MADISON TEAM IS here FOR
TWO GAMES WITH ISLANDERS;
TIcHE SIGNS A new CATCHER
Jack Parrish, Former Big Leagsef,
Coming From Sioux Fails,
South Dakota.

Tho Madison team of the South
Dakota league arrived In Rock Is
land shortly before noon today.
weather conditions this morning
were anything but favorable for
the scheduled clash between Madi-
son and the Islanders at Douglas
park this afternoon. but Manager
Jack Tighe said that the game
would be played il things looked
better this afternoon. Jack is
counting on the games today and
tomorrow to put the finishing
touches to the spring work OF his
players and leave them in fit con-
dition to start the seasoa q TAurs-
day at Bloomington.
Manager Ralph Works OF the
Madison team expects TO relieve
Tighe of some of the latter's sur
plus talent. Jack figures that in to-
days and tomorrow's contests he
will be able to size up his players
to good advantage and cut those
loose whom he thinks should lave
further seasoning in lower class
league than the Three-Eye.
Games at $3.50.
The combats with the visitors
are scheduled to start at $50
O'Clock. These games give promise
of being lively tits in view Of the
fact that the South Dakota aggre-
cation has been in spring training
in st. Louis. So fall in line, fans.
and glimpse the Islanders in their
final spring action preparatory to
the start Of the pennant campaign.

be sufficient menu for one brief
season.
In the meanwhile next Saturdays
first official clash may be the de-
cisive issue in the seven main in
ternational events of the year.
The Whirl Of the Turnstile.
Around the metropolitan COM
munity last Sunday there were
$4,000 at one ball game, 10000 at
another. 10000 out playing golf,
$1,000 lured out by the Kramer
Eating bicycle races, and thousands
of others watching or playing anna
teur ball games
Outside of the motorists there
were over $50 coo playing or watch
ing some form Of sport, and spring
had barely taken peak through
the lattice. II 1919 was a sport
ing revival, 1920 will be sport
ing simeon.
The Reds VIII Deserve It
No National league ball club has
repeated since the Giants turned
the trick in 1911-'l2'13.
The Reds this season have a
good, iusty crack at an encore, and
| if they can turn the trick they Will
deserve all the applause there is.
| For they are facing tougher COM
petition than any National league
club has drawn in good many
years.
Pittsburgh and New York will
both be strong. So will Brooklyn
and Chicago And st. Louis, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia are showing
unexpected strength.
1t will be a tough field to battle
through, but last season the Reds
were at their best when the going
developed knots. They were at
their best in the show down series
against the Giants and later against
the White Sox. In their 20 decisive
games against these two clubs they
won 10 and lost seven, a winning
percentage Of $50.
And with Pat Moran guiding their
destinies it has yet to be shown
that any club in either league Is
good enough to stop them.

RING bATTLER
He Has Beaten Such Coed Men as
Clint Flynn and Herb Brodie
in 10 Round Fights.

In Mickey kerst, Chicago light
weight, formerly OF St. Paul, who
meets AL Van Ryan here next Tues
day night, the fans Of Rock Island
will have the assurance Of, wit
Messing one of the most pleasing
lightweights in the boxing game.
The youngster, only % years old.
started boxing around st. Paul, the
town made famous for the score OF
coed fighters 1t has turned out,
about two years ago and after sew
eral successful bouts in his home
town, decided to come to Chicago
as the chances were greater for
his success around the Windy City
So Mickey low claims Chicago as
his home
Kerst's first bout with boys of
any note was against the rugged
Clint Flynn, whom he defeated in
10 rounds at LaSalle. Flynn's man
ager thought to get even by match
ing Ciint's brother, Maurice, with
kerst, and these two fought great
10-round draw at Muskegcn the
latter part of 1919.
From that time on Kerst has
made great strides among the
lightweights and has been meeting
every good boy in his class. He has
always been a big favorite where
ever he has appeared, as he, has the
style that appeals to all boxing
fans, and that is OF fighting from
bell to bell.
One Of the most notable bouts
Kerst has had this year. was with
the tough Charlie Metric at Mil
waukee. Jan. z. In this bout Kerst
broke his hand in the second round
and continued fighting until the end,
holding his own all the way and
holding Metric even in one Of the
greatest 1O-round draws ever seen
in q Milwaukee ring.
kerst's last bout was with Herb
Brodie, whom he defeated in 10
rounds at Grand Ravids, Mich last
Friday night.

HIGHWAY GRANT
 TOTALS SIO9,l94 S43,l94 ADDITIONAL AID Is Granted Damascus, VilOnia and Palarm Road Improvement Dis
 tricts in This County.

The three road improvement dis tricts in Faulkner county on which construction work is in progress have been granted state and federal aid aggregating $109,194.42, or approxi- mately $2,000 per mile for the 54 miles under construction.
 Official notice has been received here of the second grant of state and fed eral aid to these districts, which was made by the advisory board of the state highway commission on October 90. The total grant made on that date was $43, ,194.42, distributed as follows: Conway and Damascus, $19,- 631 1.20; Conway and Palarm, $10 0,315.80 and Conway and Vilonia, $13,247.42.
 In January of this year the high way commission made its first appro- priation to these districts, allowing $66,000 to the three, distributed as follows: Conway and Damascus, $25,- 900; Conway and Palarm, $21 ,000; Conway and Vilonia, $20,000
 This makes total for each district as follows: Conway and Damascus, $44, ,631.20; Conway and Palarm, $31,- 315.S0; Conway and Vilonia, $33, ,247.42.

CITY ACRE YIELDS
 A BALE OF COTTON

Searcy, Nov. 8.-A bale of cotton to the acre, cultivated by a man 65 years old and picked by his wife who is 55, is the unusual record made by MT. and Mrs. J. E. Garfield, who live with in the corporate limits of Searcy. The cotton was sold, bringing $130, the seed being sold for S14.
 MT. Garfield, who is a mail messen- ger, cultivated the land, which is good upland, in Rowden seed, using 200 pounds of commercial fertilizer. Mrs Garfield, who weighs only 125 pounds, picked the cotton, and made such job of it, that it was considered of extra quality on account of the clean, good condition it was in.
 MT. and Mrs. Garfield have been married 40 years, and have reared eight children. Mrs Canfield was only 15 at the time of her marriage, and her husband claims proudly that she was first class tailor when they were married, being able to make mans suit of clothes like an expert.

DUCK HUNTER IN
 NARROW ESCAPE

Steve Mount of Conway had mar row escape from serious injury this morsing while hunting in the Cadron bottoms when Conley Jackson, with whom Mount had gone hunting, acci- dentally fired at him with 12-guage shotgun loaded with buckshot. Only one of the buckshot struck Mount, the others tearing a hole in the ground about 12 inches from his head. The shot that hit him struck just at the corner of his left eye and passed under the eye lid, lodging against the base of his nose. It is thought the eye ball is uninjured.
 According to the story told by the young men, they had gone duck hunt ing in the bottoms. Mount was some distance from Jackson and was lying on the ground concealed behind a clump of bushes. He raised his arm over his head, and young Jackson mis- took the khaki sleeve for a gray squirrel and fired at it. Fortunately, Jackson missed his aim a little or the accident would have been more serious.
 Mount will go to Little Rock to- night and have a specialist remove the shot from under the eye lid.
