Turkey has no future-she de-

from none other than Bob Manogoff,

the Isis theatre Thursday night.

He spoke in this connection because

STATEWIDE INTEREST.

Newspaper reports from all parts of
the state indicate widespread interest
in the Idaho proposal.
In view of the fact the boxing con-
test will be strictly supervised by the
state commission, no objection has
arisen to it.
The commercial advantages are
pointed out in all these publications.
A committee will go to New York
soon to confer with the promoters of
the contest. The Los Angeles Times
sporting writer, mentioning the en-
terprise of this state, declared the
other day Idaho had the best chance
of getting the contest and sent the
money for a number of reserved seats.

We agree with the Brooklyn boss about

EXCURSIONS TO BOISE.

I'VE have assurances already of a

Contrary TO hunting regulations
of last year and previous seasons,
wild ducks may not be killed be-
fore Sept. 16 this year in Illinois.
They always were in open season
Sept. l before. but the new licenses
have extended the opening date.
The same is true Of rabbits. These
could be killed starting Sept
last fall. but this autumn their sea

The middle Of this month like
wise will bring the opening of the
season for snipes, ployers, geese,
brants and coots The first date
on which they may be killed is
Sept. Is.
To date, BOB licenses have been
sold by the three agencies in Rock
Island. The Koch gunsmith estab-
lishment has disposed OF 63 and
the Fiebig locksmith shop has sold
210. In addition the city clerk dis
posed of 80. This is a fairly rapid
sale, considering the fact that IL
censes were not obtainable locally
until Aug. 9. Fiebig reports his
biggest day as last Saturday, just
before the opening Of the dove sea-
son, when he sold 81 licenses.

BAN APPEARS IN
COURT TO ANSWER
YANKEE CHARGES

New York, Sept. 4.-The legal
battle over the control of the
American league. which has been
postponed several times in the
past few weeks, began today with
Byron B. Johnson, president Of the
league, appearing before George J.
Gillespie, referee, for a hearing
preliminary TO the arguments to-
morrow as TO why a temporary in
junction, secured by the New York
American league club against
Johnson's interference with ac-
Invites of Pitcher Carl Mays,
should not be made permanent.
1t was expected that President
Johnson would be examined re-
garding his alleged financial inter
ests in the Cleveland club; his al
legged animosity toward President
Harry Fl. Frazee Of the Boston
American league club, and his al
legged partisan action in disciplin-
ing Carl Mays.

CALL OFF TRACK
MEET AT MOLINE

It was announced from the head
quarters of the Moline Fans assO-
citation this morning that the track
and field meet scheduled to Satur-
day and Sunday has been called
off. The cancellation is necessary
because Of the illness of Don W.
Hutchinson, business manager, who
is confined to the Moline city hos
pital with pneumonia. Hutch"
was taken i'll last Saturday and is
now well on the road to recovery.
Entries for the event had been
received in large numbers and it
was predicted that the meet would
be one of the biggest things in an
athletic way ever staged in the
tri-cities The association regrets
to disappoint the large number of
athletes who have been training
hard for the contests.
Because of the lateness Of the
season no effort will be made to
stage the meet at a later date. 1t
is considered likely, however, that
next summer it can be held in an
even more pretentious manner than
it had been planned.

Officers OF L. ).

Washington. D. C., Sept f.
Holding an international athletic
meet without protests and with
out luxuries was the feat accom-
plished by the officers of the United
States army in their supervision of
the inter-aIlied games. When the
games were first conceived it was
as a soldier meet. When the final
plans were drawn, military men
outlined the details. Thus it was
that for the first time in recent
athletic annals, the competing ath
leteS camped as an army and lived
under army conditions outside the
walls of Pershing's stadium. Thus
it was that the details of arrange
ments were so thorough that one
mild protest, withdrawn before il
was completed, was all that dis
turbed the even tenor of the
games. Men, interested in ath-
Ietics and close to the center of the
games in the Stadium, believe that
not the least of the friendships of
the recent days, are those formed
in this most remarkable meet of
the centuries.
