The Rock Island post, No. 200.
has already organized basketball
team, the success Of which is as
sured; although at this writing only
one regular game has been played,
with the result of a 42-22 victory
for the Legion. This is very en-
couraging owing to the fact that
their opponent, the Black Hawk
Mattress organization. is consider
ed a very strong team and they
have been playing together for
some time, while the Legion team
had hardly any practice. The cap
tain Of the team Is Leland Demp-
sey and the manager Tom Brennan.
The latter is in correspondence
with nearly forty teams at the
present time and a strong winter
schedule is assured.
forecasting the Future.
One point that has been holding
the Legion back to a certain extent
is the lack of permanent quarters.
They have applied to the city coun-
Gil to give back to them their old
quarters. the armory, and il this
petition is acted upon favorably 1t
will allow the post to extend its
activities in q number of ways. It
is expected that q secretary will be
installed to look after the quarters
and take care Of the correspond
ence that is already becoming a
burden to the various officers and
committeeman.
1t will be a place where Legion
members can gather and enjoy the
club rooms, and the armory will
give them a chance to carry out
their athletic and social activities.
As the post gains in strength tire
! will be . vast amount Of work to
be carried on. For instance, the
surgeon Is expected to work with
all men who were wounded in the
war-see that they get the proper
artificial limbs, II necessary; see
that they get their chances for vo-
cational training, and take up with
the government headquarters any
difficulties on misunderstanding
that arise. The civic affairs> COM
mittee will cooperate with all 9TH
er civic bodies to help make Rock
! Island bigger and better city, and
will organize an. employment bu-
reau for ex-service men.
The national legislative and in
surance committee will keep the
members advised as to the various
bills up in congress affecting ex.
service men. and difficulties with
regard to insurance will also be
Strengthened out by this commit.
tee.
The post expects to have by the
end Of 1920 one thousand members
and there Is no reason why the,
cannot make Of themselves one Of
the strongest and most popular or.
ganizations in Rock Island.
