AS the result of a misunderstanding
it was stated in the Messenger this
morning that Pepito Arriola, the boy
pianist, would play number or Sc

vice at the First Presbyterian church
Growing out OF a Misrepresentation
the mistake was a natural one, but
was, nevertheless, unfortunate so far
as the Pepito Arriola's concert here
is concerned While the playing o.
this famous pianist at any Of the
church services here would be a great
musical treat and would attract gem

that his only appearance in Canon

Gotch-Hackenschmidt Match

Chicago. Aug. 12.-Frank Gotch
and George Hackenschmidt will
wrestIe in this city on the afternoon
of Sept. for the worlds champion
ship at catch-as-catch-can style. But
SO far no rules have been named for
the contest, and one of the effects of
the great contest Will be TO give 10
the world a new set Of rules that will
smbody all the numerous points that
should be covered.
This new set of rules is now being
compiled and viii be submitted TO
the contestants as soon as Hacken-
schmidt arrives in this country and
has had a chance to compose his
mind after his long journey. When
the stamp of his approval is put on
alongside Of that of Gotch the rules
will be complete and then will be
given out for publication.
1t is expected they Will. in the fu-
ture, be the rules that viii govern
all contests of whatever importance.
When Gotch and HaCkeuschmidt
We're being signed for this contest by
the officials OF the Empire Athletic
club. one Of the questions which
came up naturally was over the
rules. Gotch mentioned one set and
Hackenschmidt mentioned another.
Copies of each were Obtained and it
was discovered that neither set was
worth the paper it was printed upon.
Other sets of rules were consulted
and gone into and the discovery made
that none Of them was worth any
thing. especially in a contest Of this
importance.
Each and every one of the rules.
after mentioning a few minor and
unimportant points, hurried along
and left almost everything else to
the Judgment and discretion of the
referee.
Gotch. as champion Of the world d.
expressed the greatest surprise that
Rock Island Argus., 1911-08-12

such a condition should obtain in a
sport that has been common and at
times extremely popular for centUr-
les. The suggestion then was made
that a new code be compiled and sub
mitted to the contestants, which, if
satisfactory to each, with such
changes as might be suggested by the
experience of both of the famous
wrestlers, would govern the coming
contest for the worlds title. Both
men consented TO this at once and
the work of compiling the code is
now all but completed.
Especially unsatisfactory and un-
certain are all of the rules on the
question of foul holds. The strangle
IS mentioned in several of the sets
but is not even defined at all, the
reader of the rules being expected
TO know what a strangle lock is. One
Sc describes il as a choke hold with
the forearm pressed across an oppO-
nent's throat when as a matter of
fact an even more deadly strangle
lock may. and frequently is obtained
with what is known as scissors on
the head" which is a leg hold
around an opponents head and
neck.
In the new set of rules that will
obtain in the coming match all of
the limitations of rough work, etc,
Will DE defined so that the spectators
may know at once just how far the
contestants will be permitted to go
with such tactics.
Il -h ,, ;rS - l.
talk about the rules that the articles
of agreement between Gotch and
Hackenschmidt are open or about TO
be reopened in any way. The men
will wrestle whether new rules are
agreed upon or not. But il was
thought best 10 safeguard the match
in every way And this was one of
the ways suggested.
Hackenschmidt sailed from South
ampton, England, on the White Star
liner Olympic on Wednesday, Aug. 9.

IF JUDGED BY JULY
Rock Island Would Have Made
Fine Showing in Three-Eye
League Race so Far.
BARELY BELOW DANVILLE
First Six Weeks of Season Were Dis
astrous as Regards Standing
Of the Islanders.

Though Rock Island is still tied for
bottom of the column. it was second
in the percentage for the month of
July, being but game and a half
behind Danville for games played
during the hot month. A compila-
ton of figures for the games in July
shows that Rock Island won one
game from Danville, none from
Waterloo; three from Dubuque; five
from Peoria; six from Quincy, one
from Decatur, and two from Daven-
port.
1t was the first six weeks in the
race that killed Rock Islands chance
for a contending position in the per-
centage column. Going at the same
rate till the end of the season, the
team will get away from the cellar
position. The record for the month
of July shows that there was but a
difference of a game and a half be-
tween six of the teams. The stand
ing for the month was as follows:
Rock Island Argus., 1911-08-12
GAME NOT CREDITED.

The official standing of the
Three-Eye appears elsewhere on this
page and apparently President Tear
ney has not given Rock Island credit
for the victory at Dubuque on the
occasion when Umpire Guthrie an
nounced to the frenzied fans that the
game was forfeited to Dubuque,
though he reported the reverse to
the league executive. However,
Rock Island is still even with Daven-
port. whereas credit for the victory
would take the locals away from the
bottom.

Baseball Boiled Down

Two games will be played tomorrow
afternoon at Island City park, the first
to be called at 2 o'clock.
It is reported that the attendance
thus far in Rock Island is 10000.
There are still % games to be played.
Have you heard the latest siren
song Of Richard Kinsella? The Deca-
tur papers state that if he can not sell

Waterloo's paid admissions thus far
this season have passed the 26.000
mark. Some one who is handy with
figures predicts that the number will
reach $4,000 at least, some 5000 less
than that Of last year.
The Quincy Herald has observed
that this Is not a "Three-I" fight, but
rather a '"Three-D" race, with Danville,
Decatur and Dubuque as the princi-
pals. Yesterday Quincy won and forg-
ed ahead of Peoria. But a few points
difference between DanviIle and Peo-
ria, so It looks like "P. d. O." race.
Rock Island is scheduled to meet the
SpringfeId-D bloomington team
Monday, but whether it will still be a
Springfield Decatur Bloomington team
or a Springheld-DecaturB Bloomington
Decatur team, is a question. The local
management has not yet been notified in
regard TO the matter, and if no word
is received will go TO Decatur tomor-
row night.

Boxing Notes

Medford, Ore-Battling Nelson, the
real comeback, has been offered a 20
round bout with Jimmy Britt at jim
my Coffroths San Francisco club. Bat
says he is willing to take on Britt for
20 or 40 rounds, but wants to hear
more about the fight before he signs.
For Bat is very particular about his
reputation. 'If Frisco sports think
they can use me as a sandwich man
to fill in, they are badly mistaken.
They can't get me to fight In Frisco
unless 1 am the main squeeze. Bat
Nelson is not a dead one yet" Bat
will go to Frisco to see Coffroth and
will probably announce his decision
as soon as he gets the dope on the
proposed battle.
New York.-Matt Wells, the Eng
lish lightweight champion, is matched
to meet Knockout Brown in a 10-round
encounter in this city on Aug. 80. No
place was selected for the staging Of
the affair, and bids will be open to all
clubs in the locality. The Englishman
will weigh in at 1873 pounds at
O'Clock, the lightest weight he has
made in several years.
