SCHOOLS MEETING
|. ON CINDER TRACK
Annual Dual Clash Between Rock Is.
land and Moline Is on at Expo.
sitiOn Park This Afternoon.
(BY BOB OLMSTED),

A rather uncertain outcome will re-
suit from the dual track meet between
the twin-city high schools, which is
in progress at the local Exposition
park this afternoon. Big enthusiasm
is being displayed by both sides and it
is expected that there will be a large
crowd to witness the meet
This event will be the first real
ichanCe to secure an idea of the strength
Of the Rock Island and Moline teams,
as everything hitherto has been more
or less conjecture, due to the inexpe-
rience of the men on both teams.
Thomas and Bassett are the only ones
that can be vouched for among the Is
landers and Kerns and Fromme among
the Plow City boys, Kerns showing up
well in the sprints and F'romme in the
shotput and discus throw.
From present indications, it seems
that the sprints will be favorable to
Rock Island. Moline will be doing eX-
tremely well if it is able to put up an
individual star of Thomas caliber and
will also have hard work to beat Bas-
sett. 1t appears that their only hope
in this line is in wealth of material and
even in this, they will have small
chance as Schurr, Stauduhar, Brock
man, koenig and Ellinwood are all
showing up we'll in this line and will
probably come in for several shares of
the second and third places.
| In the shotput and discus throw, the
outcome is very uncertain and it ap-
pears that the locals will have some
thing to fear in this line from Fromme.
However. James and kuehl in the for
mer and Saulpaugh and kuehl N the
latter, are doing we'll in practice and
will probably make the Swedes work
| for all their points.
Altogether, although the matter is
| still in uncertainty, the outcome looks
! favorable to the Islanders and if vic
tory does not come to them in this
meet, they will be sure to make Moline
! feel uncomfortable for the tri-city meet

Eddie Evers and party left Rock Is
land last night for Des Moines where
Eddie tackles Bobby Burns in a 10
round go tonight. The Texas ban
tam is rated as one of the topnotchers
in his class and victory for Evers
would boost his standing 100 per

To Fritzie Erlewein goes the credit
of scoring the first run for Rock Is
land this season. Page Zeine Clayton
he drove it in.
| Lister found use for his second
catcher right off the bat Julie Munich
! split his finger Wednesday and Homer
/ Vance did duty behind the log yes

! Vance accepted IL chances without
! an error yesterday. A busy day for
/ any. catcher. In three times to bat
/ Vance drove three long flies to the
! outtield. Moore grabbed one of them
/ and Pettigrew the other two.
| Clayton drove the ball to the left
/ field fence in the sixth and the hit
| should have been a two-bagger, but
I BIltz, who was on the bags ahead of,
! him. was unable to reach third on the
play, and Zeine had to be content to
! perch on first.
| Davis made a sensational shoestring
! catch of Erlewein's smash to right in
| the eighth inning The coacher was
| so sure of the hit that he sent Wolfe
around to third and double play re-
suited.
Hannibal beat Blueiacket and Sim
on, the great ex-Fed battery, in the
opener. Oh, well, the season is young,
quoth a Bloomer sport scribe. 1t was
a hard pill for Bluejacket to swallow,
as the Boomers outhit the Mules two
to one.
| Several Of the Rockford directors
are up in arms and threaten to resign

Cardinals Lose Opener.
Chicago. April 2S.-Crowding half
of their hits into one inning and max
ing every blow count the Cubs yester-
day defeated the ST. Louis Cardinals
at Weeghman park in the first game OF
the series, 8 to 5. The big noise came
in the fourth inning and it was wild
and glorious session for the 1000 re-
frigerated fans, who braved chills andxs
frost bites. During the round hy
Jasper. of White Sox memory, was
driven from the mound and large slices
were peeled off Rees Williams hide
before the side had disappeared INTO
the dugout.
After the statistics had been taou-
lated it was found that Jasper nau
been nicked for two safe blows and
two runs. Williams for four wallops
and four tallies, while eleven Bruins
had faced the two twirlers. Thus 1t
can be figured that the three runs
which preceded this twin COLLISION
were not needed, although the CardS
put up rally of considerable proper
tons in the ninth. The score:
