Rushed" Too Hard.

Brother Rush, of the Glen Gard
ner Avalanche evidently put his foot
in'' a week or two ago when he dis
cussed, editorially, a tango dance
held in his town. Evidently it was
the truth, anyway, because somebody
found out that it hit them all right.
The Avalanche editor threatens to
go into some other business if he
can't run his own newspaper to suit
himself, and also intimateS that if
he told all he knew about lots of
things, even the tango would be for
gotten for the time being.
Sometime ago Brother Killgore,
of the Hunterdon County Democrat,
embroiled in a verbal scuffle with
somebody over the dance, and now
Brother Carpenter, of the Clinton
Democrat, is tackling the same
proposition.
Some months ago the Record and
the Beacon came near making Lam

SIS per week. holding the job and
receiving three offers of marriage
all within six days.
Some of the papers are mean
to say that Sd per week is now the
real value of a statesman in practical
work, but this is hardly fair, because
we believe that some of them are
worth as much as Sc or ST when
men are scarce, in really gainful
occupations.
Of course there are some worth
much more, but they haven't been
taking such an active part in public
affairs lately.

Still Explaining

The North Jersey newspapers are
still busy explaining just how it was
that Dow H. Drukker beat other can
didates out 2 to l in in the Congress
sional race over in Passaic County a
few weeks ago. President Wilson
asked for an endorsement of his
Panama policy, and got it in the
neck.

and your enemies won't believe you

Brother Editor Charges Libel.

Just by way of repartee the edi-
tor of the Warren Tidings now
threatens to sue the Washington
Star, another paper published in the
same Warren County town, for
some sum like $4,000, because the
Star said the Tidings would cease to
exist last week.
Judging at this distance, we
should say that the Tidings must
have entirely too valuable propo-
sition to let go of it now if single
item in a rival paper can damage it
$4,000, or else the Star is some
thing away above the ordinary in
the power it yields in the COM
munity.

HONOR FOR UNITED STATES.

One of the foremost educators Of
Argentina, DR.. Antonio Vidal, who
has spent more than year in inves-
tigating the schools of Europe and
the United States, completed his
work in Chicago recently. DR.. Vidal
said that the United States leads the
world in the education of defective
children, Germany being its only RI
val. He said the teaching of sex by
giene in the schools was a subject
to which he had devoted much
thought and considerable observa-
ton, but that it was a question with
so many collateral issues that he had
not decided in his own mind for or
against the innovation.

The general heard of the threat

Physical Director Johnson issued a
standing challenge this morning to any

of Davenport, Moline and Rock Island.
The Davenport Y. NJ. c. A. has one OF
the fastest teams in the field this year
that the association has ever boosted,
and tonight's game with the Musk1es
promises to be real hummer. The
two teams played once before and Dav-
export won by the narrow margin or
one point, after having tied at the last
moment of play.
The Davenport team will line up to-
night as follows: Richardson and

The first game of the Augustana col

Island meets the Luther college team.
The Luther men do not have a fast
team this year. having lost all of the
games played this season, and there is
little possibility of their defeating the
fast Augustana team tonight, as the
boys are contenders for the collegiate
championship of Illinois.
Tomorrow night the local five will
journey to st. Peter, Mimi, and meet
the fast Gustayus Adolphus team of

Friday evening of this week. The
Minnesota team has won all of its pres

Two Well Known Citizens
Journey to Chicago to See
Al Tearney.

City Now Owns Park and Fans Want
Three-i Team Here In 1914
No League Ball for Years.

Two well known baseball men of
this city whose names have not been
disclosed, are in Chicago this week
comforting with Al Tearney, president
OF the Three-I league, regarding a
franchise for Rock Island in 1914. A
strenuous effort will be made by these
two men to have Tearney consent to
allow Rock Island a franchise in the
league, before he calls the regular
winter session, which it is said he ex-
poets to do next week
The two men stated before going to
the city that they expected to succeed
in their mission and secure Tearney's
consent. Several years without league
baseball has worked on the nerves of
the Island City fans and a team here
would receive excellent support, it is
thought.
City Owns the Park.
With the city owning the park and
the town without baseball, there is
no revenue being derived from the
grounds, with the possible exception
of the small amount collected from the
football games in the fall. Should a
team be secured here the rental for
the park would aid a great deal in
paying off expenses. The citizens
voted bonds for the purchase of Island
City park so that 1t could be saved for
baseball, and that is what the fans
and supporters are after now.

CUTLER To PULL

But Chicagoan Will Have Diff
Guilty Working It on LIE
Bousher, Frenchman.

Charley Cutler, the Chicago grappler,
will have considerable difficulty in ap-
plying his celebrated "Jack-knife"
hold on Pietro LIE Bousher, the French
champion, when the two get together
in their finish bout at the Illinois the
is the contention of the Frenchman.
LIE Bousher claims that he knows how
to avoid the new hold which Cutler
used with such deadly results on Ivan
Romanoff, and if Cutler succeeds in
getting it the Frenchman says he
knows how to break it.
Cutler is just perfecting this hold,
and he hopes it will bring him an I'M
disputed claim to the worlds title
some day. Cutler employed it against
Romanoff, and the big foreigner ap-
peared helpless in this grip. By means
of this hold Cutler secures a scissors
on his antagonists head and leg at the
same time. He pulls the two together,
and though the victim has both hands
free he seems unable TO extricate him
self
8 lie Bousher claims in the first place
that he will prevent Cutler securing
such lock on him. He says his
weight, 246 pounds, and his strength
will keep Cutler at the required dis
tance. He further says he has worked
out a scheme that will break the hold
no matter how we'll Cutler may have
him in his embrace.
1t viii accordingly be interesting to
see the tactics that these two big
men will employ against each other.
Cutler is known to be a powerful and
tricky grappler, and in the Frenchman
he is said to have a foe worthy of his
mettle. LIE Bousher is expected in
Rock Island today to complete his
training at Clifford's gymnasium. He
is anxious TO take on all the heavy
weights in this vicinity, and declares
he is ready to turn over SO a minute
to any of them who will stay with him
over five minutes in training. There
will probably be some volunteers to
keep him busy.
An interesting athletic program will
be presented Thursday night in addi-
ton to the main bout of the evening.
