Through Initial Workout at
Moline.

Tommy Comiskey. who meets
Jimmy Nuss before the Davenport
legion next Wednesday night, is
expected to arrive here next Mon
day TO finish his training for the
battle. Nuss reached Moline yes
terday from DePere, Wis, his home,
and worked out yesterday after

friends WIS there to see him go
through his initial PAGES.
Indications point to a caDacitv

first preliminary gets under way at

affair is a plum tri-city promoters
have been trying to pick and the
success of the legion in landing it
is proof of its desire TO give the
best.
Comiskey got back to Chicago

bons. you know. is an uncle of
Tommy and when you see the lat
ter in the ring you get a good idea
of what the elder is like. Comiskey
has absorbed much of the fighting
ability of Gibbons.
An effort is being made to have
Gibbons accompany Comiskey to
Davenport
Nuss announces he weighs 1856
pounds. which is one pound above
the weight he has agreed to make
for Comiskey. Jimmy says he can
make that pound disappear at any
time. Moline boxing fans will
travel to Davenport in large num-
bers to see him in action. Nuss is
practically regarded as a Moline
boy because OF his residence there
last year.

Athletic authorities at Iowa uni

State inta post-season game to de-
termine western champions. They
take the stand that Ohio's defeat by
Oberlin at the start of the season
as compared to Iowa's clean rec
ord, entities the latter to undisput-
ed honors. This was the opinion
expressed at a meeting yesterday
afternoon of the Iowa athletic
board.
1t is very unfortunate that the
schedule does not bring these two
teams together. 1t is even more
unfortunate that there doesn't
seem to be a chance for such Il
meeting.
If the two teams keep their
slate clean, then Ohio State will
generally be regarded as the
champion. 1t doesn't seem pos
sible that either Northwestep or
Illinois will be able to upset the
dope. Northwestern should be
easy for Iowa. 1t is certain that
Illinois will give State a battle.

emerge victorious.
Wisconsin, because of its tie

Ohio State has the clever outfit in

battle with Buffalo on Thanksgiv-

ton might appeal to Halas. And
Walter proceeded Immediately to
sound out the possibility of such a
contest.
II HaIas can't saTvy that kind of

OVER REP REss|0N
Of PROSTITUTION
nv The Associated Press.)

Geneva, Sept. 20 (by the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The league of ma
tons assembly today decided to
ask delegates to solicit from their
governments full powers to sign
during tho sessions the conven-
lions for the repression OF the
white slave traffic.
The French delegation held. this
was equivalent to the negotiation
Of the international treaties by the
league, pointing out the danger
of such procedure and insisting
that the governments ought to be
allowed at least two or three
months in which to study the new
conventions.
The disagreement was based
upon the report respecting the
white slave traffic, presented by
the convention he'd in Geneva last
June, dealing with the age of con-
sent and providing greater facili-
ties for the extradition of persons
accused of this traffic and also
more stringent regulations in con-
nection with immigration and en-
igration. A. j. Balfour, Great Bril-
tain, and M. Hatnotux, France,
engaged in an oratorical duel,
which the British delegate who
was in favor of the action taken
won. Only twenty-five states, how
ever, voted in the affirmative, the
other twenty-six states abstaining
or not being represented.

ganization of the league has vir-
tually agreed on an Increase In
