LOCALS IN SHAPE
FOR ALED0 CLASH
Curtain Oh 19l5-16 Basketball Season
to Be Rung Down Mt High School
Gymnasium Tonight.
(BY BOB 0LMSTED.l

The windup of the basketball sea-
son will come tonight for the Rock
Island high school, when the home
boys meet the fast quintet from Aledo
at o'clock on the floor of the high
school gymnasium. AS it will be the
last chance to see the Rock Island
style OF play for 1916, it is expected
that the fans will turn out in force
and see once more the team work and
basket shooting that has made this
one so successful a season for the
crimson and gold
The feature of the game tonight is
expected to be the highly developed
skill of the Rock Island players, who
are at present in their best shape since
the opening Of the season. Tuesday
night in practice they established their
record, a total of Al points in IS min
utes. The scoring machine is at its
best and the guards are also working
wonderfully we'll.
The Aledo squad is fast little team
and is expected to put up stiff game
this evening. It's record for this year
has been a fairly good one, in spite of
the fact that it was defeated in its
first game at the district tournament
by the five from Altoona. This defeat,
however, was not a large one and il
is rumored that the Mercer county
boys have greatly improved their style
of play since then. In the last game
with Rock Island the score was SO to
q in favor of the latter and as fas,
game as that one is anticipated to-
night.
The usual Rock Island lineup will
start the game tonight, but it Is
thought that there will be many sub
stututes in order to give all the boys
final workout. The two squads are
as follows:
Rock lsland-Al Taber, IF; Demp-
sey, If; Thomas, c; Ackley. rg; Helm.
beck, L.
Aledo-Henderson, RI; Lutrell, II!

MOLINE WINS FIRST
BATTLE IN DECATUR

The Moline high school basketball
team won its opening game at Decat-
ur last night from Canton, the final
score being "a to 80. As the score in
dlcates, the contest was closely
fought. Moline led at the end of the
first half, IS to 8, but by sensational
squirt the Canton boys passed the Mo-
liners and led up to the final minute of
play, when Weiderquist tossed a foul.
In hive minutes of extra playing Can
ton committed another foul and Weidy
again came to the front, this time
with the winning basket. In the other
games last night Joliet beat Granite
City, 43 to %. and Duquoin downed
Shelbyville, 40 to 25. The Moline bows

they will tackle East Aurora in tn }

FRED MERKLE TO
|. PLAY WITH HOSE
Deal Under Way With McGraw, Who
is Attempting to Snare Hal
Chase for the Giants.

Chicago, March Hollow would
Fred Merkle, now Giant, look to you
in White Sox uniform, playing first
base? Poor, Ell?
Such happening is not improbable
if the underground reports, leaking
out of an authoritative source, come
true. 1t all depends on Hal Chase,
jumping first sack guardian, who quit
Comiskey via the life insurance route
to play with the Feds At present he
is under contract to Harry Sinclair,
who is also anxious to get rid of him.
There is a deal on the fire now
whereby Prince Hal will become a
member of McGraw's Giants and it is
likely to go through, for Chase is
supposed to be on his way east to con-
fer with Owner Hampstead of the New
York club regarding contract.
This leads on to Merkle's coming
to the Six. While Rowland is pretty
well satisfied with the makeup Of
the stock yard clan at the presen,
time, he would not be averse to pick
ing up another star of such brilliance
| as Merkle, who, it appears, is dissat
| isfied with his New York berth He
can play the outfield in case Fournier
John Collins or Ness come through
in expected style, whereas, if they
| fall down. Merkle can go in at hi:
favorite position.
1t is a we'll known fact that Chase
will never be permitted to don a White
! SoX uniform, in view of his tactic!
during the Fed scrape. Commy wishe:
him well, but does not want him OF
his pay roll but he would not kick OF
getting Merkle, if such deal coulC
be arranged.
The hitch lies in the inability o
McGraw to get him out of the Nationa
league for Jim Callahan of the Pirates
who is also strong for the hero of tn,
most famous blunder in baseball H,
would fit in nicely on the Pittsburgh
club, although pressure might b.
brought to bear on the T. L. owner
to pass on Merkle for the prestige tn
league would get in having a star lik
! Chase in their midst. Also becaus
New York desires it.

TEX LOOKING FOR
BIG MONEY HOUSE
Richard Gives S me Advance Dope On
Probable Receipts in Willard
and Moran Bout.

New York, March 10.-TeX Richard,
promoter of the WillardMoran bout,
announced that the box office at Mad
ison Square garden had already taken
in about $4,000 in cash for tickets
for the big bout of March 25. He al
so declared that the management had
more than $4,000 worth of orders
for boxes which will be taken up be-
fore the bout and 100000 worth of
seats still remained to be sold.
While Richard has consented to fol-
low the dictates of the boxing COM
mission concerning the financial de-
tails of the bout, nevertheless he does
not think the commission has a right
to hold up the money that he has con-
tracted to give the boxers. He has
agreed TO give them the purse for d
boxing exhibition, and when they box
the 10 rounds they will have fulfilled
their part Of the contract. He believes
that if the commission should decide
that the bout was not satisfactory and
tried to withhold the purse the boxers
! would sue him for the amount he had
contracted to give them.
Fred Wenck, chairman of the state
athletic commission, sent a prompt
and pointed answer to Senator John
J. Dunnigan yesterday. Senator Dun
nigan has charged that many of the
licenses issued by the commission are
not legal and that the commission was
not inclined to be courteous when he
sought information about its affairs.
Chairman Wenck in his letter to
the senator stated that all the files of
the commission, the letter files, pigeon
holes and every drawer in every desk
in the Office were open for inspection,
and while it would be impractical to
move them all up to Albany, the SEN
ator was at liberty to come to the
office and look over any and all of the
records.
