INDIANS BATTLE
WITH bATTERyB
Quad.city Semi.pro Title Stake In
Douglas Park Grid Clash;
Both on Edge.

Memories of a few years ago
when home boys comprised the
personnel of tri-cities' semi-profes-
sional football teams, before. the
days Of the postgraduate Inde-
pendents, Bears, Cardinals, Day.
ton Triangles and the Canton Bull
dogs, will be recalled at Douglas
park in Rock Island tomorrow aft
ernoon.
The Moline Indians. as good a
home talent eleven as ever repre-
scented that city, and claimants of
the quad-city semi-pro grid title
for the last three years, will defend
it, claim against the Battery B
team of Davenport. This is the
first year in the field for the Sol
der outfit. Its name is new
word in MOline's gridiron vocabu-
larry. The strength of the Battery
aggregation might well be estimat-
ed by its showing against the
strong Kalona, Iowa, team Turkey
day. The Davenporters lost, 6 to
0, and it was only break of the
game that gave the home team the
victory. Kalona was predicted to
beat the Soldier eleven decisively.
Two weeks ago the Moline In
dams played 6 to tie with Ka-
Iona. The Indians did no better
than hold their own. This COMPARE
son is an indication that tomor-
rows tilt will be a terrific fight
and a battle well worth seeing.
The fact that the members of the
two contesting teams tomorrow are
playing football because they love
the game insures the fans of a
real struggle. The money they
make is of secondary consideration.
Boys that work six days week.
then practice from three to four
nights of the week and play on the
alleged day Of rest, must love the
game. This is the case with to-
morrow's contestants.
The Indians Will enter the fray in
fairly good condition. kimball has
been unable to attend this week S
drills because of his bunged up
ankle and may not don a suit but
Sill and Versluis will alternate in
the backfield. Brindley will be at
quarter and Blancke and Alsene
will probably start at the halves,
with Iorgenson at fullback.
The Indians will have a slight
weight advantage, according to
figures submitted by managers of
the two teams. but the Battery
claims to attain its success with
speed.
None Of Battery BIS men was in
jured in the Turkey day fray.
The tilt is scheduled to start at
$780,. Competent officials have
been hired. 1t should be good
game, one we'll worth any fans time
and money.

WEST VIRGINIA
IN MUCH DEMAND
Mountaineers Not Likely, However
to Accept Any of Three,
Offers.

Morgantown, w. Va, Dec. 1.-The
West Virginia university football
team, which closed its season un-
defeated yesterday, already has had
three offers Of post-season games
extending over the Christmas holi-
days. It is unlikely, however, that
any will be accepted IS the players
and officials are satisfied to rest on
the laureis already won. The team
broke training after the game yes
terday in which Washington and
Jefferson was defeated.
Several kilograms have been re-
ceived by Mountaineer authorities
coming from newspapers and 9TH
ers. asking what claim West VIII
ginia will make on the eastern in
tercollegiate title. The reply has
been that West Virginia makes No
claim whatever to the title and will
be satisfied with whatever standing
is given the eleven by the critics.

BERNSTEIN GETS
] BETTER CHANCE
TO SHOW CLASS
Yonkers Kid Rising
il, Lightweight
Glass.
BIZ FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1872, by The Argus.l :.
New York, Dec. 2. = One week
from Monday night Jack Bernstein,
the sensational Yonkers bruiser,
win get real chance to show
whether he is actually light
weight contender.
Bernstein is booked for a 10
round affair with Eddie kid Wag-
ner, of Philadelphia. Not that the
latter is such a wise, but he has
had lot of experience and II
Bernstein can stow him away the
Yonkers boy will have stepped
that much farther along the road
that leads to fame and much
money.
This Yonkers lad looks to the
writer, who has seen him in his
last two battles, to be real conner,
He has yet to feel the swipe OF a
sleep producing wallop = in fact
has never been knocked off his feet
in scrap. His outpointing of
Elmo Flores by a margin as wide
as the international high seas
limit was most impressive. 1t will
be remembered that the judges had
on heavily smoked glasses that eve
ming and called the bout a draw.
Then more recently, when he beat
Pal Moran at the Commonwealth
club. the fans anu the experts be-
gan to look him over real critically.
Club promoters said today they
consider Bernstein one of the best
drawing cards among all the light
weights around these diggings. He
is willing to mill it and does. He
has shown clever footwork and US
ually good defense for man of his
comparatively short experience. He
has always been in fine physical
shape when he fights and is per-
sonally a very likeable chap. II
he can only keep from letting his
success go to his head. instead OF
keeping it behind his punches, he
is sure to be one of the best pros
poets developed this winter.
The. same night of tine Bernstein
Wagner bout there will be three
other ten-round battles at the Gar
den melee. Sammy Mandell, Chi
cago, will meet Harvey Bright, who
casually announced today that he
expects to be one of the escort
which will accompany the bruised
form OF Mandell to an ambulance
train after the fight. Both boys
will weigh in at about 124 pounds.
Charley Beecher and Frank Gar
cha of Los Angeles will perform in
the third. and Irish Johnny Curtain
Of Jersey and Pee Wee Kaiser of
st. Louis will met in the fourth of
the scheduled ten round ARRAYS.
1t is most fervently to be hoped
that the French boxing federation
does not crawfish on it's ruling that
barred Sikh from the ring forever,
as cable reports of today report.
The game can very we'll get along
without Sikh and his kind. In fact,
it will have to clean out all sucl
rowdies as Sikh il it is to survive
the never-ending opposition to it.

LYNCH TO BOX
MIDGET SMITH
Will Meet Harlem Blond in New
York After Engagement With
Anderson.

New York, Dec. Midget Smith
the tiny Harlem blond, who has
been shooting at the bantamweigh'
championship for several years, is
to get another crack at the coveted
crown. Midgey has been matched
to meet Joe Lynch, the present ii
tle-holder, for Is rounds in Madi-
son Square garden, Dec. %.
Lynch has not been seen much
here since he grabbed the title last
summer by knocking over Johnny
Buff at the New York Velodrome
The west slider turned in one of his
worst battles against Jack (Kid)
Wolfe following that tilt with
Buff, and the. state boxing com.
missioners then ruled that Joseph
could not do battle in the garden
again until he had reestablished
himself as real champion.
Lynch since then has been knock
ing them over for several weeks on
tour, and thereby earned pardon
from the boxing officers. The ban
has been lifted and Joseph is at
liberty to defend his title once
more in the garden.
