Among these were packers. Street

ADVERTISING AS
AID IN RESTORING
NORMAL BUSINESS

An appeal to stimulate business
to its pre-war basis in newspaper
advertising has just been issued by
Roger w. Babson, director general
of the United States department of
labor information and education
service. 1t is the surest and
quickest way to overcome the gen
eral buying apathy which exists at
present, the appeal states.
I'VE would like to see more re-
tail advertising and more rational
advertising" it reads, land we be-
lieve the press of the country and
yourselves will appreciate the fos-
tering of such a movement"

DUNDEE KNOCKS
| OUT PEORIA LAD
Rocks to Sleep x. o. Emmett in
Sixth Round of Scheduled 10
Round Mil Last Night.
LOCAL wOP SHOWS CLASS
More Clever Than Ever and Re-
veals Healthy WallOp-Dans'
Fight Card Delights Fans.

It took Nike Dundee. Rock ISL
and's crack bantamweight flash,
to take the knock" out of knock
cut" Emmett's misnomer in the
sixth round OF what was to have
been a 1O-round battle at Dams
gymnasium last evening. A ter
rife one-two, right to the midsec-
ton and left to the jaw. followed
by a hail of stiff hooks to the face
and head spelled disaster for the
lad from Peoria.
| Emmett never had q chance. The
game little Italian took a singing
! lacing without a whimper, however.
and put up a great give and take
battle until he was punched into
helplessness.
Early in the initial stanza Mike
drew blood from Emmett's nose,
and the local wop saw to it that
the claret flowed freely nutil the
finish. Before the end came in the
sixth Dundee had scored two
knockdowns by clean punching,
and his exhibition was such that
the handful of fans at the ringside
howled their approval.
Well, to put it mildly, Dundee
looked good. He seemed more
clever and speedy than ever and
has developed a real wallop in
either mitt He seemed to have
energy to burn, for with the open
ing bell in the first round he was
after his man with both hands.
And he kept after him until the
end.
The boy from the one-time dis
tiIlery city did his best. He ap-
peared to pack a healthy wallop,
but although he connected solidly
on Mikes chin several times tho
little wop did not falter, apparently
bothered not in the least.
Last evenings main attraction
left the fans with but one regret,
/. e., that Dundee was not matched
here with some top-notcher of the
bantams for a final performance
before leaving for the east on a
two or three months tour. Mike
will get away big out moo" York
way if he maintains his present
form. That the wop will prove a
sensation in his invasion of the
big fight centers is the opinion
entertained among a host of tri-
city admirers. He and his manag-
er, Peanuts Schieberl. leave on
their trip the first of next week.
The fans intend giving Mike a
royal sendoff. The least we can
do is to wish him all the success
in the world and hope that he
knocks 'em all dead. In Dundee,
Rock Island has another chance
to leap into pugilistic prominence
as the home of a conner and posi-
bly, a champ Here's to you,
Mike, go after 'em,"
Battle Royal a Scream.
AS a headline attraction the
Dundee-Emmett bout more than
satisfied the bugs. Following
few three round settos, a battle
royal between four husky black
boys sent the spectators into roars
of laughter. AS an exhibition it
was a scream, offering much that
was highly ludicrous.
All in all, the fans were we'll
pleased with Dams fight program.
