OH, WELL, ANYWAY

Davenporters and tri-city fight fans
who want to see fight in Davenport
or any fight staged by the Davenport
Athletic club must have a membership
card In order to buy a ticket. 1t is
said that 700 joined the club last Sat
urday/and that by the coming Sat
urday night that $500 will have joined.
The campaign is to last all of this
week and it is said that at the places
where the cards could be procured a
general rush prevailed. This proves
that the dry town will have boxing.
The campaign was only announced
during the last week and the Daven-
porters surely showed their desire to
have fights when they opened the cam
paign with general rush.
The fights that the Davenport club
intends to show will be of the best
grade and clean, according to club Of
ficia!s. Only members will be allowed
to obtain tickets and the affairs will
be put on SO as to make no trouble
with the city. 1t was announced Sat-
urday that Johnny Moves, who recent
ly boxed at Des Moines, will meet
Charley White of Chicago in the first
show that is put on. Noyes was COM
plimented on the way he fought at
the camp city because Of the clean
way that he scrapped.
II Davenport can put on fighters
like the above they cannot but help
get by in staging exhibitions.

PLAYERS TO Get
MILITARY DRILL
"Army Training viii BE Carried Out
in American Association Next
Season." Says Hickey.

Chicago, June Pituitary training
of baseball players will be carried out
in the American association next sea-
son, Thomas ]. Hickey, president of
the league. announced Saturday. Eff
forts probably will be made to have
the war department detail military in
structors with each of the eight clubs.
These details will be mapped out at
the schedule meeting of the assOcia-
ton. to be held iE Milwaukee next
month.
President Hickey said the associa-
ton faces every prospect of success
full season, despite the war. but at
the same time, will always be ready
and only too willing to be governed by
! the wishes OF the government and its
needs"
I'VE look forward to good veal"
he said. "The people have become so
accustomed to baseball l think they
would be lost without it. The 1917
season was good, considering all con-
ditions. Naturally. after war was de-
clared, the excitement following, occa-
stoned by the efforts towards enlist
ments, diverted the attention of the
people from their regular channels,
causing them temporarily to forget
amusements and recreation.
People must have some kind OF
outdoor amusement. Some play golf,
some tennis, others motor. But the
masses enjoy baseball. It is truly the
American game. The federal admin
istration has approved the game. We
drilled our players in military tactics
last season and will do it again next
season"
As an argument that people want
baseball as wartime sport Hickey
referred to the situation in Toronto
Canada, which last season won the In
iternational league pennant.
Toronto had the best year in its
history" he said, lin face of the fact
that Canada has been deeply in the
war for more than three years and
1.-THE fact that 10 per cent of Toronto's
population is in the military service
This shows plainly that the people
want recreation-and that baseball is
the kind they like"
Talks of Freak Pitching.
Legislation barring the spit ball anG
other freak deliveries was step to-
ward improving the game. President
Hickey believes.
1.-The ball was made to use as it is
not to be doctored, and we are going
to prevent its being changed in an!
way" he said. This will increase
batting, and, as the people like lots O
free hitting. it undoubtedly will adj
interest to the game"
With the signing of Edward F
(Ned) Egan as pilot OF the Milwaukee,
club, the managerial roster Of the as
sociation is complete, with the excep
ton of Indianapolis. James c. McGill
owner of the club, has several leader
under consideration to succeed Jacl
Hendricks. who is to manage the st
; Louis Nationals.
