A very regrettable affair was the
alteration arising between C. L. Lamb
and Charles Sauer, competing lumber
men, Saturday afternoon, when Mr..
Sauer became quite seriously injured
by blow over the head with a heavy
stick. He has since been confined to
his bed and for several days his condi-
tion was considered quite serious. Mr..
Lamb, too, has been suffering with a
lame back and nervous prostration.
The trouble arose over the removal
of some of Mr.. Saur's effects from
Mr.. Lambs Office and was the culmi-
nation of hard feeling that had been
engendered for some time. Both men
were arrested, locked up, but soon let
20 on their own recognizance.

es Second Run of Department
as Smoke Appears.

Gas masks recently purchased
by the Rock Island fire department
were given their first service yes
terday afternoon when a fire broke
out at the residence of James A.
Wed, 1047 Twlfth street, and it was
found necessary for firemen to en-
ter the fame and smoke filled attic
OF the home where no means of
ventilation was possible.
The flames at the Weed home
were first noticed by neighbors at
2 O'Clock in the afternoon. Half
of the roof was in flames when the
department arrived on the scene.
Mr.. Weed at IL in the morning no.
ticed that the chimney of his house
was burning out, but thought moth
ing of it. 1t is thought that sparks
fell onto the roof and caused the
fire.
The fire department was highly
praised by Mr.. Weed today for the
efficient way in which it handled
the fire. 1t was just seven min
utes from the time that the alarm
was first given until the firemen
had chemicals and hose laid on the
roof ready to tackle the blaze. No
water was used, the firemen sue
ceeding in extinguishing the flames

FANS HAVE EYES
FIXED ON SCRAP

Lightweights have always been
favorites with tri-city ring fans and
judging from the amount of inter
6;sst that the fans are showing the
Waugh mill, scheduled for
the night of April 10, this battle Of
lightweights will prove no excep-
ton to the rule.
Thorp's recent victories over the
best men in the lightweight diyi-
sion have made him one of the big
gest drawing cards in the business
and practically the only thing that
is worrying Promoter Meanor at
the present time is space.
The fans packed the Empire last
Thursday night to overflow and
there is every reason to believe that
the Thorpe-Waugh attraction will
he bigger drawing card than last
thursdays card.
Meanor is making arrangements
at the present time to handle big

ers in the north end of the hall and
If plans turn out right he'll be able

new THREE-EYE
LEAGUE FORMED
Six Clubs to Make Up Circuit in
Illinois and Indiana and
Tearney is President

Chicago. Ill. March 24.-Forma-
ton of a six-club league embracing
Indiana and Illinois cities was &C
complished at a meeting of inter
ested magnates here yesterday. The
circuit will have much of the flavor
of the old ''Three-I" league in that
the new organization will bear the
same name and will be made up of
several cities once holding fran
chises in the defunct minor.
The cities awarded franchises
were Evansville, Ind; Terre
Haute, Ind; Moline. Ill; Rockford,
ILL.,; Bloomington, Ill, and
Peoria, Ill.
Albert r. Tearney, for nine years
president of the old Three l, was
elected chief of the newly formed
league. 1t was principally
through Tearney's efforts that the
league came into being and the rep
resentatfves attending deemed it
fitting to reward his activity.
Benjamin Bose, mayor of Evans
vile, Ind, which will have a fran
chise in the circuit, was elected vice
president. Mayor Bose, along with
j. j. Cieary, postmaster of Terre
Haute, Ind, was the most enthus-
iastic representative in attendance.
He declared Indiana was keen for
a resumption of minor league base
ball and Cleary expressed similar
sentiments.
There is a possibility that two
more clubs will be added to the
league before the schedule is drawn
up. Word was received at the meet
ing from both Fort Wayne, and
Richmond, Ind, that both cities
were interested in the project, 50
Tearney will visit each place soon
to discuss the proposition with in
terested parties.
A salary limit of $4,000 for each
club, exclusive of the managers
stipend, was decided upon. The
player limit was set at 13. Each
club agreed to post $4,000 forfeit
money guaranteeing to complete
the season. This money will be put
up at the next meeting to be held
here April 6.
AT the coming meeting the sched-
ule will be passed upon provided
there are no additions to the
league. If only six clubs are in
volved 120-game schedule will be
played with the opening late in
April and the closing on Labor day.
If two clubs are added a I26-game
schedule will be drawn up.
Tearney appointed the following
to submit drafts of schedules. J. C.
Ryan, Peoria; Rufus Gilbert, Terre
HaQte, and Frank Landers, Rock
ford.
The league will not play Monday
ball. Instead double-headers will
be staged on Saturdays. A general
admission price of 35 cents, includ-
ing war tax, was agreed upon. The
following attended:
]. j. Cleary. Terre Haute, Ind;
Rufus Gilbert, Terre Haute, Ind:
J. W. Hackett. Bloomington, Ill;
Lee Blackman, Moline, ILL.,; Thomas
Reber, Rockford, ILL.,; J. c. Ryan.

