SPEAKER SAYS
Fighting Spirit May
Pull the Team

BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

New York, Sept. 24.-Tris Speak

wise the Cleveland Indians could
be counted out of the American
| league pennant race right now.
Having dropped the first game OF
Crucial series" with the Yanks
and with Stan Coveleskie, the first
man of the pitching staff defeated
the Indians ought to be in a sad
plight.
after he had lost the first two
games in the worlds series last fall
in Brooklyn, Speaker said:
What is a little thing like two
games? Just wait
The gray-haired leader of the
worlds champions fell back on the
same doctrine today with a short
Just wait. There are three more
games
The first battle yesterday was
witnessed by crowd of 1900 and
the second conflict today promises
to draw a crowd of 10000.
This morning before the fog had
lifted off the Harlem river a little
band of champion fans were out
side by the gate.
Higgins was expected to call
upon Carl Mays, the submarine
hurler, to go after the second game
of the series but Speakers pitch
ing selection was not so sure. The
Indian chieftain had Mails ready
but he gave no indication of his
choice.
The Babe won the game himself
yesterday, with three doubles and
three runs.

KANSAS PASTOR
GREAT DEVOTEE
OF FISTIC GAME

Chanute, Kan The Rev Earl A
Blackman's annual resignation
again has been rejected by the con-
gregation of the Christian church
OF Chanute.
Once a year, regularly, since the
war, the Rev. Mr.. BlaCkman has
given his parishiOners the choice
of accepting his advocacy of box
ing bouts, dancing and pool, or Of
hiring a new pastor. While the
vote each year has been heavily IN
his favor, it is by no means unani-
nous.
You will find me in the boxing
ring. the dance halls, the lodge
halls, the pool halls. perhaps in the
alleys, or wherever men cOngTe-
gate, if l continue to preach to the
Christian church of Chanute," was
the ultimatum contained in the min
listers recent resignation.
Not only was the resignation re-
jeCted,-the congregation voted its
pastor an increase in salary. This
he refused to accept, declaring he
was amply paid, and that he earns
something in addition TO b S 81
airy by refereeing boxing bouts. He
makes no secret of the fact Furtd-
ermore. he declares, he has a
double reason for enhancing his
earning capacity.
Twins recently came TO our
house." he said. IF some person
is to be paid for refereeing and l
do the work satisfactorily, 1 ought
to have the money to help support
those twins"
His services as a referee are to-
day in much demand in Kansas,
Missouri and Oklahoma. His pres
ence in the ring is regarded as
guarantee of a clean fight His in
fiuence in making boxing d pOpu-
lar sport has been felt throughout
this section
1t was while he was chaplain
of the 18th infantry of the 35th
Division in France that the Rev.
Mr.. Blackman became a deyOtee q
the fistic game. He was known as
the fighting paTsOn of the S5th'
and justly SO, for he not only super
vised but engaged IN many boxing
bouts.
In his own church the Chanute
minister has put into practice his
theory that the church should 5pon-
sor both boxing and dancing in the
church.

Especial Correspondence

Cambridge, Ill, Sept. 24.-Osco
yesterday laid claim to the Henry
county 1921 baseball championship,
when Cambridge was beaten, TO
l, in thinning game which easily
takes front place among the many
goo4 ball games played in this sec

made in the second inning. Cam
bridge earned it's run on double
by Irwin, followed by a single by
Johnson. For CISCO, Ihrig reached
first on an error, moved around 20
third on infield plays and scored On
a wild throw by Johnson.
The game see-sawed inning after
inning, with CISCO having three eX-
cellent chances to score, but spark
ling support held Schatzwon
steady. Schatzwon pitched a good
game, going the entire IA innings.
He was hit consistently, but held
up the runners on the bases ex-
cellently. He struck, out four men
and gave only three bases on balls.
Kennedy pitched a strong game
into the eighth inning. He was
hurt in fielding a ball hit to him
and was relieved by Benton, who
held Cambridge helpless for Z in
nings. He gave no bases on balls
and struck out II. Kennedy in I
innings struck out batters and
walked three men.
This victory gives CISCO the So
called Henry county championship,
and closes the baseball season IN
the county, as all teams are to dis
band

ISLAND CTTY,S END SEASON.


