HOW DOES GOLF
BUG BITE? ONE
HIT is ENOUGH
Attacks Un.Uory Who
Tries Luck on the
Links.

Chicago, April 5.-How does the
golf bug" bite? Those persons
who held a symposium on the golf
bug" in Chicago yesterday were
not entymologists or bacteriolo-
gists, but habitues of the golf links
who had been infected by the bite
of this virulent germ, and they dis
cussed the nature of the genus.
A golf bug" the participants in
the clinic quickly decided, is a
person of either sex, and between
the cradle and the grave as to age,
who is enamored of the game of
golf. The golf bug" however, tie
discussion evolved, is the injecting
something that attacks the unwary
person who once tried his luck on
the links by order of a doctor or in
jesting bravado, only to be stung
and incurably inoculated, so that
he talks and dreams of little else
during the rest of his life.
How does it sting and when? No
less a person than the former ma
tianal amateur and open champion,
Chick" Evans. put it this way:
The potential victim goes to the
golf course feeling rather foolish
and yet with paternal sensation
that he will soon show them how
easily the little ball, lying quietly
at his mercy, can be whipped into
submission with the heavy head of
the club. He misses the pellet
once or twice and becomes both
angry at himself and stiffened with
freight or fear he will fail again.
He eventually hits the ball, now
topping it along the ground, now
hooking it or slicing it far to one
side.
Thus he proceeds for the most
part of 8 or even Is holes. But
some place during the round, he
happens to hit a good clean spot,
and the ball flies away into space,
with a whizz that seems to fulmin-
ate from the crack of the club
head on the ball. 1t sails and sails
and the heart of the player surges
to his mouth and an inexpressible
sensation of ineffable pleasure
spreads throughout the body of the
man who has been stung by the as
yet unisolated golf germ"
No toxophilite ever impinged a
bulls eye at 100 yards with SO
great an effusion of pleasure. and
the virus courses through every
vein. He is golfer forevermore
His next shot may be poor and his
succeeding ones worse, but he goes
on, ever trying for a repetition of
that supreme joy of a well-timed
and sweet shot And that is the
way the golf bug bites.

READY
TO DEPART ON
JAUNT SOUTH
Coach Lundgren Hopes for Early
Start Toward Big Ten Cham
pi0nship.

Urbana, Ill, April with the
Illinois baseball nine, champions of
the Big Ten conference last season,
leaving on its southern training
trip Friday, April z, Coach Lund-
gren is busy fitting his players into
their proper places.
The squad consists of nearly all
the players on last years team, but
throwing power of four members,
Durant, Vogel, Peden and Roettger,
has been slowed up by injuries re-
ceived in football last fall, and
they are receiving treatment to put
them in condition for the coming
season.
Coach Lundgren believes it es-
sential to the titular hopes this
season to get an early start, for
the championship may be decided
in the opening conference battle
with Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Coach Lundgren stated that he
intended taking IA players, five of
whom will be pitchers. His pitch
ing staff this season will be select
ed from Jackson, Barnes, Roettger.
Mccain, Banker. Mohr. O'Conner
and Wevrman, while he has but
one catcher, Doc Dougherty. Cap
tain McCurdy is also a good back
stop, but he is needed at first base.
Should something unforeseen hap
pen to Dougherty, McCurdy would
be transferred to backstop.
The lllini coach has taken Otto
Vogel from center field and placed
him at third base. This has neces-
STATED sending Stewart to short
stop, and leaving the. center field
position to Dick Reichle. Swede
Hellstrom appears to be a fixture
at second base, while in the out
field Coach Lundgren has Cap
Crossley, Don Peden and Dick
Reichle. Peden's throwing arm is
still weak from the injury received
in the Ohio State football game in
the fall, but it is improving.
Dutch Durant, Shorty Horton.
Maxwell and Doubat are the best
infield utility players, all of them
having shown much promise. UtiI-
ity f1elders are Bissel and Baer.
both of whom are speedy PLAYERS
and good at the bat.
Following is the schedule for the
southern trip:
April S-University of Mississip-
pi, Oxford, Miss.

ISLANDERS TO
SHOW SPEED IN
TRACK EVENTS
Good Practices Held at AugustanA /;
Quad-City Indoor Event to
Be April 10.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

Although the bad weather has
kept the high school track men
under wraps, Coal Kimmel is en-
thusiastic over his squad and is
planning on showing some real
speed for the opening event of the
season-the Quad City meet, Satur-
day, April Is, in the Augustana
gymnasium
The lads were out to Reservoir
field for some outside action last
night, but the rain drove them in
before they had a chance to get
going. Recently all of the prac-
tees have been confined to the
Augie gym
Burning and Burch, in the half
mile, and Searle in the mile, are
clipping off some real speed and
bid fair to put up strong competi-
ton. Prentice and Stanbaugh are
also running a good mile. Wilson
and DOMAIN are showing up good in
the half-mile event. In the so, 100
and 2O-yard runs, Captain Tax
man, Kohn, Houstonn, Van Tuyl
and Whitfield look like the best
bets
Material is scarce in the shot
put March and Mayer are candi-
dates, along with Anderson, who is
showing to advantage in the discus
throw. The discus will not be an
inside event, but Kimmel is certain
that Anderson will rank high when
the outdoor events are held.
Reed and Shelter will set a live
ly pace in the low hurdles and with
Payne are expected to look good in
this event Burch, Shelter, Whit
field and Blair are all making
height in the pole vault. Glass in
the high jump is being displayed
by Burning and Kjellstrand; in
the standing jump, by Shelter,
kjellstrand and Burch, and in the
quarter-mile by Hollingsworth,
Hetter, Rotenberg and Moody
Coach Kimmel claims that if rec
ords set last year mean anything
in this years event the Crimson
and Gold is going to step out in
front, as the boys are lettering
these marks in practice.

