Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-05-01

The stage is set for what prom
Uses to be a crack boxing show I'M
der the auspices of Babe Meanor
and the Rock Island Athletic cub
~ the Empire rink tonight.
TSavyweights, sure-enough Dig
fellows, Hugh Walker and Jack
Burke, by name, are to furnish the
excitement in the main attract on
OF a scheduled 10 rounds. But little
preference is shown by the fans
either way in picking the winner
ard but little coin is being placed.
Walker has mixed with Burke
before, and Des Moines fans tell
that the mill was one of the most
exciting 12-round affairs ever
staged at the Iowa capital. Opinion
was divided on the outcome of that
fracas and it is probable that the
big boys will battle to about an
even bre2K this evening unless the
unforeseen and unlocked for hap
pens.
Semi Looks Good.
The semi-windup between Kid
Ferdie and Young Sam bangford
has all the earmarks of a good
bout, providing Langford lives up to
expectations. 1t is possible that he
will prove another cay set-up tor
the local black boy in order that
the latter will draw well in a return
match with Charlie Rogers, his con-
queror, Chicago negro welter
we ght. Ferdie looks like an easy
winner against LangfoTd.
The two preliminaries appear TO
be high class and should prove a fit
prelude to a classy main battle.
Whether the attendance will be
all that is predicted remains to be
seen. for it is becoming evident that
a less number of fans than hereto
fs1E are passing through the gate at
the two shows a month being staged
here.

CAPTAIN WAS GOOD FELLOW"
Otherwise Privstes Might Have Found
Their PisyfuIness to BE Q seri-
QUE Matter.

While serving at Fort Sill. Okla. I
was quartered with q Texas cowboy.
and he would often amuse himself
hours at a time with his lasso. One
favorite stunt was to stand In the door
OF his tent after taps. when all was
dark and quiet, and throw his rope
around the foot Of some unsuspecting
comrade returning from town, drawing
him into the tent, where he would flash
light into his face. frightening the
poor fellow numerically.
One night at his game an unusually
large fellow was caught and he whis-
pered to me to help drag him In, which
] cheerfully did. The big fellow came
into the tent on his back, swearing
with all his might. We threw the light
into his face with a laugh and were
greeted with the two shining bars Of our
captain | lost no time in getting out
side of the tent, and suppose my brave
cow-puncher disappeared in some
such way. For days we could picture
ourselves behind bars at Fort Leaven-
worth, and upon being called to the
captains tent a week later all hope
faded. Right here | wish to declare
our captain a good fellow, as we were
dismissed with a reprimand and a re-
quest that the performance never be
repeated.-Detroit Free Press.

CAR TO LIVE IN LEGEND
World May Look for All Sorts OF
Tales Concerning Autocrst Of
All the Russias.

The car Of Russia is lost in legend.
Unless he shall again appear definite
ly in the flesh. so that his identity may
be positively established before all the
world. the question of his fate will be
always disputed. He will take his
place in the list with the lost dauphin
Of France, who is supposed to have
lived a quiet life In America after be-
ing spirited away. and with John
Ord" brother of Franz Josef. who
renounced his title and sailed away In
vessel reported lost with all hands,
but who is supposed to be living In
cognlto on an obscure, palm-shaded Is
land. far from the reach of the tur-
MOL that marked the last days Of the
Hapsburg court.
As a result Of the conflicting stories
now being circulated regarding the
car, the public mind Is already divid-
ed as to whether a bolshevik bullet
really ended his life or whether the
Count Tatichev, thes emperor's person
al military attache. with supreme de-
votion to duty, died In his masters
stead. Only the clearing up of the
mystery can prevent the reports years
hence that In the death of some OBJ
scure old man of foreign appearance
the end has finally come to him who
was once Autocrat Of All the Russias.

