PRES. HARDIN
DEVELOPING AS
A GOLF PLAYER

Chicago, April %. President
Harding is a mighty good golfer,
according to George O'Neil, Chica-
go professional. who has returned
from an invitational golf week with
the nations chief executive. O'Ne1l,
who trained number of champion
ship golfers before he retired from
active teaching to enter business,
played a number of rounds with the
president at Washington. He said
that the match play temperament.
of the president was even better
than his medal scoring ability, al
though Mr.. Harding made the last
nine holes one day in Al, which is
far better than a mere dufTer can
do. President Harding is a hard
hitter. and is improving his game
so that O'Neil predicts that he will
soon be scoring constantly in the
SOS. He does not drive such a
long ball but he is gaining in dis
lance and has improved his short
game of late.

AUGIE TO MEET
PEORIA SCHOOL
IN FIRST GAME
Bradley Tech Represented by For.
midable Nine, According to
Reports.
By KENNETH CONREY.

Augustana will open its baseDali
season next Thursday at Peoria,
with Bradley Tech furnishing the
opposition From Peoria the Augie
nine will journey to Eureka, where
Swedberg's men meet Eureka col
lege on Friday.
Bradley, as usual, is represented
by a formidable nine. Four of last
years players are back at the Pc
oria school and all the other mem
bers of the squad are experienced
players. Bradley has played three
games thus far, winning from Lom-
bard and Eastern Normal and los
ing to Wabash. Carroll. the pitch
ing ace, an ex-Chillicothe prep
school star, held Lombard to a
scratch hit in nine innings. He
slated to make the start against
Augustana Thursday.
1t can be safely said that in meet
ing Bradley, Swedberg's proteges
will be picking some tough meat,
and will have to go some to put
over a win. Last year in the one
game which Augie played Bradley,
the Lutherans suffered a 10 to 1
drubbing.
Edge Against Eureka
In Fridays game with Eureka
Augie will have an edge, having
played one game, that with Brad
ley on Thursday. Fridays contest
will be the first played by the Eu-
reka nine. Swedberg will have had
the opportunity of sizing up his
recruits in action, and will have a
better conception Of where to place
his men.
At the present time it would seem
that the following men are the best
bets, and will probably be given
first chance against the Bradleys:
Rog Peterson behind the bat with
Eph Erickson doing the whirling,
Conrey on the initial sack, Samuel
son or Allen at short, Hultberg al
second, and Wallie Swanson on the
hot corner. In the outfield, Art
will probably have o. Johnson.
Schaefer, W. Larson and Bob An

ISLANDERS MAY
MEET ALED0 IN
TRACK CONTEST
Hard Practice Starts This Week
In Preparation for Big Eight
Event. May 6.
By ART WILLIAMS.

Arrangements for a dual track
meet between Rock Island and Ale
do high schools, in Aledo, are be-
ing made by j. r. Clark, manager
of the local squad.
The purpose of this match is to
give the Islanders some outdoor
practice before the Big Eight meet,
which is to be held at Browning
field, Moline, Saturday, May 6. The
following Saturday the quad-city
outdoor meet will be held in Dav-
EXPORT This will be the first quad
city event this year for the Daven-
porters. Tie school across the
river was to have participated in
the quad-cisy indoor meet d week
ago last Saturday, on the Angus
tana oval, but withdrew at the last
moment.
The Islanders hopes are bright
for the Big Eight meet. They are
doped to be about on equal terms
with any of the teams this year
Good form was shown by the Grim
son and Gold in the quad-city con-
test when it captured first place by
defeating Moline and East Moline.
The locals are planning to improve
greatly in the two weeks before the
big event kS getting practice out
doors on Reservoir field. Up to
date the Islanders have had little
opportunity to get outside and
show what they really are worth,
but now that the weather has
warmed up they will be out every
night Nearly all of the practice
this year, so far. has been on the
Y. M. c. A. and Augustana ovals.
With the Easter vacation over
and school in full session again,
Coach Kimmel plans to push the
lads through some real workouts
Several practices were held during
the vacation but not much was ac-
complished. Practice in earnest
will start tonight. The sprinters
were expecting to go out last night
but rainy weather again frustrated
their plans.

SELLS TO MEET
WAEyERT AGAIN
Rock Island RoIy-PoIy and Morris
TO Box Semi Windup on No.
line Card.

Morris Waeyert of Moline and
Bum Sells of Rock Island came to
terms offered by the Anderson Ath-
letic club to fight the semi-windup
to the Cummings-McFadden en-
counter next Friday evening in Mo-
line. Both were holdouts but
Matchmaker Jimmy Anderson rails
ed the ante little and the boys
came down a few notches.
The last meeting between these
two, which was held at Turner
hall a month ago, was a contest
replete with smuggling. Neither
know great deal about the fine
arts of the fistic game but both can
catch and pitch plenty. Morris
gave Bum the trouncing of his
life in the last combat but the Rock
Island veteran claims that he was
over-confdent and also states that
Waeyert caught him a lucky blow
over the eye early in the milling,
which handicapped him all the
way. No matter what has happen
ed or what the probable result NAV
be it should be a battle from the
tap of the first gong.
Tickets for the show were placad
on sale at the following places
yesterday:
Moline-Martin and Hickey cigar
stores, Do Drop Inn, Larson's cigar
store, Art Anderson, Annex soft
drink Darlor, Capitol billiard room.
East Moline = American billiard
room.

