Complete figures from the Thir-

publican, A.881; William G..
Maucker, Democrat, 1850. and
Thomas Hughes, Independent, H.

These totals we're made upon I'M
official count but represented all
precincts in the district and had
been checked so that the official
count is not likely to alter them to
any great extent.
The figures show that Hughes
was defeated by 1885 despite the
unusual showing he made in the
contest. His supporters conceded
his defeat early in the evening
when Rock Island returns indicat-
ed that he would not gather safe
majority in this county. 1t was not
expected that the other counties in
the district would write his name
in to any great number.

A number OF Moline ex-service

clause In the law providing that
applicants for the bonus must have
been in the service between April

The question has caused unusual
discussion since Tuesday. when the
bonus issue carried the state by .
large majority.
Senator Carlson, who helped
adopt the law providing that the
bonus issue be submitted to the
voters, says the dates April 6, 1917,

FEDERAL COURT

Especial to The Argus.)

Peoria, Nov. "a report that,
lain Looney, owner Of the Rockl
Island News, q fugitive from JUS
tice. had been arrested by United
states marshals, was denied at the
federal court building here today.
II was stated that it was expected
that Looney would soon be in GUS

means were being employed to
hunt him down. officials explain
ing that when the time arrived for
hearing Of the charges against him
he would be delivered to the court,
no matter his whereabouts, pro-
yiding he had not flown from the
Jurisdiction Of the United States
government.
Various rumors Of Looney's pos
sible hiding place have reached
federal officials here. but they
have placed little credence in any
Of them. 1t Is believed that
Looney is evading arrest not only
because of possible difficulty in
furnishing a satisfactory bond.

Young Mr.. Bill Conroy, star third
baseman of the Minneapolis A. A. team
probably will start the 1923 season as
a member of the Washington Amer
leans.
Clark Griffith has an option on the

else it. Conroy has shown up we'll at
third for the Millers this year despite
the fact that he was shifted to that
bag after playing first practically all
of the 1921 campaign. He played only
II games at third last year. He was
ranked second in fielding among the
A. A. third baseman last season and
has fielded clearly this year. He has
! hit 800 for the Millers and has a style
that the Washington ivory hunters
like.

Football Vies With Summing
as Honolulu S Greatest Sport

a crowd of 14,000-one fourth of the
entire adult population of Honolulu
beat the Pearl Harbor navy outfit 20
TO 0. But Oregon knew it was in a
fight every minute of the time-and
the navy players never lacked for en-
thusiahtic cheers from the commingled
population of Americans, Europeans,
Hawaiians, Japs, Chinese, Hindoos,
Arabians, Polynesians, Turks and men
and women from a dozen other races.
The first singing game has secured
a toe hold in Honolulu, but not much
else. The warriors in the main are
mediocre, ranging in bulk from fly
weights to lightweights, with bantams
most popular.
The Americans make up the bulk OF
the patronage. Hawaiians are becom
ing more interested in the sport than
formerly because some of the native
boys have become ringmen and are
nearly holding their own with the
American boys who fight there. But
the Japs and Chinese are still rather
cold toward boxing and until they get
| steamed up and begin to thrust theil
| yellow forms through the turnstileS
| boxing in Honolulu will continue to be
a sport which attracts but thousand
! or two of spectators on stellar bout
nights-and infinitely less on ordinary
! fight nights.

JOE LYNCH, BANTAM
CHAMP, BIDDING HIGH

Joe Lynch, once more bantamweight
champion, makes a bid for a place
alongside the great men Of his class.
But his off spells. his periods of appar-
ent lassitude, keep him from the hall
of fame.
1t was during one of these Estles5
spells, | believe, that Lynch lost his
title to Pete Herman just a year ago.
Lynch, in the six years he has been
fighting, has met most of the best
little fellows. When he won the title
Dec. 90, 1920, by outpointing Pete Her
man in a fifteen-round bout, most folk
predicted he would hold the title for
some years. Imagine their surprise
when Herman returned from England
a few months later and on July %
1921, regained the title by outboxing
and out-generaling Lynch. Lynch s
showing was so poor that many critics
raised their eyebrows and said "Ho
ho'' when they heard the outcome.
Then, when Johnny Buff, past thu
years of a good fighter, substituted
against Pete Herman Sept 23, 1921
and took the title from him Lynch
showing looked worse than ever.

HONOLULU, Aug 16-Swimming
Is Honolulu's major sport. Back OF 1t
come football, baseball and boxing.
This is a town wnere Oriental races
predominant. The American and Eu-
ropean population is small to point
of insignif1cance. The Japs are in
the lead, with Chinese holding second
position; men from races which know
but little about swimming, baseball,
football and boxing.
Yet the outpourings of Japs and
Chinese make it possible for the four
sports to be on a paying basis.
All swimming clashes are under the
auspices of the Hawaiian Amateur
Athletic Union, which affiliated with
and operated under practically the
same rules as the Amateur Athletic
union of the United States.
The national swimming champion
ships of Honolulu are staged late in
June or in July of each year. Waikiki
Beach is not used. The course is be
tween two piers in the harbor. The
piers are built up with seats for spec
tators and the crowds usually average
between 1900 and 14,000-at 81, $1.5C
and 50 for seats.
When it is remembered that the en-
tire population of Honolulu is only
125,000, of which perhaps $4,000 are
children, the outpouring at the swim
ming meets means that one adult out
of every five goes to see the events
If enthusiasm over sports was at the
same fever heat in New York as il
is in Honolulu, the average sport
crowds there would approximate 700,
900 paid admissions daily.
Football has enthralled Honolulu
They didn't know much about the
game until a few years ago. Now il
| is sport running a close second tc
swimming in the popularity race.
! Honolulu has six football teams
each with a royal band of rival root
ers. They boot and jeer each othel

Rushing from his. corner in the

hands, sent the Clevelander TO the
ropes with a volley. stood back and
pumped a terrific left to the head and

so exhausted he could not arise.