age is estimated at between $500
and $500. Half Of the roof and cell
ings of the rooms on the second
floor were ruined.
Roast Causes Run.
What the firemen thought was
going to be one of the largest fires
encountered this year turned out
to be only a burnt pot roast on the
kitchen range in the house at 1919
Second avenue at 3:15 yesterday
afternoon. Neighbors thought that
the place was on fire, but the oc-
cupants had carelessly left a roast
on the stove and had left, forget
ting it. The kitchen and first floor
of the place were filled with smoke
and the roast was no more.

but it does not seem possible that
a man can juggle and balance
chiffoniers, sideboards and a par
lor lounge on his chin and not be
fully awake, but that's not all He
piles up many chairs and then
balances them on the same chin
and in much the same way as one
might balance a piece of stray
spaghetti. His partner sings some
songs and puts over a pickannlny
number that was a credit. Frank
Lucas in the garb of a vagrant OF
foreign shores came next with his
piano accordion and did all the
advance notices said he would. He
put a punch into the show and ii
stayed there all the time he was
on. His stuff ranges from the
classics to ragtime and he played
more than usual last night so in
sistent was the demand for more.
The big treat in the way of har-
mony singing was the hit put over
by the Singing Three. 1t is high
class Offering indeed and the ef-
forts of the comedian must not go
unsung for he with quiet methods
and absolutely genuine fun got his
share of the evenings laughter.
Ford's Weekly showed the trip

thing indeed. Pathe News showed
events all over the world and the
Pearl White serial, The Lightning
Raider" was so full OF things
thrilling that one wonders where
the fearless Pearl gets all her
youth to stand up under the strain.
With due compliments to the house
orchestra for excellent music the
whole show was good and worth
seeing.

CHICAGO MAT
STAR is READY
Miriam Plestina Arrives in Daven-
port Eager for His Bout With
Westergaarde.

Miriam Plestina, wrestler, ar
rived in Davenport at 8 O'Clock
last night for his finish match
with Jess Westergaarde at the
Burtis tonight Both PIestina and
the giant Iowan worked out at
gymnasiums today.
Never in the history of the
wrestling game have local fans
been aroused to such a pitch of en-
thusiasm and from all indications
the Burtis will be packed to the
doors when the two giants answer
the gong tonight.
There is every reason to believe
that the bout will develop into a
Dgrudge affair before the men are
on the mat very long. Since Wes-
tergaarde held the giant Chcagoan
to draw at Omaha some time ago
after three hours of struggling,
Plestina has been anxious to get
a return match with the Iowa pro-
duct.
That match was staged at the
time Jess was suffering with a
lame shoulder and when he was
not in the best of condition. Thou
sands of fans who witnessed the
affair afterward stated that Yves
tergaarde had the edge on the Chi
cago marvel.
Hundreds of old fans around the
tri-cities know Westergaarde of
old. 1t was not very long ago when
Jess was considered the best man
in the business with the exception
of Frank Gotch. When the Des
Moines man was still 4 mere kid
and had been working only on the
canvas for a few months, he met
the famous Gotch and stayed with
the champion for more than two
hours
Yussiff MahmOuth was another
man who Westergaarde met when
he was still a kid. The referee
awarded the decision to Jess after
three hours.
After Gotch retired and the big
Turk went back to the old country,
Westergaarde claimed the title
and until he was forced to take a
long rest on account of an injury
to his shoulder he defeated every
man who came his way.
After coming out of retirement,
Jess took on Lewis, Stecher and
Zbyszko and won the referee de-
cisions over both Lewis and Zbysz-
ko after three hours work Stech-
er was going at his best at that
time but was unable to flop the
famous Iowa marvel.
While Plestina has been going
at his best for the past several
months, there are many fans
here who are willing to wager
good money that Westergaarde
will win They are unwilling to
believe that the big Chicago star
can dump the Iowa giant and are
ready to back up their belief with
money.
Jess showed so we'll against
Miriam in their last engagement
that local followers of the mat
game are convinced that he will
fool the Plestina crowd and cop,
along with the big end of the
purse, the $1,000 bonus ]. c. Marsh
Offers for the first man who pins
PIestina's shoulders to the mat
Tommy Kilbane, a cousin to the
featherweight champion, Johnny
Kilbane, is one of the local sports
men who is grabbing up money
offered by >Plestina's hackers.
Tommy has been making his home
in Davenport for the past three
months
Several years ago Kilbane trav-
eled with Westergaarde for almost
a year and knows what the Des
MOines man is capable of doing.
