Seidlitz's $4,000 Offer for GOtch.
Stecher Go Is Duly Recorded With
Gene Melady in Omaha.

Otto Seidlitz, president of the Rock
Island Exposition Park company, yes
terday afternoon received a letter from
Gene Melady, Omaha, promoter of the
proposed Gotch-Stecher championship
match, informing the local man that
he had not received his letter making
a bona fde offer of $4,000 for the con-
test. 1t is evident that the letter mis-
carried. When Melady learned by
wire that Seidlitz really made the Of
fer, he thanked him and assured the
local promoter that Rock Island would
be given consideration along with the
was selected. He told Mr. Seidlitz to
write him again, informing him of the
hotel, railway and street car facili-
ties and other details that will go to-
ward making the match a success.
Mr.. Seidlitz will acquaint him with
the facilities here, as he is confident
that the hotels of the tri-cities could
house monster crowd. Railroad ia
cilities to the city are excellent, four
lines running in here, and the street
cars operate within a block of EXPOSE
ton park, where the bout would be
staged. The city streets are paved all
the way to the park.
The bout will not be held until Labor
day, and Mr.. Melady stated that some
time would elapse before a site could
be considered. Rock Islands applica-
ton, however, has been put on file and

Harry succumbed the second time to
deadlock and body hold in six minutes

to tip the scales at 230 pounds, but
when the fans saw him in action many
were of the opinion that Caddock.
whose weight is given as 1856, was
heavier than his opponent. Several
times Harry took the offensive and had
some dangerous holds on Caddock, but

ISLANDERS PLAY
Moline TONIGHT.
Get Final Crack at District Champions
on the Local Y. VI. c. A. GYM
nasium Floor.
(By BOB 0LMSTED).

The third last and probably the
greatest clash between the Rock Island
high school basketball quintet and its
Moline opponents for this season will
take place this evening at o'clock in
the local Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium. Mo-
lines brand of game is hard to predict,
but according to present indications,
Rock Island is starting out to play the
contest with logged desire to win at
all costs, thus indicating its superior
ity over the maroon and white The
tournament is past, but, if victory
greets the efforts of the local five to-
morrow. there will be considerably
more satisfaction in the Rock Island
tents than in Moline's. for that will
mean two out of three for the home
team and the right to all the honOrs
that Moline secures at the state tourna-
ment.
1t is not to be inferred from this,
however, that victory is anything as
sured for the crimson and gold. The
Pillow City squad is in fine shape and
i'll its last games, showed no signs of
weakening. However, the great goal
for which Moline was working in the
district tournament is no longer before
her and it is expected that, with the
state tournament ahead she may let
down easy on the last game of her
schedule. Nevertheless, If she does So
it will be the first backward step that
she has taken this season and so 1t is
very little to he counted upon.
The locals, however. have a some
what higher ambition in the game to-
morrow than McGough's squad, for
with no state tournament before it, the
desire to beat Moline by dope" is para
mount In the minds Of the boys. Thus,
the spirit which they will show is ex-
pected to be the mosht fighting one
that they have ever exhibited
The idea Of scrap in fact, is being
drilled into the boys all the time by
the coach and it is probably the most
successful lesson that he has ever
taught. Rock Island expects to get
into the game at the very first and
keep 1t up until the sound of the
whistle. If Moline wins the game to-
morrow, she will be undoubtedly the
uncontested champion of the district.
A slight change in the lineup of the
locals is also being promised the coach
expecting to start Thomas in at CEN
ter instead of Barker Thomas is a
fighter from start to finish and, in this
respect, no Moline man will have any
thing on him. He is also good in team
work and will be no small factor for
Moline TO contend with in this line.
The lineups for the two teams will
be as follows:
Rock Island AL Taber. IF; Dempsey,
If; Thomas, C; Ackley, rg; Heimbeck,
lg.
Moline: Welsh, IF: Wiederquist, II;
Lyons, c; Ludwick, rg; Rohwer, liz.
