RAIN Prevents.
CAME FOR AUCIE
Contest With Lombard Stricken
From Schedule Account
Bad Weather.
RY KENNETH CONREI,

Old man gloom reigned supreme
among Augustana athletic circles
yesterday. The weather man was
responsible, for by virtue of his
generous donation of rain the Au-
gustana baseball team was forced
to cancel another game. The Luth-
Grams were schedu>rI to play Lom-
bard at Galesburg yesterday after
noon. Coach Swedberg received a
long distance telephone call at $50
yesterday morning from Schissler,
the Lombard mentor, stating that
if the rain did not let up by II
they would have to call the cee..as-
test off. There was no let-up,
neither here nor at Galesburg.
Augie's next contest is a return
game with Monmouth next Monday.
This and the contest to be played
against the alumni Tuesday are the
two games remaining.
Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock
the Augustana college tennis rep
resentatives will battle with the
net stars of Northwestern college
of Naperville. Augustana is we'll
fortified in this sport with Conrey
as the singles representative and
Conrey and Carlson making up the
doubles team. Dwyer and RydhoIm
are also paired to meet Northwest
ern.

MOORE PASSES
TITLE CHANCE?

Moline Bantam Believes Pal Is
Spreading a Lot of Bunk
These Days.

Eddie Anderson, the Moline ban
tam who meets Pal Moore OF

in the Davenport coliseum June .,
had a good chuckle last evening
when he read in another tri-city
daily that Pal gave up chance to
fight Champion Johnny Buff to
meet Eddie the second time.
wonder why he would not fill
that Chicago engagement" chirp-
ed Eddie. Then l would like to
know where he gets that bunk
about being so frritated over the
report from here that he was de-
feated? In the first place Buff is
not in shape to do any boxing for
awhile. Secondly, any contender
would pass up a hard battle in ed-
vance in getting a chance at the til
tie. l would do as much and no
one can accuse me of running out
of matches.
Evidently Pal thinks he will
make a monkey out of me this time.
l realize that his record shows that
second time if he loses the first
bout. l hope that you do not think
l am stuck on myself or that l am
overconfident, but 1 really and
truly believe that my chances for
victory are just as good, if not bet
ter, this time than when We fought
April 20. l feel better and believe
that 1 learned as much of Pals
style as he learned of mine. Any
way, I'll do my best and the sur
prise will be on me if Moore is the
winner"

But then with the third, Greb,
who had studied out his rival to his
satisfaction, abandoned himself to
his task Fans who had never seen
this man in action before sat with
mouths open. He would leap into
the air, landing with his left and
then repeating the blow five times
before Tunney knew what was hap

with boxing gloves-that was Greb
all the way.
Had Tunney been able to keep
him away and fight him at longer
range he might have done damage,
but there was no keeping this der

Intellectually, while round after
round his face lost the least SEM

Time and time again, too, Greb
stood toe to toe and exchanged
wallops with his opponent. But his
head was always going the way
Tunny's punches were going, while
upon Genes face beat that terrible
tattoo of gloves. There were times
when Greb would strike while two
feet above the ring floor, others
when he brought his blows from

WILLIAMS AND
RUTH EVEN IN
SERIES CLASH
Each Get a Homer, Hens Drive in
the Last Game of the Set
Being Long One.
BY JOHN B. POSTER

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus
New York, y. Y, May 24-In the
first series tilt Ruth and Williams
broke even on home runs. Each
got one. That of Williams in the
last game of the series was a
smash that will not soon be for
gotten. The ball landed up in the
lumber of the bleachers in right
field of the Polo grounds.
Like the home-run rivals, The
teams broke even on results bat
he didn't break even on possibili-
ties because st. Louis seems to be
little the best of anything that
has been in New York this year.
While the American league is
having a nice enjoyable huIlabaIoo
over the good work of the Detroit
and the Philadelphia teams-the
latter for the first time in several
years is far enough above water 20
see the shore-the National league
is all ''het up" over the sudden bel
1igeFenee of the Cincinnatis.
The Reds are running red against
the eastern teams. They trimmed
Brooklyn three times and lost one
game to them Boston was spank
ed two to one and the PhilIies went
out of the city bruised and beaten
three games to none, and after a
hard fight too. The Giants have
been outplayed three to nothing
with one more game left for the
present trip. Even the ST Louis
Cards with their Hornsby and their
well doomed pennant aspirations
haven't done as well as Cincinnati,
in fact, worse, as with any kind Of
showing against Boston they might
have led their league.
If Pat Moran, the manager Of
this team which seemed to be
doomed a fortnight ago to the IN
position of runner-up for
the second division, can carry
some of the fire that his players
now show into the eastern fight
Cincinnati will look as if it means
to be more than a local meteor.

