I'm sending Donahue in against
Carney tonight with instructions to
win by a knockout" declared pea
nuts" Schieberl, manager of Johnny
this morning. 81 want the fans to
realize that Johnny is really on the
road to his old time form"
Donahue and Carney will appear
in Moline Turner hall tonight, as
principals on the card arranged by
the Anderson Athletic club of Mo-
line. The boys are billed to box
10 3-minute rounds. Bum Sells,
the Rock Island roly-poly, and
Morris Waeyaert of Moline, are
scheduled for the semi windup of
six rounds, two minutes in length.
Young Caesar of East Moline and
Young Snyder. also of East Moline,
will clash in the curtain raiser
over the four-round route.
Donahue and Carney, the main
event performers, are real wielders
of the padded mitts. Johnny was at
one time considered the coming
champion but encount-
cred unfortunate obstacles in his
forward path of progress. He stag
ed a comeback a year ago but was
because of undertaking his
opponent. Donahue is one of those
fellows who will not give up be-
cause he runs into bad luck. He
is a fellow with lot of pluck. He
is a fayorite in the tri-cities and
in Moline. Johnny is the
calibre of fighters who is a credit
TO the game.
The first bout will begin at $50
o'clock.

Undismayed by the fumes of
gasoline and oil that fill the at
mosphere of the land. the horse
is far from passing into that
limbo where reside the diplo-
docus, The brontOsaur and other
prehistoric mammals. Quite to
the contrary the guild of horse
lovers is increasing year by
year. And by horse lovers is not
meant those who breed thor
Oughbreds for the turf of the
trOtting circuits, or those who
patr0nize the same. The ref
erence is to lovers of the out.
doors who use the horse for
sheer sport and diversion. For
instance, figures just compiled
by the Horse Association OF
America, which were submitted
TO the writer today, show that
throughout the country at the
present time some 10000 bust
ness men are faring abroad
each morning on horseback as a
matter of exercise and recrea-
ton.

Johnsbury Winter Sports club and
several others Friday evening 1t
was decided to open the nicipal
skating rink on Sundays from
1.30 to ) in the afternoon and
from $50 to 10 in the evening. It
was also decided to make no res
trictions as to who could use the
rink on SUNDAYS. thus throwing il
open to the children as we'll as to
adults.
The idea of having the rink used
certain hours exclusively for
hockey players was discussed and
the attention of the members pre-
sent was called to the fact that
the boys are seriously talking of
forming a hockey club. If this is
done it is possible that hockey
matches could be arranged and the
people of st, JohnSbury could have
a chance TO see outdoor as well as
indoor contests.

that Edgefeld is "wide open," in so
far as danger of their apprehension
and arrest goes. We need such a
strong sentiment and such an atmos-
phere for law enforcement that men
of this type will feel unwelcome here
and will find some other market for
their stuff, instead of dumping it up
on Edgefield with increasing bcldness.
Think of your forefathers! Think
of posterity," said President Adams
on one occasion. Let US bear in mind
the efforts and sacrifices of those who
have almost sweat blood in the past
in order to improve conditions in
Edgefeld, making a New Edgefeld
of the Old Edgefield of more Or less
unsavory reputation, and too let US
bear in mind our duty to %posterity,
handing down to our children and our
children's children even a cleaner and
better Edgefeld than we received
from those who have gone before.

"With malice toward none, with char

better place in which to rear our boys
