DEWEY LYLE and
JONES ARE HERE
Former NOtre Dame and Great
Lakes Star One OF Greatest
in the Country.
By ]. L. HCGHES.

Jerry Jones and Dewey Lyle ar
rived this morning. Lyle was de-
layed by missing train, his ar
rival having been expected last
night. Both were hustled out to
camp this morning, where in spite
of rainy weather Manager Conzel-
man is putting his men through
rigorous training.
Jones is classed as one of the
greatest guards in America. While
d member Of the Notre Dame team
he won his spurs in all-American
circles. Later he carried his PROV
ess on as member OF the famous
Great Lakes eleven, and in 1920
broke into professional circles with
the Staley team. Last season Jones
was coach at the University OF
Missouri.
1t is probable that because of
Jerry's great experience and known
ability, he Will be pressed into
service as line coach, thus taking
much of the burden off the snoul-
ders OF Councilman, WHO will give
his attention to perfecting the
machine play Of the backfeld.
Lyle is the same ola Dewey. He
looks fit and ready after a great
year on the diamond as pitcher Tor
the fast Sigourney, Iowa, semi-pro-
feSsional baseball team.
The colony of football players On
Rock river Is growing rapidly. Ten
candidates are nov on nand al.
others are speeding this way. Tie
weather condltions are delaying The
arrival OF "Tillie" Voss and Dutch
Lauer, both of whom are coming
veIland in an automobile.
A piano was delivered to the
camp last night and jazz tunes fair
ly filled the air until 10 o'clock.
Fans Meet Tonight.
Tonight fans who are willing to
cooperate in the sale of season
football tickets will meet in the
Chamber, of Commerce rooms. The
first meeting CT the year brought
out more than a 100 Here's hop
ing as many respond tonight. The
matter of handling pasteboards is
entirely up to the individual. Vol
unteers only are wanted. The
more, of course, the easier it will
be to cover the city from end to
end.
Moline Signs Brindley.
Walter Brindley, one time men,
Der of the Independents, is the lat
est to be signed by the Moline In
CLANS, who on Sunday next will
strive to make the best showing
possible against the formidable ar
ray of talent assembled for the In
dependents. Walter is understood
, to have drawn the assignment OF
quarterback. His educated toe and
all around general ability will
make him bear watching by the
/ Islanders.
Coach Tate Freeberg of the In
dians has called practice for every
night this week at Browning field
to give his men ample opportunity
to approach the condition of the
i Independents. The Moliners, nat
| urally, are not anticipating a vic
tory, but they CO feel that the big.
ger fellows will realize they have
i been in a tough scrimmage when
the curtain falls.

BY WALTER CAMP,


(Copyr1ght, l922, by The Argus.)
Times are certainly changed to-
day. Who would have thought a
decade ago that our football spe-
cialists would become golf devo-
tees? Yet Tad Jones and Captain
Jordan. coach and captain, respec-
lively, of the Yale team, are now
spending their spare time on the
golf links. So, too, is the new ath-
letic director, Jack Blossom, and
Jesse Sweetzer, the new amateur
golf champion, was out on Yafe
field looking over the football ma
terial, perhaps wondering whether
he should don the moleskins and
resume the career which he began
at Exeter. Devereux Milburn and
other star poloists condition them
selves for polo by playing lots of
golf in the off season.

No Radical Suggestions.
From the standpoint Of one who
has been concerned with the rules
for number of years, the writer
can say with graceful emotions
that there was an absence Of radi-
cal suggestions. 1t is not deter
mined whether the interpretations
brought out at the meeting were OF
sufficient importance to warrant
the rules committee in issuing a
supplementary slip, to be attached
to the playing rules. Determination

Speaking About Long Service in the
Ring, HoW About Jeff Smiths Record?
BY BOB DORMAN.