QUINTET FROM
CITY AWAITING
CALL TO DRILL
YqG
KimbaIl, Swanson, Gr1ener Brotn-
b. ers and Mckinney to Be
as Given Tryouts.
BY ]. L. HUGHES.

When Jim Councilman, manager
OF the Islander baseball club, looks
over his candidates for the payroll
a week from Saturday, there Will
be a quintet of Rock Island boys
ready to make their bids for posi-
lions. They are Rookie" Kimball,
Ole Swanson, Carl and Bill Greiner
and Roy Mckinney.
Kimball is to make a bid for
third base, a berth he has held
down not without much credit to
himself on a large number of anna
teur and semi-pro clubs the last
several years. Rookie" possesses
the physique and fight that are i'm
portant assets for a third sacker,
and too, he has a large pair OF
hands, which usually are OF ma
terial advantage to the man who
must stop vicious drives.
Ole Swanson hopes to show
enough class to fit in as a backstop.
Ole has gained considerable expeT-
fence on the sandlots and his
friends are confident he will make
his competitors show nearly every
thing in the category of good
catching to beat him.
Carl Griener is a first baseman,
while Brother Bill pastimes in the
outfield Both are anxious to break
into professional circles and prom
Use 10 make everyone else hustle.
Roy Mckinney is q versatile per-
former He can play the outfield or
fit in at an infield position equally
well. The fastest semi-pro clubs
in this vicinity have always seized
at the opportunity to secure Nc
kinney's services.
Sign ShOrtStOp.
In Eddie Kaufman of Springfield
Ohio, Manager Councilman believes
he has secured a real gem. The
youngster, who can play either
shoTtstop or second base. has been
signed to a contract upon recon-
mendation Of Earl Sykes, first base
man and manager of the Blooming
ton team. Sykes is confident Kauf-
man will cut a wide swath in the
Mississippi Valley league and be
ripe for advancement in another
season. He urged Manager Conzel-
man TO nail the youngster to con-
tract. and Jim acted.
A right handed twirler in the
person of Paul J. Hamilton OF
DOwagiac. Mich, has also been
added to the list under contract.
This will mark Hamilton's first
year out in professional company
but from all reports he has shown
himself worthy of a thorough trial

TALK FULTON
AS OPPONENT
FOR |. FIRPO
South American Heavyweight
Showing More Class With
Each New Start.
By FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argusl
New York, April 5.-Fred Fulton
may be the next opponents of Luia
Angel Firpo. the South American
pugilist, who is creating so favor
able an impression upon the boxing
experts of the country. In putting
away Joe Mccain in Newark last
night Firpo did a workmanlike bit
of work. Joseph, albeit a third
rater, is no set up and he has
as hard a Wallop as any heavy in
the country outside of Dempsey.
More than that he has a concrete
jaw and very seldom has he taken
the oount from any one.
He would have taken it from
Firpo if the referee had permitted
him to come to the bat in the sixth
round of the fight in question. To-
ward the end of the fifth Mccain,
who had been fighting nicely, led
with a quick, snappy left. 1t was
well aimed and caught F'irpo in
the eye. That was all right But
Luiz saw the blow coming and in
stead of avoiding it he let drive a
right cross. You could hear the
crash all over the big building.
Down went Mccain. He was saved
by the bell. When the time came
for him to go to the center of the
ring Joe seemed to have an idea
that he was in a movie house and
wondered what all the excitement
was about So at the instance OF
the referee he was led gently
away.
Both Use Let's.
The fight started with some left
hand work by both men. FirpO
was feeling out his opponent and
thus Joe got by to the great salts
faction of his friends for five
rounds. In fact the third round
Mccain caught Firpo on the chin
with a right hook that sent the
South American to his knees. Any
ordinary fighter would have gone
to sleep as a result of that hetty
wallop. But it was right here that
Firpo showed qualities that make
it appear he will be in the ring
against Jack Dempsey within a
year. He disdained to wait for the
count but sprang to his feet and
DeSdu W udllllleI uCCdIiu oil OfEl
the ring. In the rounds that re-
manned Ffrpo merely set calmly
and clearly about the business Of
wearing Mccain down In the
process he took several more
clinking cuts on the chin but shook
them off as a Newfoundland shakes
off water.
Is Improving.
Firpo has improved since the
night he put Sailor Maxted away.
Jimmy De Forest. who has the
young man in hand, is bringing him
along carefully and skillfully. He
is still a rough gem-but don't for
get he is a gem and will take on
high polish if De Forest continues
his present course.
Fulton may be a little clever for
F1irpo just now, but considering
Fred's present declining status the
Argentinian may be able to scare
the pIasterer sufficiently to cOuU-
teract his comparative lack of box
ing knowledge.
