CLOCK GOVERNS
DAILY ACTIONS
OF MOLINE BOY
To Follow Rigorous Schedule Up
to Dag Preceding Important
Clash.
BY ]. L. HUGHES.

Eddie Anderson, MOLINE pdhIaan
flash, Sunday began intensive
training for his clash with Pal
Moore of Chicago. held by many
to be the best in the bantam d.
vision, which is to be the feature
OF the program in the Coliseum,
April 20.
Eddie has accepted a schedule
that is governed by the clock. Be-
1ieying that nothing is to be gained
by non-regulated, hapaZard sort OF
work, he will have set time for
each stunt observed during the
days between now and the battle.
Although he has been keeping
himself fit by daily workouts in
his gymnasium, the rigor of the
grind was delayed until yesterday.
At 6 o'clock this morning he was
up and out on the road for an
hour, accompanied by his staff or
trainers. According to reports
Eddie brought them all in with
tongues hanging, while he showed
few wear and tear effects.
At s o'clock Eddie has breakfast
and for the remainder of the morn
ing takes things comparatively
easy. He is billed to work an hour
in the gymnasium each afternoon.
Bedtime hour has been set at .
o'clock
This is the program in brief that
Anderson will observe carefully
each day until a week from We'd
nesday. The daily roadwork is ex-
pected to put him in excellent con-
dition to cope with the speed tao
tics Of Moore.
Eddie is mapped out for line of
battle by which he hopes to show
himself the equal, if not the super
Tor of Pal. Reports which have
seeped through indicate that Eddie
plans to keep Moore in the corners
as much as possible and thereby
nullify the latter's great footwork
TO a certain extent Eddie be-
lieves that if he can keep the Chi
cagoan pocketed he will be able
to register damaging blows.

Anderson Plude was scheduled to
arrive in Moline at 4:40 this aft
ernoon.
The Des Moines youth should
prove a great asset toward prepar-
ing the Moline flash for this i'm
portant engagement. He is one OF
the fastest feathers in the middle
west and can also catch and place
hefty wallops. Plude has a queer
l style and carries a bag full oil

alert continually Harold has sew
eral stunts similar to those used
by Pal Moore and a better sparrins
mate could not have been secured
by Anderson.

The signing late Saturday OF
Jack Hanlon of Des Moines, vel
terweight champion of the Eighth
division, to oppose Johnny Show
ers of Davenport in the semi-wind-
up. completed the Anderson-Moore
card Hanlon is under the man
agement of Tommy Ryan, the same
man who developed Harold Plude,
which should indicate that he is a
real battler. Davenport fans have
taken a liking to Showers of late
and want to see him given a real
test. One thing in Showers favor,
he always gives the fans a real
fight and those who love to hear
the thud of the haymakers will en-
joy a rare dessert.
All ticket agencies announce a
big demand for ring-side seats.
