ISLANDERS BEAT
MOLINE IN MEET
(BY BOB OLMSTED).

Rock Island proved victorious by
two points in the dual track and field
meet held at the Exposition park yes
terday afternoon at O'Clock, the final
score being 46 to A. Captain
Thomas of the local squad was the in
dividual point winner, taking II
points for the crimson and gold and
just behind him were kerns of Moline
with Is points and Banks of the same
city, with IA The second best point
winner for Rock Island was Bassett
the colored star, who pulled down IL
points.
1t must be remembered, however,
that Rock Island could have taken 27
more points forfeit because Moline
was not in a position to compete in the
hurdles and the pole vault 1t was
Coach Anderson's decision not to take
advantage of this fact because he
thought that the meet could be made
a better one if the two cities competed
for the victory il all events.
The Plow City boys must be given
credit for coming out on short notice
and giving the Islanders such a tough
tussle over the championship. They
were forced to build their team with
almost nothing as a start and were
able TO make the outcome so close as
to hinge on the last event
For the Islanders, Captain Thomas
deserves no end of credit He was
forced to take part in almost every
event in the meet and did so with
great credit to himself. He was easily
the winner in the half mile but, when
he took part in the mile run, the clos
ing event, he was considerably weak
ened by his exertions and was com
PEELED to drop back to second place
Bassett also deserves praise for win
ming the so yard and taking second in
the 100 and 200.

one Dannie Miller, resident Of Mt Nor.
ris, Ill. Dannie hurled the Islander.
to a victory over Hughes f1ssy Plov
boys yesterday afternoon at the No
line lot in II innings of alright pas-
timing, the final count being 2 to /
incidentally it was the first victory D,
the year for the Listerites and each
member of the team shared In the
glory The weather was ideal and
both teams put up real baseball, but
one error resulting throughout.
Miller pitched remarkable game.
In the overtime fuss he allowed nine
hits, but three of them were on the
scratchy order and one shouldn't have
happened. His control was superb,
only one Moline batter walking, and
his curves were good to look at. The
game also proved to Manager Hughes
that he had one likely looking pitcher
in his boy Anderson. For a youngster
Anderson pitched a heady game and
although he was inclined to be BIT
wild at times, issuing six walks, he
allowed but seven hits, well scattered
throughout the II innings.
Both teams went hitless and runless
in the first two innings In the third
frame Anderson surprised everyone,
even himself, by poking a triple past
Clayton after two men were down.
F'alk struck out in the pinch Cutey
Fritz Erlewein led off with a single in
the fourth, but the next three men
were retired in quick order.
Hughes In Hero Role.
In the fifth Manager Hughes damned
three-bagger between Biltz and
Wolfe. Buck Moore responded with a
single, counting the boss. The next
three hitters flied out. In the last half
of this inning Vance singled after two
were down, but Miller flied out to Pet
tigrew. In the sixth Pettigrew sin
gled after two were out, but he was
run down between bases.
The Islanders knotted the count in
the seventh. Zeine Clayton led of
with a single, and Stocker scratched a
hit through the inield. Lister sacri-
| feed the runners to second and third.
| Clayton counted moment later on
Sargent's long sacrifice fly to Davis
Vance walked but Miller whitfield, end
ing the inning.
| Moline threw scare into the Is
landers in the seventh. Yank Davis
started with single and Hughes fol-
lowed with his second hit. Davis over
ran third on the play and was tagged
out Biltz tripled in the eighth with
two down. Anderson purposely pass
ed Clayton and Stocker grounded out
Vance Drives in Winning Run.
In the fateful eleventh inning
Stocker drew four wide ones for a
starter and cantered to first. Lister
fouled out, but Sargent responded
nicely in the pinch with single,
Stocker going to third. He scored on
Vance's sacrifice fly to Davis. White
and Pettigrew scratched hits in the
last half of the inning but Davis flied
out and Hughes went out on an infield
roller. The score:

AGREE ON FREEDOM
FOR THE FILIPINOS
IN FOUR YEARS
The President and Congressional Lead
ers Frame the Meas

Washington, Jan. 25. Independence
for the Philippines within four years has
been agreed upon between the president
and Congress leaders. An amendment by
Senator Clarke of Arkansas introduced
yesterday will be the basis of the legis-
lation.
When the president discovered the
other day that the Clarke amendment
proposing independence for the Philip
pines within two years would pass, Mr..
Wilson, according to information obtained
yesterday, called on Senator Clarke at
his hotel. Together they went over the
situation. The president insisted that
he could not bring about the agreements
with foreign powers necessary to neu-
tralize the new government in two years.
After the conference all agreement was
reached to extend the time to four years
by modification Of the Clarke amend
ment. With that understanding, the
president is expected to give his approx
al and support and as an administration
measure it is expected to pass.
