TOM COMISKEY
AND DOIG MIX
AT NEXT SHOW

Tommy Comiskey, a popular ia
vorite with tri-city ring followers,
will bow again to the folks at Babe
Meanor's next show in the Empire
rink. This time the St. Paul vel
ter will be matched with Goats
Doig, the tough Spring Valley mitt
artist. With two such rugged
maulers in the ring against each
other. words cannot express what
is apt to happen within the time of
10 rounds.
This bout is attracting no end of
interest among the boxing frater-
nifty of the middle west in view OF
Doig's recent bout with Dennis
O'koefe. The majority of the crit
les credited Doig with a victory
Iover O'Keefe, but detracted from
the laurels of the Spring Valley
boxersby attributing the victory to
the wide variance in the weights
of the pair. Inaspuch as Comiskey
beat O'keefe in Rock Island last
fall, the followers of the ring game
are lookingstoward Rock Island to
see what will happen between Co.
miskey and Doig. Doig will out
weigh the St. Paul boy, h0t there
are many Who are Wiling to wager
that the latter's body attack will
out-attack that of Dogs. The bout
comes a week from Thursday. :

Bloomington, ILL.,, May S.-Ben
Jones twirled in major league style
against Bloomington Saturday but
the Islanders were beaten by the
league champs, to 0. in bitterly
fought contest. Bloomington scored
its single run in the second on a
base hit by Sykes, a scratch
bingle by Fothergill and sacri
fee fly by Lenahan. After that the
Boomers got only one other hit,
this by Main, and he was the only
one to reach first base for the re-
mainder Of the game. Main save
Rock Island only two hits but he
appeared to be getting away with a
lot Of luck. In the eighth inning
Smith hit a home run but was
ruled out for failure to, touch second

RALLY IN FIFTH
SHOWS METTLE
OF ISLANDERS
Tighe's Athletes Indicate q Fight
ing Spirit, Ready t. Sieze
Opportunities.

That fifth inning rally Of the Is
landers in yesterdays tilt with
Peoria was just another indication
of.how quickly Tighe's athletes can
take advantage of a temporary
weakening in the othereteam. Rus
Ter was having everything his own
ways up to that inning. Rock Is
land had obtained. only q single
smack AMI the 81, l score against
the team looked mighty gold. But
the team didn't give up hope and
when Busler walked GalMgos to
start with and Dixon followed nth
single, the lid was off. custer
was sent to the dugout after three
runs had been scored. GIilenwa-
ter came to the rescue bat he
didn't stem the tide until four more
runs had crossed the pan Al-
though Peoria tried hard &c do
something in the remaining rounds,
Dennis was little too much for
Jackson's athletes. and be was
backed by some clever fielding on
the part OF his mates.
The showing satisfied the great
crowd Of fans that the Islanders
will cause considerable damage in
the league this summer.
Saturdays game at. Blooming
ton brought to light the real met
tie of-.the team. 1t was a great
pitchers duel between Main and
Ben Jones, the latter the Island
twirler. Bloomington got only one
man on first base after the second
inning In the eighth Smith hit
the ball so far that it went for a
home run, hut the umpire said he
didn't touch second and called the
big first bassman out. There was d
big question mark to put after the
decision but the damage was done.
Official Opening Saturday.
But.a these first games have been
satisfying affairs on the whole and
it behooves the fans to keep COM
ing in the large numbers o. yester-
day. Just keep in mind that Sat-
urday will find you arsDouglas park
again, as that day will mark the
official opening for the Islanders.
Terre Haute will be the opposing
team, and don't forget that Peoria
, is here today and tomorrow. If
you can get out there by 3:45
O'Clock, do 20.

Moline grabbed a ball game from

something went wrong with the
Tractor scheme in the ninth in
ming. With the bases populated
through the wildness of Beck, who
had relieved Aitchson at the start
of the inning, Jackson was cut off
first and Beck, Peoria twirler, who
was on third. attempted to score in
the mixup. He failed to touch the
home plate and was ruled out when
attempting to return to the plate
after going to the dugout. Jackson
rested at second base and Brown
wen to third. With Dresser at
bat, a hard hitter, and one out,
Jackson called for the squeeze.

One occasionally hears the question !:
"Is II Welsh rarebit or Welsh rhbbit?"
II Is Welsh rabbit. "Rarebit" is only
an altered form of the rabbit an
afterthought intended to simulate an
absurd derivation from rare" ana
"bit." as the Century dictionary char
acterizes 1t. "Welsh rabbit" itself Is
"genuine slang" and belongs to the
class Of names OF jocular origin. There
are many others; an Essex lion Is
calf; Fieldlane duck is baked
sleeps head; Glasgow magistrates or
Norfolk capons are red herrings; Irish
apricots or Munster plums are po-
tatoes; and Gravesend sweetmeats are
shrimps, to nnme over few examples
taken from English usage. AT the mo-
ment the only American samples that
can be offered are the Albany beef
(sturgeon) and Cape Cod turkey (cod-

OWE APPLE TREES TO FRARcs
Canadians Got Their First Shoots Fr@m
= kobiernan Who Was Associated
WIKI champialn.

II was from France that apple trees
were first brought 10 Canada. A French
nobleman named De Monts was ass0-
ciafed with Samuel de ChamplaIn in
Frances earliest colonizlng projects
In part Of North America. Their first
colony was planted on the rocky island
OF 81. Croix. now Doucett's or Neutral
island. at the mouth OF the River st.
.Crolx. which forms part of the present
boundary between New Brunswick and
the state Of Maine. After spending
there the winter Of lG04-05. the colon
lists removed to Port Royal. now An.
nap0lls. Nova Scotia. The colonists
were getting foothold when their
charter was revoked by the king Of
France In 1907. and the enterprise
cnme TO an end. However, In the fol.
lowing year Champlnin founded Que.
bee. and shortly afterwards De Monts
sent out 10 Chainplain some young ap-
pie trees. They were planted and grew
well. Such was the beginning Of ap-
plegrowing In Canada. Twenty years
later apple trees were introduced into
that part Of ancient Acadia that now
forms the province OF Nova Scotia.
