PROGRESS BEING
MADE On HARB0R
| United States Engineers Pushing Work
Along Mississippi Around City
0f Rock Island.
1REICHLER 10 DRAW UP PLANS
WIN Formulate Design for Sea Wall
and River Front Block May
Be Built Each Year.

Good progress Is being made by the
United States engineers in their sur
yey Of the Rock Island river front
where they are occupied In the task
of establishing the harbor line, from
Twenty-fourth street west and south
along the river to the city limits.
The city officials are suxiously
awaiting the completion of this work
by the government men and are eager
t. formulate plans for going ahead
with the work Of laying out the pro-
iected Goa wall and river front, so
much needed here for the handling Of
the river traffic,
Wallace Treichler. city engineer, is
keeping in close touch with the work
Of the government surveyors in fixing
the harbor line and he has been in
structed to draw up plans, after the
United States engineers have COM
pleted their work, for wall and river
front After City Engineer Treichler,
who has had wide supervision of pro-
jects such as the one proposed for
Rock Island, has completed his plans,
they will be presented to the city com
mission and the design which is con
sidered best suited will be then Sc
lected When this has been done the
actual work of going ahead with the
construction of the wall and water
front will be taken up.
Build Block Yearly!
While it is not definitely known how
the city will handle the financial end
OF tile erection Of the proposed river
front, it is the belief of Commissioner
NJ. T. Rudgren that it possibly will be
taken care of by yearly appropria-
ton for that purpose from the city
| funds. In this way. it was pointed out
! by Commissioner Rudgren, the city
will handle the project with very little
| trouble as the expense could be cur.
I tanned so that the yearly appropria
tion for that purpose would cover it
That is, as the commissioner ex
planned, If the city found that 1t coult
spare only a certain sum for the pro
| ject it could let the contract 10 hav,
| just as much work done as the appro
priation would pay for.
! BY working this progrom it is be
lieved that the city could perhaps
build a block or maybe more Of tn,
| sea wall each year, letting q new con
tract each time for the work to be dom
every year. In Davenport the cost o
its water front was taken care Of b,
a bond issue, but that is not regarde,
fayorably by the members Of the Rocl
Island commission.
Appreciate Cooperation.
I Appreciation was expressed by tn
commissioners today over the fact tina
the Rock Islaad Chamber Of Com
! merce had taken action TO support an
aid the city commission in pushing tn
river front project

Jeff Smith Will Battle
Kid Shelter at Ardmore

Joe Freeman, who has proven one
of the most successful boxing pro-
moters who has ever had charge
of the shows at the Maryland
Athletic and Social Club, of Ard
more, Nd. has thrown his hat back
into the ring and claims that he will
educate the local boxing to the
roped game.
Freeman closed out simetime ago
with the owners of the Maryland
Club, and Is now in complete charge.
AS an opening attraction at the
Arena he has signed up Jeff Smith,
the Bayonne, N. j., middle weight, to
meet Kid Shelter, of Frederick, Nd,
in a fifteen-round battle to be held
on the night Of Thursday, December
20.
Freeman Is a great booster OF the
ring game, and his one hig hobby
has always been the manly art OF
self-defense. As a matchmaker at
the Maryland Club, Freemen furnish
ed local fandom many good attrac-
tons, not one Of them being counted
among the many fizzles that are re-
corded on the list that mas been held
at the Maryland Club. Joe believes
that by giving the publi0real honest
to-goodness battles that they will
soon turn out for twin-monthly bouts,
and it is with this object In view that
he has again taken hold of the club.
Before obtaining the club he in
sisted that every one concerned must
get out and II anything went wrong
In the style of the fights, or any hint
Of raw deals were pulled that the
public could hold him and him alone
responsible. Accordingly he is now

0UINET IS LIKELY
TO BE REINSTATED
U. S. c. A. May Show Patriotism
by Lifting Ban on Former Champ.

New York. Dec. 5.-Repo-t has II
that Francis OTimet. tHr v.Fr '- ---l
golfer. may shortly be reinstated to
full amateur standing IA
States Golf Association. Now that
the former national amateur and
open champion is serving his country,
there is a feeling that the parent or
ganization could, without loss Of pres
tige or dignity, restore Ouimet's origi-
nal status. II would. in the opinion OF
many, be a fitting recognition for de-
voticn 10 his country.
The report also has il that the asso-
citation is likely TO receive an applica-
ton for reinstatement from the
Woodland golfer. There's para
graph in Section OF the bylaws
which reads:
ANY person who becomes ineligible
by reason Of this bylaw may be rein
stated by giving 10 the executive COM
mittee Of this association satisfactory
evidence Of meriting such reinstate-
ment"
The committee. IL is understood, has
ever heen and still feels, most kindly
disposed toward Ouimet. II is also a
thoroughly patriotic body as is shown
by its policy Of frowning on cham
pionship tournaments during the past
season.
y is said Ouimet in making his ap-

line a future policy tnat will enable

.KAUFF and ROBBY
PASSED UP IN DRAFT
Star Out6elders Of the Giants Will
Be Back in Game Next Season.

New York. Dec. 5-Benny Kauff will
be in centerfieId for the Giants next
season. and Dave Robertson in right,
according to reports from their home
towns where they were examined for
the draft.
Kauff was exempted on account of
a slight deformity. one Of his arms
being shorter than the other Benny
explained that it would make no diff
ference in his ability to shoulder a
rifle or to shoot it. and told his ex-
aminers that he considered himself as
did others a good shot. He brought
home as big bags of game when out
hunting as did any OF his companions,
and frequently bigger ones.
His examiners said he was physi-
cally perfect otherwise than the de-
formity, but that they could not ac-
cept him. according TO their instruc-
tions. the army requirements being
very strict in that regard. Benny
pleaded with members of the board
to allow him to pass so that the regu-
lar army doctors could examine and
possibly put him through, but they
would not grant his appeal. So the
little centerhelder cannot join the
colors. much TO his disappointment
The reason for Dave Iobertson' :
exemption is said 10 be on account Of
fracture OF a thigh that he sUs-
tanned while laying in a football
game on the eleven of the North
Carolina Agricultural COileGe. 1t was
known that he received a broken col
lar bone and injured his left shoulder
while playing the Eridiron game, hut
it is possible that his thigh bone Was
broken at the time he accidentally
shot himself. about two years auo.
and could not join the Giants at
Marlin. Texas. being laid up in i hos
pital in Norfolk. Va.
