ELMER BENSON IS BACK WITH
The ISLANDERS; 3 PITCHERS
AND AN INFIELDER ON THE WAY
Manager Jack Tighe Keeps Hitting
the Ball and Team Rounding
Out in Great Shape.

Elmer Benson will sport an Is
lander uniform around the second
base cushion this summer. This
was the cheering news diShed out
by Manager Jack Tighe this morn
ing.
Elmer doesn't need an introduc-
ton to Rock Island fans. During
the season of 1917 he cavorted at
second base in great form. And
added to his ability he is REGARDED
as one of the headiest players in
the minor leagues.
Benson dropped in last week to
talk baseball with Tighe, not with
the object of signing a contract.
He had previously announced his
intention OF retiring from the game
but after about four hours of
pleading and argument Manager
Jack finally got his signature to a
contract.
Elmer plans to move his family
to Rock Island from May, Iowa,
where he has held a position with
a railroad.
Other players announced this
morning as having been signed to
contracts are:
John Hayes, infielder.
John Shackleford, pitcher.
Ben Jones, pitcher.
! Steve krause, pitcher.
Hayes is coming on from San
Diego, where he has been playing
winter baseball. He sends word
that he is in tip-top shape. He is
shortstop or third baseman and
is personally known by Tighe.

the ball shall be brought out and
an attempt at goal kicked from any

BEAU bRuMMEL'
OF SPEED BACK
TO RACE AGAIN
Raw Howard VIII Place His Reli-
ance at Indianapolis on One OF
the Little Peugoot Flyers.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 10
Ray Howard, erstwhile contender
in the early Vanderbilt and grand
prize races on Long Island, who |
essayed a comeback last year via
the speedway route, but failed
through the disfavor of fortune, is
determined to try his luck again ,
this season, and has filed his entry
for the eighth annual international
500-mile race on the Indianapolis
motor speedway, Monday. May 81.
Howard will place his reliance
upon one of the Peugeot fliers built
for the 1914 Grand Prix of LIE Mans
! that was called off due to the out
! break of the late world war. Arthur
Duray, in duplicate Of this whip
pet Of the gasoline sport, finished
second to Rene Thomas in the In
dianapolis contest Of 1914, with an
average of 5000 miles an hour,
consequently Howard is thought to
have an excellent chance for first
honors.
In the elimination trials preced-
ing last years Indianapolis race,
Howard demonstrated that he had
lost none Of his skill and cunning,
qualifying his mount at speed Of
IS miles an hour, very difficult
achievement on the brick turns Of
the Indianapolis track. The race
itself, however. found him out Of
luck, oiling trouble developing in
the first few laps and persisting
throughout the remainder Of the
| fray.
Known as "Beau BrummeL"
To members of the racing fra
ternity, Howard is known as the
Beau Brummel of the speed sport.
his sartorial triumphs being the
hopeless envy Of his rivals. Add to
perfect attire a carefully waxed
moustache and grooming at the
hands of a personal valet, and it
will be appreciated that Howard
lends a touch of picturesqueness to
the sport of benzine scented thrills
that would leave it much less color
full for its loss. Despite his per-
sonal vanities, Howard is recog-
nized as a crack driver, and his
ability at the wheel is not the least
discounted because of his affec-
tons. In the forthcoming FIVE
century. he is expected to figure as
a serious contender all the way.

This is the season of the year when
the Philippines become the playground
for the entire orient. 1t is carnival
season in Manila
In 1908 the first Philippine carnival
was held on historic Wallace Field in
Manila in February, when the climate
of the islands is at its best, and each
succeeding year there has been larg
er and more elaborate celebration.
The 1920, or Victory Carnival, will be
the greatest event Of its sort ever held
anywhere in the Far East.
There are commercial and govern
ment exhibits in connection with the
carnival, and on no other occasion is it
possible to gain at once such COM
