BEFTERMENT OF
COACHING AIM
0FFUND DRIVE
Ash Fans To 6ubsesibe Financial
"A Towards Pulling Team
Out Of Rat
BY J. L. HUGHES.

A movement having as its object
3 higher standard Of football by
Rock Island high school teams OF
the future has been launched by
the Alumni association. This &C
ton follows as a natural conse-
Quence Of the overwhelming defeat
suffered by the team at the hands
Of Moline last Saturday and is wor-
thy Of the support not only OF grad
yates of the school, but OF every
football fan in the city.
II IL obvious that there must be
q change In the quality OF the
coaching to bring Rock Island high
school football out OF the rut and
restore 1t to the plane it should
rightfully hold in prep gridiron cir
cles OF the state.
II Is recognized that finances
enter strongly into a solution OF
the problem. The movement for
better football has as its object the
securing of financial pledges to go
as remuneration to the coach pro-
yiding. OF course. that he is able to
deliver the goods. This plan Is fol-
lowed successfully in Moline and in
other cities OF the state. The sum
thus raised Is merely auxiliary to
what the school authorities are able
TO pay for athletic instruction.
Rules OF the Illinois Inter-Scho-
lastic association require that the
coach OF athletes shall also be a
member of the high school faculty.
The movement under way contem-
plates no attempt to evade this rul-
ing by hiring man to devote his
entire attention to developing the
athletic talents Of the students. II
merely aims to make the induce
ments strong enough to attract the
attention of men who are capable
coaches and capable instructors In
book knowledge as well. 1t woult
not be necessary for the school au-
thorities to sacrifice scholastic at
tainment for perfection in football
or other sports. The country !:
full of young college men eager fol
positions of this nature. The rec
0rds of other Illinois high schoo
football teams makes this fact self
evident.
There was a time when the an
nual football scraps between the
tri-city high schools were the big
gest athletic events OF the year il
the community. That was in the
days when really creditable teams
were turned out consistently b!
each high school and 1t was Away
dangerous for anyone to attempt Il
name the probable winner. Tn
contests brought out the fines
qualities Of fight in each player ant
provided real thrills for the towns
people. The games in those day
truly were events.
There is no reason why the goot
old days can't be brought back
Everybody loves winner. Simpl.
give the kids who are trying to pla.
football a chance to learn the rea
science OF the game and they will
develop into winners. And whel
this is done interest in high schoo
football will be revived hereabouts

BENTLEY DEAL
CAUSES A HOWL
McGraw Charged With Trying ia
Buy Himself Another Of His
PennantS.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Nov. 1.-Yelps have
already split the air, in connec-
ton with the deal by which Jack
Bentley Of Baltimore will 60 to the
Giants, that another pennant is to
be bought for New York. The
Giants, however, did not steal any
march on the other league clubs.
Each knew that Bentley was on
the market. The fact is Bentley's
price was too high compared with
his worth to the other clubs, &C.
cording to their scouts.
Events shaped themselves just
right for Manager Dunn of Balti-
more to do business with New
York, for McGraw wanted Bentley
for triple purpose. Although the
Giants emerged from the world
series successfully, the result did
not establish the fact that they have
strong pitching staff by any
means. and McGraw is not the kind
of manager who will pass a chance
W 6cL pilCuiu6 clICu6lu.
Nehf has been in service long
while and is not over strong. A
good left-hander to run company
with Nehf would help the. Giants a
lot and New York is ready to gam
BILE on Bentley's ability to make
good. Bentley's arm went back on
him sometime ago but appears to
have come around all right. His
pitching record has been better than
the average, but he has been put
in to pitch infrequently and in soft
spots and has been used with such
good judgment by Dunn that he
never has been overworked.
Whatever faults Bentley may
have as a pitcher were we'll known
to the New York club which has
had full possession of, all facts
about his pitching for the last five
years. New York was asked to
take him before, but did not see a
use for him that would justify his
price with a strong team and d,
/; enough as it was.
Bentley's batting ability, how
ever. makes him valuable in more
ways than one. II he does not sue

So at length toward the end of the
third period the field general took
the precaution to have Knapp of
Swarthmore on side when Asplund
sent away one of his towering, but
not too lengthy drives. As had
been expected the Pennsylvania
backs permitted the ball to strike
the ground, not noticing that the
kicking team had a man onside. So
as the ball bounded about on the
turf Knapp came charging down the
field, picked UP the ball and sprint
ed across the goal line for a touch
down before the Quakers realized
what had happened.

We don't want to be hard with
Coach Kimmel He has been sim
cere enough in his efforts, but the
whole trouble is his efforts don't
measure up to the standard which
Rock Island feels its high school
football team is entitled to have
1t isn't the fault of the team that it
is not worthy opponent Of Mo-
line. The boys simply are not in
formed in the fundamentals OF
football and have not been in
spired with the fighting spirit
which Rock Island expects them to
show against Moline.

Brodway Cabarets create pity in the light of the gaiety of a good old Kentucky shindig as shown in Heart O. the Hills," Mary Pickford's latest First National picture which will be shown at the Royal Fri day, April IA.
 As Mavis Hawn, the hard working and unlucky daughter of a Kentucky mountain fami- ly, Miss Pickford is given an unprecedented opportunity to display her ability to produce laughs and tears.
 Unwilling to see her rustic Romeo defeated in jigging hon. ors by an aristocrat from the lowlands, Miss Pickford dashes into the circle and makes a nobele tffort to keep the dancing laurels among the mountain folk. The dance is suddenly interrupted when Uncle Zeke, going on 93 years old, orders the dance to stop. He has lost his teeth.