Il could net tell him. It is not jiu

tive board has decided to eliminate

tive board has decloed to eliminate completely the sale of single tickets.
 The public, in consequence of the unexpected advance sale Of season tickets, now has access only to the 200 which remain unsold. and all persons who had accepted to go to only one or two of the numbers in the series must abandon this expectation.
 Definite dates on which the other four attractions will be heard here have also been announced by the club.
 Lambert Murphy, New York tenor, and Merle Alcock, contralto, will ap- pear in joint recital on October IS. three weeks from next Saturday.
 The Duncan dancers and George Copeland, pianist. will appear Novem- Der IT.
 Helen Stanley, American prima donna soprano. comes to Phoenix January 3.
 The F1onzaley Quartet, ranking with the Kneisel Quartet as the greatest ex- ponents of chamber music in the coun- try, will give their concert here April 5.
 Cortot, appearing February 26. has just cancelled an engagement in Fl Paso to play here. His engagement was secured only after long negotia- tions by the club which also con- sidered Percy Grainger and Godowsky.
 We are lucky to get him." said Miss Hulburd yesterday evening. This is his first American tour and he is in great demand. We decided over a month ago that we wanted a we'll known pianist for the last number of our series, and in considering Cortot we were aware that if he came it would be necessary for him to cancel some other engagement"
 Speaking of the seat sale, Miss Hull burd added:
 "The sale of 800 tickets so early in the season surprised us, and as we had but 1000 to sell in all, we were forced to the decision to put them all on sale as season tickets.
 "The artists coming here are all headliners in the Philharmonic series the leading concert series in Los An geles, and the s season ticket price which we have established here is less than half these same artists command on the coast. It is not the aim of the l club to make money, however. Oul aim is to give the public good music at cost, and the comfort of the sub- scribers is our only concern"

b|GSTARS WHO SING
 ON[Y FUR COLUMBIA

The best songs of the many comic opera and vaudeville stars who sing exclusively for Columbia are being fea- tured by the Columbia Graphophone company this month. Al Jolson is rep resented by three selection in this col lection of songs by artists who sing for thousands at the theaters and for hun dreds of thousands on Ciluubia records.
 Jolson himself pronounces 'Tll Say. She Does'' from "Sinbad" his greatest hit. Another song that Jolson inter- polated in the famous show, thereby making it more famous, was "On the Road to Calais" No one who has heard it is likely to forget the third Jolson song featured this month, Wedding Bells CWill You Ever Ring for Me?)"
 Nora Bayes has had a good time (Nora always has good time) singing her latest hits for Columbia records, and Bert Williams makes his Columbia records just as solemnly and just as amusingly as he sing his songs on the stage. Van and Schenck have contrib uted three songs to this collection of the latest popular successes, which can be heard, as sung by these famous artists, only on Columbia records.

The Ocatillo club, made up of young men of Phoenix, with a house on North Second avenue and ten members who think there is no place like home, is the latest addition to the clubs of the city. Due to the fact that the only time the entire club gathers is at dinner, it has been impossible for the new organization to formulate a policy, either as to the future or what great civic improvements it intends to un- dertake.
 "The club is merely our home stated Paul c. McIver, its organizer, yesterday afternoon. Every man in the club felt the lack of home, so we decided to make one of our own We are decidedly satisfied with our experiment. I don't believe one of us would go back to living down town"
 In addition to McIver, the members include Dr. John J. Sitlxin, E. T. Mo Coy, examiner in charge of the U. S. employment service; Lasser H. Cor netsky, manager of the claim depart ment of the Carl H. Anderson com pany; Corbin Davidson, teller of the Union Oil company; c. R. Holton, as- sociated with Judge R. F.. Sloan; Jas. P. Bennett of the B. F. Goodrich com- pany; Ralph Rollins, manager of the capital bureau of the Tucson Citizen; Steven Adderton of the B. F. Good rich company and Robert P. Holiday of the Arizona Republican.
 Although nine of the members of the club are unmarried and two of them earnestly VOW they never will submit to double harness, the club has no idea of establishing a home for confirmed bachelors. Rather, it is the general opinion of the members that 1t might be well to turn the management of the house over to successive members
