BIG RING BOUT
TO BE HELD IN
NEW YORK, VIEW
Real Site Withheld Until
After Election
Activities.

New York, Nov. 2.-The Demp-
sey-Carpentier fight will take place
in the immediate vicinity Of New
York city in July. Universal Ser
vice was able to make that Cat
statement yesterday on the best OF
authority. Formal announcement
will be made in a few days, prob
ably Friday.
The articles we're all signed last
Thursday, or at least agreed to, but
at the request Of the New York
state boxing commission the mat
ter was to be kept secret until aft
er election. Governor Al Smith
takes the credit for the state box
ing laws. Also Governor Smith ap-
pointed the commission.
II the fight plans were an
nounced before election storm of
protest might have an adverse in
fluence on Governor Smiths none
too robust chances Of reelection.
Naturally the promoters Of the fight
were agreeable to any suggestions
of this nature made by the com
mission. Hence all the talk about
Havana.
An arena Is to be built seating
100000. Prices will range from $40
to $500, the average being about
$50. That means that the receipts
will be 100000. The arena and
expenses will cost half million
dollars. Dempsey will get $780,
900. Car .,entier 100000 and the
promoters will pocket the other
81, 000. 900.

Although Rock Island high ath-

from their OLD rivals, Moline, last
Saturday. the team 10 OF the con-
census that better work must b.
done before they can hope to beat
Davenport. The squad, somehow.
lacked the tight that II has shown
in previous contests and failed to
hold Moline after the "Swedes" had
picked up the ball and brought It
close to the goal.
The team, as q whole, did better
work against Geneseo and Keokuk
than Moline. The only redeeming
features of the game were the rum
ming Of Duncan and Harper Henke.
at times, played good ball, but 1t
other times he failed to measure up
to standard. Shelter played = good
game that was marred only by his
two disastrous fumbles. Schmidt.
at right end. performed in stellar
stylesand frequently mussed up Mo-
lines plays behind the fine.
Early Speed Dies Out
The rest of the team. however.
failed to quite come up to the
showing that had been made earlier
in the season. The two touchdovns
in the first few minutes Of play
caused the Islanders to let up In
their fight and it was not until the
second half began that they play
cd regular football.
The team this year has already
made one Of the bets records that
any squad has ever established. The
present eleven has gone through
eight games without q defeat and
the chances are that they will finish
the season the same day. The
locals goal has been crossed but
three times: twice by Moline and
once by the Moline Foresters.
Hot After Davenport.
The Islanders are going to make
strong attempt to defeat Daven-
port, Nov. 13. In the past, Rock Is
land teams have been defeated by
Davenport long before they met ON
tAO 81 iuIAou' IL C AeidAuCi6 hACW
that the Iowans had the best team
and failed to put up a fight. This
year. however. the squad are OF the
opinion that it is as strong as
any. The Red and Blue men put q
great deal of faith in Layden, their
star quarter, whom they say is
such a fast man. The Islanders,
however. think that Harper and
Duncan are as fast as Layden ever
will be.
Next week the team meets Ster-
ling away from town This will be
the game in which the Islanders
can show their real strength. Moth
ing has been heard of the Sterling
aggregation as yet, but the locals
are expecting a hard fight. Last
year Sterling held the high school
to a IA to 0 score.
Duncan Makes Good.
The playing of Duncan Saturday
stamps him at once as one Of the
best halves ever seen in these parts.
With Harper, the colored fash, as
his running mate. there should be
no end to the locals speed. One Of
the features Of the game was the
way Duncan ran back punts. He
was never downed without a gain
and frequently eluded the Moline
ends and forwards for long runs.

they win. they would receive more
than $1,000 for their end, which Is
almost unheard of in professional
football outside the large cities.
As-exclusively reported in yes
terday's Argus, Manager Halas OF
the Staleys had decided to play in
Rock Island even before Manager,
Flanagan went to Chicago to close
the deal. Flanagan diseredieed the
Rockford report about Slaley luck
and the fact that Halas had re-
ceived q fractured cheekbone- that
might keep him out of Sundays
game. He said this morning that
the injury" is only scratch on
the face and that Halas and his
team only toyed with the Rox as
they did with Moline prior to their
Rock Island debut.
Condition Will Tell.
The demand now is more urgent
than ever that the Independents
work up better form than display
ed in the Chicago Cardinals and
Chicago Tigers games IL they hope
to beat this cocky outfit Of we'll
conditioned football players. The
future personnel OF the Independ-
ents win be established on the face
. Of their individual showing against
the Staleys. Thus. it behooves ev-
cry Islander to perfect himself to
the utmost in order to remain with
the team and finish the season. !
/ The Staleys will start the game
as general favorites. Their team
is still unimpaired. The same line
up az that OF two weeks ago will
take the field. Their team play
will be intact: better, in fact. as
the result Of increased confidence
resultant of more recent victories.
In face Of these circumstances, the
islanders will present the same
crippled lineup that took the field
against the Chicago teams. Ur-
sella, Lyle, Buland and Mansfield
are doubtful whether they can
nurse their injuries into shape for
the game.