FIGHT OVER LIQUOR
 RESULTS IN KILLING
keg of Moonshine is Cause of Fatal Shooting Affray :
 Near Harrison

Harrison, April 3.-Yates Standridge, known as the human wolf lately paroled convict, who holds the record in the state for the number of tines he escaped from the penitentiary, today lies wound ed here as the result of a run ming fight in which Harry Campbell was killed. The fight is believed to have been the result of a duel over a keg e liquor which Standridge and his nephew Alonzo Stand ridge, are said to have brought to Harrison from their home in Newton County, Saturday night.
 Campbell was shot five times through the body and probably died instantly, ac- cording to physicians. Stand ridge was shot twice through the abdomen and once in the left arm. He will recover physicians say. Alonzo Stand ridge escaped.
 The killing is the second Standridge has figured in since his parole from the state prison farm at Tucker recently, al- though Standridge denies that he was implicated in the form- CT one. This occurred during a raid on a still in Newton county on which Standridge ac- compained prohibition agents who are charged with having killed Teddy Cox, alleged m oon s h iner.
 Standridge's career of crime dates back several years, when he was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for murder. He kill ed another man in the peniten- tiary and at one time had sen- tences aggeregating 51 years hanging over him. He escaped from the penitentiary several times and at one time was at large more than a year. At another time Standridge was captured by officers in Okla

TWO DEAD AS RESULT

Two Brothers Lose Lives in Battle With Officers in
 Cross County

Jonesboro, April 3.-James Barnette, aged 23, died at St. Bernard's hospital at 10::30 this morning from the effects of wounds received at Hickory Ridge, Saturday in a battle with officers in which his brother, o. M. Barnette was killed.
 It is said that James Bar nette had been convicted of making and selling liquor in Cross Circuit Court and had been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. However, the sentence was suspended on condition that Barnette leave the state.
 Instead of leaving, it is said that Barnette returned to Hickory Ridge and resumed the operation of a still. Off, cers at Hickory Ridge say that they received a message from Barnette saying: 'I will be in town with whiskey for all and plenty of guns and if any officers attempt to arrest me, I will kill them"
 Deputy Sheriff Mack Bur- nett of Hickory Ridge says that he learned that Barnette made good his promise and that the man was in town sell ing whiskey Saturday evening.
 Deputy Burnett found Bar nette and remarked: Jim I've come for you" It is said that Barnette promptly pulled his gun and opened fire on the officer. He missed two shots and then his gun damned. The deputy returned the fire and Barnette ran.
 While Deputy Burnett was discussing the situation with w. L. Banks and R. l.. Malone of Hickory ridge, Barnette re- turned with his brother, o. M. Barnette. The latter covered the trio with a double barrel shotgun, but the three men quickly opened fire, accord

Fired on by Unknown Man
 Who Escapes

Unknown parties have made three unsuccessful attempts to bllrn the large barn on the Wy att farm near Rosie during the past few days, but were driven away each time by arm- cd guards who have been on dut yon the Wyatt farm for several days.
 Late Wednesday afternoon some unknown party attempted to assassinate Finis Wyatt at his home. He was standing in the backyard at his home when someone fired at him from be- hind a small barn nearby. Wyatt was armed and immedi- ately began firing at the would be assassin, shooting five times at the man who turned and fled and succeed in making his escape.
 Sheriff Harris was notified and went to the scene with a number of deputies.
 Finis Wyatt is about 21 years old and is a son of Dave Wyatt.
 Dave and George Wyatt gained the enemity of the law less element of that community when they began dipping their cattle some time ago.
 When the second unseceess- ful attempt was. made to burn the Wyatt barn, it is said that 12 or 15 men, all on horseback, were in the party of incendia- ries. Armed guards on the Wy att farm and neighbors are said to have fired 20 or thirty shots at the men and 1t is be- lieved that one of them was wounded ,as one of the men is said to have fallen and called for help, but was quickly pick ed up by other members of the gang and all escaped in the darkness. It was reported that a horse ridden by one of the gang got loose and was captured but this proved to be a mistake.
 Bloodhounds were taken to the scene but failed to take up the trail.

SPECIAL OFFICERS TO
 AID CATTLE DIPPING
Federal Authorities Will See That Cattle Dipping Law
 is Enforced

The latest move in the h. dependence county tick war became known Friday morning when w. A. Mcdonald, head of the animal husbandry de- partment of the United States agricultural extension service for Arkansas, announced that 12 deputy sheriffs would be sworn in to assist the dipping inspectors in enforcing the cat tie dipping quarantine now in force in this county.
 This squad of deputy sher- ifs will take charge of the dipping work in the trouble zone, which lies in the south west part of the county, ac- cording to MT. Mcdonald. The trouble centers in and around Jamestown, about 10 miles southwest of Batesville, where J. E. Jeffery, dipping inspector was killed, and acording to the plans made known by MT. Me Donald the department plans to establish a camp for the special officers near there which is to be used as head quarters for the dipping work.
 These men will be divided into squads of from three to four, and each squad will be assigned to a different vat in the trouble zone, working un- der the direction of the dip- ping inspector assigned to that special vat. Just how long the men will be kept in the trouble zone was not made known. However, they will probably be kept there during the entire summer, or until the quarantine was lifted from the county.
 These men will have full power to act in all emergen- cies. They will have authority to dip all cattle in that sec. tion, and in cases where the cattle owners are opposed to dipping they will be instructed to dip the cattle regardless of their statements. In cases where they are forced to dip their cattle against the owners consent, they will charge $3 a head for this work. The cat tie owners will be forced to pay this and in case they re- fuse the cattle will be sold at auction, the costs of dipping going to the government and the remains to the county gen. eral fund.
