LEGION SIGNS
CUMMINGS And
BUD M'FADDEN
Welterweights to Box Six Rounds
as Semi Windup to Dundee
VS.. White.

George Cummings, Davenport
weller, and Bud McFadden have
been signed TO settle their differ
ences in the ring at Douglas park,
Rock Island, the afternoon of June
81, as the semi-windup TO the John
ny Dundee-Charlie White 10-round
bout
McFadden has agreed to weigh
I in at $50 pounds for Cummings,
and contracts have been signed.
They will box six 3-minute rounds.
The Cummings bout
has been in the air for several
months. Some tina ago they were
billed to fight it out in Moline, but
George developed a case of blood
poisoning and hostilities were can
celled. Ever since McFadden near
ly wrecked Cummings ring career
in Rock Island a couple of years
ago, the Davenporter has been
clamoring for another chance He
is anxious to show the fans that he
can come back against a man who
gave him one of the worst beatings
one is likely to be called upon to
take.
Cummings is working out daily
at Smiths gymnasium on Brady
street
Davenport fans can obtain ring
side seats at Bill Murray's, 227
Brady street. or at Martins No. 10,
Third and Brady streets. In Rock
Island, ringsides are on sale at
Martins No. 16, Second avenue and
Seventeenth street, and at Hickey's

grow as they progress. No mat
ter-as has been the case this year
whether Yale or Harvard have
lost all their preliminary races and
are rated at the foot rather than at
the top of the aquatic colleges the
same colorful throngs give festal
atmosphere to sleepy old New
London on regatta day and the
same crowded observation trains
rumble up ana down both sides of
the river Thames.
In other words, sport for the
sheer sake of sport. Sport with the
tang of tradition and the glow of
tlme-honored rivalry. Herein is
represented an ideal of American
amateur sport that should not be
overlooked. 1t does not exist broad
ly in this intense land Of ours, but
II does exist at New London and il
should be priced by all Americans
who see deeply into this matter of
competitive athletics and appreci-
ate that while victory is desirable
and valuable there are other ele-
ments just as essential, if not more
SO. such as strong and enduring
common respect and
mutual esteem and wholesome riy-
Try.

| Those who seek to compare the
June regatta on the Thames river
at New London with the annual
Hudson river boat race at POUCH
keepsie in terms of relative impor-
lance are doing so in ignorance of
, the fact that the two events are not
in any way to be compared.
The Poughkeepsie regatta is
practically an all-comers' affair
whose tacit design is to bring forth
the championship crew of the
country. The race is held under
the auspices of a board of stew
ards representing Column bia, Penn
syivania, Cornell and Syracuse, but
all crews wherever they may be
are practically certain of an invita-
uon II they evince a receptive spir-
it.
The aim is national and crews
from the west coast and the middle
west are more than welcome.
The affair on the Thames is a.
family affair between Harvard and
Yale. whose roots go back into an
tiquity, so far as that term NAV be
applied to American intercollegiate
sport There is no desire to set
tie championship issue, or to chal-
lenge the world for supremacy.
For a period of more than so
years crews of the Crimson and
the Blue have struggled for victory
ana out of these annual meetings
mas grown a score of tradition, leg
end, and glowing memories that are
handed down from generation to
generation and like SNOWFALL.

MULLEN TRIBE
IS SUBDUED BY
HARD HITTING
Swenson Leads Vicious Attack of
the Locals With Four Out
of Five.
RY IL. HEGHES.

The Islanders staged field meet
for the edification of Sabbath day
fans at Douglas park yesterday aft
ernoon. Attired in their choicest
swatting clothes, they assembled
IA runs to the tune of II hits OF
three Dubuque twirlers and near
twirlers, while Joe Van Goethem
breezed through nine innings. al
lowing only two runs and six hits.
This made it two out of three for
the locals in the series with Larry
Mullen's hopeful youngsters. Sat
urday's contest was captured by a
score of TO 4.
The Islanders provided plenty of
action in practically every inning
yesterday. In only two frames did
they go runless, and as it happened,
hitless also. Walter Swenson was
the big noise with the stick, the
third sacker hitting safely four
times out of five to the plate. Two
of his blows went for triples. john
ny Belz and Mike Dempsey ran him
close seconds for the hitting hon
ors of the day, both getting three
safe cracks out of four chances.
All the Islanders with the excep-
ton of Irwin Gardner, lanky pitch
er. who took part in the game as
the left fielder, broke into the hit
column at least once. Swenson and
Belz scored seven runs between
them.
Dubuque took the lead by scoring
one in the second inning on a pass,
stolen base and single. But the Is
landers lost no time in showing
them the dust. They came right
back in their part of the second and
counted three tallies on four clean
singles Four more were added in
the third on five hits, Belz and
Swenson contributing doubles in
this spasm.
By this time the scoring bug had
the Islanders dizzy and they con-
tinued to run the bases with merry
abandon. Lone runs were chalked
up in each of the fourth and fifth
rounds and two developed in the
sixth on singles by Newell and
Swenson and a double by Dempsey.
The Islanders took breathing
spell in the seventh, but in the
eighth boosted their sum total to
IA when three runners counted as
a result of wide throw to first by
Murray.
Bowman started on the mound
for Dubuque but gave way to
J Young in the third inning. Young
took his punishment until the sew
enth, when Choquette was brought
in from right field to finish on the
firing line. At that, he succeeded
in stopping the Islanders in the
seventh and would have blanked
them in the eighth but for Murray's
error.

Young, attempting the squeeze play,

turn tossed to Swenson to complete

JACK JOHNSON

Public Protests His
Bout With Tut

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus. J
New York, June 12.-Jack John
son, who is Said to be about as fl
for battle as a man of his age
could be, is having all sorts OF
trouble hooking up with an oppo-
nent. His friends in the sporting
black belt of New York were all
heated up over his proposed July 1
battle with Tut Jackson, said to be
rising negro fighter at Washing
ton Courthouse, Ohio.
But now word comes that the
citizens don't want the fight and
that they have petitioned the
local authorities to put a ban on
the battle, which according to re-
port will be done.
Most communities are willing
enough to let black fighters maui
each other. The usual objection is
to mixed bouts. But in the present
case Johnson's bad record is caus-
ing the trouble. Those, therefore.
who seek to prove from the attitude
Of the citizens of the Ohio town
that a bout between Dempsey and
Harry Wills could not be pulled
off IN this country, are misappre-
bending their facts
At the same time those who are
shouting so loudly for Dempsey
Wills fight should realize that it
would be no easy matter to hold
the fight anywhere in this country.
Jersey City has been picked as a
logical spot and Governor Edwards
has put himself on record as ia
voring the bout for his state. But
in so saying the governor has to-
tally failed to appraise the temper
OF his citizens. The noise over that
battle would be likely not only to
stir an unfriendly legislature but
to SO set the Jersey men on their
hind legs as to put boxing all to-
gether on the skids there.
