resident OF the southwest part OF
the city, the part formerly known
as the village of Sears. AS n mem
Der of the village board : helped
to bring about the adoption of the
union ordinance, whereby some
/ 500 acres touching Rock river on
the west and south was annexed to
the city of Rock Island, making IT
possible for the city to replace a
practically impossible roadway
with paved streets, thereby supply
ing the city with a permanent, and
by the way, its only outlet 10 the

WISER BESTED
IN EASY STYLE
Palmer School Student Shows
Little Class Against Marvin
Plestina OF Chicago.

Pete Wiser, the much touted
heavyweight wrestler of Daven-
port, proved easy meat for Marvin
Plestina Of Chicago, Jugo-Slay mat
artist of prominence, in two
straight falls of a finish bout at the
Burtis opera house last evening. y
capacity house witnessed the con-
test.
PIestina won the first fall with an
arm scissors and arm lock after -
minutes and u seconds of tussling,
throughout which he proved the ag-
gressor. An arm lock and half
nelson pinned Vissers shoulders to
the mat for the second and last fall
in the snappy time of . minutes
and 4 seconds.
The bout last night would indi-
cate the truth OF the assertions OF
Plestina's manager and Farmer
Burns, one-time world champion,
that the big Slav ranks with the
best in the mat game. 1t is claimed
by Plestina's hackers that Stecher,
Lewis and Zybyszko. the big
three combination in theetaoe
wrestling game, have persistently
refused to meet Marvin, regardless
of consideration or guarantee. ;
Two fast preliminaries preceded
the main event last evening. In
the opener William Stengel Of the
Davenport Y. NJ. c. A. quit after 20
minutes and AS seconds OF
wrestling against Walter Strand.
Both are lightweights and possess
an abundance of speed and clever
ness. Harry BrondeH disposed Of
Beckie Beckerdite by pinning his
shoulders to the mat in IA minutes
and 10 seconds.
Johnson of the Davenport "Y"
refereed the main go.

MURPHY TRAINS
FOR BOUT HERE
Chicago Sailor MiddIeweight Work
ing Hard for Battle with Row
lands Here March 20.

Tommy Murphy, stoCkyards sail
or boxer OF Chicago, is not under
estimating Len ROwlands, his OPP
ponent in this city March %. &C
cDrdjng to a letter received this
morning from his brother and man
aEcr, Ed Murphy. Ed writes:
Having enjoyed a two weeks
rest, Stockyards Tommy Murphy,
ChicagOs sensational Irish middle
weight, has started training for his
scrap March 20 with Len ROwIands
iu Babe MeanOr's arena at Rock Is
land
although Rock Island fans may
think they saw Murphy at his best
when he spilled Bob York in three
rounds, the fact of the matter is
Ifat he was a bit drawn and under
"a strain because of his constant
fighting. Brother and manager,
FL. after closing with Promoter
Meanor, for Rowlands, called off a
battle at Superior. Wis, with Jack
Hughes of Milwaukee, so that Tom
my could get a much-needed rest.
The Hughes mill was to have taken
place Feb. q, one week after the
York upset
Murphy weighed 161 pounds the
afternoon of the York scrap. Right
now he is up to 165. When he an
swcrs the gong to trade punches
with RowIands he will scale be-
tween 15S and 100 pounds.
Tommy has a grudge against
anything from Milwaukee. AL
though he has been fighting about
the country for four years, the Beer
city promoters would never offer
him a match. He went so far as to
offer to battle anyone they select
ed, preferably Milwaukee talent,
for nothing. He named Bob Moha,
the cave man. and Rowlands. Tom
my doesn't think that RowIands or
Soha lodged him, but adds that it
is a bit peculiar neither would mix
with him in a ring outside Wis
COnsin.
"Rowlands ought to have some
thing on Murphy in speed, but
Tommy fears none of them He
declares that he can catch any mfN
in 10 rounds and that once they are
caught he will lean that awful
right hand punch against their
chin. The blow that upset York
travelled only six inches. II Muir
ply ever gets more leverage be-
hind it and rests it on Rowland's
expression, Len will curl up and
pass away"

Last year / purchased a standard
make of shoes, and in sixty days the
