Gently, lust interview some Of the
holdouts Those fellows imagine the
game will be better than ever before,
and Judging from their salary de-
mands we will make so much money
we won't know what to do with it.
We want to be fair with the men,
but just now the game is nothing but
gamble We may make money and
again we may not. We know, how
ever, that we are prepared to stand a
big loss and believe the players should
work with US. No starvation wages
have been offered. We are paying
the men what they are worth, and il
they don't see fit to sign up it is their
affair. II the club owners stood to-
gether on the proposition and refused
to deal with the holdouts they would
quickly come to terms. They can make
money easier playing baseball than
in any other line of work, and they'll
sign up when their bluff is called"

BY l.. 4. JOHNSGH.a

Nothing definite mas been given as
TO who will referee the boat between
Lee Mcmahon Of Chicago and Earl
Henderson Of Rock Island al the En-
pire rink tomorrow night. Some stat
ed that Packey Mcfarland would be
secured but il will be impossible to
obtain him unless further develop
ments allow.
Babe Meanor, manager of the Rock
Island Athletic club, announced yes
terday that he would have a referee'
that both boys will agreess on. Hen
derson has completed a long grind of
hard training for tonights bout and
is right down in shape Lee Mcmahon
Of Chicago, Earl's opponent, arrived
in Rock Island this afternoon togeth-
er with his manager, Emil Thirty, and
is all ready for the go which will de-
eide who is the best of the two boys.
Lee Mcmahon tonight will have a
chance to make good with the trI-
city fans when he meets Henderson,
Several of the followers of the game
were strong for the Chicago pug until
they realized that he did not defeat
anyone in Rock Island who could be
classed as a man worthy of any great
name. Mcmahon works fast and clev-
er and he is sure to please and give
an interesting bout even if he does
not defeat Henderson
1t is the hopes Oh nearly all of the
local fans that Earl takes the bacon
in the bout as he really deserves the
honors. Henderson has been in the
ring for sometime and during that
period he has proved to the fans in
many cities that he can be considered
among the topnotchers in the welter-
weight division.
In the semi windup, Johnny Dona-
hue and Jack White will be the princi-
pals. Donahue is slated to take the
SIX rounder despite that White Is
slated as one Of the best. Donahue
has been working hard for the go and
II the dope is given right will take
each of the six rounds Donahue has
proved himself a popular young man
IN local fight circles during the last
year and his continual improvement
is bringing him closer to the top of
the list each day. Donahue and
White will make one of the best little
SIX round boxing exhibitions on. the
card tonight and unless Donahue wins
the honors, dope has it wrong
Caponi Ready.
Tony Caponi of Rock Island and
Knockout Kelly Of Des Moines are
slated to box six rounds for one of the
prelims. Tony has been known to
take abuse that no other six round
boxer has ever taken in Rock Island
and tonight he intends to reverse the
tactics and take Knockout Kelly's
name away and land the kayo himself
Tony in every case puts up fight that
is enjoyed by all
Nd Wulf of Rock Island and Battling

Contests viii Close Saturday Night
and FRS: Game t" Be Played
This Evening.

Galesburg, Feb. 2S.-Twenty prep
basketball teams will be tossed into
the swfrling eddy of the annual tour
ney of the Northwestern district OF
Illinois tonight at tine armory, and
one thousand excited fans will impa-
tiently look on for three days until
the final blast of a referees whistle
announces a victor-a champion OF
this section of the state.
Never, it is probable, was there a
greater possibility for fag-raking COM
petition, for tense moments for holly
fought games. Critics of basketball
in the state look to this district each
year to furnish one of the best OF the
handful of teams that later battle for
the state championship. This year
promises to bring out better team
+, than in years previous.
The tournament, beginning tonight,
| will proceed with three and four games
at a session-morning, afternoon and
! evening-until SATURDAY. night, when
the final game will take place.
| There is the same group of first
class teams from the major cities
Rock Island, Galesburg, Moline, Mon
mouth. Then, shade behind, but
only a shade, comes Macomb Univer-
sity high school, Cambridge, Abing-
don, Bushnell, East Moline. With just
an edge in the rear of these are Kirk
wood, Rushville, Geneseo and Dallas
City, and then on into the schools who
will enter merely for the excitement
of the big festival and with no deter
mination to carry away the shield.
Which of the Big Four" has the
best chance of grabbing the trophy!
From the maze of scores that the
passing season has yielded, almost
anything could be proven to show that
any one of the quartet would emerge
with the scalps of 20.
! Out of Is games, many played with
conference teams, the Galesburg high
school has dropped only three. Only
one was lost to one of the teams on
the tourney-Rock Island, This rec
ord cannot be beaten by any other
team in the running Among those
trimmed decisively by the Galesburg
school are Rock Island (once), Mo-
line (twice), Monmouth, Macomb Uni
versity High (twicel, Bushnell, Peo-
ria Central twice., Macomb High, Alb
ingdon twice. Galesburg was beaten
twice by Canton.
Rock Island, by having beaten
Galesburg, has trounced Moline by a
wide margin, smeared defeat on Dav'
export and beat Abingdon
Monmouth Appears Weakest.
Moline has been ground under the
heel of Monmouth by a small margin
however, was overcome by Davenport
and was beaten by Cambridge! She is
not counted on to overcome Rock Is
Hand, who she probably will meet in
