DEMETRAL WINS
AGAINST SWEDE
One Fall in As Minutes-In-
jury Halls Battle.

William Demetral, the Greek
demon heavyweight wrestler, de-
feated Morse Jerlstrom, Swedish
giant, in 48 minutes at the Turner
hall, Moline, last night, the match
being decided by one fall when
Jerlstrom, claiming an injury, re-
fused to continue. A toe-hold and
armlock won for Demetral.
In the preliminary, Young Jeffee
of Moline won from Fred Brondell
in 50 minutes of fast, snappy wrest-
ling, an arm scissors bringing
home the bacon for Jeffee.
A good sized crowd turned out
for the entertainment last evening
and all were pleased with the quail
ity of the sport offered. John Free
berg challenged the winner of the
main go, and he will meet Deme-
trail before Moline fans in April.

POTTS HALL is
DUNDEE BACKER
Chicago Sporting Editor Says Lo-
cal Bantam Is Entitled TO Meet
the Best of Them.

Sam P. Hall, known to his friends
as Potts" and to the ring frater-
nifty as SOL Pick" who spends his
time editing the sport page Of the
Herald-Examiner OF Chicago, has
recognized Mike Dundee of Rock
Island as entitled to meet the best
of 'em in the bantam class.
Here's what Sam says about Pea
nuts Schieberl's protege on today's
sport page:
and his printed record indicates as
much. At least there is nothing to
show that a decision ever has been
rendered against him or that any
rude youngster has punched him to
the mat for the count. Mike has
met a bunch of good ones, so such
a record speaks volumes for his
ability.
Peanuts" Schieberl, once quite a
battler himself. is plotting Dundee
and thinks Mike is ready for the
best of them. He would dearly
love to book the little Italian with
Pete Herman after Pal Moore takes
his shot at the champion Monday
night in Memphis. Schieberl says
they can't come too fast or too
classy for Michael.
Has Fought Pal Moore.
Dundee's record includes fights
with Pal Moore, Roy Moore, Pekfn
Kid Herman, Earl Puryear and a
bunch of lesser lights. Most of his
fighting has been done in Rock Is
land and other downstate towns,
but he's ready to branch out now
and AYERS the lights of the metro
pOlitan cities will not blind him in
his boxing career.
If the two Moores, Pekin Herman
and Puryear could not make the
river town pride back up, then he's
1T to sick on the champion, Joe Bur-
man, Jack Sharkey and the rest
At any rate he's worthy of the
chance and he intends to step out
and make his own breaks in the
matchmaking line.
La Sale wants Dundee and Pal
Moore. Pal. the guy with the big
reputation. is asking a guarantee
Dundee allows that the club can
give Moore his guarantee out of his
tDundee's) end if necessary to
clinch the match. Which indicates
that Mike certainly is eager for
another whirl with the chap that
beat Jimmy Wilde.
Dundee will be 10 years old in
August. He makes rs pounds with
comfort
Makes Hit in Detroit.
Dundee's last start was with Carl
Tremaine in Detroit last Monday,
Mike taking the bout on short no
tice and scaling 11S. One of the
Detroit critics said of this scrap:
Mike Dundee, a newcomer in
this section, won a home for him
self by taking a decision from Carl
T'remaine. bantamweight champion
of Michigan, in eight rounds of
clever milling.
Dundee had it on Tremaine in
almost everything from infghting
20 the hit-and-run style. Tremaine
had the first round by a shade. The
second was even. The young Ital-
ian boxer from Illinois grabbed the
third, fourth and fifth rounds by
undisputed margins. The sixth and
seventh periods were even, but the
last round also went to the visitor.
Dundee is a mixer and as a fast,
clever artist is easily Tremaine's
equal and probably his superior.
This, together with his aggressive
ness. gave him the edge"

Three Needs Apparent
For Successful Boxing

Thursday nights boxing fiasco
featuring Tommy Murphy of Chi
cagO and Len RowIands of Mil
waukee was most unfortunate
occurrence in more ways than
one.
In the first place the fight game
had just begun to get on it's feet
in the tri-cities. The public was
beginning to patronize the bouts
because of the real enjoyment they
afforded. Several good shows pro-
noted by Babe Meanor preceded
Thursday evenings program, and
the, fans, through press columns
setting forth what were taken as
honest claims of fighters and man
ayers, had been keyed up to a
high pitch of expectancy regarding
the Rowlands-Murphy match
The extent of the interest was
demonstrated when the largest
crowd TO witness a boxing exhibit
zion in Rock Island passed the
turnstile at the rink auditorium.
Three needs were made appar-
ent by the failure of the show. 1t
would seem that they are neces-
sary for the continued success and
elevation of the ring sport in Rock
Island. They are:
1. Need of restrictions and
regulations Iessening the pos
gibIlity OF a reOccurrence OF
such a bout as the Murphy
ROwlands go.
2. Need OF a large, more
comfortable, and better yenti-
lated boxing auditorium.
3. Need OF a second and rival
boxing club in friendly cOmpe-
titiOn which should result ben
eficially for the spOrt-lOVing
public.
In regard to the first need, it
was for just such a purpose that
the boxing commissions of Wis
consin. and Minnesota were form
ed. In the matter of eliminating
frameups, stalling and "love-fests"
of the ring they have proven a
great success. Their regulations
are strict and penalties severe for
offenders. Similar conditions ex-
list in the eastern centers. In view
of the impending passage of the
10-round boxing bill in Illinois. the
commission may be an ultimate
pOSSlDllllS III LI146 SLdkCs DuI "
ever the method or means, some
thing should be done to prevent a
reoccurrence of another Murphy
Rowlands exhibition.
The second need as set forth re-
Quires no explanation.
Need number three invites dis
cussion and is worthy of serious
consideration. It always takes two
to make a fight and two separate,
rival business concerns to sharpen
the desire of each to please the
public. To do so means improve
ment, and improvement means
more high class service to the pa
tron. AS variety is the spice of
life, so too is live, friendly compe-
tition the life and root of pro-
gressive business and sport.
The tri-cities are large enough
TO support two fight clubs, and two
shows a month, given by rival pro-
motors, should receive the en-
dorsement and backing of the
fans. Babe Meanor and the Rock
Island Athletic club should and
doubtless would not, object to
friendly, sportsmanlike, on-the-
Aevel competition, for the melon is
egSrely big enough for two.

BRITTON, VETERAN OF ID YEARS,

Jack Britton looms UP as the
most interesting figure in the fight
game just at present.

out Ted in the ninth round.
1t was f1ttingly proper that Brit

The most remarkable part of
Britton's victory is the fact that it
