FOR TRACK MEET
Big Eight Annual Event at
Galesburg Saturday May
Establish Records.
ARE STRONG
Chalk, Hippier, Glass and kiPp Ex-
pected to Win Honors-DaVen-
port Has Strong Team.

GaIesburg. Ill, May Among the
entries that have been received from
the different schools for the track
and field events ~ the Big Eight
track meet that will be held here on
next Saturday are found several
names that are familiar to the follow
ers of the sport. Davenport has sent
in the greatest number of contestants,
their list having % names. The aver
age for all of the schools will be about
6fteen. as there are 1872 entries re-
ceived.
Among the old names that are to
he found are those of Chalk, last
wears winner of the half-mile who is
also a strong favorite for the mile.
Washburn of Kewanee. is also an old
man who is expected to show class in
the half mile. From the local team
there are Hamblin, Hoover and Apple
gren. all three of them being letter
men. WyIie is expected TO win the pole
vau1t and probably set new record,
as he has gone over the present one
several times this year. He is also IN
the 44O dash.
Some of the Claims.
Rock Island claims that they have
some of the rarest stars that nave
ever been seen at one of the confer
ence meets. but they will have TO show
some of this phenomenal strength be-
fore any stock is taken in their line.
II is generally expected that the big
fight will be as in former years, De-
tween Galesburg and Davenport DaV-
enport has a record of having more
dark horses" than any other schooi
in the meet, and from all reports that
have been obtained hey have strong
team and are gOin- to prove 10 De
strong contenders for the honors-
Galesburg on the other hand has not
s,ich a record to their credit but nave
won three out of five of the banners
through good team work, her men are
81 placed so as TO make the most out
of every single man and this is what
thew are banking on to uphold the
credit of the. school. The team has
been working hard for several weeks
and are going to do the lest in their
power to take it away once more
M the other schools, Moline seems
IN he the favorite for runner up for
third place. but they Will nave 10
fight II out with Princeton ana Ne
vance, each of these schools nave
strong men, and are made up TO
large extent OF men who have wore
Big Eight" numbers before this year
Little has been found out about Gen
eseo. They are new in the circuit this
wear and have not very many men en-
tered. but they may prove DARK
horse and throw the meet to one OF
the schools who are not reckoned as
having much of chance.

REDMOND QUITS

Earl Henderson Has Easy Time
With st. Paul Scrapper
at Olympic Club.
YOUNG HENDERSON WINS
Forces Kid Dewey Of Des Moines to
Quit in Fourth-Bobby Byiund

YOUNG HENDERSON WINS

lack Redmond of st. Paul, the real
original Jack of pugilistic fame, went
I'D against a stone wall when he tack
led Earl Henderson of this city at the
Moline Olympic club quarters last
night. and quit the ring in the fifth
round of the scheduled 10 round bout,
ingloriously defeated. Redmond quit
to save himself from further punish
ment and a possible knockout, for the
Island city youth had things all his
own way after the third session.
The battle opened on even terms,
Henderson getting a shade in the hrst
round. The ST. Paul favorite came
back in the second and third rounds
and won both by slight margin. This
only served to put Henderson on his
mettle, however, and the fourth round
was his by large margin. In the
fifth round he came back stronger than
ever and pounded Redmond about the
ring in an easy fashion, until the st.
Paul youth was forced to give up.
Both battlers weighed in at 1i2
pounds.
Young Henderson Victorious.
Young Henderson of this city, broth
er of Earl, added further laurels to
his credit last night in the preliminary
events, by trimming Kid Dewey of Des
Moines in scheduled six round bat
tie. Dewey was no match for the To-
cal pug and Henderson COPIED the
first three rounds with hardly any
trouble The fourth round Dewey's
seconds tossed the towel into the ring
giving a clean victory for the fast Ito
pound youth of Rock Island.
After this match Charles Fidler of
Des Moines challenged Henderson to
bout to be fought any place and at any
time, and Hendersons manager, 7. r.
Cline, accepted.
ByIund Trims Grenier.
Carl Grenier of Rock Island was no
match for Bobby Bylund, the well
known wrestler of Moline, even
though the latter lays no claim to be-
ing a boxer. Grenier was damned
about the ring with heavy gloves for
six rounds, and Bylund copied honors
by an easy margin. Other events of
the same kind under supervision of
the police, will be staged in the flu
ture at the Olympic quarters.

VOLLMER ROLLS PAL PINS
East Moline Five Surprises Everyone
by Giving Up Second Place
Without Fight.
Final STANDING.