The Island Citys have brought
their 1921 baseball season to a
close, Manager Mangelsdorf having
been unable to schedule a con-
test for tomorrow, as he had plan
ned. The team enjoyed d sue
cessful season, having won 10 of

conceded to have been the best
semi-pro team in Rock Island and
were one of the best in the county.
Bill Fisher led the Island Citys
in hitting, his mark for the sea-
son being .437. Hanshaw, John
son, Cook" Smith and Ed Daniel
son hit 300 or better. "Moke" and
Wallie Kent, the versatile broth
ers, led in stolen bases, the former
pilfering II in 10 games while the
latter stole II in a similar number
OF contests.
Among the pitchers, Bill Dan
ielson won five and lost two, Man
gelsdorf, three and one; Hause, one
and two; and Kane, one and none.

Coincident with the announce
ment of the new admission price to
Douglas park for Independent
games this fall, Manager Walter
Flanagan spilled some pleasant in
formation concerning new men
signed to contracts.
ELL Feurborn, a 6-foot giant of
100 pounds, or thereabouts, who
learned his football at Washington
university, ST. Louis, the producer
of Jimmie Councilman and Frat"
Potthoff, and who later graduated
from the fall pastime at North
western university, Evanston, is
one. Another is jug" Earps of
Monmouth. Ill, a brother of Fred
die Earps, of the old D. A. e. team
Of Davenport Earps weighs PIP
pounds and has a laundering for
the center position.
Feuerborn is the better known of
tho two. Close followers of the
game will recall that he established
an enviable reputation as an end
at Northwestern in 1919. After
that season he got tangled up in
a baseball controversy with the
college authorities, growing out of
his signing contract with ma
tor league club to play first base.
Flanagan got in touch with him a
few days ago, having located him
on the Joplin baseball team of the
Western league. Feurborn agreed
to come on when the season ended.
In college he displayed excep-
tional talent as an end, particular
ly in catching of forward passes.
He can pull a floating football out
of the ozone in much the same man
ner as he catches a baseball. In
addition he is recognized as ex
ceptionally fast for his size.
Earps is coming on the recon-
of Lane Bradford, form
er Knox college player. He is said
to be a real star at the center
post. The fact stands that if he is
as good as his brother Fred, he will
not have to wait long for the
stamp of approval.

One Practice Today
Wound Up Work
in Detroit.
Especial to The Argus.)

1
Detroit, Mich, Sept 24.-Bil
Marshall, manager of the Detrol
Tigers, professional football team
permitted only one practice ses
sion today, this being the fina
drill before the squad departs fol
Davenport tonight. Marshall is
doing out severe sessions to his
husky squad in an effort to have
the team in the best of condition
for the opening game against Rock
Island on Oct 2.
There were close to 500 specta-
tors in the stands today and eff
forts were made to get enough fans
to accompany the team to warrant
the chartering~ of a special train
Railroad officials were consulted
and if Tiger rooters can muster to-
gether 1875 supporters they will
have a Tiger Special" TO take
them to Rock Island to witness the
Oct. 2 game.
The team looked good today.
Guy, Washington and Jefferson
star, was at center; Carmen and
Talman were at guards; Goetz and
Horning were at the tackles; Voss
and Peach, former University Of
Michigan end, were on the flanks;
Stobbs and Dunn alternated at
quarter; two sets of backs, one
heavy and the other light and fast,
were alternated during the drills.
First on the program was set
ting up exercise, led by Foster
Walker, Tiger trainer. Then came
sprinting and lodging with the
whole squad taking part. Follow
ing this the line was taken to one
side and sent through a long drill
on tactics of attack and defense by
Shorty" Longman, star Michigan
player of years ago, who is help
ing Marshall with the Tigers. The
backs were drilled in breaking up
forward passes and in forming in
reference. The session ended
with short sprints, which have re-
placed the customary running of
several laps at the end of each
session. Marshall believes that
short sprints will get a man in
much better physical condition
than all the long distance running
in the world.
They Cheer, Too.
The Tigers are organizing
section and a prize has
been offered for the best yell. This
contest closes next Wednesday
and by that time Tiger rooters ex-
pect to be formed into a unit which
will be capable of surprising in
brilliancy of effort and volume of
noise the best organized college

Der of yells have been sent in by
