NEW FRIENDS - AND OLD =
AT THE OVERCOAT-FAIR

During the past week close OBJ
server could notice many strange
faces among the crowds who visited
the Overcoat-Fair at Doutrichs Store
for Men. Some of these men came
out of curiosity, some simply follow
ing their friends, and some frankly
won by the interesting aspect of an
Overcoat- Fair. Perhaps you have
noticed how the men stop first to
glance at the window, then go inside,
occasionally half cynical and prepared
to scoff, yet they always come out
with the smile of satisfaction, for you
just cannot help being won by the big,
broad spirit of this progressive store.

nine years ago Doutrichs was q new

"I should like very much to have
my photograph taken at home, for I

KNOCKOUT BOXER
BEATEN BY EVERS
Local Boy Puts Crimp in Joe Burger
of Chicago i'm Ten Rounds Be-
fore Iowa City Club.

Joe Burgers knockout career was
cut short last night at Iowa City, when
Eddie Evers, bantam boxer of Rock
Island, fought the Chicago lad to a
standstill and won by a wide margin
in 10 rounds of furious milling. The
first four rounds the boys fought even
ly, Evers letting Burger do all the
leading, feeling him out. Evers then
warmed up and from the fourth on
Burger never had chance, being
completely bewildered by the clever
footwork of the local boy. At times the
Chicago lad was up in the air as Evers
rained blows. In the eighth and tenth
rounds Evers had Burger in bad way
and the bell saved the Chicago boy
from knockout.
Evers paid Burger tribute when he
stated that the Chicago boy had the
stiffest wallop he ever bucked against,
but he was unable to connect with any
vital spot on the local boys anatomy.
Up until the time Burger met Evers
he had II successive kayos to his
credit, his last victim being Red
Kelly of Burlington. Burger is former
125-pound champion of Chicago and
won tournaments in that city and
Cleveland. The victory is big feather
in Eddie's cap. Burger weighed 125
pounds and Evers 116. Buck Timothy
of Davenport and Frankie White of
Chicago staged six-round boxing ex-
hibition as preliminary. The boys
were scheduled to go eight rounds, but
a boil on Timothy's face prevented
a real scrap. Manager George Dams is
going to make an effort to match
Evers with frankie White soon.
White is bantam and a sparring
partner of Johnny Coulon.
Earl Henderson, local welterweight
fighter, leaves soon for Pawhuska,
Okla, where he has bouts arranged
for March 13 and II.

LOCALS TO WIND UP
WITH ALEDO FRIDAY
tBY BOB OLMSTED),

With the team in it's best condition
since the commencement of the season,
the Rock Island high school squad will
tilt with the fast quintet from Aledo
high tomorrow evening in the school
gymnasium. According to indications
the game will be very satisfactory
closing for the locals season, although
it will very probably be rather dis
heartening one for Aledo. However,
the Mercer county lads are preparing
to make mighty stand tomorrow and
end their season in a somewhat credit
able manner.
The satisfaction to Rock Island Is
expected to come mainly from the
large margin which it expects to roll
up on its opponents. The local lads
are already justly proud Of their rec
ord of 6O6 points to their opponents
400. but they still want one last chance
to change the score even more radi-
cally in their favor. 1t is a safe pre-
diction that the game tomorrow night
will widen this margin to a majority
of quite few over 200.

amounts withdrawn for making sub
