All genuine boxing fans will be
found at the Illinois theatre to-

club has arranged for regular ev-

are scheduled, two of them 10
round affairs. making the show a
double windup card. In each of
them the fans can bank on seeing
plenty Of good old-fashioned mill
ing.
The followers of the ring sport
in the tri-cities are on expectant
edge in anticipation of the battle
between Stuehmer and Nuss. Many
are inclined to wonder at the ap-
parent recklessness of Nuss in COM
ing forth to meet the Davenporter,
who has stood up under such ter
rife bombarding as Tommy Com
iskey of st. Paul and Goats Doig
Of Spring Valley were capable of
giving him. Nuss, of course. is
practically an unknown quantity in
these parts, but his own expression
of confidence in his ability has
gained him many followers. who
will be at the ringside fully ex-
pecting to see him triumph over
the hard-hitting battler from across
the river. It makes it all the more
interesting when it is considered
that the men have little side BET
on the impending argument.

Experience a Poor Teacher.
Experience has always been rat
ed as first class instructor. Once
in a while it is. But not always.
New York has had many boxing
bills. Those who were looked upon
to run the game had been given
various and other chances. But at
each given opportunity they have
wrecked the sport.
As Major Bill Mcclellan has OBJ
served with vast truthfulness more
than once: Boxing was never
stopped because it was brutal. but
merely because it was crooked"
Promoters, managers. etc, con-
nected with boxing have never
profited by experience yet. At each
given opportunity they have COM
pletely wrecked the game, cleaning
up today in an utter disregard Of
the coming tomorrow. Now they
all have another chance. The game
is awaiting a keen welcome. 1t has
every chance if properly handled.
But have those who control its des-
tiny profited by experience: Or
can those who wrecked the game
before be given the buns rush
as the revival begins? If not. this
will probably be the last revival in
] a long, long time.

SONGS OF SAPP.


(oRDER A ROUND AGAIN, wILLIE1
Willie Fitzgibbons,
Who used to sell ribbons
At Young & McCombs, / am told,
Was once very dippy
Ger Madelaine Lippe,
Whose hair from peroxide was
gold.
Each night he would flag her
To some cafe drag her.
And somehow she'd never COM
plain;
He liked to be near her
THE poor fish and hear her
Sing nightly this ribald refrain:
Order a round again, Willie
A round, a round, round.
The highballs are higher
Than skirts in Hawai- re
I can't make my feet touch the
ground!
| feel like cork on
An ocean Of booze:
l feel just like crying.
Lets take off our shoes,"
Order a round again, Willie
A round, round, a round.
But. with prohibition,
He lost his position
And Madelaine Lippe, to boot;
For now he's disguised
With life, also busted,
And can't find toot-toot to foot
He wishes he'd taught her
To drink soda water
Instead OF the riotous rye:
She went with a Teller,
Who had full cellar
To Willie she never could sigh
CHORUS,
Order a round again. Willie
A round, a round. a round!
Keep ordering near-beer
AS long as we're here, dear
With sundaes my table surround!
| I feel just like crying,
i This coke is divine."-

\ Shall never touch mine!"
Order a round again, Willie

HIGH TRACK TEAM
HAS GOOD CHANCE
TO WIN BIG EIGHT
BIZ TRY

With but few days left before
the Big Eight meet at Galesburg
Saturday, the Rock Island high
school squad is working hard.
With Davenport not participating
because Of an Iowa meet on the
same day the chances for the To-
calls to place up in front are good.
4 Last year Davenport won the
meet by . large score. Galesburg
and Moline, In spite Of the fact
that Rock Island had defeated the
Swedes IN the tri-city meets. came
second and third, with the Island
srs bringing up the rear with
fourth. The locals. however, had
bad luck Just before the mix. MIL
stead was declared ineligible. An
lderson missed the train on the day
AZ the meet, and Harper was un-
|ahle to run because Of Z spiked Log.

amassing II of the II points. He
was afterwards declared ineligible
by the state board so that even
these points didn't count.
This year, however, the local
track men have all the chance in
the world to come out with the
bacon. The Islanders have inn
proved a hundred per cent since
the indoor meet and are expecting
to wipe Moline of the map when
the two schools mix in a dual tour
ney sometime this week.
Milstead is good for FIRST place in
the shotput anywhere. The big
boy is shown up well and 1t is be-
lieved that there Is not a man In
the Big Eight conference who car
beat him.

After All.

AllcI ALI
Peasant or magnate or drover,
Dwellers by land or by sea.
Life is no dream in the cover,
Whoever wants it to be?
Who wants the ease Of soft living
Where never a contest may wait
In the chance for a taking and
giving
A raw-handed grapple with fate?
You may perhaps seem the gamer
With never a heartache to span,
But Troubles the. worlds greatest
trainer
When it gets down to building a
man;
Trouble and battle and sorrow,
Part Of the whirl-i-gig reel,
Soak you today-but tomorrow
They'll turn all your fiber to
steel.
How does football team get in
4 condition for a hard season? BY
blocking, tackling, falling on the
ball, and other devices that for the
Arst two weeks are extremely pain
ful. The soft flesh and the soft
muscle must be hardened and this
can only be done by an extremely
narrowing process that could hard
~ be called fun. The football play
sS0r may have natural speed and
strength, but he isn't going to be
hardened and ready until he has
paid the price. This is anothe,
