iowa FANS FIGHT
HARD FOR BERTH
Central Association Sought by
Marshalltown but Fans Have
Little Chance.

There will be no difficulty in clos
ing up the Central association circuit
even II Moline is not able to come in.
Marshalltown, according TO reports
from that city. is going baseball crazy.
and every effort is being made to OBJ
tain a berth. \ delegation of fans
from Marshalltown called on A. s.
Lawrence at Muscatine, and urged
their cause with this member OF the
committee appointed to investigate ap-
plicants TO the league. The fans told
Lawrence that they had already raised
more than $4,000 to finance a club
should they be able 10 obtain a fran
chise.
This is, of course. the proper en-
thusiasm to display. but Marshalltown
has about one chance in a dozen of
landing the vacant franchise. Rock
Island is TO go out after the berth.
10 many and authentic re-
ports. and as Moline does not seem TO
have succeeded in its quest it is
thought that the Islanders viii doubt
less secure the berth.

DAVENPORT WILL
MEET MUSCATINE
Coach Johnson Says This Will
Be Final Game Unless
Augustana Plays.

Coach and Physical Director John.
son of the Davenport Y. NJ. c. A. has
announced that the association team
will play but one more game this sea-
son. the fast Muscatine quintet to be
their contenders in sae final strug-
gle. The Davenporters presumably
captured the tri-city title here Satur-
day night by winning from the So
Gals, and as there are no other con-
tenders, none at any rate having
shown sufficient gumption to challenge
the association. team, the coach has de-
cided to end up the season. The Dav-
export and Muscatine fives have play
ed two games this season, each hav-
ing won one apiece.
The Augustana quintet has been
challenged a number of times bct an.
nouncement comes from the college
that no game will be added to the
present schedule of the coIlegians,
until the Illinois state intercollegiate
title is decided. The local college
quintet is an important contender for
state honors this year and do not de-
sire to make their schedule any harder
at present. 1t is stated, however. that
a game may be arranged for the cham
pionship after the college has finished
its playing season with other schools.
The observation-disclosures game will
be played at Davenport some time
within the next couple of weeks.

MOLINE CLUB MAY
ARRANGE BATTLE
Efforts Being Made to Match
Young" Sinnet for Scrap
at Olympic Club.

An efftrt is being made by Olympic
club officials of Moline, to stage a TO-
round battle between Young" Sinnet,
bantamweight of Rock Island and one
of the best scrappers in the world in
this class, and kid" Tearney. The
rumor which has been current that
Sinnet was matched to meet Matty
Smith, the Northwestern champion, is
false, according to the officials, as no
such bout has been arranged.
Tearney is a Peoria man and the
officials are corresponding with him
in an effort to have him come here to
meet the local boy. If they succeed
an evening of excellent entertainment
will be arranged, several good prelimi-
naries to be arranged later. No date
for the bout has been set, as this will
depend upon Tearney's desires.

New York, Feb. 10.-Of all wild
flights ever successfully made in Amer
lea that of twenty-four-year-old Charles
o. Niles, a graduate of the Curtiss
school of flyers, rising from Hemp
stead Plains, is accounted the widest.
Young Niles went up in a Moisant
monoplane that had no special f1xings.
The only concession he made to gravi-
tation was the wearing of a leather
harness designed to keep him from
spilling out of his seat when riding
upside down.
The Moissant he used was hardly
flying machine with whose ''individu-
atty" he could claim intimacy. He
had only been up in it eight times.
He began his air career with a BIZ
plane and last summer won second
prize for the flight around New York
in one of the double deckers. Also,
in one of them in November, 1912,
the youth had taken a 7,000-foot fall
most neatly, hardly mussing his hair.
His engine broke down when he was
at this altitude and he had made one
great long swoop to earth, descending
luckily for him, in the face of a strong
field with only force enough to bump
young Niles into the turf about ten
feet ahead of its own nose.
There was no such wind when Niles
made his last flight The field flags
were hardly Strengthened by the
breeze. Fleets of motor cars brought
the wealthy from Long Island country
homes Farmers and their families,
some in motor cars, too, arrived.
First young Niles faced cameras and
then he faced the sky, climbing in
hugh spirals an estimated distance of
fifteen miles, pausing his monoplane
{, 1000 feet in air-a mere speck to the
watchers.
The hundreds who had glasses train
ed on him suddenly yelled. They had
seen the monoplane point its nose
at the earth-and drop. 1t shot
down 500 feet Then it Strengthened.
And then it took a downward, curving
swoop. 1t stopped with motor upside
Niles feet turned upward.
In this position-the motor upside
down-the petrol fell back into its
reservoirs; could not feed the engine.
Niles was left hanging head downward
and powerless and falling. Horror
came on the crowd and means and
cries were heard.
Then as the air pressure became !
terrific by reason of the swift fall of
the machine, it was seen to lift the |
fish tail of the apparatus, make it |
vertical about fifteen hundred feet in |
the air. and, when it did. the petrol !,
went flowing back to feed the mech |
anism and the motor began to hum |
One thousand feet above the field Niles |
had completely righted the machine |
and was in control. He had safely de- |
'cended before the crowd had suffi- !
,iently recovered its establishment to /
cheer him.
