JIMMY GILL BACK
FOR CAMPAIGN OF
FALL AND WINTER

Jimmy Gill is back in Rock Is
land and ready for the fall and
winter campaign in the ring. He
is looking better than ever, and
Peanuts Schieberl. his manager,
plans TO send him against the
tougher ones in these parts. He
issued a challenge to the winner
of the Beatty-Repine bout in Mo
line yesterday in behalf of his pro
tege. Beatty accepted after dispos-
ing Of Repine.
Negotiations are under way now
to have Gill appear in the semi
windup attraction of the next fight
program staged by the Moline
Fans association. This will prob
ably be the latter part of the
month.
Jimmy has been showing during
the summer up in Wisconsin near
his home in Lacrosse. Recently
he knocked out Jack Hennessey IN
the third round of a scheduled 10
round main go at Sparta, Wis. Hen
nessey carried a reputation as
fighter. but Jimmy grabbed off all
the laurelS.

MITCHELLS EDIT
THEIR OWN PAPER

Milwaukee. Wis. Sept. 2-"If
you don't loot your own horn no
one else will blow it for you" is
the motto of the Mitchell boxing
trio, Richie, Pinkey and Billy. The
Milwaukee boys are now editing
their own newspaper, and the
sporting editor of every wide
awake newspaper in the land is
on the mailing list The paper is
issued monthly. 1t chronicles the
happenings of the past month in
the Mitchell family and gives a
forecast of what they intend to do
Richie and Pink. both of whom
hammered typewriters when in
high school are the news getters.
Three months ago each of them
was apprenticed to newspaper
here. In their spare time. under
the eve of experienced news writ
ers, they learned how to fashion
story Billy also took a course in
the editing end. He is the editor
in-chief, while the two boxers

seven points, George Burns lost
i've, Ross Young gained one, Hal
Chase lost six, Benny Kauff lost II,
Arthur Fletcher lost IL, Heinie
Zimmerman gained three, Al Baird
lost eight, Mike Gonzales lost u
and Frank Snyder did not either
gain or lose. 1t will be seen at a
glance that only two of the men
counted upon to do a bit of hitting
behind the pitching which the club
is now receiving succeeded in bet
tering their average over the span
of a week-a week that meant
much TO them and their pennant
hopes and which led up to the all
important series with the Reds.
Young's slight gain marked
halt in a disastrous and unexplain
able slump into which the Texas
flyer tumbled some time ago and in
the course of which be slipped
from a position in the thick of the
fight for the leagues batting hon
ors right out of the 300 class.
Young is at a loss for an explana-
ton for his failure to hit at the
pace he set for himself at the start
of the season. However, he has
continued to plug away at the ball
and though he has lost a number Of
hits recently because Of excellent
plays on the part of opposing field
ers, he apparently is getting back
into his normal stride.
One of the few players to hold
his own with the willow, as the
figures indicate, is the Great Zim,
who has been moved up to the
cleanup position in the batting or
der. Heinie is not slamming the
ball as he did two years ago, when
he virtually batted the Giants to a
pennant, but he is doing pretty well
just now. Chase had risen from
obscurity to the 800 class in six
weeks drive, but slUmped for the
simple reason that an injury to his
right wrist, sustained in the re-
cent series in St. Louis, made it i'm
possible for him to properly grip
a bat There is no logical reason
for the failure of the other mem
bers of the club to hit in the man
ner expected of them.

FIGHT FANS APPROVE EFFORTS I
OF {. W. SCHIEBERL TO HAVE
Minute REST PART OF ROLl)ND
RESOLUTION.

