NOTES OF THE GAME

Eddie Kohl batted in two of the
runs yesterday and Harry Kelley the
other three.
Six of the Dayenporters famed out
| yesterday, while not single Islander
succumbed to Mr.. Holycross (P. H.
Incidentally yesterdays game made
the 18th straight victory for the Isl,
nearly time to lose one.
Eddie Kohl made the real hit of the
day when he drove the ball back TO
The Argus score board in the third
inning with two men on the bases.
Two men had perfect records at bat
yesterday. Manusch for Rock Island,
made three hits and secured one pass
out of four trials, and Nadeau of Dav-
export made three hits and was hit in
the head on his fourth attempt
Manusch pegged to the plate in beau
tiful fashion in the second inning
when Nadeau tried to score from sec
ond on Cooley's hit into right field.
The throw came in on a line and right
to the spot so that Stark had the ball
waiting for the runner as he slid home.
When Bob Couchman went into the
game he brought the visitors up with
a round turn just like a horse pulled
back on its launches. Holycross, Oh
land and Nye went down before him
while two men rested on the circuit
praying for a chance to score.
Kohl pulled off a pretty double play
!
down and a man on first when Foutz
grounded to short. Eddie made bril-
liant stop, dashed to second, touched
the bag, and hurled the sphere to first
in plenty time to complete the double.
The side was out before it realized
that such thing might happen.
Stark pulled off one of the feature
plays of the day in the seventh inning.
Claude received a base on balls and
Manusch stole third on the same play.
Cooley was blamed by Holycross for
the stealing While the two we're
chewing the rag Stark danced around
between first and second and finally
set out for the center station. Cooley
woke up in time to throw towards sec
ond, but Claude arrived there safely,
and was able to score later when
Kelly banged one through the inf1eId.
In the sixth inning Callahan got off
first and it took the entire Davenport
team to run him down. He was finally
nabbed at second base, though the play
was so close that If it hadn't been
Bannon who was umpiring there might
have been reason to kick. Smarty
Hickman undertook to run Callahan
down alone and the result was comical.
The sawed-off little Hickman's legs
fairly twinkled as he ran, while Gala
han moved along ahead of him at what
appeared to be an easy canter. The
visiting player had to give up in dis
gust and let someone else do the work.

port in the first half of the fifth, the
Islanders came right back and took
the lead again before any one from
across the river had a chance to get
his spirits up. Manusch led with hit
and Slattery followed with another
which sent the speedy George to third,
from which station he scored when
Kelly drove a long fly to center gar
den.
In order to make sure two more
runs were added in the seventh round
Manusch was the starter once more
and he did it in the same way; that is,
with hit. He then proceeded to steal
both second and third, and when Stark
received free transportation, he also
pilfered the second sack, making a
man on third and another on second.
Kelly delivered the package this time,
it being in the shape of a grounder
over second on which both runners
scored. That made the five Islander
counts and Davenport was humbled.
The score:

Drivers at indianapolis Track.
Indianapolis, July 2.-Having added

JoHNsoN,s GOOD RECORD.

While there is nothing spectacular in
the career of Jack johnson. the big
negro is entitled TO be clasSed with the
greatest fighters the ring ever pro-
duced. OF his seventy battles fought
in the squared arena johnson has lost
only three, one by a knockout, another
on a foul and the third on a decision
so rank as to be criticised even by
JohnSon'S worst enemies.
On account Of his refusal to cut loose
he many times has been accused Of
possessing q yellow streak. However,
he is not deserving Of this criticism,
for he has yet TO show a tinge Of cow
ardice Pugilism at the best has many
crooks and turns. 1t is more of q busi-
ness than a sport, and Johnson at
times owed his ring existence to agree
ing to allow a man to stay the limit
and making other binding contracts.
While johnson frequently by force Of
circumstances was restrained from
showing his best, many other times by
his sheer good nature he refused to
punish unnecessarily an opponent, be-
ing content to go along and win on
points
overgrown, good natured boy. Any
one who eyer came in contact with
Johnson will testify TO his ever pres
ent good nature. why should 1 beat
him up? He's a good fellow" is the
way Johnson explained one of his sus-
picious looking battles. More than one
of Johnson's opponents have escaped
a terrible pummeling simply because
of Johnson's aversion to Furnishing a
man whom he had beaten on points.
Johnson's fighting record gives no
real idea of his ability. Many believe
his statement that he never cut loose
and fought his hardest. Again, as In
the case of Peter Jackson, white pugil-
lists in many cases have drawn the
color line on him. Whether it was be-
cause they feared his ability or wheth-
er they really objected to boxing with
a negro may be surmised.
Johnson is the first man of his
color to get the chance to fight for the
heavyweight championship since the
Queensberry rules were framed.
Johnson is a magnificently built ath-
lete. He is as strong as a bull, cat
like and quick. clever and scientific
and carries a damaging punch in ei
Their hand.