of the national pastime has been
forwarded by President r. F. Wood
of the fans association and M II.
Sexton, president of the Miss1s-

bright that Judge Lands will &C
cept, especially in view of the fact
that he and President Sexton have
strong personal as we'll as business
- relations. and. too, the valley cir
cult is the kind of an organization
in which the judge feels keen in
terest.
IL is anticipated that Lands can
arrive in Rock Island shortly after
2 O'Clock Monday afternoon, which
would allow him to participate in
the automobile parade through this
city and Davenport preceding the
contest. At the park he would be
called ucon TO deliver few re-
marks anent baseball and then
pitch the first ball. Receiving the
first ball would be Mr.. Sexton.
Tentative plans for opening day
aside from the probable appear
ance of Judge Lands call for big
automobile parade and music by
the Boy Scout band of so pieces.
The parade is to form at Market
square at l 30 o'clock and will fol-
low a course through the business
districts of Rock Island and Dav-
e-enport and wind up at the ball
park. The band will lead the line,
followed by players of both Rock
Island and Dubuque teams in full
uniform. Short booster talks will
be made at the park just before

Gray managed his own club in Chi

makes 'em sizzle from his bat.
Despite inelement weather. the

have been making satisfactory
progress whipping their teams into

to the task of weeding out the IN

call to arms sounds next Monday.
All clubs are expected to carry a

With the exception of Rock Is

the league are returning to organ
lied ball after a lapse of several
years and naturally interest is
keen.

CHAMPS CAN'T

RECORD ALONE
Yale Middle-lDeight
Boss Learns Error
Too Late.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright. 1922, by The Argus
When a champion rests on his
laurels and expects to come
through on past reputation fate al
ways prepares for him long and
crashing fall. Eddie Eagan. Olym-
pic 175-pound boxing champion,
found this out at Boston when Nc
kenna of the st. Alphonsus club of
New York forgot all about Eagan' S
past reputation in the amateur
championship bouts and put the
former Yalesian and Olympic here
out of the running.
The champion is the man who
above all has his work cut out for
him. Constant attention to his
condition. constant working upon
his speciality, is the price of an en-
during seat upon the throne. What
man has done has nothing to do
with what he can do-unless he
has taken pains to. keep himself up
TO par mentally and physically
There is no doubt that Marath-
on racing is a form of sport that
should have careful regulation.
Contestants. for one thing, should
be carefully selected. But if it
were as damaging upon properly
trained men as some would have
us believe, then a man who won
the event in 1911 would hardly be
able to repeat in 1922.
Thus the significance of Clarence
De Mars victory at Boston, which
seems TO have been overlooked in
its physical aspects, is made clear.
What | mean to say is that when
contestants. gated for the Marath-
on test. enter the race in good con-
1ition, there is no reason why
harmful effects should be indicat-
ed.
Lawrence Rice fears his physi-
cal condition will prevent him
from going to the west coast with
the eastern tennis team Vincent
Richards regretted that he was not
well enough TO play in the National
Indoor meet in New York. Tilden
had too much tennis for his health
and physical condition last year.
What is the matter with the health
eff our tennis stars? Championship
tennis is strenuous and most of our
stars do not build up for il. That !
is the. answer. And the results are
only what might be expected. |
Tennis stars will learn their les !
son some time.

Glenn Warner, who has been
conducting football practice at Lee
land Stanford, where he will serve
as regular football coach when
his contract with the University of
Pittsburgh expires, asserts that he
was in every way within his con-
tractual rights. so far as Pitt is
concerned, in going to Palo Alto TO
conduct spring practice. And in a
letter received today he adds thet
he has every intention of serving
two years more as coach at Pitts
burgh under the terms of his
agreement with that university.
81 am violating no contract in
my work or dealings with Stan
ford" says Warner. MY contract
with Pittsburgh distinctly states
that l am to coach Pittsburgh eX-
clusively from Sept / until Deem
Der of each year during the term of
the contract. My agreement with
Stanford is to act as advisory coach
during the rest of the year and con-
duct spring practice Before any
deal was made with Stanford
suggested to the Pittsburgh ath-
letic authorities that l would be
willing to conduct spring practice
there if they wished me to. Ny sug-
gestion was not adopted.
Regarding the alleged rumor that
several Pittsburgh players may
transfer to Stanford, there is abso-
lutely no truth to it. l have never
had any communication with any
of the Pittsburgh players along
that line and have never even
thought of such eventuality. The
thought is foolish anyway since l
shall be at Pittsburgh for two more
seasons and will endeavor to finish
my last two seasons there with as
good a record as l can possibly
make"
Warner declares that Pittsburgh
is not going to let him go after
next February session and that be
is not going to ask it to, as he
fully intends to fulfill his con-
tract and serve Pittsburgh as long
as the contract specifies"
AS to Jock Sutherland, the La
fayette coach, who according to re-
port, was to succeed Warner in
1925, the present coach believes
there are other Pittsburgh gradu-
ates better qualified for the task,
men who could demonstrate that
fact if they had material of the
sort Sutherland has had at Lafay-
cite Two wears" he said s.yoay
