The three cornered rifle match be-
tween the national guari companies
of Geneseo. Moline and this city,
which was held yesterday afternoon
at the new range of The local COM
pany near the Watch Tower, resulted
in a well earned victory for the team
| from Company A. Rock Island has
met the team from Company of Mo-
| line several times already this year
! and expected to experience no trouble
| in outpOinting them, but Geneseo has
| had team of no mean ability in the
| field for many years. Constant prac-
| tice on their own range has made
| many marksmen in the company and
| the local team feared defeat at their
| hands. However. the practice which
the Rock Island boys have had since
the completion of the range near the
Tower has proved OF considerable
value and the team defeated Geneseo
| by a good sized score The firing
was done from the two and three hun
dred yard ranges. both slow and rapid
firing being held from the 200 yard
| line. Company A had the high score
on every range except the rapid fire
on the 200 yard line which Company
B of Geneseo took by one point. The

cagoan in the Ring.

There was a 10-rounI mill at the
Bullfrog camp east of Davenport yes
net of this city covered himself with
glory, holding Kid White of Chicago
to draw. 1t is strongly suspected
that White is a ringer. Certainly he
has had the more ring experience. He
also had the advantage in weight and
height, weighing 11G pounds, while
the Rock Island lad entered the ring
eight pounds lighter White thought
he mad a snap and he mad something
of an advantage in the early rounds,
but near-the close Sinnet put on speed
and gave him sound lacing.

Clinton and the Islanders divided
the double header yesterday. although
on hitting and all around playing the
champs should have annexed both of
the exhibitions. The games Were
played before one Of the best crowds
plenty of enthusiasm, 20, as a large
number of Clinton fans and Daven-
port people were present to root for
the visitors. The first game resulted
in a defeat for the Islanders, although
they outhit the Clintonitec and should
have won handily.
The second game was easily the bet
ter of the two. 1t was shortened to
seven innings by agreement before it
was started and at the end of that
time the champs had the only score

rolled some more while Cook com.
pleted the circuit and Joe went to
third. The rest of the six times the
champs were at bat they could nc
do anything TO Jaeger who was twirl
ing good ball for Clinton and no more
runs resulted. In the meantime La
kaff was on his toes all the time and
Clinton rarely had a look in. They
poled three hits off his delivery in as
many innings but during the whole
game never reached third. Frank was
at his best.
Double Play the Feature.
The feature of the game was a dou
BILE play executed by Cook and Stark
Nye had just drawn one of the three
singles and was waiting on first foi
Roman to hit. Roman did hit the bal
and knocked it TO Cook who speared
it and by quick jump managed to
touch Nye as he passed on his way
to second and then threw Roman ou
at first. 1t was fine play and drew
a round of applause.
Eng was back in the game after {
day off as a result of being knocked
out Saturday and his backstop worl
was always in evidence. He caugh

In II furious rounds yesterday at
the Vernon arena he conclusively prov

Bills hand aloft in token of victory,
Ketchers seconds were bearing him, a
shattered and bleeding mass, to his
corner.
Although the result will go down on
the records as a knockout, and al
though Ketchel was entirely helpless
at the end, .Jeffries did not pronounce
the Hateful ten above him. The former
heavyweight champion stopped tOlling
off seconds at the count of nine, after
Papke had knocked Ketchel down
twice in the 18th, and ordered Ketchel

for the fact that conditions were en-

between the men. In the fight at Mil
waukee Ketchel knocked Papke down
with the first punch and had the lead
throughout. In the fight yesterday
Papke knocked Ketchel down three
times in rapid succession and had him
groggy at the end of the very first
period From that time the bout was
Papke's.
For round after round he pursued
his opponent about the ring, often
sending him Keeling along the ropes
under merciless fiogging of his gloves
and fairly wearing himself down by
his own efforts. In the fourth and fifth
Papke was SO exhausted that Ketchel
was able to come back strongly, both
