expects to have some men who will
be really first class, and every one
of the 10 is promising youngster.
Opening the training season on
April 5 and staging a practice game
April is one of surprises the mys-
terry manager proposes to spring.
Never before has any association
team been game to tackle a major
league organization so early in the
season. Other managers wagglo
their heads and say that such a
stunt is impossible, but Rowland
says that he has always tried the
impossible and most of the time has
been able to get away with it.
The story of a change of the
training grounds from Evansville tC
Rock Island is one of the things
that don't happen. The real story
of this report is that Rock Island
and Davenport were both too slow
to land the Brewers and while they

This it was found was imprac-

range to entertain the Brewers.
Time went on and nothing hap

with Evansville.

DUNDEE MASTER
VIII St Paul Flash Prove Superior
to Rock Island WOp Thursday
Evening, Fans Ask.

Mike Dundee, with his manager
and promoter, Peanuts Schieberl
arrived in town this morning from
Chicago. Ertle with Mike Collins
will blow in Wednesday morning.
Both bantams are in the pink oil
condition. Dundee just tips the
beam at 1171s, according to Schie-
berl, just half a pound under
weight. Collins wires that the
"Kewpie" is down to- III pounds
and is IN the best shape OF his ca
reer. Both of the little fellows
will make the weight easily, it is
said, and stepping on the scales
Thursday afternoon at O'Clock
should prove but a mere formali-
ty. However, crowd Of the cur
ious is expected to watch while the
much disputed weight question OF
Dundee is settled once for all.
The 'Kewpie," although falling
before several during the last two
years due to dissipation and idle
ness, has recuperated wonderfully.
Always packing a terrific punch,
Collins wires that the little fellow

Mike thinks so much Of Ertle in
his present boxing stride that he
has matched him against Champion
Pete Herman in a 15-round title
bout Meanwhile Johnny is over
looking nothing in preparation for
his clash Thursday evening with
Dundee. Yesterday he stepped
eight fast rounds with Solly Burns,
Johnny Noye, and his brother,
Mike Ertle. Johnny is in dead
earnest and intends slipping the
kayo to Dundee" Collins said.
There is considerable discussion
among the fans relative to the
merits of Schieberrs preliminary
card. especially the semi windup.
In the opinion of the writer the
Bum" Sells-Tommy White 20
should prove as good, if not bet
ter, than several semi-windups
that have been offered tri-city box
ing patrons recently. These two

boys proved the salvation OF Babe
Meanor's last show at the Empire
rink, when two supposedly high
class boys in the windup proved a
rank fizZle. The fans voted the
SeIls-White go the best battle on
the card. An evident grudge ex-
istant between the two men should
result in a replica of the Kid Fer
die-Charlie Rogers clash some
time ago, conceded by the bugs as
the best Suggest ever staged here.
But it's the main go that the
fans are agog with anticipation
over. Ertle is matched with Pete
Herman for the championship. If
Dundee can slip the dream punch
on the "Kewpie," he will grab off
the title tilt. Can the Rock Island
wop knock Ertle out? Has he de-
veloped a punch? Has he perfect
ed a successful mode of both at
tack and defense in infighting?
These things will be proven defin-
itely Thursday evening, and upon
their answer will hinge the wop's
chances of climbing the topmost
rung of the bantam ladder. If
Dundee can send Ertle to the land
of Nod, it seems reasonable to
think he can repeat with Herman.
Consensus of opinion among the
fans is that the battle will go the
scheduled length of rounds, how
ever Whether or no, it should
prove a humdinger from the stand
point OF clean, snappy action.

Milwaukee, Wis, April Mil
waukee will be the mystery OF the
American association when the
baseball race opens at Louisville,
April %. Owners Rowland and
Brennan are keeping the silence of
the grave on their plans for the
coming season, and only laugh
when asked what will be the status
of the team when the season opens.
1t is only two weeks before the
players are to report at Evansville,
and less is known about the make
up of the team which will repre-
sent Milwaukee than has ever be-
fore been the case in any associa-
ton city. And so it is that this is
to be the mystery team with a mys-
terry manager at the helm.
We'll have some surprises for
them all, said Pants" Rowland,
when asked what he had up his
sleeve. Wen surprise them, all
right, but I'm promising Milwaukee
no pennant. All / am going to
say now is that the Milwaukee team
proposes to make them all sit up
duu Idh6 nOLISS, anu We dIS uOt
going to tip our hand before the
season opens.''
And that is all the manager of
the mystery team will say about
his aggregation. 1t is known that
there are so far no players who are
refusing to sign up with the new
management. Not a single hold-up
has lifted his voice to tell how he
won't play, and 10 players have
been enrolled as new members OF

Dempsey, it is known. is unde-

from Winnipeg, of the Western

reorganized Three Eye association.
Due to a full quota of players,
Berger would not be able to use
Dempsey on either the initial sack