The final series in the bowling sea
son of the Twin-City league was rolled
last evening. Those merciless Cubs
'5pleyed true championship form and
walloped the lowly Colts in easy fash
ion for three straight games, conse-
auently Churchill's men have the
honor of being 1914 cellar champs. AL
though the Colts landed at the bottom
of the percentage column, they dis
played good form at times throughout
the year and no team th-t met them
was sure of victory. The Cubs did not
roll any unusually high scor last
evening, but the champs showed con-
siderable team work, and totaled over
$3.50 pins in the three contests.
The Reliables escaped the bottom
rung in the ladder by coping two
games in a fast series from the Stock
Leaders, who were at one time pen
nant aspirants.
The fast Moline five, who caused
the Cubs some worry about month
ago, fell down woefully in the last
series, FORGETTING three games to the
Cross Countrys because two of their
players failed to show up, and also
handed the Wichmen second place In
the league standing without fight.
Only one game separated these TWO
teams for second place, with the Plow
City boys in the lead, and warm bat
tie was anticipated.
VoIImer in Hard Luck.
Vollmer made a valiant effort to
beat out the single high game record
I sr,IN 10 q
by a margin of three pins. Churchill
had an excellent chance to cop the IN
diyidual high three game prize when
he started with 223 and 205. but he
ran into several bad splits in the final
game getting only 16S-
The Cubs repeated the Rock Island
Brews feat in the Island City league
by coping every prize in sight with
the exception of the individual single
game record of PA, l-eld by Lindburg.
Salzmann of the Cubs is first in the
individual averages with IFS for the
season, and he is also high in the in
di-idual three game total with 636,
beating out Fredeen and Holm by one
pin.
The Cubs are high in the three
game total with 2767 and the champs
are also high in the single game rec
ord with 957.
The past season was one of the most
successful since the league was or
ganized. The race for the pennant was

tomorrow morning, and it is expected
that the Islander track men will pull
up strong in the meet to be held by
the Big Eight. This is the largest
track and field team which has repre-
scented the local school for a number
of years. 1t is a very we'll balanced
team. The pole vault is the only event
in which the Island City school will
not be represented.

when Clark evened the so yard rec
ord; Claude Hippler, the Geneseo

the past three seasons; Bryan Kane, a
new man of speed, and Earl Chalk
are all entered for the one-half mile
relay race. Last year the local team
composed of Hippler, Chalk, Clark and
Kipp, COPIED the relay pennant and
they are hoping to pull down the same
pennant again this season. How the
team will run is not definitely known,
but probably the same men will COM
pose the team again this year.
The List of Athletes.
The men who will compose the local
team and the events for which they
are scheduled: Clark, Ingalls, and Hip
pier, so, 100 and 220 yard dashes;

in the contest. She was pressed hard
for the honor by John Freistat. and
won out by small margin. She is ex-
pected to take one of the three medals

Would Be Glad to Make a
Present of It.

Game of Opening Series.

Rock Island can have baseball II It

Jimmy Boyle, president of the club,
told Jack Tighe while here this week
that he would turn the outfit over, bag
and baggage if Rock Island would
merely take it off his hands. He said
he wouldn't ask any compensation,
but he neglected TO say what obliga-
tons are outstanding against the
club.
Seldom, If ever. has a Three-Eye
league club owner been so completely
disheartened so early in the season as
Boyle is. At the opening at home
Danville drew 500 people. Next day
the crowd dwindled to 200 and on the
third day but 40 people turned out.
With a $50 guaranty to make good on
the team went in the hole right at the
start. Then Danville has been down
in the region of the rear of the pro-
cession all along, and that doesn't
help any.
Bloomington Weak.
Bloomington. too. is said to be in
bad way. while Decatur is none too
strong. 4 few weeks of wet weather.
from present appearances, would
swamp the entire league.
Such sentiment as has come to the
surface here has not been favorable to
taking the Danville or any other
Three-E Eye club under present circum-
stances. The fans feel that they
would rather go withc,lt baseball lit
tie longer and then get into some cir
cult with brighter prospects.

Lumber Laden Schooner Is on
Momentous Voyage; viii Be

Coast Cargo,

ESPECIAL cosrssrososnes 70 so.s,ra JOURNAL
Washington. Aug. 23.--Swinging at
anchor In the harbor OF Rio de ia
metro, Brazil, awaiting war develop
ments that will permit her to con-
tinue her journey, lies lumber-ladcn
vessel that is about to complete n
momentous voyage. She Is the Brit
ish steamer Robert Dollar Of the San
Francisco Steamship company of the
same name, one of the last ships to
carry coast-to-coast cargo around
Cape Horn. The Panama canal, now
open to world traffic, will make IL
unnecessary in the future for ships
to traverse this long historic lane to
carry goods between the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts of North America.
The Robert Dollar was loaded with
lumber at British Columbia mills and
cleared from Victoria, b. c., more
than a month ago, bound for New
London, Conn, with the intention OF
being one of the first ships to use the
Panama canal. Governor Goethals
was unable to say at that time, how
ever, just when the canal would be
opened, so the company directed the
ship around the Horn. Her expert
ence affords a concrete example of
the value of the canal to shipping,
as after months steaming she is
just about as far along as II she had
waited In the bay of Panama and
locked through with the first ships
last Saturday Had the date of open
ing been certain the ships owners
could have saved several thousand
dollars in fuel and other running ex-
pensp
