D|MS HOPES
FOR A LOAN
Says Bankers Must Have
Their Program Ac-

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 19.-J. p.
Morgan's statement that he told
the German ambassador that pros
poets of q loan from international
bankers were NO better today than
they we're last June has cleared the
air Of rumors and fantastic theo-
ries OF American aid to Europe.
Mr.. Morgan said what the depart
ment Of state was unable to say in
answer to the unfounded fears Of
the 'irreconcilables" and others
who believed some radical depar-
ture in American policy was forth
coming. But Mr.. Morgan's an
nouncement really has another sig
nificance It means that he has
told France that aid from the al
lied bankers cannot be given unless
the program drawn up by the in
ternational bankers committee last
June is revived.
The key to the future lies in the
carefully worded document issued
then by Mr.. Morgan and his col
leagues. Win France permit her
member Of the reparations commits
sion to vote with the majority and

Moline Attorney Will Be
Chief Assistant to Hadley
In Prosecuting Indicted

George w. Wood, promi-
nent Moline attorney, has
accepted the invitation to
become chief assistant to
Charles W. H a d Hey Of
Wheaton, ILL.,, in the prose-
cution of Rock Islands vice,
crime and graft cases, it was
announced today. Mr.. Wood
is recognized as one of Rock
Island county's able and
capable lawyers.
I. 1t is recalled that Mr.. Wood was
appointed special prosecuting at
torney when in 1912 the late O. L.

land county, and States Attorney

grand jury Investigation. The ap-
pointment of Mr.. Wood at that time
was made by Judge r. W. Ohm.
sted at the request Of the grand
Jury. Bruner and Magill were in
dicted for malfeasance. Bruner died
before his case was called for trial,
and the charges against Magill
were nolle pressed.
The direction of the prosecution
will rest solely with Mr.. Hadley,
whose reputation for exacting penal
tiesfin criminal cases was estab-
lished while he served as states
attorney of Dupage county. 1t is
understood that a Rock Island at
torney will be named later as Sec
ond assistant to Mr.. Hadley, giving
the state a staff of three prose-
cutors and an organization which
is expected to prove as efficient in
prosecuting the defendants as the
attorney generals office has been
thus far in obtaining indictments.
Mr. Hadley returned to Wheaton
last night after coming to an agree

whereby no attempt to procure
bail for the former chief of police

JOHN M'CRAW in
EFFORTS TO WIN
WORLDS SERIES
Giants Now Have Task To
Get Ready for Big
Ball Contests

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-~With the
main part of his business finished for
the season, John McGraw now faces the
task of getting his New York Giants
ready for the world S series. 1t will be
some job.
Pitching will be his big problem in
the series. 70 overcome the very OBJ
vious weakness in his hurting staff, he
will have to depend on stick work and
speed on the bases to carry him over
the jumps.
Outside of the box the team is strong
on the defense. He has two good catch
crs, Il good outficld and Il fine infield.
In all probability the infield will
start with Kelly, Frisch Bancroft and
Groh working.
As the Yankees arc without a regular
left handed pitcher, Casey Stengel prob
ably will play center field in every
game between Young and Meusel. Ca
rsey is II terrific hitter, but not so muci,
,on fast fielding and throwing. The
Giants are weaker this year than they
were last fall in the series. Were il
not for the presence of the driving Me
Graw ON the bench, the Giants might
be lucky 10 win one game in the series.
It must be remembered that the
Giants battlcd through the hottest part
of the pcnnant race with terrible pitch
ing and nothing out fine hitting and a
mighty game heart carried them
through.
In the pinehcs the Giants ought to
outhit the Yanks and certainly they
viii out foot them on the bases. A few
stretched hits and some daring steals,
Tor which the Giants are noted, may
pull them through, but it is doubtful.
Curve ball pitching stopped the
Yanks last year but it is not likely
they viii be as helpless before the
twisters this year.

Battling Sikh, Champion of
Europe, To Come To
u. S. for. Scrap
By JOHN c EEIEN
United Press Leased Wire

PARIS, Sept. 26.-i'rance is still ttlA-
ing of the shattered ring lido, Car2eh-
tier, and the new hero, Sikh.
While the badly battered Georges
is mourning in bed over the disfigur :
ment of his handsome film face, the
cabarets are winning and dining the ne"
champion.
The wining, insofar as Sikh is con
cerncd, has been confined mostly to his
admirers. A strange change has come
over the battling one. He has sworn
off absinthe and has reduced his con
sumption of wine to one glass.
81 m the champion now and | got
to act like a champion, he said last
night when friends protested over his
refusal to partake in the hliarlty on
the many celebrations going on IN the
speedy sections.
.sGive me water,;' he said later in
the evening before he departed with
the announcement that his wife viii
hit me on the jaw if | 90 home drunk
Sikh is married to white woman
and he has II small family. He appar-
emily has been warned that one coiored
champion got himself in bad by loose
morals. and for the time, at least, he
seems to have taken new resolutions.
The color line does not exist III
France and Ski mas been showered with
attentions from a certain class of white
women who live i'll Paris, but he has
avoided them and so far has been con
filming his attentions to his own color.
81 IN family man and | only go
one woman,' he said.
Sikh is 30 years old. He came to
Paris from st. Louis, Africa, with the
French colonial troops at the beginning
of the war and won the Medaille Mil
taire and the CroiX de Guerre.
He was mustered out in Paris and de
cidcd to remain there and take UP
boxing. He ism t much to look at, bu'
tie crs twhile dc boniaire Georges has
nothing on his c0nqueror now from a
standpoint of beauty.
Surgical experiments are working on
Carpenter : couptcnance in the effort
TO avoid permanent disfigurcment, but
it is thought he will carry lifelong
scar from the long cash cut i'll his cheek.
His ewes are still almost closed ana
his lips are swollen to three times their
natural size. 1t will be several days
before he will be able to walk or use
his hands.
One of Sikh 5 most noted character
istics is his spirit of obedience to white
advisers. While he rules his own race
with rod of IRON, he hops around to
every crack of ms manager S whip.
Physically he is q fine specimen.
Long arms and Il well muscled back and
pair of long shoulders give him terrific
driving power He is almost catiike
on his feet and as far as is known he
is almost impervious TO punishment. lie
has been down in every one of his
fights but he was always up unhurt
without taking IL count.
He has boundless ambition and aches
with wanderlust. He wants to see
Inc world little, but the United
States remains on his unexplorcd list.
He wants to go to America and as
soon us MS manager gets some better
offers from American promoters there
is no doubt he will make the journey.
SO far only one offer-$20,00O from
Tom O 'Rourke--has been received and
that was turned down.

