The Island Citys have ended

The Fourth avenue outfit was
handicapped throughout the entire
season by sickness, injuries and
other causes which kept their best

time. Manager Mangelsdorf car
ried a squad of u men during the
season, but on only one or two oc-
casions were more than half that
number able to play Despite these
handicaps, the team won eight ont

George GarIock, sturdy hack

former for the Island Citys. He

DETROIT NEEDS
INFIELD TALENT
Johnny Mann of Evansville Men.
toned as Possibility for
ShOrtstOp.

Detroit, Mich, March 1.-TWO
major" problems confront Tyrus
Raymond Cobb as he inaugurates
his second attempt to pilot the tt
gers into pennant.
The Detroit leader must bolster
up his infield. wrecked last year
when the keystone combination
gave way, and from a coterie of a
dozen pitchers taken into the train
ing camp at August, eight or ten
must be found to bear the brunt OF
the coming campaign On last
years showing, the catching and
outfield corps can hold their own
with anything in the American
league, while Blue and Jones, also
veterans, are without competition
for their places at first and third
this season.
If Pep" Young is back in form
that marked his playing prior to
last year, Manager Cobb's worries
about second base will be ended;
if not, George Cutshaw, the Ma
tionaI league veteran, is expected
to have the call for the post, unless
one of the youngsters aspiring FOR
berth shows major league ability.
At short, the field probably will
be open to recruits only, as Flag
stead, who filled in last year after
DOME Bush was benched, is CLASH
fed as an Outfelder.
Cobb has let it be known that
seven infielders will be carried this
year. in order to assure plenty OF
utility strength, and with Blue and
Jones assured of their jobs. the
fight for the other five places lies
between Young. Cutshaw, S. T.

E. Rigney, Fort Worth; F. c. Her
man, Edmonton, Alta, and H. G.

in the latter part of 1921.
Rigney, who cost Detroit $500,
is considered one of the leading
candidates for short, and glowing
advance notices have been received
of Mann.

Indianapolis, March 13. - Twen-

10th annual 5O0-mile international

Indianapolis motor speedway, al
though the contest is not scheduled
to be run for almost three months,
according to speedway officials.
The event will take place May so.
The advance seat sale to date. it
was said, is the largest since the
annual grind was inaugurated. Or
ders from all parts of the United
States, Canada, Cuba, and from
England, Italy and Honolulu, re-
questing reservations, have been
received, according to |. E. Myers,
secretary and manager. Last years
attendance Of 125, 900 was the great
est that ever crowded into the
speedway grounds, according to
Mr. Myers.

AIMS TO BUILD
UP A FIGHTING
BASEBALL CLUB
Can't Get Started Too Early on
Task, Opinion OF Islander
Manager.
BY ]. L. HUGHES.

Manager Jimmie Councilman OF
she Islanders is a firm believer in
the adage that "the early bird
catches the worm" That's why
Jim arrived in Rock Island Satur-
day night, ready to pitch into the
process of building up this city's
entry in the Mississippi Valley
league championship race.
Jim arrived several days sooner
than expected. When the contract
was signed he said he would reach
here about April l. Recently the
fans association asked him to re-
port March Is if possible, and Jim
replied by coming on Immediately.
Today Councilman was concerned
in inspecting the contracts of play
ers who have already been signed
by the association and approving
them with his signature. In sizing
up the situation, he expressed sat
isfaction over the prospects of pro-
viding Rock Island with a scrappy
ball club: one that will be credit
. to the city.
Jim's idea of baseball is to be in
there fighting every step OF the
way. That he possesses this quail
ity to fine degree was proved last
fall during the football season.
local fans are confident he will be
able to instill every bit as much
spirit and pep into diamond pas
timers as he showed ability to do
on the gridiron.
Glad 10 Get Back.
I'm sure glad to get back to
Rock island is the way Jim ex-
presses himself THE fans here
have impressed me as being among
the best in the world and l am con-
fident that if they are given team
that will fight for everything on the
ball field. Douglas park will be
comfortably filled on all occasions
this coming summer"
The new manager verified re-
ports that he will play the first
base position, although his base
ball experience has been chiefly
confined to backstop duties.
Councilman looks to be in excel
lent physical condition. He con-
tinued to play football for several
weeks after leaving Rock Island
and has not had much time in
which to take on superfuous
weight.
Manager Jim has plans for bring
ing his mother and sister to Rock
Island as soon as he can locate
suitable quarters He is anxious to
secure a furnished home within a
reasonable distance of the baseball
park.

