ISLAND CITYS
PLAY AT HOME
Manager Mangelsd0rf Decides
Against Out-Of-TOwn Bas-
ket Contests.

Instead of playing only few
local games and booking out-of-
town contests the balance of the
schedule, as was announced at the
start of the season, the Island Citys
will play only two or three out-of-
town games and will fill the re-
naming open dates with tri-city
teams. Manager Mangelsdorf states
that he has received numerous Of
fers from out-of-town clubs, but in
almost every case the guarantee
offered is too small for considera-
ton This, coupled with the many
tri-city teams in the field this sea-
son, has caused him to reverse the
schedule as planned at the start of
the year.
The Island Citys squad has been
cut to 10 men and Coach Dopb
hopes to pick the regular lineup
after next Mondays game. Rohwer,
who has been out of the running
the last two weeks with an injured
side, will be back in the gam~ as
will Sherrer, who has been suffer-
ing from a bad knee.
The Island City trimmed the Mo-
line Athletics last night to the tune
of rs to 10-The locals fine defen-
sive work held the Moliners to five
field goals.
The Island Citys will play the
SilviS A. c. Monday night at the
Rock Island high school gym.

WEAVER ASKS
reinstatement
Appears Personally Before Judge
X. NJ. Lands and Pleads
HIS Petition.

Chicago, Jan. 13-An echo of the
1919 world series scandal was
heard today when it became known
that George Buck" Weaver, for
mer Chicago White Sox third base
man, had personally appealed to
Judge K NJ. lands for reinstate-
ment in organized baseball, and for
the first time had told a board men,
Der about his version of the deal
through which it was alleged eight
White Sox players were bribed by
gamblers to throw games to the
Cincinnati Reds.
Weaver appeared before Judge
Lands without consulting his law
yer and simply to have what he
termed "a heart to heart talk with
the head of organized baseball" He
pleaded that he be allowed to re-
turn to the calling for which he
was best fitted and explained that
he had hesitated TO make known
his story, even confidentially, for
fear some might think he was try
ing to pass the buck" to his team
mates.
While Judge Lands refused TO
discuss the circumstances, atten-
ton was called to statement at
the time of the baseball trial, in
which the judge pointed out that
birds of a feather flock together"
and that men who associated with
gamblers and crooks could expect
no leniency at his hands.

PENN COLLEGE
AUCIE VICTIM
Especial to The Argus.)

Oskaloosa, Iowa, Jan. 13.-In an
exciting but rough game, Angus
tana college of Rock Island defeat
ed Penn college of OskalOOsa here
last night, IS to IS. The contest
was close throughout Not until the
closing minutes of play did the Is
landers' offense get started on the
victory march. Penn continued to
battle desperately to the final
whistle but had to bow to superior
defensive power of the visitors.
AronsOn was the star of the AN
gustana crew. He registered four
field goals besides playing an ex-
ceedingly fast floor game. Rosen-
cranz made two baskets apd four
free throws out of nine tries. Con-
rey contributed one field basket.
This made two victories out of
three starts for the Augustana
team since the departure from home
on the transforming tour of Iowa.

was Keinath in 1908 who seemed to
have a special aerial route between
his hands and the basket. The
writer recalls seeing him throw IS
out of IS in game against Column
bia. Then there was Eddie Nc
Niohol. In 1916 he threw u out
Of II fouls against Cornell one
night and 16 out of 16 against SYRIA
cuse the next. George Sweeney was
another extraordinary foul shooter
and so was Danny McNichol, one
of whose feats last year was the
tossing of q out of 25 baskets from
the foul box
Teams that hope to defeat Penn
sylvania should lean to the rules
as closely as possible ami at the
same time devote as mulch time as
pofAible to the development Of foul
shooters. Occasionally one hears
talk of abolishing foul shooting. but
if this ever comes about the games
will suffer. The element OF per-
sonal contact simply cannot be
permitted to get out Of land in this
fast game and it can be kept in
hand only under rules as at pres
ent constituted. Last year in the
season of the intercollegiate league
only 40 personal fouls were called,
an average of something less than
four to gave or seven to a side.
Exciting hockey is promised III

night when the Princeton and Yale

edge, which may or may not be in
evidence in the game itself.

