Evening at the Y.
BY ~SPHEROID SLIM

Tomorrow night Rock Island
high will meet Moline in the first
local game for the tri-city scholas-
tic championship. The contest will
take place in the local Y Although
Moline defeated Davenport several
weeks ago, the Swedes have since
fallen lower in basketball estima-
ton and the Islanders are expect
ing to give them the merry raz. On
Saturday evening the locals will
journey to Cedar Rapids for an
other tilt
The Moline shooters in their last
game with Galesburg showed up
rather rotten. not getting single
point in the whole first half. The
final score was 26 to Z. The fol-
lowing night the Islanders played
Galesburg to a % to Is score. This
dope gives the locals slight edge
over their opponents.
The maroon and white squad this
year is slow and awkward. having
only two men who can be really
called last. WOOD at back guard
plays good game and was the
only one who didn't go to pieces in
the Galesburg- Moline battle. Lund-
berg lost his head completely and
made wild shots at the basket with
out any hope of looping it in. Cap
tain briggs is the best shot on the
/. team and he is the only one the
Rock Islands guards will have to
keep serious eye on. What Mo-
line lacks in skill is made up by
fighting ability, however. The game
with Galesburg almost became a
free-for-all prize fight before it was
| finished.

With all fighters on edge, some
two thousand boxing fans of the
tri-clties are IN line to witness some
great bouts at tina Empire rink to-
night. Otto Wallace and Johnny
Noye. principals in the windup. are
both In tip-top shape and each is
confident Of hanging the crepe on
the other. Otto points to his pre-
vious two clashes with Noye In
which he was given the popular
decision as proof Of his superiority.
He states that tonight will just
make II three times, and conclusive.
On the other hand, Noye says he
never felt better in his life. and
that those who think he is q back
number because of the stroke Of
paralysis he suffered about two
years ago. are going to find them
selves badly mistaken. Wallace Is
q good boy, he says. but got his
chance before at a time when he,
Noye, was in poor shape and just
determining whether or not he
could stage a comeback
At any rate, the bout is certain
to he one of those rushing, hard
hitting affairs. Both boys are noted
for this kind Of lighting, especially
Eoye.
Tho semi windup between Bum
Steuhmer and Eddie Gilmore is be-
ing looked forward to with as much
enthusiasm as the main 60 is. The
six rounds that this pair will travel
are going to keep the fans on the

LEGION BESTS

AT EASY PACE
Rolls Up S to MOline's 1S-in Initial
Titular Contest Among Tri-
City Pro Teams.

Overwhelming the game Moline
clubhouse aggregation by As to IS
in the initial tri-city professional
championship game on the Rock
Island Y. NJ. C. A. gym floor last
night. the American Legion five OF
this city demonstrated its superior
worth. Throughout the game the
team work of the Islanders and
their lightning speed dazzled and
dismayed the quintet from little
Sweden. At no time did the Wis
itors have a clear field without
handicaps in the score race, and
in like way at no time could they
get around the efficient guarding
or hold back the Legion forwards.
According to their ability, speed
and understanding Of the game, the
Moliners put up an excellent fight.
However, their play was based
mainly upon individual starring,
and not all of them happened to
be stars. The Legion did not main
tain their accustomed pace because
it was not necessary.
Dempsey, formerly of the Amer
lean Legion here, and Danielson,
the Moline center. put up the best
scoring game for the visitors. Dan
ielson threw in some long trials
and two of them succeeded. Demp-
sey took squirt now and then, re-
covering some of his high school

IF YOU WANT.T0
HAVE FOOTBALL
FOR The FALL
We Must Have Baseball This Sum.
mer To Keep Douglas Park in
Trim, Says Flanagan.

Walter Flanagan. who piloted the
Independents to success and has
for the past few days been out cam
paignirg on baseball possibilities
for the coming spring and sum-
mer, received shot in the arm
yesterday which turned him from
a 100 per cent fan on the subject
of a club for Rock Island, to a ma
MAC along that line. In short, he
found that football for Rock Is
land next fall depends solely upon
the city having baseball team to
keep up Duglas park during the
summer months. AS Walter said
today:
ITO have football next fall we
must have baseball this summer.
Nobody has realized this yet, and
| it wasn't until l had gotten deep
into this dope that ! figured it out
The park is deteriorating so fast
that if it stands idle in the sum-
mer Rock Island will have to ge,
a new park to stage its football
tgames in next fall.
Now. the football season S sc
short and the revenue obtained by
it is so limited that it would be i'm.
possible for the football manage
ment to fix up new park for nexl
fall. AS for the city administra.
ton doing such work. they feel as
though they would not be warrant.
ed in making the big repairs or
Douglas park which would be
needed by next fall, and are equal
ly stumped to provide new meet
ing place. They think the place
ought to be put to use this sum
mer, sufficiently to keep it in trim
for the autumn games.
"A little patching and paint ar,
all that would be needed in Apri
or May to put the park back il
10. X. condition. But by fall /;
dozen new boards and supports t
the seating equipment would b.
needed where one of each is neede'
now. For that reason alone I all
willing to do anything possible t
put that park to use during tn
summer months if at all possible.
II find in talking with booster
and business men of Rock Islam
that they think the city should b
represented by a ball team thi
year. All realize that the game i
} not a money making proposition
and everybody would no doubt b
satisfied if the organization jus
} broke even.
Whatever feeling there i
against the Three-Eye league mus
be forgotten. It's either q berth i
that league or nothing. II we kee
on being satisfied taking nothing
that's all well ever get-nothint
II tho national game is beneficia
to this town. it Is to be encouraged
if not it is to be dropped, and tn

Mr.. Flanagan has opened II

to provide . central point for base
, ball work here. Here any sugges
tons will be received from any on
interested, and boosters willing
offer their services in any capacit
toward helping baseball along, ca
