Davenport Pug Decides to Rest
Thursday Night-Ferdie Is
Trim for Main Bout.

Babe Meanor called up this
morning to say that Buck Timothy
of Davenport had decided not to
step around with Tony Caponi at
the Empire Thursday night in what
was arranged for the semi-windup
of the Kid Ferdie-Charlie Rogers
affair Babe said Buck volunteered
no reason for Withdrawing his
name from the program.
However, Babe got busy on the
wire and located Tommy Ryan at
Des Moines and asked for an oppo-
nent for Tony. Tommy said he
would be delighted to bring with
him a fighter by the name of Al
Leach, a fine little fellow. who has
been upsetting all the likely lads
around the capital city. Ryan
claims his boy is one of the real
corners in the game. and that he
will give Tony the run of his sweet
young life.
Ferdie in Fine FettIe.
The line of chatter about the
sport haunts of the tri-cities these
days indicate that a record breaking
crowd will assemble at the Empire
Thursday eve to witness the clash
between Kid Ferdie, local colored
mitt artist, and the Chicago dark
flash, Charlie Rogers. Ferdie has
conditioned himself for this scrap
as if his life depended upon it. He
wants to prove once and for all time
that Rogers win over him last win
ter was when Ferdie was in poor
trim. The kid says he is going to
show the Chicago gentleman gloves
that he will want to steer clear OF
Rock Island forever more.

'4PINKY" TABER IN
TRIM STRIKES OUT
II OF OVERL.ANDS

"Pinky" Taber, fresh from col
Iege diamonds, stepped to the
pitchers mound for the Illinois
Oil company yesterday against the
Davenport Overlands and had a
merry time shooting his twisters
over. No less than II of the latter
letreated from the plate on strikes.
Despite his brand of twfrling by
the elongated "Pnky," the game
was a close affair and was not won
by the locals until the 18th in
ming, when Leithner drove out a
long hit with one man on and the
score tied. The final count was
2 to l. Taber allowed only four
hits, but the Davenporters played
a fast game in the field that dis
counted most of the II blows of
the Oil company.
