RUDE WADDELL TIRES OUT
TY COBB.

RUDE WaddelI gleefully tells
how he made Ty Cobb quit
during the Georgian's recent
visit to Reelfoot Lake. KY.
Waddell invited Cobb to go out
duck hunting one fair, sunshiny
day, and Cobb fell into the trap.
They loaded Ty down with
several pounds of ammunition,
shotgun. several decoys and a
bundle of provisions. Then they
started for the shooting grounds,
several miles from the farm.
Waddell is a tireless walker,
thinking nothing OF tramping fif-
teen miles after wild turkey.
He hits up hot pace. too. all the
way. On they went. almost at
a trot. Cobb is some athlete.
but before long his shoes began
to get heavy. He was carrying
a heavy load and was unaccus-
toned to that form of exercise.
Still Waddell kept OIL, and Cobb
; was too proud to make any COM
plant
They finally got to their de-
. sired loca ton. Cobb threw shot
gun, ammunition. provisions and
. decoys on the ground and sat
: down abruptly. He wiped his
. brow, then exclaimed:

CORROBORATION
OF Interest to Argus Readers.

have seen in these columns enthust

Rock Island residents. Would these

Would they confirm their statements

perience had not shown the remedy
to be worthy OF endorsement? The
following statement should carry con-

Vaudeville's greatest singing come

Eva Tanguay, will be at the Empire
next week to fill her first tri-city en-
gagement Emma Carus, who has long
been Broadway's fayorite, comes to
Rock Island direct from Milwaukee,
where she is appearing in one of the
circuit houses and where the papers
say she is scoring the greatest per-
sonal success in years. To hear Miss
Carus sing the popular songs of the
day is indeed a treat and Manager
Dolly is paying her the largest salary
ever given a performer in the three
cities She is said to be drawing

vile than c. Sharp, the Chicago Amer

she enlivened the Christmas week and
dew packed houses where slim audi

trade. Says Sharp: Miss Carus' pop
u:arity reaches into the most obscure
F localities of every city in the United

hCnors. AS the east is demanding Miss
! Carus, this will probably be her final
{ engagement for some time" It was

nent was backed up by the audiences
which filed the houses nightly at
which Miss Carus appeared. In addt

BAT EVANGELIST;
WON BY SUNDAY
Expects to Quit Ring Soon and
Follow Path of Former
Baseball Player.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 4.-Oscar |
Mathew Battling Nelson. ex-champion
lightweight, but still the undisputed
title holder of the typewriter division
o. the publicity league when it comes
to dashing out masterpieces concern
ing B. Nelson, is going to turn evan
selist.
The battler reached this decision
last Sunday after hearing the ReveT-
enc Billy Sunday turn Columbus up
side down and back again and in the
vernacular, knock 'em off their seats"
The Hegewisch fistic exponent was
dazed. He admitted that Sunday GER
tainly made a fellow regret every
mean thing he ever did, adding that
it made one long lingering impression
on him and henceforth he intended
sticking to the straight and narrow.
Nelson was so impressed that at the
conclusion of the ceremonies he made
his way to the stage and introduced
himself to Sunday, telling him that
he was the sQuarest referee he had
ever seen or heard. Sunday and the
battler, after speaking in glowing
terms of each other, exchanged auto
graph photos and Nelson was induced
to return for the evening services. The
eX-champ not only returned. but occu-
pied a seat on the platform and was
prevailed upon to accept song book
and take part in singing.
Honest be, it affected my nerves
more than waiting for the gong pre-
vious to my fight with Wolgast This
man Sunday certainly knows what's
right and wrong. He made me feel
like the meanest man in the world,
but never again. Sunday himself told
me that l am not half as bad as he
was when he was slamming the pill
al cund the major league baseball cir
cults" This was the gist of the Bat
tiers statements to a fight promoter
before leaving Columbus.
But Sunday was not the only day
Bat attended the services. He became
a regular visitor during the remainder
OF his stay in Columbus and before
/ leaving presented the former big
league baseball player with copies OF
his famous contributions to American
literature, namely, The Life, Battles
and Career of Battling Nelson" and
THE Wonders of Yellowstone Park.
In exchange Sunday gave Bat several
books on how to become an evange
list and exacted a promise that Mel
son would join him at his earliest con
venience.
1t is the intention of Nelson to joiI
Sunday in his tour of the east and he
expects to tell those to attend the re
vivals of his experiences in and on
of the ring during his career as {
fighter
Besides his experiences with Sun
day, Nelson also Gained the member!
OF the local pulpit, who were up il
arms over the scheduled fight between
the Battler and Yankee SwartZ. The.

ana Nelson, on hearing this, wrote ;
letter to the ministers explaining tht
difference between a boxing match ant
a prize fight. His explanation was 81
lucid that the ministers Withdrew
their protest and the bout was allow
ed t. go unmolested.
Just before leaving Nelson talke
, with Sunday over the telephone an
, promised to join the evangelist at
, later date. Nelson left here for NeV
