DUGDALE Is IN CITY
TO TALK WITH TIGHE
Owner of Seattle Baseball Team Here
for a Conference With His
New Manager.

d. +. Dugdale, owner of the Seattle
team in the Northwestern league, ar
rived in Rock Island today to confer
with his newly engaged manager, Jack
Tighe, and to settle upon the date
upon which the latter will take per-
sOnal direction of the Seattle players.
Mr.. Dugdale win be recalled by the
fans as a former player with the Pc
Oria team. He has been in the north
west several years, first going there
as a manager. and working up to the
position of owner of one of the best
teams in his league. Dugdale has
prospered. and the past few seasons
are said to have put him on easy
street. Dugdale in investigating the
qualities OF Tighe, demanded two es-
sentiaIs in the man that he would en-
ploy to manage his team: Powers of
development of players and control of
the men on and off the field. Dugdale
was told that Tighe possessed these
qualifications, but that he was afighter
on the field, and might draw a few
fines during a season. Dugdale said
he did not worry about the fines. What
he wanted was a winning manager, so
long as he could land games in sports
fashion. He has the right
man in Jack Tighe.

CHANGE IN LINEUP.
Rock Island High School Team
Will Make Desperate Effort
to Close Season Right.
JAY MAC MANUs IN GAME
Will Play Brothers Place at Half and
Ernest Will Go to Quarter in
Turkey Day Contest.

| The Rock Island high school foot
| ball team is gradually rounding into
shape for its final encounter of the
year. the Thanksgiving day game
with st. Ambrose college of Daven-
port. The prospects are that the
I game will be an excellent exhibition
of football. With nothing at stake
outside of the pleasure of being win
ners, the high school boys expect to
put up an article of football that will
be interesting in the extreme. Trick
plays, forward passes and new for
nation plays will be used almost ex
clusively and by this means Coach
Harmon hopes to have his protegees
defeat the team from across the river.
There will be several changes noticed
| in the lineup of the team when it
enters the field for it's final game.
Ernest MacManus, according to pres
ent plans, will be back in his old
place at quarterback. Jay MacManus
will play left half back, and Larkin
will be at end instead of Dooley,
whose injury received in the Moline
game will not permit him to play.
Jay MacManus, who was compelled to
quit playing football before the reg
ular season opened, has donned the
moleskins to take part in the final
game and as he is an experienced
player he will probably add some lit
tie strength to the team.
send out Bear stories.
Plenty of bear stories" are orig
mating from the camp of the cOlleg-
ians across the river. 1t is said that
both half backs, Brown and Portel,
will probably be out of the game,
Brown by reason of an injury which
has kept him out of the last three
games and Portel because of rheu-
matism with which he is suffering.
Peters at center is also said to be in
the hospital and Jack Hynes has
bad ankle. 1t is more than likely,
however. that on the day of the
game the ST. Ambrose cripples Will
be the friskiest ones on the team.
The aggregation has had a wonder
fully successful year and it hopes to
end up with another victory. If 1t
should so happen that Moline defeats
Davenport and the college defeats
Rock Island by a score of more than
: to 0. it is understood that st. Am
brose will set up the claim of being
in the running for the trl-clty inter-
scholastic championship. 1t suffered
a Q to O defeat at the hands of Dav-
enport in its first game of the season
and the supporters of the school be-
Iieve that if another game were play
ed it would show St. Ambrose the
better of the two aggregatiens.
Rube Band Coming.
The co1Iegians are making prep
arations to bring their "rube band
over to enliven the turkey day con-
test which takes place AT Exposition
park in the afternoon. The band did
good service in two of the college
games played in Davenport and it /
supplied a large share of the fun on
both occasions. The probability is
that the Iowans will come over about
200 strong to support their favorites
and a fine game is looked for.

WHO'STOMANACE?
Jack Tighe's Advance to High
er Company Starts Gossip
Among the Fans.
OPINIONS ARE DIFFERENT
Some Want Man from Another Place
and Others Think One of Pres
ent Islanders Would Do.

The retirement Of Jack Tighe from
the management of the Rock Island
baseball team has started the fans TO
wondering who will be the next boss
OF the squad and. as usual, everyone
has something 10 suggest. There is
considerable sentiment in favor OF
Dan O'Leary, the veteran catcher who
has proved valuable TO Rock Island
for many years. He has been with
the Islanders off and on since 1902
and is practically Rock Island pro-
duct, although his home is at Orion.
He didn't play his first ball here, but
he did get his start in Rock Island.
Dan has had some experience at man
aging, having had charge of the Mem
phis club in the Southern league for
a time during the illness of Manager
.Babb. Dan is useful in developing
young pitchers, though it is a question
whether he can do the same thing for
the other positions on the team.
Two Theories Advanced.
Some fans believe in a theory which
says that a player who becomes man
ager of his team usually fails to make
good. The supporters of this theory
want to see the Rock Island club i'm
port playing manager. They point
to the dismal failure made by Catcher
Billy Sullivan of the White Sox when
he attempted to fill the shoes of Field
er Jones. On the other hand. how
ever, there are plenty of successful
managers who came up from the ranks
in their own teams. Fielder Jones,
for instance, became manager of the
White SoX upon the retirement or
Manager Callahan and Jones stepped
in the managerial berth direct from
n position on the team. Frank Chance
of the Cubs is another of which this
same thing is true. He rose from the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-11-22

Cub ranks to the successive positions
tainly made good.
VIII BE I'm at Finish.
Regardless of whether the new man
ager is an old Islander or not, it will
probably be true that Rock Island will
come right up to the scratch and will
have a winning team, as has nearly
always been true in the past. Tighe
was a splendid manager and his SUI
perior or even his equal would be hard
to find, but nevertheless a baseball
town like Rock Island can and will de-
liver the goods in the shape of real
team.
