PRAISE FOR LEGION.

The question Of legalized boxing
in Illinois will be put before the
coming legislature this fall, and,
il the new bill is passed, Rock Is
land post, American Legion. will
enjoy the distinction of having put
the measure across on behalf Of
the good sports OF the state.
Rock Island post was first to
conceive and champion the cause
of the manly art, despite the atti-
tude of their executive committee.
A great majority Of the post were
heartily in favor of becoming &C
lively engaged in promoting the
sport last spring, but the measure
was frowned upon by those higher
up.
Undaunted by the attitude OF
their superiors, the majority le-
gionnaires, headed by a committee
from their ranks composed of How
ard Kloye, Roswell w. Apologize,
Marcus Brough, E. C.. Eberhardt
and Jack Zimmerman succeeded
in going over the heads of the. ex-
ecutives and forcing immediate &C.
ton toward the success OF the box
ing bill.
The insurgents communicated
with the state legion headquarteri
and were advised to draw up the
bill in the form Of . resolution FOL
presentation at the recent annual
encampment in Chicago. This was
done. and when the boxing resolu-
ton. urging for immediate legalix'
ing OF decision boxing in Illinois
was offered to the convention Dy
the Rock islanders named above
it received almost unanimous sup
port and was accepted.

Defeat of
Ouinet Is
Evans JOy

Chicago, Sept. 13.-No victory in
the many scored by Chick Evans
in his career on the links has Civ
en- him greater satisfaction than
his triumph Saturday over Francis
Ouimet in the final for the ma
tional amateur championship at
Roslyn. L. l.
Chick is great admirer of the
Boston player, who is the highest
type of sportsman, but there are
players and scribes in the east
who. by their sayings and writ
ings, have gotten under Chicks
hide.
This was especially true at Pitts
burgh last year, where Ouimet's
Illness received great publicity
while Chicks rheumatic attack was
to some extent overlooked.
Luck With Ouimet.
Their meeting at Pittsburgh did
not demonstrate that Ouimet had
anything on the Chicago player
for as a matter of fact Ouimet was
lucky to get near the 18th hole
when he played his third shot from
out OF sand pit. His winning
putt was fine one, while Chicks
third from the edge Of the green
was a poor one.
On Saturday afternoon at Ros.
Ign. Chick played championship
! golf, the kind which has led Var.
don and Ray and other British
professionals to proclaim him one
Of the greatest amateurs in the
world. Western professionals, who
see more of Chicks play than those
Of the east. have the same belief.
Shows Middle West Strength.
Another view Of Chicks victory
is that golf in the middle west Ii
stronger than in any other sec
ton. Harry Vardon, when in Chi
cago. said the game had improved
more in this section than else
where. He expressed surprise a
the progress made in such citie'
as Detroit, Chicago and Minneapo
lis.
This progress undoubtedly is du,
to the fine class Of PROFESSIONAL
attracted to the western clubs, il
which, they find their surrounding
more congenial and their treatmen
better than at many of the eastern
clubs.

A TRUE ISLANDER.

Walter Flanigan's suggestion last
week that this years Independents
should represent the whole tri-
cities not Rock Island alone, has
been widely discussed since the
idea was first presented by The
Argus. Perhaps this has been the
result OF the intense rivalry be-
tween the three cities, with the
general sporting field the only pub
lie place where pent-up, inter-city
sentiments can be threshed out and
decided openly.
The following letter received to-
day from an ardent Rock Island
Independent football fan tells one
side of the case with a punch. II
follows:
after reading your article in
The Argus of Saturday last regard.
ing a tri-city football team, it has
occurred to me that it might, per-
haps, be in line to state a few facts
relative to the matter as I SEE
see them.
"As we all know, the Independ.
ents have been a long time getting
the reputation they now enjoy; and
now that we are recognized as q
football power all over the nation
it seems to me that Rock Island
and the Independents should be al.
lowed to keep the honors they de-
serve.
IF Davenport and Moline aspire
to such athletic prestige. let then
work to earn it. We have not for
gotten the small town tactics oul
neighbors have pulled in the past
nor must We overlook the actor
Of the Moline Fans association IL
| refusing to assist our baseball
team this season when the Island
ers were hard pressed for goot
players.
"A tri-city team may be all RICH
as q financial proposition, but a
a sporting matter, believe ian,
am not alone in my convictions
that it would be rank nxzle.
haven't . doubt that, should Their
be . deficit at the end Of the season
the fans would not respond q.
eagerly as in the past. Therefore
I say, let the Independents kee]
their own laurels and keep AVA,
from Davenport and Moline.
