Pitchers at Bloomington; Gray
Coming Saturday.

Manager Jim Councilman OF the
Islanders. returning from Bloom
ington, missed train connections at
Peoria and is not due to reach
Rock Island until evening. How
ever, he sends word ahead that he
is accompanied by First Baseman
Merrill Babb, Pitchers H. Church,
A. c. Elkins and another twirler
whose name he fails to mention in
his telegram.
The local club has been dicker-
ing for the services of Babb for
tome time. The youngster held Out
in the matter of remuneration. He
went into spring training with the
Bloomington club and later joined
Danville. His home is in Chicago.
Advance information on Pitcher
Church is to the effect that he pas
timed in the Pennsylvania Steel
league last season. which, by the
way, is up among EN- in the mat
ter of talent. The other twirler is
believed to be southpaw.
Elkins is the youngster from
State Line. Ind, who has had two
years of league experience. He
was scheduled to report last Sat
urday with the initial arrivals, but
nothing had been heard from him
until Councilman sent word today
from Peoria that he met Elkins on
the train headed this way.
Preston Gray, who twirled for
Moline in 1917, has come to terms
with the Islanders and will report
Saturday. Gray is a Chicago boy.
who. besides having a year of
league experience, has played years
of baseball in the Chicago City

his own aggregation in that circuit.
At Moline he was regarded as one
of the best young prospects in the
league at that time. He was gifted
with an unusual amount of smoke.

Admission of % Cents TO Be Charg-
cd for Contest ut Douglas
Park Sunday.

First exhibition game on the pre-
season schedule of the Islanders is
slated for next Sunday afternoon
at Douglas park, when the Milan
Inde pendents will be the guests.
The fans of Milan are consider
ably worked IN over the impend-
ing clash of their favorites with
the leaguers and are planning to
attend in plenteous numbers. Aside
from the interest which they natGr-
ally feel in seeing what their town
team can do against the Islanders,
M.laners are also keenly inter
ested in the Rock Island team be-
cause of the fact that two of the
village teams former members are
wearing the league uniform. They
are Paul Wilson. pitcher, and
Erickson, catcher.
The price of admission will be
25 cents to everybody, any place in
the park. At this figure the stands
should be comfortably filled. While
the Islanders are diligently prepar-
ing themselves for their initial test,
the Milan crew is losing no time in
doing likewise. The Independents
have been working out three eve
nings a week for sometime now
and should be in as good condition
for the game as the Islanders, who
will have the benefit of a week of
daily drill.
Chances are that all members of
the Islander roster will have
chance to display their talent.
This game will be one OF three
that the Rock Island club will play

MIR. College President, Mr.. Pro-
lessor, here is hot one for you. 1t
was brought in by one of the pro-
fessional athletic coaches whose
guild at the present time is very
much under fire. This coach, as it
happens, is learned man. There
are other coaches few-hke
him: men who could sit in with a
faculty and discuss the eleusinian
mysteries, argue whether anthro-
pomorphic transcendalism would
vitiate Christianity and so forth,
and so forth. The coach in question
requests that every college pres
ident and professor who chances to
see this column, Immediately i'm
pale himself on the following prop
osition.
IF it were possible. for your in
stitution or class to be placed in
scholastic competition with rival
institutions and classes, would
you be content to lose every match
Could You continue to say to your
influential alumni or to your board
of trustees: Our material is very
poor" We do not have time to
study etc Would you expect to
continue as member of the faculty
very long under these conditions?
You would try to get better
minds in your classes, wouldn't you ?
And would you not make greater
efforts to have your students apply
themselves to their work? Can you
see yourselves tempted to use IN
usual means to get results that
would mean for you continuation
in your chosen field of endeavor?
COR to put the tight on the other
foot, let us imagine that athletics
are the normal purpose of our
schools and scholastics to be the
extra-curricular activities. How
many of our professors would hold
their positions, assuming they put
as little of themselves into their
work as they do at PRESENT."
In other words, our learned coach
suggests that instead of attacking
the professional teacher of sports,
our college authorities study their
methods and thereby attain an eff
cheney they do not now possess.

Bryan Downey put a bad foot for
ward in his tight against Johnny
Wilson in Richards arena on
Boyle's 80 acres there are lot of
shrewd sporting men who believe
that he is a real fighter and able to
make trouble for the best of the
middleweights. He has not figured
much in the prints of late but late
this month he will go against
Frankie Carbone in Indianapolis.
The fight will be followed with in
terest by certain eastern promoters
who have worked up some plans for
the Cleveland boy.
Joe Beckett's stock in England
has taken a rise since Dempsey
sailed from this country and there
is little doubt that he will be pitted
against Jack in the Crystal palace
in London. Beckett seems to have
acquired much needed confidence
of late. Before his battle against
George Cook he placed 500 pounds
of his own money on his chances of
victory.
Freddie Welsh, the former light
weight champion, who lost decis-
ion to Archie Walker. the former
amateur, the other night, was a reil
fighting champion when he held the
title. Welsh was lightweight king
in the days when big purses were
not in existence and though he
fought often he didn't make as much
all told as Leonard receives for
any two fights.
Welsh fought any time a challen-
ger turned up and when Leonard
came along he gave Benny his
chance. Benny has not taken pat
tern by the example of his pred eces-
sor. But some day he will get his,
as all the rest of the title holders
have done. Some say the boy des-
tined to turn the trick is young