The resolution for the revision
of the present boxing rules to in
clude the minute rest as a part Of
the following round, prepared by
f. w. SchieberI, and adopted unan-
imously by the fans at the Moline
ball park yesterday, reads as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the present boxing
rules have not in the past been un-
iformly interpreted by referees, and
whereas, if the present rules were
properly interpreted, the referees
ruling would noe meet the many
perpleXed situations of the manly
art of self defense:
Therefore. be it resolved that one
minute rest time be allowed be
tween the first gong, and the be
ginning Of boxing and that afore-
said first minute be connected with
and accounted for as a part of the
first round;
Be it also resolved that the min
ute rest after the close Of the first
round be linked with and accounted
for as a part of the second round
and that each and every minute
rest thereafter be linked with and
accounted for as a part of the
round following such rest period,
and,
Be it also resolved that copies of
this resolution be forwarded to the

Mickey Pierce considered it a
stall and pulled him to his feet.
Shean asked to have it called off.
When told to go ahead, he tapped
Martin another that ended the af-
fair. Referee Pierce didn't even
start the count.
The Mason-Wicker bout was a
give and take affair. Wicker start
ed out fresh and it looked like cur
tains for Mason. But the latter
had better staying powers and be-
fore the second round was over he
had Wicker completely dazed.
Wicker had a cut opened on his
nose from which the blood oozed
freely, while the claret spurted
from Mason's nostrils. Wicker
came up for the fourth and last
round because he didn't know what
he was doing. His defense was
gone and his face was a mass of
blood. A left jab sent him down
and the towel came floating in.

STORY OF GIANTS
FALL rs LEARNED
IN BAT AVERAGES

In the early days of the season
when the Giants" pennant chances
were brightest, it seemed as if the
power that lay in their bats might
carry McGraw's men to the cham
pionship in spite Of mediocre pitch
ing. When it came to the test
when the club had either 20 clinch
it's hold on first place or slip back
under the force of the Red attack
it was the Giants hitting and
not the pitching that failed to
hold up.
A glance at recent lists of the
National league batting averages
tells the story in compact and ire
futabIe form. According to these
figures, during the week ending
last Thursday, Larry Doyle lost

dressed lHe5 crowd at the Moline
Three Eye park yesterday after
noon just ~ sefore the start Of the
boxing prOI ram. He read a pre-
pared resG i4tion after explaining
his argunH Mt and it was adopted
unanimous r,
Briefly his contention is this
as the TT Ies now read the minute
rest per Cd has no connection with
any I'm nd and cannot be regarded
as pa TT thereof The word be
tween as inserted in the rules
proves, that the round of boxing
lasts , iuly three minutes. His
sugges lions for a revision call for
com lection between the rest per-
loas nd the rounds by allowing a
minF Sc to elapse between the first
gong and The start of the bout and
10 y suuire the boxers to remain in
the ring for a full minute after
me final gong. Thus the rest per-
100 would become a part of the fol-
lo' Eing round of fight, and in the
" FlaTd-Dempsey case, would have
e minated all disputes, inasmuch
the minute between the third
: nd fourth rounds would have been
: regarded as the fourth round, in
stead of the third.
The ball has been started roll

The Gumps at Court:

The gumps, a new sunny comic and

per Nathan and Isham Jones. Is man.
aged by Norton. Bunnell and Klint.
The author Of the play has been en-.
tircly successful IT is said, in writing
a delcctable story that keeps constantly
in touch with the high lights OF farci-
cal comedy. and has fitted the human
lied ]ccccntrics with roles that are YER
table gold mines Of laughter. and laugh
ter is worth much fine gold these days.
In theme. presentation m acting il
is alleged to be one OF the best Of re.
cent offerings. h plot concerns Tho
entaglemcnts in which Andy Gump finds
himself when circumstances seem TO
prove him guilty Of all sorts of indis-
cretions. and always over-ruled by the
stronger personality Of his wife Min"
who would be a Jolly" good fellow il
improvident econonly did not interfere.
The latter. a laughable example OF the
difficulties wives can unwittinGly max,
for themselves and those they care for.
James r.. Fraser, as Andy Gump. is
the leader in tho rcvels and n vigorous