SOWASH MAKES
GOOD SHOWING
AT Ell DORADO

Sometimes there is lot of truth
in the statement that you must
leave home TO make good. Espe
cially is this true in athletics. The
case of Bobby Sowash of Moline is
a recent example. Bobby has
fought several prelims in tri-city
rings but has been regarded as
Just an ordinary prelim fighter.
Last Wednesday night Bobby
fought and decisively defeated
frankie Murray. bantamweight
champion OF Canada, in 10 rounds
at FL Dorado, Ark Murray has
fought many of the leading ban
tams in the United States and Can
ada. He battled Joe Lynch, ex-
bantam champ, at FL Dorado about
three weeks ago. Murray is sched-
uled to box Pal Moore and Jack
in the near future, which
shows the class of opposition that
Bobby was facing. To receive a
refezees decision over man Of
that caliber is an important niche
in the future of Sowash as a boxer.
According to Ell Dorado newspa-
pers many ringsiders were wager

fourth round against Murray. None
him to stay the limit.
Bobby so surprised and pleased the
fans that the promoters of that
city expect to pit him against Jack
Sharkey in the near future. That
sounds a little speedy for the Mo-
line boy, but Sowash has a fighting
heart, and if he defeated Murray
he certainly will make a good
showing against Sharkey. as Jack
is never in condition while Bobby
is taking good care of himself.
Sowash returned to Moline yes
terday and has scarcely a mark on
him. Bobby is very proud OF the
fact that he was introduced into
some high baseball society while
in the south. The New York
Yankees are training at Hot
Springs and many Of them came 70

pleasure OF being introduced %

C0NFERENCET TO
Benefit SPORT
Proposed New College Organization
To Be Launched Soon in
Chicago.

Detroit. Mich, March 13.-Organ-
ization of a Big Eight" conference.
patterned after the Big Ten" of
Western Conference, expected to be
completed in Chicago, Saturday.
March IS, will have a tendency to
increase interest in athletics at
smaller universities and to check
the spread of the professional
evil in such schools, in the opinion
of Charles l.. Bruce of Detroit, one
of the instigators of the new con-
ference idea
Mr.. Bruce, graduate manager of
athletics at the University of De-
troit, is a member of the commit
tee that is drafting proposed rules
for the new organization. With
him on the committee are Coach
X. K. Rockne of Notre Dame. and
William Cofey graduate manager
of Marquette university. Their pro-
posed set of rules will be acted
upon at the Chicago meeting, to be
attended by representatives of each
of the eight schools it is proposed
to place IN the organization at the
start. The schools are University
u betI O4l, hdI Quetle, -NOlFe bdIne,
Michigan Agricultural college, Wa
bash, DePauw. University of Gin
Cinnati and University of Kentucky.
AS tentatively drafted the pro-
posed rules for the new conference
follow closely those governing the
Big Ten" They include the fresh
men and three year rules and re-
quire Is hours of scholastic work
on the part of athletes. Another
proposed rule would prevent an
athlete from participating in con-
ference sports who had at any time
served on a varsity team in any
other institution. The latter regu-
lation would be a decided departure
from usual custom, it is said, and
Mr.. Bruce doubts if it will be
adopted Sponsors of the proposed
rule declare it would check a tend
ency of stutents to Jump"
Under present plans the proposed
conference rules would not become
effective before Jan. l, 1923, as it
would be impossible to enforce
them during the next football sea-
son because most schools have
completed their schedules.
