Bidding For Fistic Title

ROCK lSlAndS interest In bOXiul
is heightened by reason of Mix,
Dundee This is Mikes home. Hi.
parents live here and hes grew Il
manhood amid local surroundings
IL Mike reaches the top of his pro.
fession-the championship of the
featherweights-t city will share
in his glory.
At present, Mike is resting al
his home here, waiting for a dis
located right thumb to come around
to form again. 1t was injured in
his bout Dec. 2 with Gene Watson
in Rock Island. Possibly by the
middle of January Mike will be
ready again, and his first step will
| be trip east to display his class
/ in Madison Square Garden, New
York. Mike has high hopes 1922
will bring him a match with Cham
| pion Johnny Kilbane, and if it does
| Rock Island is confident a new
king will be crowned.
Mike engaged in 16 bouts in
1921. He won five by knockouts,
| his victims being frankie Kick, All
Walker, Joe Berger, Sammy Wade
and frankie Tucker Four bouts
were to a referees decision, all of
which were awarded to Mike. He
beat Battling Barraree, Teddie
Murphy, Jack Doyle and Kid Her
man. The others were no decision
affairs and in no instance was the
newspaper verdict contrary to
Mike.
Mike has been boxing since 1917.
He is not yet % years of age. He
began his career under the man
agership of Peanuts" Sch;eberI of
Rock Island. Peanuts" had him
until Mike met and defeated Johnny
Ertle in Rock Island, April 3, 1919.
Then he switched to Emil Thirty.
who had piloted Packey Mcfarland.
Mike and Emil hung together until
he. fought Gene Watson, July p,
1921. Along came Dick Curley, |
East Chicago matchmaker, and
Mike signed articles with him.
Curley is capable of getting pub !
licity in the big fight centers for
his protege, and that goes a long |
way toward getting the attention
OF the champion. Give Mike the
chance and he'll make it good.
Here is the 1921 record of the
boy Whom ROCK Island expects to
attain the pinnacle of his class:

BY j. j.. HUGHES.

The boxing game had an uncom-
monty rough voyage in Rock Island
in 1921. Several Intellectual efforts
were made by various promoters tC
re-establish the sport upon the ba-
sis enjoyed when the late Babe
Meanor held the reins of leader
ship. These were handicapped by
general economic conditions, and
| by a few displeaSing exhibitions
that tended to cool the fervor of
| the fans Too, there was the lack
| of a building really suitable for
| bouts, such as IN the days of the
old Empire arena.
Rabid followers of the glove
| found some satisfaction. however.
| in the rehabilitation of things fistic
in Davenport. There the game
fiourished-if such term can be
used in these times-to a fair ex-
tent. The novelty of witness
ing mitt contests in their own
backyard appealed to sport
lovers of Davenport, and new de-
voices of the manly art of self-de-
Tense were created thereby.

The game began the year in Rock
Island under distressing circum-