The mighty Holycross and his fell
low Pretzels went down in defeat yes
terday before Jack Tighe's Islanders,
the final count being to 2, and show
ing just about the relative merits of
the two teams.
It was Rock Islands game from the
start, as the Islanders showed in the
opening inning that Holycross had
nothing on them yesterday. The first
run did not come until the third and
then there were two of them together.
After that, although the score was tied
for half an inning, the Islanders plainly
indicated that they were out to cop
the peanuts and there was nothing to
1t but victory. The Pretzels managed
to pole nine hits altogether, seven of
them coming in the first five innings
while Cavet was on the firing line
In the last four, however, Couchman,
who took Cavet's place, held the visit
ors safe and rendered it easy pickings.
Shaffer kept Holycross on the job de-
spite the frequency with which the
islanders hit his offerings. but the
chances are that none of the other
Prodigal twirlers would have Jared

Islanders Bunch Hits.
The secret of the Islanders victory
was their ability to hit the ball often
and OPPORTUNITY. Kohl and Vogel hit
in succession in the second inning and
showed their teammates that Holy
cross was not dangerous. 1t was the
same old story Of what happened to
Blondy Parkins. He was a terror for
a minute and then all Of a sudden the
Islanders cast him off into oblivion by
knocking him all over the lot. The
difference between the fates Of Holy
cross and Parkins was that the latter
was yanked out of the box when he
failed to prove effective, while poor
old Holycross was forced to remain on
the job. In the third inning the fun
started. Manusch singled over second
and SIattery laid one down on the
first base line that was such a beauty
of a bunt that he easily beat IT to
first. Stark followed suit with a bunt
and both runners advanced while
Claude got the hooks at first. Chances
looked poor when Kelly fouled out,
but Eddie Kohl delivered the goods in
the shape of a two-sacker to The Argus
sign which drove two men over the
plate.
Davenp rt Ties the Count.
In the fifth Pug Cavet went wrong
and the visitors began to find him for
safe hits. Nadeau and Hickman sin
gled and Cooley filled the sacks by
taking a poke in the Stats. Then
MUTT Waters drove out a two-sacker
to right field and two Davenporters
crossed the pan with enough scores
to tie the Islanders. At this point Bob
Couchman relieved Cavet and it was
all over but the shouting as far as
Davenport getting any more runs
Bob retired the next three men and
held the two runners on the circuit
Only two more hits were made by the
Shafferites and they counted for moth
ing. Slattery's error on a throw to
second in the last round put a man on
third and another on second with only
one down, but Bob frightened up and
the next two men, one of them the
mighty Holycross, popped up measly
little flies and the side was retired.
Four Hits Net Three.

BIG FIGHTERS WHO MEET MONDAY
JEFFRIEs, WONDERFUL FEAT.

SportSmen throughout the civilized
world eagerly waited for over a year
to ascertain whether James j. Jeffries,
the retired heavyweight champion of
the world, could come back to the ring
and be the same great man. On March
z, 1909, Jeffries stripped in a New
York gymnasium and began his long
battle against nature. He was a big,
fat, fabby fellow, who pulled and
bowed after three short rounds with
Sam Berger.
On April 3, 1909, after Jeffries had
experimental with his condition he
submitted himself to that great stu
der, of physical culture, DIR. Sargent
of Inward university. After the ex-
ann alton Jeffries explained the visit
as follows: II am going to follow out
DR.. Sargent's advice. 1 visited the
doctor at Harvard. He measured and
examined me. 1 weighed only seven
pounds more than did when he saw
me in 1903" Jeffries did not tell his
weight, but it was reported to be
about PSI pounds.
Since that date Jeffries has shown
remarkable will power For more than
a year he worked Systematically re-
ducing his weight by light exercise.
For three months he has been in vigor-
GUS training. All the sacrifices that he
made. the days and weeks of self de-
NAL, were prompted by one ambition
to win the worlds title back for the
white race.
Jefrries has thoroughly studied him
self. When dug out of retirement by
overzealous friends he would not place
himself on record to fight johnson until
he had first tested his ability. He was
eager to ascertain whether the spark
OF latent ability which be possessed
could again be famed into a fame.
Rope skipping, shadow boxing and
light exercises. with an occasional
three round bout thrown in, evidently
convinced the big boiiermaker that he
could again get in shape good enough
to beat Johnson. He experimental
with himself from March until August,
1909. the public paying him $1,000 per
week as Incidental training expenses.
Then he came out publicly and an
nounced that he was ready to sign ar
ticles of agreement to meet johnson.
Jeffries' great training feat will go
down in history as the most herculean
task ever attempted by a pugilist.
