meet to be held tomorrow night in
the Augie gym. The chances for
the Islanders to come out with the
heavy end Of the score are good.
The locals have been practicing at
Augustana for the past two weeks
and are. by this time, onto all of
the curves and twists of the track.
Moline had workout there last
night for the first time this season.
Rock Island has an evenly bal
anced team this year and Coach
klmmetl is expecting to copy
points in many of the events. Can
tain Milstead is expected to take
the shotput by everyone who has
seen the big boy work out. He is
throwing the iron pill away every
time he losses it and neither Dav-
export nor Moline has a man who
can equal him.
Harper, the man who made a
name for himself in the century
and 50-yard dash last year, is also
back and running in. good form.
Huston. another bird - color, will
run the dashes along with Har-
per.
In the distance Duff1n is the Is
lander's main hope. He is running
the mile this year in good form
and it is thought that he will Mace
in that event.
From all accounts the red and
blue squad is extra strong this
year. Davenport, however. has a
habit of spreading that kind of line
around before every event and the
Islanders are waiting until Satur-
day night to pass their opinion of
the Towans, Schick, winner OF both
the indoor and outdoor half-miie
last year, is captain of the Daven-
port squad.

squad last night. nothing phenom-

meet.

Pete NARROW outjabbed AL futile
OF Philadelphia last night in 10
rounds at the Illinois theatre. but
his punches lacked the necessary
force to slow up the rugged east
erner. futile kept forcing the fight
and was able to land harder, if less,
blows than the clever St. Louis well
I ter. On points alone NARROW was
+ the winner but the gameness and
willingness of futile Offset this and
he is entitled to draw.
AL Van Ryan of St Paul handed
Battling johnson of Moline a ter
rife lacing in eight rounds in the
semi windup. Van Ryan became a
popular favorite in Rock Island
several weeks ago when he kayoed
Frankie Kelly of Chicago and he
lived up to the expectations of the
Islander bugs last night. AS early
as the third round he had johnson
In bad way and in the fourth the
Moliner was groggy from the stiff
punches he was stopping with his
Jaw. Van Ryan was out in the lead
in every round except the first,
when the boys exchanged for an
even break.
80 Loses His Tooth.
~ In the second round Van Ryan
lapded flush ON Johnson's jaw with
his left and one of Johnson's teeth
was forced through the lip. AL
though in pain and bleeding pro-
fusely, the Moline fighter contin-
ued to come on gamely. When the
final gong sounded his facial fea-
lures were badly misplaced. The
right eye was closed, his nose was
damaged and his lip was in need
OF attention. Van Ryan was not
marked. He fought a cool. clean
battle. He measured his distance
for his punches in an effort to land
haymaker. but several well-in-
tended uppercuts were avoided clev-
erly by Johnson.
Emmett Sheehan was much toe
experienced as ring man for
Young Green to cope with him
Emmett tented and Green was
caught off his balance. The Dav.
exporter was knocked down in The
second round and in the third HI
kissed the canvas three times be

Clever Work.
Pete NARROW exhibited about the
classiest bit of footwork that has
ever been witnessed in a Rock Is
land ring. He did not waste 10
OF energy in keeping away from
Tuttle's well-intended punches bu
worked easily the entire 10 rounds
He showed an exceptional clever
ness in blocking everything tina
futile sent to the jaw. NARROW
left found the fasteners face re
peatedly without a return TIL
fighters battled in a remarkabl,
clean manner throughout. Cleal
breaks it was and clean break
they did.
The semi windup came I'D to al
expectations of the fans as slug
ging match. Van Ryan appeared Il
have the larger following but No
line bugs were out in great mum
bers to cheer for their home boy.
The work of Referee Pat Diet;
was the subject of favorable com
ment. Pat kept the fighters OF
edge and during the entire evening
there was not an idle moment.

A Christmas truce in Ireland was

There is a general sentiment, strong.

Territorial ReprisaIs Are Likely II
Monarch Is Enthroned-Powers
Claim Ability to Amend
Clauses in Sevres Treaty.

London-The Allied Supreme coun.
Gil publicly announced it would with
draw financial support from Greece
should former King Constantine be re-
turned in the plebiscite, and consider
ed territorial reprisals should he be
enthroned
Briefly summarized, the position of
the Allies is that they want to warn
the Greeks vigorously that their gov
ernment must conform to a great ex-
tent to the wishes of the Allies and
that if the admonitions relative to
withdrawal of financial support are in
effective, the Allies are prepared to
take even sterner measures which
were also discussed.
Treaty Not Ratified.
AS the Sevres treaty has not been
ratified it is within the power of the
Allies to modify it and they are keep
ing this fact to the fore at least as re-
CARDS Smyrna. It is known that some
OF those at the conference expressed
the belief that Smyrna would be safer,
from the Allied standpoint, in Turkish

under Constantine.
The waeh was expressed, however,
Anot to go so far as to threaten the
Greeks before the plebiscite with re-
taking part of the territory allotted
them under the Sevres treaty.
While the premiers are in accord
that the sternest measures should be
taken if Constantine is returned they
have not agreed on what stand to take
If the Greeks choose Prince George
for their king. In any event they con-
slider another conference will be neces-
sary to decide what shall be done if
Constantine wins or what steps shall
be taken if the Greeks vote otherwise.
Greek Cabinet Surprised.
Athens-The note sent by the
British, French and italian govern
ments to, Greece Thursday concerning
the possible return of former King
Constantine to power and the relations
: between them and Greece in such an
event, caused CONSERVATION here. It
came as complete surprise to the
