One of the local pin artists will roll
of the best bowlers in the country,
and then the other will roll the same
number of games. The winner will
be the man who takes the best three
out of five. Sperry has just taken up
bowling again after a long rest and
both he and Thoms are expected to
give Collier a hard race for honors.
Monday evening A. w. Salzmann and
William Huston, probably the two
best bowlers of the Commercial Bowl
| ing league, will meet Collier under
the same conditions.
TOO COLD FOR BOWLERS.
Counter attractions and cold
weather proved too much for the
bowlers of the Commercial and Semi
Pro leagues last night, and therefore
the meeting called for the Inaugural
ton Of a Rock Island Bowling asso-
citation came to naught. A few bowl
ers assembled at the Harms hotel
parlors, but because they were not a
majority, business was postponed I'm.
til the latter part of next week when
another meeting will be arranged
The organization of a Rock Island
Bowling association means much for
the future of bowling, for this organi
zation will rule with an iron hand the
decision of all protests and disputes
which may arise in either league now
and any league that may be formed
in the future.
SEND DELEGATES.
1t is up to the individual bowler
now to see that his team is repre-
sented at this first meeting. A good
plan would be for each team to name
a delegate or two to the first meeting
and authorize them to perfect the or
ganization. Each delegate might be
instructed as to who is preferred fol
Office and in that way a representa-
tive vote would be polled in each in
stance.

Its either win this match with
Collins Jan. 25 or quit the mat game

said George Nicholson, the Greek de-
mon, yesterday, in talking of the ap-
preaching match. And if / put

GOOD PROGRAM.
Promoters of the first big wres-

Island have completed arrangements
for the Nicholson-Collins match. In
addition TO that feature event, Kid

SOUNDS GOOD TO HIM.

line and most of his matches havt
been staged in Moline He is
stranger in Rock Island and that ac
counts for little conversation tina
took place in his shining parlor
few days ago. A Davenport wres
Ting fan dropped in for shine. H
said to the man who waited upol
him, when does this Nicholson
match with Collins come OFF," Jan
25," came the prompt reply. BE
lieve me, ! will be on hand for it,
he said, 'for that Greek demon i
a whirlwind and / guess he will b
my favorite. / saw him perform las
year In Moline and l will go to an
match where he is the main attraC
ton" He was unaware of the fac
that he was talking to the demon
His words rather boosted Nicholson
spirit and now he is more than eve
determined to win the match.

scribed as lone Of the worst abuses
known in history"-arranging tariff
taxes so as to enable favored manu-
facturers to collect from the public
much larger sum than $1,000, 100000
for their own benefit. According to
reliable estimates" he said, ''for ev-
cry dollar the government receives on
articles imported, the favored manu-
facturer collects So above the normal
of prices of like articles from Ameri-
can consumers. This is in effect
farming out the taxing power. 1t is
significant that the Sherman anti
trust law and the Mckinley tariff law
were under consideration at the
same time and passed at the same
session. The first step surely must
be to redeem the tariff from it's per-
verted use and restore it to its proper
place as revenue measure by grad
ual reductions so that all concerned
may have time to prepare for the
change. With the chief cause of the
trouble thus removed, | believe we
shall make our way safely back to
normal conditions"

that has been taken thus far have
been made since the announcement

''lSever have attended many games

NEW LIFE IN THE GAME.
II can be seen from expressions
such as these that there is new life
and interest IN the national
pastime in Rock Island. From one
OF the best towns in the circuit To
one Of the poorest, Rock Islands in
terest dwindled last season. The
spirit evidenced thus far Is to the eff
feet that Rock Island will again be
a leader in the league. Everybody
is satisfied thus far, and after the
franchise is secured, all that will be
necessary will be TO provide a mana,
ger who will be popular with public
and players alike, and then it's Rocl
Island for its old top notch seat il
attendance and an exalted position
in the percentage column.

Big Lead.
FINAL COUNT 40 TO 81
Younger Players Come Back Strong
in Second Part Of Contest and
Outplay Vets.

Weakened by the absence of Neus-
sill and with Captain Behnamann
handicapped by an injury received in
a recent practice game. the high
school basketball five went down in
defeat before the alumni quintet last
evening at the school gymnasium by
the score of 40 to 80. Though defeat
ed, the high school team made a
creditable showing against the grads,
and but for little lack of confidence
at the start would probably have
given the alumni good scare.
FIRST HALF A RUNAWAY.
In the first half the alumni COM
pletely swamped the high school boys
and at the close of the period lead
| "a to 6. The school team seemed
powerless before the attack of the
graduates, who threw baskets at will
and held the high school team to two
field goals and two foul throws. But
the high school was not discouraged
and with a changed lineup came back
strong, and in the second half out
played their opponents. Captain
Behnamann, who had played forward
in the first half, took center, while
Tremann was shifted to guard
Brough was taken out and Hughes
took Behnamann's forward. Hughes
played brilliantly in this period and
registered SIX field baskets, while
Behnamann got three and as many
foul throws. Chalk at guard played
a splendid game and with a little
more experience will develop into &
star guard.
For the alumni the honors were di
vided between Andy Voss and Dicl
Lift. Young also played a brillian
game and aided materially in the vic
tory. The lineup follows:
High School-Center, Tremann AM
Behnamann; forwards, Behnamann
Hinkley and Hughes; guards, Chalk
Brough and Tremann.

to the rest of the building in guam
tity merely TO prevent freezing.
The building was without heat for
the greater part of the day yester-
day on account of a break in the
heating system. This break resulted
ness resulting from old age, which
