tain referred to is Lieutenant HOBBY

feat he said:
II am delighted to hear it. All his
friends here will be pleased. We have
known for some time that he was in
active service. and have been anxious
to hear about him. He is a fine fell

ment estimates as the need for war
purposes in an equal length of time.
This was told to the st. Louis
Chamber of Commerce by F. A. W.
Vesper, president of an automobile
concern OF this city.
Mr.. Vesper placed the total amount
of gasoline wasted in the United
States at 361 100000 gallons. The gov
eminent estimated needs for 1918 are
$50, 100000 gallons.
Mr. Vesper, who was one of a num-
Der OF automobile dealers who recent
ly discussed motor conservation plans
with members of the war economy
board at Washington, ridiculed the
idea that there is a shortage of gaso-
line. He said that dealers, garage
men and a great many automobile
owners are practicing the strictest
economy, and that the continuance OF
this practice will assure a plentiful
supply.

cOLORED SOLDIERS
APPROVE OF SPORT
AT ROCKFORD GIMP

Rockford, ILL.,, Jan. 12.-Colored
boys make good soldiers. This was
demonstrated in the CiviA war and at
the famous dash up San Juan hill: II
is being proven at Camp Grant, where
Brigadier General Malvern Hill Bar
mum, an enthusiast on athletics. has
charge of the One Hundred Eighty
third brigade.
General Barnum has boosted the
boxing game for the soldiers OF his
brigade and discovered the boys take
to the manly sport readily. Wnen
Sergeant Danny Goodman and assist
ants swooped down on the brigade un-
der orders from this officer and taught
the boys the rudiments OF the rstic
game they felt honored.
The latest innovation and one that
may set record is the plan OF Cen
eral Barnum for a cross country run
by virtually all the troops OF his
brigade. The big sprint has been set
for Jan. % somewhere near Camp
Grant"
The sight of several thousand sol
diers sprinting across country Tor the
honors Of the brigade will be worth
travelling miles to see. The sprint will
be started promptly at 2 p. m. on the
day set aside for it and every man
eligible must compete. The distance
will be about four miles. Any soldier
who fails to finish within seven min
utes of the winner loses one point
Those who fail to finish within eight
minutes of the leader will lose two
points, within nine minutes three
points, within 10 foAr points, and II
or more five points. Prizes will be
extra time for leave of absence from
the camp. This is considered about
the greatest incentive to win thai
could be given, say the officers.
i Three star runners have been bar
red from this competition owing tt
their acknowledged prowess in thu
sprints. They are: Sergeant Bluett
Corporal Poole and Private Allan
These soldiers were famed for theil
achievements on the cinder path il
interscholastic and college circles.
three classes of men will be barred
from competition-those under arrest
soldiers standing guard and those OF
special assignments. All others will
participate.

Visions for Distribution Of the
Receipts From Classics.

Cincinnati, Jan. 12.-More definite
arrangements for the distribution OF
money accruing from worlds series

been made by the national commits
sion, now in session here. The orig
inal plan of $4,000 for each player of
the winning club and $1,400 for each

but some puzzfing features concern
ing the other clubs sharing in the
spoils have been cleared up.
As In previous series the players
share shall consist Of go per cent OF
the receipts of the first four games,
after the commissions 10 per cent has
first been deducted. In the future the
players money will be set aside to
form fund for the contending clubs
and the teams finishing second. third
and fourth in each league. After the
worlds series teams have been paid
off at the rate Of $4,000 for each win
ming player and $1,400 for each loser,

cent to the team finishing third and
20 per cent to the. team finishing
fourth.
1t is provided, however, that the full
shares shall not be allotted to players
who have not been with the club fol-
at least eight weeks of the champion
ship campaign. Such players will be
compensated, but their shares will be
decided upon by the commission. Il
was further provided that money &C.
cruing from city series shall go into
the common pool when the teams en-
gagged are first division clubs. In sucl
series the contending clubs will di
vide up on the 6O-40 basis as hereto
fore, but only so per cent of theil
total. The other half will be turned
into the fund and figure in the divi
sion which includes the teams finish
ing second, third and fourth. In thu
event that one or both teams finisl
in the second division some specia
provisions will be made.

Mike Dundee, they showing the fact
Thursday night when Mike stepped in
the ring at the Empire. Cheers
greeted him and when it was an
nounced that the boy was going to ap-
pear Jan. "a with Johnny Richie
some more cheers broke out.
Dundee has started in his training
for his go with Richie and is plan
ming to show the Chicagoan how a
Rock Islander can handle his gloves
once more. He was given a draw
in the last fight with the Windy
City boy, but local bugs state that
Dundee won shade. Dundee is plan
ming on being in the best Of condition
Jan. "a and will not have mark on
him from his last night at Peoria. He
received a bad cut on the lower lip
! but will be 0. K. for the next bout.
| The bouts to be staged at the Owls
hall on Jan. "a by Matchmaker Schrei-
berl promise to draw capacity crowd.
Buck Sargent, the East Moliner, will
walk up against George Reed and is
expected to show how he really can
fight in a six-round prelim. Leo Hug
gins of Davenport will meet either
Tony Caponi or Kid Fisk. 1t is unde-
cided which of the boys will have a
| crack at Tony.
Local fans were bitterly disappoint-
ed at the Empire Thursday night on
account of the fact that they did not
have chance to really see Lee Nc
Mahon of Chicago in action. The Nc
Mahon Sargent go lasted only two
minutes and before the referee had
given the 10-count Mcmahon was out
of the ring and into his street clothes.
Another chance will be given the To-
cal boys to see the Chicagoan step.
He has posted forfeit to appear here

HIGH TEAM WINS
FIRST OF GAMES
Rock Island School Five Defeats Old
Time Players by Score Of
AZ to 81.
FORMER PLAYERS TOO SLOW
Battle Is One of Fastest Ever Wit.
messed Between Graduates and
Undergraduates.
BY KEITH NELSON.


The Rock Island high school opened
its basketball schedule last night by
win over the alumni team at the
Young Mems Christian association
gymnasium.
The game was one of the snappiest
that has ever been played between
the alumni and the high school and
ended with score OF AZ to 81.
The alumni team consisted OF Will
son and Morris Of last years team and
Taber, Culey and Barker Of years be-
fore. This team was one of the best
that the alumni men have ever put
on the floor.
For the high school there was no in
dividual star. Every man on tn. team
played his best. Every man on the
squad has to keep up his gait because
of the wealth OF material that Coach
Anderson has in subs. Taber and Sic
mon showed the shining lights in
scoring. Both boys had nine baskets
chalked up to their credit. Dopp was
oil over the floor. Playing forward
instead Of guard seems to go with the
little demon. Paul Anderson made his
first appearance in the local uniform
and also Frank Stapp did the same.
The second string men that Coach
Anderson had on the floor we're Ryd-
holm, McCarty, Erbstein and Greeves.
Coach Anderson played nearly all
second string men in the last half but
that did not prevent the high school
boys from scoring and they piled up
a larger score in the second half than
in the first.
The lineups we're as follows:
High School-Forwards. Ed Taber
and Dopp; center, Siemon; guards,
Stapp and Anderson.
Alumni-Forwards, AL Taber and
Wilson; center. Culley; guards, Nor
ris and Barker.
Substitutes-High school, Rydholm
for Stapp; McCarty for Anderson
Erbstein for Dopp and Greeves for
Siemon.
Summary-Field baskets: Taber. 9;
Siemon, 9; Dopp; AL Taber, 5; Bar
ker. 4; Morris, 2; Culley; Wilson
Free throws-Ed Taber, G; Dopp, /;
Culley, 5.
