Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-07-10

| George reached New Castle early
in 1907 at the age of 10 years. He
didn't have a friend in the town or. a
nickel in his pocket. Having nothing
else to do he went into Dimes gymna-
SUM to watch the boxers at work. He
told his hard luck story to Dime and
was offered a chance to earn some
change by acting as a sparting part
ner. which opportunity he accepted.
He fought his first fight in 1909 and
won It in two rounds by knockout.
His opponent was George Gill. The
bout was staged at New Castle. In
that year he fought II fights and six
of them were won by knockouts.
Chip was up against lot of second
raters in 1909, but the next year he
went against such men as Tom Nc
Mahon, Buck Grouse, Bill Berger. Jack
Dillon and others and gradually be-
came recognized as a real scrapper.
II was in 1913 that Chip found a
chance TO fight a man who had legit-
innate claim to the middleweight title.
After Frank Klaus beat Billy Papke.
the last holder o ( the title before
Stanley Ketchell, Chip went after him.
Klaus and Chip met in Pittsburgh on
Oct. IL. and Chip won by a knockout
in six rounds. To prove that 1t was
no fluke he gave Klaus a second bat
tie and sent over a sIeep-producer in
the sixth round again. The last bout
was on Dec. %. Last winter Al Nc
Coy of Brooklyn dropped Chip in two
rounds for a knockout. Since that
time Billy Murray has beaten Mccoy
twice. On July 4 Chip knocked out
Murray in the 18th round and now
stands ready to meet Jimmy Clabby
for the middleweight championship of
the world.

ANOTHER ENTRY
IN ELCIN RACES

Elgin, Ill, July 10.-An additional en-
try for the Elgin road races of August
81 and % was received yesterday when
Charles Erbstein filed with officials of
the Chicago Automobile club the nomi-
nation of another car. bringing the to-
tai number of entries to date up to
eight. Erbstein entered a second Mar
mon, to be driven by Lou Heinemann.
The first entry made by Erbstein is to
be piloted by either Cyrus Patschke or
Howard Wilcox.
The second string to Erbstein's bow
is the famous No. 81 that was driven
into second place in the 1910 Wander
bilt by Joe Dawson, who lost the class
ic trophy by twenty-one seconds. The
car also won the worlds nonstop rec
ord at Savannah with score of 277
miles, took the 1910 race for the
Wheatley Hills trophy and also annex
ed the Cobe cup at indianapolis the
same year.
Heinemann is considered one of the
cleverest dirt track pilots in the coun-
try and also is a past master at the
road racing end of the game. His most
recent appearance In this city was in
the Hawthorne races of July and 8,
when he won one OF the leading events
and ran close TO Louis Disbrow, Eddie
Hearne and other cracks in other con-
tests.
Heinemann will drive the Erbstein
Marmon for the Elgin National trophy
on the second day.

George Chip as fighter and citizen.

Scranton, Pa. July 10.-George Chip,
whose recent knockout victory over
Billy Murray makes him again a con-
tender -or the middleweight boxing
title. is prizefghter on account of a
freak OF luck.
George would probably be a day
laborer in a Scranton coal mine today
and not a near champion, had he not
mistakingly supposed that a man whom
he hit in the course of an argument
was dead. This caused him TO catch
the first train out of Scranton. He
finally wound up at New Castle down
and out. where he got a job as spar
ring partner in Jimmy Dimes stable.
It was while he was doing this that
Dime. his present manager. discovered
Chips wonderful wallop and fighting
possibilities.
Chip was born on Aug. %, 1883, to
Mr.. and Mrs. John Chipulonis, resi-
dents OF North Scranton. AT the age
of 10 years he went to work in the
breaker and when he became II he
was promoted to mule driver in the
Cayuga mine.
1t was while doing this kind of work
in the Cayuga in 1906 that he had a
run-in with his boss in the mines. The
boss threatened to fire him and he
took a punch at the latter's jaw. The
foreman fell to the ground uncon-
scious.
Chip wasn't taking any chances on
being arrested and fearing that the
man was dead, he escaped from the
mines through a tunnel leading to the
surface. He ran to his home few
blocks away from the mouth of the
tunnel and after changing his clothes
left town. The foreman was only
stunned.

DATE CITY HOTEL
RECEIVES SETBACK

The Imperial Valley Syndicate has
filed an action against E. p. Hum
ziker and f. C. A. Berger to set
aside the deed for land sold to the
defendants for the purpose of erect
ing a $47,50O hotel in Date City,
the Imperial Valley Syndicate being
the founders of that townsite.
The land in question was held in
trust by Edith Rogers Arnold and is
valued at $1,000. On January 20 the
defendants notified the syndicate that
practically all of the foundation work
had been completed and that further
payments would be made on the prop
erty. The syndicate alleges in the
complaint that the defendants failed
to meet certain obligations in connec-
ton with the building and ask that
the land be decided back to the cor
poration.

WALSH HAS OLD
SENTENCE HANGING
OVER, HIS HEAD

It is quite probable that Hugh D..
Walsh, who was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff E. E. Cummings for
cashing a $75 check belonging to
Deputy District Attorney H. l.. Welch,
would have been gracing Jail cell
today anyway, as city Recorder Mi
chael Sorensen had given Walsh un-
til the 10th of this month to make
a payment on the balance of $1O0
fine imposed on February 9.
Walsh was arrested on February
8 for carrying concealed weapons
and fined $10O. He served twenty
days of this in the county Jail, leav-
ing balance of $50. Walsh ap-
pealed to the city recorder to give
him an opportunity to seek employ
ment and pay the fine. The request
was granted, the first payment falling
due on March 10. Walsh appeared
before Recorder Sorensen, stating that
iiC Hau JuoC otdICcu III q lucrative DuS-
mess and would soon have sufficient
funds to wipe out the whole indebt-
edness. He was given ten more days
in which to make good, but failed to
produce. Recorder Sorsensen stated
this morning that it was his belief
that Walsh had confscated the check
to apply on the balance of the fine.
Walsh, after cashing the $75 check,
went to Mexicali and on his return
was without funds, none of the mon
ey having been paid to the city on the
old fine. Walsh stated this morning
that he had done work for the city
but had never received any pay. He
applied several times to Police Com
missioner William Egerer for permis-
sion to act as a special officer on
the East Side, but the commissioner
him that his services were
not needed.
Deputy Marshal A. C. Henson,
when on the force, stated that he
had agreed with Walsh that if the
latter could produce evidence against
any of the blind tigers across the
track that remuneration would be
Forthcoming.

GRAND DUCHESS TATIANA.

st. Petersburg, April 10.-Court
circles are considerably aroused over
a report that tells of certain young
grand duke, announcement OF whose
engagement to the Cars daughter,
Grand Duchess Tatiana, was expect
ed momentarily, expressing desire
to renounce his imperial rights be-
cause of his love for an American
girl, a Miss Durham. The young no.
bleman is Grand Duke Dimitri. 1t
was at first reported that his recent
banishment to Egypt by the emperor
was because of his rumored admira-
tion for Princess Belosselsky, for
merly Miss Suzanne Whittier of Bos-
ton. The Gar and CZarina are known
to have been desirous of arranging a
match between Dimitri and their
daughter Tatiana. The young noble
man is well known for his stubborn
ness, and some have been so bold
as to predict that he will never re-
turn to st. Petersburg.