MAY RECOGNIZE
JOHN DUNDEE AS
Feather CHAMP
kilbane's Period of Grace to Accept
Challenge in New York
Expiring.
BY ]. L, HUGHES,

Unless Johnny Kilbane comes
out in the open soon and agrees to
meet Johnny Dundee or some other
contender for his featherweight
crown, he faces the possibility of
having the title lifted from his
aged dome and placed on that of
the junior lightweight champion.
At least Johnny Dundee, who
meets Charlie White here June 81,
may become the featherweight
champion of the world so far as
New York is concerned, without
fighting for the title New York's
boxing law demands that a cham
pion defend his title at least once
in every six months, providing
legitimate contender challenge him,
or face the prospect of FORGETTING
his laurels. The following article
appearing in the New York Sun un-
der date of May 18, explains the
situation:
Johnny Dundee may now step
automatically into the feather
weight worlds championship boots
of Johnny Kilbane-at. least as far
as this state is concerned-under
the latest ruling passed by the
state athletic commission It is not
probable the state commissions ac-
ton IN transferring the title would
be effective outside of New York.
Under the new requirements ey-
cry pugilistic champion must &C
cept bona fide challenge for his
title within six months after he is
crowned, and one in every six
months thereafter. If a so-ealIed
logical contender" puts up a suit
able forfeit guaranteeing the sin
certify of his challenge, it is up TO
the titleholder to give a watert.ght
explanation OF why the bout can
not be arranged. If his expIana-
tions are flimsy or if he refuses to
acknowledge the challenger, his t.
tie automatically passes into the
hands of the challenger.
THE commission also decided!
yesterday to recognize Dundee's
challenge and to consider it a valid

DISBARMENT OF
STEEL SHAFT is
NOT NECESSARY
Proved That 1t Offers
No Aid to Any
Golfer.
BE WALTER CAMP.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus,

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus,)
Congratulations to the Western
Golf association for realizing the
precipitancy of the action of the
United States Golf association in
barring steel-shafted clubs. In the
first place, not one golfer in a thou
sand has ever seen or tried steel
shaft, and in the second place the
reason given that the steel shaft
will yield better results from an
improperly made shot has never
been adequately demonstrated.
The statement of the Western
Golf associations executive COM
mittee, Messrs. Gates, Pheil, Rog-
ers and Hairless, is clear and their
conclusion correct. They say:
THE steel shaft affords no me-
chanical advantage to the player
and its use will not be barred in
tournaments conducted by this as
ISOLATION.
Incidental to this decision was
the effort made by the United
States Golf association to prove
that the steel shaft club gave an
advantage in the case of a mis-
shot. Bob Mcdonald was the man
selected to demonstrate this. But
he found difficulty in making mis-
shot Finally. tired of his attempts,
he hit the next ball over 800 yards
into a stiff wind in the middle of
the fairway. But it was found he
had used a hickory shaft in this
drive.
He averaged six shots with the
hickory shaft 226 yards, and with
hickory shaft, 226 yards, and with
yards for the same number of
shots. His conclusion was that
the club will never make the golf
er, but the stroke will make any
ball go we'll"

Plowboy to remain in Moline until

Shelly is doing pennance.
The Islanders went ont to-
day, determined to take the fin
al of the set from 0ttumwa and
keep themselves up in the race.
Ever since the first road trip,
the locals have been hitting the
bumps but Manager Councilman
feels certain that a consistent
winning stride will be struck
before long. The boys are net
tied by loss of first position.
Drohan of the Cardinals is just
as determined to make a clean
sweep of the series. The acquisi-
ton of Zubay, pitcher, and Stalker,
outfielder. has made his club look
a whole lot better Church at sec
ond base is also a new conner.
Drohan has released Palmentier
left fielder, and Gardner, a pitcher.
Ottumwa fans are perkmg up
as a result of the two victories
over the Islanders. They are
now referring to DrOhan as the
class of the league when it
comes to managers and are ex-
pressing confidence in his abiI-
ity TO pull the team out of last
place and start il on a climb to
the top.

not be overlooked that the uni

stricted.
