, and Malachy Hogan viii
referee. The crowd in attendance viii
undoubtedly be as great as that which
Witnessed the recent Galligan-McFar
land fight under the auspices Of the
same club.

Kansas City, Sept. 2s.--An injunc
ton was granted in the district cour
Of Wysndotte county, Kansas. Friday
forbidding the members Of the Kan
sas City live stock exchange to obey
rules of the organization which re
Quire them to boycott non4members
The proceeding was brought by Fred
s. Jackson. attorney general Of Kan
sas, and will be pushed under the
antitrust laws Of that state.
Under the rules Of the exchange q
member must not recognize q yard
trader who is not member Of the
exchange. No member Of the ex.
change may pay monev as fee TO
an order buyer not member Of the
exchange.
The exchange has a penalty Of fine,
suspension and ultimately expulsion
from the exchange which 1t imposes
on members. who fail to obey the
rules. Es1
The restraining order issued Friday
is temporary order, but the attor-
ney general will ask for permanent
Injunction. There are thirty-eight
corporations and 476 individuals
named as defendants in the proceed
ing. The temporary order forbids the
enforcement of all the non-intercourse
rules of the exchange. The Traders
exchange members are also included
in the restraining order. 1t seems
that the Traders exchange have their
rules printed, but since the former
proceeding against the live stock ex-
change that organization has not pub
lished non-intercourse rules, although
the attorney general says the rules
are still enforced.
Fred 8. Jackson, attorney general,
who presented his petition to the
court, said: This action ia not begun

business, but to correct some alleged
wrongs of which there have been
