MAN :
WOULD GUIDE
0TTUMWA CLUB
Oscar Graham, Former Moline
Pitcher, Also Bidding for
the Position.

Ottumwa, Iowa, March --latest
dope on a manager for Ottumwa's
new ball club has Jimmy Drohan
of Kewanee slated for that particu-
lar berth Drohan is highly rec
commended by Kewanee fans and
ball promoters and has an excel
lent record to back him up in man
aging the locals IL he should be
selected.
Drohan played ball in the old
Central Association, holding break
on the mound for several seasons.
He also managed Clinton's aggre-
CATION for one season and was a
leading pitcher in the Texas league
For the past two years Jimmy
has been manager of the semi-pTo
aggregation at Fond Du Lac. Wis,
where he has developed some good
players from the sandlots. He IS
especially capable of moulding big
league material. He developed
Bling" Miller to Connie Mack of
the Athletics, Mandy Brook to Pc
oria and later sold to st. Paul.
Earl Howard of Milwaukee was
also a student of Drohan methods.
The Kewanee man has also trained
players for Joplin and Milwaukee.
Taking Drohan's record of the
past two years as measuring mark
it is safe to say that he is one of
the best to be secured to develop
young players which after all, is
one OF the aims of the Mississippi
Valley league.
Drohan is rated in the class with
Ned Egan of Central Association
fame and Frank Boyle, recently
hired by Marshalltown to pilot that
town nine this year
Graham Applicant.
Oscar Graham, well known pitch
er, has also bid for the local play
ing-manager job. Graham has a
good record and has played with
some of the best teams in the
country. He was with Minneapolis
when that aggregation won the
pennant, with the Senators in the
American league for two years,
with Moline four years and with
Omaha in the Western league and
Pacific Coast league teams for sew
eral seasons Graham is also be-
ing considered by the club officers
for the pilot berth.
20 Seek BerthS.
More than twenty ball players
have made overtures to the local
club officers in an effort to secure
the managing berth Applications
have been received from Brooklyn,
n. Y, Salt Lake City, ST. Louis,
Kansas City, Vincennes, Mime
apoIis, Kewanee, Rock Island, Ian
sing and many other places.
In connection with applications
for the pilot job more than fifty
ball players have made application
for playing positions, even an In
dian from the backwoods of Michi-
gan wants to come to Ottumwa and
is certain he can make good in the
field
Those who have contributed 10
the financing of the project this
year, while not expecting a return
on their money to the extent of
100 per cent in hard dollars, do ex-
pect that the Ottumwa ball club
will prove one of the biggest ad-
vertising assets the city possesses.

DISTRICT BATTLE
TALK AND TATTLE
Milestone, Annawan's left guard,
helped put a keen edge to his team
By good defensive playing.


The Sheffield and Port Byron
teams seemed anxious to make the
game a family affair. Each had
brothers on the floor. Sheffield had
E. Grub and F. Grub to defend
it's goal and Port Byron had v.
Fritz and A. Fritz at right forward
and right guard.
Waffle proved to be a ham when
Il came to shooting free throws.
Out OF 10 chances he Gagged only
one basket.
Whether it was a can of talcum
powder or achievements of alum
which was thrown in to the Sa-
wanna players at the end OF the
first half, still remains a mystery.
1t may have had something to do
with their victory.
To Lindgren Of the Orion squad
should go some kind of prize for
his ability as a contOrtienist. He
is physical agony persOnified in
trying for foul baskets.

the Augustana band put some of
the boys who are used to sitting in
the parlor and listening to her"
music, in a funny mood, and fouls
were called on them for holding.
The teams from the smaller
towns entered the tournament last
night with all the seriousness of
coping the first hOnOrs and groups
of home fans were present to sup
port them with plenty of noise.

entities him to, so far as a match
for the heavyweight title is con-
cerned. All the bout showed was
that Wills has a terrific right
punch It is true, he slammed the
ebony kid for a row of bathing
pavilions after but three minutes
and Is seconds Of lighting. There
were only three or four blows
struck, however. No critic could
say whether Wills has gone back,
as has been charged, or not. All
the bout proved was that Norfolk
was not the equal of Wills in
height, weight, reach or punching
power.
Fans SkepticaL
Thousands of skeptical rolled
out OF Madison Square Garden after
the battle with their noses in the
air, yammering st smells ishy."
That undoubtedly due to the fact
that not one spectator in 500 saw
the blow which ended the fight.
The men were at close quarters
when Wills brought up a short
right uppercut to Norfolk's chin
It did not travel six inches and was
SO fast the eyes OF any except
those at the rings edge could not
follow it. AS a consequence many
spectators went home fully con-

