Drive VITA Victory Over Saints

FINAL STANDING.
By FRIER NCOLLISTER

Davenport won the last quad-city
basketball game Of the season from
the st. Ambrose Juniors last night
BY the count Of 22-11. The battle
wss played in the J. B. Young gym
and the place was packed to over
flowing:
Last nights battle did not change
the quad-city standing a great deal.
BY their defeat of Davenport last
week, the Islanders went into first
place and the Iowans' victory mere
ly raises the percentage slightly.
Successful Season.
One of the best quad-city seasons
ever held in these parts was closed
last night. This year, for the first
time, st. Ambrose Juniors and East
Moline were entered on an equal
footing with the three tri-city
teams. Their entry in the race had
little influence on the champion
ship, however, as the Little
Saints" did not play enough games.
and the East Moliners were too
weak.
One Of the surprises Of the
championship fight was the sudden
rise of Moline to prominence as a
winning team. The "Swedes" had
lost all their games until the mid
die Of the season when they got
started and defeated all corners ex-
cept Rock Island.
Saints Overwhelmed.
After the first half was over st,
Ambrose had no chance to take
the game. During the first round
the game was fast and furious. In
spite of the dope being against
them, the "Ambrosians" outplayed
the high men and were ahead wher
quarter time was called. Daven.
port spurted in the second period
and at the end Of the half the score
was 1877 in their facor. In the
last half the school boys ran rioi
and St. Ambrose had no chance.
Layden and Schick were thu
stars for Davenport, each amassint
! three baskets. Coughlin, tn,
scrappy Saint" guard, was tn,
star for the "Ambrosians."

SOuthpaMs Win.

Mangelsdorf's southpaWs contin-
ued their winning streak when they
took three straight from the Selle
brothers bowling team on the Luth-
eran alleys Tuesday evening. The
"grecers" were considerably off
form and the port siders had little
trouble in annexing all three tits.
The feature of the evening was
the steady bowling OF Lou Moeller.
Klockau and Lefty" Hoffman. The
latter is a former member of the
old Harms team. and despite the
fact that he had not bowled for
four seasons, gave a good account
of himself.
Carl Kramer was the hard luck
shooter of the evening. He did not
have his own ''mineralite" at the
alleys, and was forced to use a ball
that did not fit his grip. and his
score suffered accordingly.
Last week the "lefties' trimmed
Clemann's Bauer's three straight.

Fair Lsis Appears.
Glancing idly over the crowd in
the grandstand I lamped q pretty
girl seated between a gray-haired
party and a younger guy. The
young lady was Miss Lois Chan
Ter, Brewster's fair charmer.
v. Morgan also caught sight of
her. His face broke out in a
smile and he raised his cap.
The girl seemed to hesitate for
a second, and then favored him
with a cold, impersonsl stare. 1t
was a cruel, direct cut, and Brew
ster grew pale as he replaced his
cap.

that?" l heard Muddy Clay whis-
per behind me, and he whistled
slowly.

We pulled out of Fir Forks on

But before leaving we glommed
