suffer drubbing that extra tables were
set IN outside rooms and In the bal
conles. The only notable absences were
those of Gov. Miller. Mayor Hylan and
Police Commissioner Enright. Possibly
the Mayor and Mr.. Enright were de-

Team.
BY rRIER MCoLLIsrER

After q week OF hard drill Rock
Island high school basket tossers
will be ready for the Kewanee
squad tomorrow night. The Is.
landers have improved their pass
ing, which was. very poor during
the first part Of the Moline game.
The Kewanee team has so far
this season played no, team that
the Islanders have met nor are
any OF the Kewanee scores known
here.
The Islander second squad left
this afternoon to play Toulon. Fol-
lowing are the men who made the

fer.
Iowans versus GeneeeO.
Davenport meets Geneseo tonight
in the ]. B. Young gym in a game
that should be very close and hard
fought. Moline plays LaSalle-Peru
at LaSalle. and the st. Ambrose
juniors go to Wilton.
None of these games, with the
exception, Of Davenport-G eneseo,
has any importance in the quad
city race. Last Saturday the Lit
tie Saints" were defeated by Cen
eseo. 1913. Geneseo showed that
it must be reckoned with by the
other quad-city teams. The team
has splendid offensive.
Unless the Iowans have improv-
ed since last Saturday, they stand
a good chance Of being defeated.
The work against Cambridge was
far from good and the Davenport
ers were victorious only by a
three-point lead.
Light on Title Race. 81
The score Of the game tonight
between Davenport and Geneseo
will give tangible dope on the To-
cal championship. The COMPARE
son between the score tonight and
the count Of the St. Ambrose Cen
eseo game will show the relative
standing of these two teams. AS
Davenport meets the Saints" next
Wednesday, this dope will be i'm
portant. If Davenport can win, it
will have a big edge, as the Am
brosians" we're unable to defeat
GeneseO.
The game tonight will also have
some bearing on the Davenport

Tonight; Bradley Tenorrew-
Augies Full Of Fight.

Coach Swedberg sent his basket
ball squad through q light practice
Yesterday afternoon in prepare
ton Tor the coming game tonight
and tomorrow Ehen Augustana
meets the Monmouth and Bradley
quintets ON the home floor.
Yesterdays practice consisted Of
half an hours drill at pivoting, and
another half hour of scrimmage.
All the men are in firstclass condi-
ton. and hopes are running high
that the team will cop two more
Victories in this weeks games.
Monmouth Tonight.
Augie will meet a strange foe in
the fracas tonight with Monmouth.
Little Is known of their ability
along basketball lines, except that
they humbled the st. Ambrose
quintet early in the season by a
score 0f % to- 3. The school is
always well represented in athlet-
les apd- tonight's game promises
to be fast and exciting.
Augustana and Bradley will
meet for the first time this season
tomorrow night. Great rivalry ex-
letics, but this is especially true in
letics, sbut this isespec:ally true in
basketball. The Bradley team hum
bled Augie in the, first game Of
last season, winning by a margin
Of tive points. but in the return
game Augustana was the victor,
overwhelming the Peorians to The
tune Of II to II.
5 This year was different story.
Augustana had six letter men play
ing on last years squad, in COM
parison to two at the present sea-
son. Bradley, on the other hand.
has four old men on its present
lineup.
Although the team which will
represent Augustana in Saturdays
rtusslc with Bradley will give ev-
erything it has. experienced men
are a great asset to a team, and
here Bradley has the advantage.
This is realized by Coach Swed-
berg 'as well as the men on the
Augustana team, and the fight will
be just that much more evident in
tomorrow's contest.

By HENRY 1. FARRELL.

UNITED Press StafI' Correspondent
New York, Jan. 1.-THE first
round of the Dempsey Carpenter
battle for the heavyweight boxins
championship of the world may bf
fought in the. courts.
Harry s. Hecheimer, attorney
and guardian Of the boxers. inter
ests under the original contract,
has served notice thatN1e may bring
suit, against any Of the three pro-
moters-Tex Richard. William A.
Brady AND Charles B. Cochran
who seeks to withdraw his. backing
from the $500, 900 match.
How They Stand.
As the matter stood today, A1ady
has definitely effaced himself,
Cochran's position is uncertain and
Richard has declared his intention
of going through with the match
if he has to stage 1t singlehanded.
The latter expected to hear from
Cochran during the, day and e4-
pressed confidence that the London
sportsman would abide by the orig
inal articles of agreement.
According to advices from Lon
don. Cochran is i'll but has author
lied his secretary to state he had
not been officially informed of
Brady's withdrawal and that he
stands ready to proceed with the
match under the stipulated ar
rangements providing a purse Of
100000. :
Pact Held Valid.

sey boxing bout is considered still
valid by Charles B. Cochran, til,
English boxing promoter. a party
to the agreement. it was declared
in a statement authorized By hfs Of

rams associates said they had no
knowledge Of authority for William
A. Brady Of New York to speak in
Mr.. Cochran's behalf.
The statement reads:
"As far as NJ. Cochran is con-
cerned the original contract sor
the Dempsey-Carpentier fight holds.
II Messrs. Brady Or Richard have
withdrawn. that is beyond our con-
troll, but If it is true, Mr.. Cochran
offers 100000 pounds sterling to
stage the fight IN IOndon
Cochran's View.
1t was stated that Cochran had
not heard directly from Brady, but
was inclined to believe the ruling
of the New York state boxing com
mission as to a maximum admis-
sion fee to the fight might have
caused him to get out from up-
der" u.
