IN SECOND MIX
AT STATE MEET

Champaign. Ill, March 15.-Peo-
ria, Rockford, Springfield and Her
rim will enter the semi-finaIs in
the state high school basketball
championship tournament this aft
ernoon
Peoria drew a bye in the first
round and plays Springfield, which
eliminated Champaign last night.
Rockford will hook up with Her
rim, winner of the Shelbyville-
Herrin game in the second round.
Many critics who have watched
the play believe that Peoria and
Rockford are superior to their op-
pCnents. Peoria had a runaway
in the game with Barry yesterday
and Rockford clearly proved su-
perior in fast work against Flora
and Dundee.

FIGHT BRANDED
ON The SQUARE
William III. Recap, One OF Crlucs
at Willard-Johnson Fright.
Shows Why.

Philadelphia, March 15.-"Jack
Johnson, who reveled for more
than six years in the success which
follows and attends a world S
heavyweight champion, has added
one more offense to the crimes re
has committed" said William II.
Recap, who covered the Johnson
Willard fight at Havana on April
8, 1915. He has insulted the In
telligence of every newspaper critic
who was at the ringside in Havana
on April 5, 1915. In a signed in
terview, born perhaps in the feeble
brain of his press agent, he con-
fesses that his bout with Jess Will
lard on that date in defense OF the
title was a fake and that he was
to lay down in the 10th round.
1.-THE smartest ring critics in the
world. men who know boxing from
A to u, men with trained eyes who
can tell the moment a blow is
pulled" and who could sense a
crooked round before It was half
over, were at the ringside. Haf
one of these men even suspected
that the other man was not trying
his best, he would have so cabled
his paper or the press association
from which he was assigned. II
he did not he was not fit to ever
draw salary from any reputable
newspaper a single day thereafter.
Jess willard beat Jack john
son fairly and squarely in that
Havana ring All the scrfbes
present, and the writer was
among the number, agreed that
Willard had outboxed, outfought
and outpunched the big negro in
a majority of the 26 rounds fought.
Johnson went down because ma
ture would no longer respond. He
was outclassed in youth, strength,
science and condition.
After the 18th round and to the
finish Johnson was beaten man.
1t became a question Of how long
he would last when his only chance
was to catch Willard off guard,
which he never did. 1t was appar-
ent to the writer that Johnson's
effort to forestall defeat was a
game one and he was simply beaten
by a better man.

EXTRA WEAR
FROM SHOES

"a year ago l had my shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles. The soles
are still in service, and it looks as if
| would not be able to wear them out.
because the uppers are going first, !"
said w. c. Dickinson, of New Haven,
Conn.
Good repair shops everywhere carry
these tough and durable soles. See
for yourself how long they last by
having them put on a pair of old shoes.
Or if you are in need of new shoes, buy
them with Neolin Soles. They cost
no more than shoes that give less
wear, and you need fewer pairs. They
come in many styles for men, women
and children.
Neolin Soles are created by Science
to be comfortable and waterproof. as
well as long-wearing. They are made
by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed to outwear all
other heels.

Wednesdays Winner.
WISER VS.. WEsTERGAARDE
DeS M0fneS Veteran Mat Artist
sWill Wrestle Palmer Pro-
duct at Muscatine.

Jess Westergaarde, Des Moines
veteran heavyweight wrestler, is
after the scalp of Pete Wiser, of
the Palmer school, when they meet
in Muscatine next Wednesday
night The reason is simple. Il
Jess throws the chiropractic stud
ent, he will meet Marin Plestina,
the Chicago giant, at the Burtis
theatre, Davenport on the night
of March "a.
The signature of Joe March,
Plestina's manager, was secured in
Chicago Thursday night, after .
wrangle over conditions that lasted
for hours. Whether or not Marsh
is afraid that the veteran Iowa mat
star is able to cop that $1,000 check
which he offers the first man to
pin Plestina's shoulders to the mat,
was not discussed, but the fact re-
mains that it was only after the
most earnest endeavors that Marsh
agreed to have PIestina wrestle
Westergaarde to a finish.
If Westergaarde fails to make a
good showing against Wiser, i'll
fact, if he fails to throw the clever
doctor, Jess will lose the chance
to exhibit in Davenport and Steve
Savage will be given the match.
The promoters have guaranteed
this match to be all that is claimed
for it and will make a money back
proposition to all ticket holders if
there is the least suspicion of any
OF the parties.
Jess Expected to Win.
1t is assumed by most fans that
Westergaarde will have little diff
Guilty in throwing Wiser, princi-
pally because of his long mat ex-
perience and his heft Jess weighs
about 225 now which will let him
come into the ring against the
chiropra ctor with about .thirty-fve
pounds advantage. This weight
will also make the Plestina match
more interesting as it will bring
him within ten or fifteen pounds of
the mark touched by the Chicago
giant.
Arrangements are being made to
care for big house at the Burtis.
Seats will sell at prices ranging
from IS cents to 50 and the pre-
liminaries are now being arranged
Babe Meanor will referee the main
event.

In the Shut-M Season don't
Lie ShMt-M with the Dirt

Too wintry to have rugs and car
pets lugged outside for beating.
Too "chilly'' to open windows and
let out the dust scattered through
the air by broom-sweeping.
Yet more and more dirt is being
tracked in. And SCOT from out
side is continually finding entry.
The thought of living "shut-in"
with this dirt until Spring is decid-
edly unpleasant. 1t is decidedly
unnecessary.

MIR. HARRIS MADDEST
 MAN IN CAPITAL CITY

PHOENIX-Mr. Chas. ". Harris, former adjutant general, is the mad dest man in Phoenix. He admits it.. He is so mad that he is talking about appointing a new governor to succeed Tom Campbell who separated him from the payroll.
 Announcement of the appointment of Col. E. P. Grinsted leaves Harris high and dry in his contention that he is the only man in the state who can fill the job. Grinsted is qualified even under the contention of Harris who thought that this officer of the guard who has been serving in France while he has been holding a job at home, would not take the place.
 Col. Grinsted will return next month and will immediately step into the of flee occupied by Harris. Many are wondering whether the late adjutant general will have the face to continue as a pretender after a soldier from France returns to accept the appoint ment.