Fighting like tigers all the way,
the Rock Island high school bas-
keteers this morning upset the dope
by defeating Geneseo, IA to 10, IN
one of the most important games OF
the district tournament in progress
at the Augustana gymnasium.
AS result Of the victory, the
Islanders will clash with the fast
Savanna quintet tonight at
o'clock. If the locals win this even
ing's contest they will undoubtedly
be paired against Moline tomorrow
morning at IL O'Clock to determine
which team of Glass A shall meet
the winner of Class b teams in the
deciding game of the tournament
Saturday night at O'Clock. Moline
was scheduled to play Manlius this
afternoon and If victorious Will
meet the winner of the East Mo-
line Tiskilwa game tonight at y
o'clock.
About 1 400 cage fans packed into
the gymnasium this morning to W.T.
ness the big battle between the Is
landers and Geneseo, and were re-
warded by one of the most exciting
and close tits the tournament is
likely to produce The contest was
tied at two different stages in the
last half and once Geneseo took the
lead by a field basket in the closing
minutes but the scrappinesss of the
local five came to the fore and tri-
umphed.

the GeneseOans failed to tally a
single field basket while Rock Is
land collected three. Edwards
started the fireworks with long
basket and Captain Shelter follow
ed this up with dandy from a diff
fcult angle Woodward then tip
ped one in from jump near the
basket. The substance of Geneseo's
scoring efforts in the first quarter
was a free throw by Captain
Schultz and another just like it in
the second quarter.
In the first half Rock Island and
Geneseo both missed repeatedly
from beneath the basket. The often
sive of the contestants was very
ragged in this respect.
Woodward Out.
ond half woodward was elected
from Rock Islands lineup because
of four personal fouls. Geneseo be-
gan a terrific offensive that result

fourth period at each. Hamann
made the tying basket A minute
later Wiesjahn bagged a field goal
that put the Henry county boys into
the lead. For some reason Wies-
jain called for time at this stage,
when the invaders had the home
guard on the run. This respite gave
Rock Island a chance to pull to-
gether and soon after play resum-
ed Alvine slipped down the floor
from standing guard position and
rang up pretty basket from be-

again, The Islanders slipped into

Some few thousand boxing fans
Of the tri-cities and surrounding
territory tonight will gather in the
Davenport Coliseum to witness
what promises to be an excellent
fisticuff program. The Davenport
legion has % rounds of mitt-sling-
ing billed for the entertainment of
the bugs, and from all indications
there will be few idle moments. if
any, from the time the first gong
of the opening preliminary sounds
to the clang Of the final bell in the
main go.

ning's program. These boys will
clash for 10 rounds or less at 140
pounds.
Holding almost as much interest
in the eyes of tri-city fans will be
the semi-windup between Eddie
Anderson. Moiine's great little
fighter, and Leo Higgins, popular
Davenport scrapper. This affair
will extend over the six-round
route.
In the second prelim Mickey
Curran, product of the Pacific
coast, will strive for recognition in
tri-city fstic circles against the
redoubtable Battling Check of Mil
waukee, a miniature edition of Bob
MoHa, otherwise and Familiarity
known as the cave man" They
will step six rounds.
The lid fitting effort OF the eve
ming will be provided by Young
Brandy, smuggling Moline youth, and
Young Nelson, who styles himself
the Durable Dane" They are
scheduled to mix for four rounds,
starting at $50 O'Clock.
A huge crowd is expected to find
its way through the doors Of the
spacious fight emporium in the
course of the evening. When the
legion matched Schlaifer and Grit
fiths it wisely decided to shift the
scene Of action from the limited
confinement of the Fifth street
armory to the more commodious
and uplifting environment of the
Coliseum. That the move was a
wise one is testified to by the fact
that reserve seats have been
greatly in demand since they were
placed on sale. Practically all
chairs OF the 50 variety are expect
ed to be sold out by the time the
first bout is called. The arena will
be able to accommodate at least
5000 general admission fans
M0rrie Popular.
When Morrie Schlaifer fought
here in January, he leaped into in
slant popularity. His two-handed
fighting ability is Just the kind of
stuff that appeals to the majority
of the followers of the ring game.
With the prospect OF seeing how
well the Nebraskan measures up
against crafty experience, nearly
all those who saw him against
frankie WEIGH and many new
friends who have been won to his
side by the tale of prowess, will be
on hand.
Grifiths at the present time is
anxious to work himself into bout
with Champion Jack Britton of the
welters, and naturally he doesn't
figure to have the youthful Schlaif-
er get the best of, him. Suffice to
say, Grifffths will put into effect
everything he totes in an effort to
destroy the hopes of the Omaha
lad.
