Basketball Team From Across
River Coming to This Side
After Seven Years.

Friday night Of this week the Dav-
export basketball five will come to
Rock Island and play a return game
with the local team. In the first part
of January the DavenpOrters took an
easy game from the Islanders by a
high score. but since that time the
locals have been improving rapidly
and have won a number Of contests
which gives them cause for hope. A
curtain raiser will be played, but II
is not as yet decided whether two
picked girl teams will play or whether
tie second team will play a return
game with the Davenport seconds. The
girl teams have already been chosen
but the Davenport scrubs feel that
they are deserving of a game, seeing
that the local scrubs had a trip across
the river with the first team. The
game Friday is the first that a Daven-
pcr' high school team has played in
this city for the past seven years and
the breech OF good feeling IS entirely
healed and there are hopes in the
breasts of the Islander enthusiasts
that a football game will also be play

FORMER IS THE VICTOR
After Long and Exciting TuSsIe, He
Throws Opponent from 6urIIns-
ton-Brown to Come.

wrestling FANS, who failed 20 attend
the show at the Illinois theatre ,asr
night, passed up one of the best goes
that has been staged in Rock Island
since wrestling was inaugurated by
the Illinois Athletic club. When the
announcement came from Burlington
at the last minute that harry Hart
mann would be unable to appear IN
his scheduled bout with Harry Rron-
dell, it was supposed that the substi-
tuition of George ROumus, the Greek
grappler. was merely a mskeshift to
prevent the show from falling through
Roumus, while not entirely unknown,
has not had the opportunity TO show
his worth and therefore was not much
of an attraction. However, the match
between he and Brondeu was a corker
and the 100 followers of the sport, who
were present, had every reason to be
satisfied with what they got for their
money.
BRONDELL THE WINNER.
The Davenport favorite, Brondell,
won two straight falls from his Greek
opponent. The first one came after
one hour and Il minutes of fast and
clever work on the part Of both wrest-
lers Brondell evidenced that he was
the stronger of the two and was on
the aggressive most of the time, but
in Roumus he met a great defensive
wrestler who seemed to have been
well coached on BrondelTs style The
Davenporter tried his favorite hold
scissors on the arms-time and again
but aways his opponent wriggled out
without being thrown. Finally, Bron,
dell secured a scissors on head and
| body hold that proved too much for
the Greek and the latter's shoulders
were pinned to the mat The strain
proved too much for the Greek and in
/ the second fall he was an easy vic
| tim. going to the mat in two minutes
under the persuasive Influence of g
scissors on body.
GOOD PRELIMINARIES
Two good preliminaries to the mair
/ bout were staged. In the semi-winduI
/ Ionic Page and Sunny" Malone o.
/ Davenport met and the former proved
! his superiority in two straight falls
/ taking the first in Il minutes anC
| the second in five. The winner out
classed the loser, though Malone show
ed both speed and science.
! Art Paully of Rock Island defeated
| Roy Stark of Moline in the first pre-
liminary. The first fall required eigh
minutes and the second but three ant
a half The lads made up in willing
ness and aggressiveress what the,
/ lacked in science of the game.
BROWN TO COME AGAIN.
Brondells victory means that h
will get a return match with Car
Brown. Waterloo's seemingly uncon
querable welterweight. The latter ha
thrown Brondell in this city. but undo
circumstances that excused the Daven
porter and his friends are confiden
that if he is right when he meet
Brown, the latter will lose his laurels