BASEBALL CHIEF
SEES SUCCESS IN
PLAN FOR GAMES
Harry Kelly Believes Big
League Teams Can Be
Brought to City

Harry Kelly, president OF the I'M
perial Valley Baseball League, believes
it will be Il "cinch - to raise the 81 900
guarantee necessary to bring the big
league ball players here for game on
November !. AS told in Saturday s
Press, Arthur Summers of Philadelphia
is promoting a tour of American League
stars who desire to play game in FL
Centre on that date. Summers names
his terms as $1,000 guarantee and SO
per cent of the gate receipts should
they exceed $4,000.
After making inquiry around the
valley, Kelly is of the opinion that u
sufficient amount of money can be
put up in the valley cities to guarantee
the appearance of the team and that
the venture can be made financial
success. Summers is promoting his
tour through the chambers of com
merce in the towns where games are
desired and though no word has as yet
been received from him at the local
chamber it is believed he will be
heard from this week. In case the
Chamber of Commerce does not chre
to 90 into the venture, Kelly is of the
opinion that there are enough men in
terested in baseball in the valley to put
up the amount of the guarantee and
promote the game themselves.
There will be "a players in the party
making the tour, including "Tillie"
Walker, Stanley Covaleskie, Cy Perk-
ms, and other American League players
sufficient to put two good teams in the
field.
Kelly is decidedly optimistic about
such u game and believes there are
plenty of "fans' in the valley who,
like him, desire to see real bif leaguers
in action

u. S. C. PROSPECTS
LOOKING GOOD FOR
FOOTBALL HONORS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3 6.-Coach
Gloomy GUS Henderson of the I'm
iversity of California has wonderful
prospects for his football eleven. Gus
is all popped up and beaming with
smiles; in fact it is the first time the
Trojan mentor has let the optimistic
waves cmanate from his person. Yes,
the Trojan pigskin prospects look bright
for 1928.
And while Henderson is bemoaning
the fate of his present varsity and
placing his orders with the undertaken,
freshman coach, Bill Hess, is putting
his large squad of peag'eeners through
their tricks. This is the first year that
Hess has seen a Cardinal and Gold
grdiron and after giving his proteges
the double 0, and after comforting with
Gus, the fresh mentor gives out the
information that his first year squad
knows more football than its color
suggests.
The present aggregation of young
sters represents the cream of the
Southland as well as goodly picking
Of gridiron material from the central
and northern part Of the state. Never
before in the history Of the institu-
ton has such wealth of green candi-
dates made in roads to the home of the
Trojans, and naturally Hess is all
filled with joy.

KELLY PRAISES
PRESS FOR BIG
SPORT EFFORTS

H. H. Kelly, president Of the I'm
perial Valley Baseball League, said
today that he is delighted to learn
that the Press will operate a mini
ature Worlds Series on an electri-
cal scoreboard during the coming
fight between the ''Yanks and
the Chants
"This is just what the people
want said Mr.. Kelly, land also
Just what they need. Too many of
us are wrapped up in business af-
fairs and it will do us good to get out
couple of hours each day during
the series and root for our favorite
team. The World s Series is not
only a national, but an information
al institution, for the results of the
games are broadleasted all over the
world and the homesick Yankee over
in the Orient, is just as much inter
ested in following the series as fan
who is present at the actual game.
Here in Fl Centre, where we never
get a chance to see a big league
game, it will be mighty welcome.
The Press is to be congratulated on
it's decision to give us chance to
practically "see' the series and 1t
shows that the paper is on "a par
with those of the big cities. While !
am talking, might say this also
goes for the daily sport sheet of the

FRANCE AFTER NEXT OLYMPIC

While all of the European nations
are actively at work on the develop
ment of 1924 Olympic team, the
United States is oil tangled up in Il
petty political fight over the manage
'ment and selection of the team.
Down at the bottom of the fight lsi
IA controversy between the Y. Nj. G..
A., which seeks worldwide control of
all sports, and the Amateur Athletic
Union. which has made some mistakes
in the past, but which has been gen
erallv successful ON Il very difficult
job. -,
The opinion seems to prevail that all
required is to get heads together about
March ], 1924, pick Il team off the
records books and hunt for a boat.
Unless something is done, Uncle Sam
is in for bad disappointment at Paris
in 1924.
Albert Hill, the veteran British mid
die distance runner, who was double
I winner at the last Olympic games, is
reported to have changed his mind
about coming over for the big Ameri-
can indoor meets this winter. He says
he would have accepted an invitation
last wear, but he has definitely and
finally retired.
A. f. Edwards, the colored sprintcr,
who chased the American sprinters to
| the wire in Antwerp, is planning to
come over, however, and Ed Noun
tain, the present British half mile
champion and the world s record holder
for 500 metres, may come with him.