Dove OF PEACE
TO HOVER over
GOLF SESSIONS
No Sign of Fractional Bitterness Is
Seen-Penn Shines Again at
Basketball.

tCopyrlght, 1922, by The ArguS.)
New York, Jan Is. - Whatever
happens at the annual meeting of
the United States Golf association,
which will be held on Saturday at
Chicago, there is now abundant
reason for belief that factional bit
terness between the eastern and
western branches of the organiza-
ton will not be in evidence. Last
year serious friction was prom
lsed but at precisely the right mo-
ment the dove of peace descended
bearing an olive branch several
times larger than the bird itself.
Thus a break was averted. That
dove, according to the best avail
able information, has now attained
almost to an eagles stature and is
flying Chicagoward carrying a suf-
ficient number of olive branches to
construct a lean-to. All that is
necessary it SENS. to insure 4 con-
vocation of golfers motiVated in all
their actions by fraternaI amiabiI-
Ity, IS the presence in the Windy
City of an appreciable representa-
ton of eastern delegates. Other
wise, of course, the westerners
might feel just a bit sighted and
would be justified in their state of
mind However, a generous eastern
representation filled two special
cars leaving New York on Thurs
day. While Silas H. Strawn of
Chicago, who was president of the
United States Golf association in
1911-12, will submit what he re-
CARDS as a plan which Will solve
the nOOted stymie problem, the
chances are that the rule as pres
ent constituted-adm there is
sentiment against twill not be
tempered with. The stymie hound
IS dangerous animal when arous-
ed and it would appear that the
tendency will be to let him sleep.
There may be some legislation
over the ribbed mashie. The feel
ing in the east-at least among
some prominent eastern golfers
has been that it is too easy to con-
troll the ball with ribbed-faced
club. that it enables the dub tot
pitch as accurately as the expert.
This 1t may be. At all events if
enough sentiment develops against
the ribbed mashie at Chicago it
may be Uutlawed then and there.
Otherwise nothing seems to prom
lSe in the way of interesting and
significant legislation. The as !
signment of tourney dates before |
the meeting will relieve the dele |

NO INTENTION
TO CUT PRICE
OF BASEBALL
Railroad and Hotel Rates Have TO
Drop First, the Magnates
Say.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER

copyright, 1922, by The Argus)
New York, jan 13.-No intention
exists on the part of owners OF
baseball clubs to reduce the price
of admission to games in 1922. AS
sertfons had been that the removal
of tax on tickets would result in
taking off some part of the price to
the general admissions. The tax on
tickets has not been lifted. There
seems to be a quite general misun-
derstanding in that respect
Until railroad rates and hotel
rates are lowered the price of adj
mission to ball games will stand
where it is. There is no doubt that
much money was made last year
in baseball by certain persons. 1t
was the good fortune of both New
York clubs to run into champion
ship with peculiarly good condi-
lions in connection with it. The
race in the American league ran to
the last minute and that in the Ma
tional league was won by a big
spiurge at the finish. Results of
that character make more money
for owners of baseball clubs than
If they are easily ahead all of the
way.
Some of the clubs in cities other
than the championship cities did
not make huge sums and some had
all they could do to break even.
They are not ready to see the price
of admission lowered They think
the public will continue to carry the
burden of the freight. They do not
believe in the theory that more ad-
missions at smaller rates profit a
club better than fewer admissions
at a higher price. While railroad
rates are higher and hotel rates
are not as moderate as they were
the advanced prices in both cases
hardly justify the high percent
age in advance on the price of
tickets. Salaries and other ex-
penses, some of which could be
trimmed without any injury to base
ball, are the real increases which
have advanced admissions.
Players who are back from Cuba
continue to say good things about
Mueller, the outfielder, who will
play for the st. Louis Nationals in
1922. They figure that he will bat
hard enough to make the st. Louis
outfield the hardest hitting and
most powerful in the National
league. Brooklyn men who made
up part of the crowd that went to
Cuba estimate that Mueller is
easily a 1926 batter in the Nation
al league and probably better
Spencer Abbott of the Memphis
club, says Brooklyn got the best
outfielder of the Southern associ-
alton by signing Griffith of the
New Orleans club, and is sure that
he will make the National league
this season. Perhaps that is one
reason why Brooklyn is not averse
to making a trade in which Wheat
viii be released to another team
Indianapolis will get more play
ers from the New York National
league club and it looks as if Hen
bricks, manager of Indianapolis,
will work in connection with the
New York crowd in taking care of
surplus players. There are sever
al youngsters on the Giants pay
roll who will be let out before the
season begins.
