Sporting Editor, The Argus, Dear
Sir: The Davenport Shamrocks.
without a doubt the fastest semi
pro team in Davenport, has re-
organized and would like to meet
some Illinois team, Oct 9. This is
the only open date on the Sham
rocks schedule and as all other
dates are taken by the Iowa team.
the Shamrocks' management would
like to cross the state line on this
dale.
With practically every member
of last years championship team
back in line the Irishmen are
working out daily to uphold their
record of last year. Out of nine
games played, the Rock Island
Rialtos were the only eleven able
to cross their goal line.
Many stars may be found in the
Shamrocks' lineup. The Norton
brothers, Coughlin, Barnes, keat-
ing. Murphy and O'Donnen played
high school football together for
three years and with a team built
out of these veterans much trouble
can be looked for by the opposition.

The Decatur Herald says of the
Independents: Rock Island will
present a powerful team. After
three weeks af hard training, dur
ing which time the men were given
the acid test in a game against the
Detroit Tigers, one of the strongest
grid machines in the country, the
squad is in the pink of condition
and eagerly awaiting the clash with
the Staleys
with the exception of one or two
players, every man on the Rock Is
land squad formerly shone on col
lege gridirons and several gained
mention in the selection of all
American teams.
"On paper there is not a weak
spot in the Islander machine With
8 line composed of men ranging in
weight from ITO to 200 pounds, the
forward wall which Captain Cough
lin has assembled to turn back the
rushes of opposing teams, appears
to be as strong as any club in the
football association. The backf1eld
men are fast, good line plungers,
brilliant open field runners and are
exceptionally good at receiving and
delivering forward passes"

Chicago, Oct. THE third clash
of the two Chicago clubs to decide

PEP OF GIANTS
is LACKING AS
YANkS KEEP ON
Great Form of Amer.
leans Too Much of
Surprise.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.
United Press Staff Correspondent. J


New York. Oct, Heads up, feet
stepping high, Miller Higgins and
his Yankees hove briskly into the
third day of the Worlds Series to-
day.
Webbing behind on weary legs,
the Giants of John McGraw beat
a rather disconsolate tramp, two
big games in the rear.
With seven of their heavy hit
tiers hitless in two games, with the
plate untouched in Is innings, and
with two OF their best pitchers
beaten, the Giants bore nothing in
their demeanor to back up: Were
not discouraged"
The great form shown by the
Yankee pitchers, the impregnable
defense of the infield that hasn't
wobbled once. and a daring game
of wild running on the bases that
completely surprised the Giants,
has made the Yanks a 3 to l fav-
orite in the betting.
Since the Yanks first took the
field Wednesday they have been
the favoriteS of the home crowd,
but their supporters did not back it
up with money.
The great reception given the
American league champions when
they appeared in the first two games
had a very visible effect in fiat
tening the spirits of the Giants.
They must have felt that they
were on an enemy field instead
of within the confines OF their own
home
The backs of the Giants are real
Iy fat against the well known wall
today.
One more victory by the Yanks
will make their cause almost hope
less
The fighting spirit which brought
the McGTaw tribe to victory in the
National league race when the
Pittsburgh Pirates seemed to have
it cinched, has been missing in this
series. Compared to the dash and
vim of the Yanks' play, the Giants
look like they are "dogging it."
Fred Toney. the heavyweight
hurler of the McGraw band, will do
the hurting for the Giants, accord
ing to the plans this morning.
"Toney for three innings and
then trot out Barnes and the re-
serves" a Yank fan yelled, from
the stands after the second game.
Either the sailor. Bob Shawkey,
or the Dortsider, Harry Harper, will
do the pitching for the Yankees.
ShaWkey has had a sore arm
nearly all season but he looked
great in his last start against the
Athletics. If his control is right,
Harper ought the have no trouble
in beating the National leaguers

Rock Island is the only tri-city
high school team that will play on
foreign soil tomorrow, when it will
invade Galesburg territory to stage
what fs expected to prove one of
the toughest games on the local
schedule
Coach KimmeFs warriors are
anxiousiy awaiting the tussle.
Alter q week of hard practice and
training to strengthen the weak
spots, they are expected to stage a
winning battle with the Knox coun-
ty city.
The game should be close in any
event The local eleven has al
ways encountered real opposition
At Galesburg. The winning of this
game would be great victory in
the eyes OF the aggregation as well
as the local followers Of high school
football.
The lineup used last Saturday
against Geneseo will be pitted
against the GaIesburg club. With
these players in regular position
during the week they have devel-
oped something worth looking at
Captain Howard DOMAIN will be
at center and Lamp and Pannel1
will be at the wing posts Lamp
will undoubtedly do the punting.
March, who in his first year is
showing some real stuff at right
tackle, and Hall, in the other
tackle, are capable of fine defensive
playing Afvine and Mayer at the
guards are showing form. The en-
tire backfe1d displayed class in the
Geneseo game. Shelter, at quarter
back, is showing generalship. Hun
ter, the speed demon at right half
back, Olson at left half and Rinck
at fulIback should make a good
showing against Galesburg by line
plunges. Chambers and Searfe will
make the trip for utility at the
ends, Reed for the backfeId and
ClarkEfor the line.
Genese0 Meets ID. I'll. s.
A game of interest is that or Dav-
export and Geneseo at Davenport
The result will give line on the
respective merits of Rock Island

before the close of the season. To
morrow at Browning field the
Swedes will meet Ottawa high.
