the release of the prisoners promises to

For several years the question of farm
labor has grown to be more and more a
matter of serious nature. The negroes
prefer to live in the towns or to work
on the public works. where they can be
together in crowds. Often the farmers
are sorely tried in their efforts 10 get
labor at rush seasons and are forced to
pay exorbitant prices.
But the ordinary labOrers among the
cOnvicts find the farms their best
chance for getting the coveted job. The
farmers are willing to take the risk, if
risk it is, and they are offering to give
employment to the prisoners. In one
county the seventeen negroes that are
due to return have all been thus guar

gins In Grudge Match. -

Danny Goodman, the lightweight
Kid Beebee of Milwaukee at Exposi-
ton park tomorrow night, has perhaps
fought more battles during his ring
career than any other battler now in
the game. Danny has been scrapping
for many years, and his services are
much in demand. He has met some of
the best men in the world in the light
weight class, and, though he has never
been knocked out, he has never sue
ceeded in garnering the worlds title.
He has made them all hustle, how
ever, and will meet Kid Beebee of
Milwaukee tomorrow night for the
first time in his life. Both battlers
have arrived in Rock Island ready for
their go, and both are in excellent con-
dition.
Fans Watch Evers Match.
Doubtless the match which will be
watched with the greatest interest by
local ringside fans will be the eighss
round affair between Young Evers of
Rock Island and Young Ross Of Joliet.
Both men are corners in the bantam
weight division and conceded by many
fight fans as possible champions, If
they continue at the game and keep
going at their present pace. Evers'
friends are predicting that within a
couple of years, and after he has ac- Z
quired more experience, he will bel
right among the top-notchers with aN
good chance at the title. Ross is a
fast man, has a clever punch and ie
exceptionally good in footwork. He
is a clean scrapper and these two lads
should put up a most interesting bout
AS a preliminary, Leo Higgins and
Kid Morgan, both of Davenport, will
face each other in a six-round grudge
scrap, and the fur is going to fly from
the start They are both strong rivals
and each claims he can wipe the eartn
with the other. The program will be-
gin at 8 o'clock.

1900 BLOCK WILL
NOT TAKE A REST
Local Ball Team Continues to
Win Games by Hard Hitting
and Good Hurting.

The 1900 Block team yesterday de-
feated the Brunswicks of Davenport
at Reservoir park 10 to 3. The victory
is a notable one since the visitors are
considered the fastest amateur club
across the river.
Reeves, who twirls for the locals,
seemed to be in better form than he
has for some time. Only two hits
were made off him and his strikecuts
numbered IL while he allowed only
one base on balls. A week ago he
held the Davenport West End grocers
to one scratch hit.
James and Sexton share the honors
with the stick, the former making a
home run and the latter making
three base hit which he tried to make
the circuit on and was nipped at the
plate after a perfect slide.
Arrangements are being made to Sc
cure a game with the Islanders, an
othe-. fast local team, for next Sun
day afternoon. This will no doubt be
the fastest game that the local bugs
will get a chance to watch this year as
both teams have been winning for the
last few weeks. Although the manag-
ers have not agreed to play as yet, 1t
is thought that there will be little or
no difficulty in securing the game.
Labor day the Davenport X P.'s will
be given a chance TO humble the local
b>ys, as a game has been scheduled
for that day.

which began this morning on the links
of the Ekwanok Country club. The
biggest gallery of the day followed
Jerome D. Travers of Upper Mont

who paired up in the afternoon with
Robert C. Watson, president of the
United States Golf association, against
Fred Herreshoff of Garden City and
Eben NJ. Byers of Pittsburgh.
After taking five for the first hole,
Travers played faultlessly to the turn,
going out in So. 1t began to look as if
he had 6S coming, but he slipped up
on the last four holes, and had to be
content with a 70. The match was
halved when Watson won the home
hole for his side. This is the best
record Travers has had since he came
here nearly week ago and his admir-
ers feel encouraged.