Six hundred and twenty-three
fights in the ring.
That is what Jeff Smith claims
for his record.
Johnny Dundee has been men
toned as the fighting kid. but
Smiths record shades Dundee's.
Of course Smith counts fights for
charity and war exhibitions, but
many a boxer has lost prestige in
such encounters by going into them
unprepared.
And Smiths record shows that
he never has been knocked off his
feet.
With 623 fights to- his credit one
would be apt to think Of jeff as a
battered-up old man. Instead he
is cleancut young fellow. without
a mark or a scar on him to show
for his numerous appearances in
the ring.
Fees All Right.
Smith says: II feel no bad eff
fects from my many fights.
Zone reason is that I always have
taken good care Of myself.
Even when l haven't a fight in
view l take a little light exercise
every day, eat plenty of good. plain
food. and get plenty Of. sleep with
lots of fresh air thrown in.
THAT keeps me in condition, and
condition is the big factor in the
ring, or in any other business.
Il have always tried also to keep
/, the other fellow from landing on
me solidly. It's not how you can
take EN-, but how you can dodge
EN-. A man can only take SO
many hard punches before he he
gins to feel their effect.

High school gridiron warriors
settled down to hard work this
week. OF course, there is little for
the local boys to fear from the
East Moline lads next Saturday,
but numerous faults showing in the
alumni game remain to be correct
ed before Rock Island can feel on
easy street.
Early season reports indicate Mo-
line high school has bright hopes
for another tri-city championship.
Coach Senneff has an unusually
large number of experienced can
didates who already are showing
formidable possibilities.
Don't forget about the foot.
ball meeting tonight. After all,
success Of the Independents
hinges upon the attitude of the
great mass of fans. If one
can't afford donation, 1t is
possible he may be able to give
some time to selling season
tickets. The spirit is all that
is needed.

dams promise to be more of a

be the feature. Right now Thorpe

SMALL FRUITS BRING
 ENGLISH PROSPERITY

LONDON, July 18.-"Many men who ten years ago were farm labor CTS now drive their own motorcars." |"
 That sounds like an extract from a story about California or some other American state where farmers sometimes make lot of money. But it isn't. It is taken from a re- port of the big profits made in Hampshire. Kent, Lincolnshire and a few other counties of this old land by farmers who raise fruits and particularly strawberries. Such tales are not often heard in Eng land English farmers. as a rule, take more delight in telling tales of woe then of wellbeing.
 Giving details of this agricultural prosperity, the report says: "In one case a man cut up field of 15 acres in acre plots and offered it to the laborers of the parish. He had arranged the payments to extend over ten years. but nine of the Is purchasers paid for it on the spot Within four years all the rest paid up. One of them during the last three years has sold 21,000 worth of strawberries from his one acre plot.
 Tt is not to strawberries alone that such men turn their attention. They make good profits out of plums. apples. cherries, gooseberries and entrants.
 "'At the time of the great agri- cultural depression Gladstone sug- gested that farmers should grow fruit instead of corn. His suggeS+ ton was received with scorn and derision by the old fashioned farm CTS. One man. however, thought the experiment worth trying. He has retired with large fortune. Hun dfeds of others are now following in his footsteps"

LONDON OPEN TO

Britain in Dire Peril from Attacks by Air-Facts
 Given to Prove 1t.

LONDON, July 1S.-Britain is de- clared again to be in dire peril. She is described as in dangerous state of unpreparedness against air at rack Experts contend that London cOdid be laid in ruins from the air within A hours. Many facts and figures are given by various news papers to prove it.
 Dritons, and Londoners especially, ale told they should be so badly scared they wouldn't sleep soundly in their beds again until something was done to set matters right. But the stolid Britisher refuses to be scared for anybody or anything He rejoiceS that it has temporarily stopped raining and that the last two days of the Ascot racing were glor. iously fine
 But there may be serious trouble b. ewing for the government over the soate of the country's air defenses Major General tSeely started the trou bIe-as trouble is often started here by asking question in Parliament as to how the country was fixed foI airplanes in case of war.
 The reply of Captain Guest. the Air Minister, was not exactly calcu lated to make nervous people fee comfortable He said that while the country in 1920 had 1S6 civil air planes fit for war, it now had only |S3 and these were of 28 different types, This year there are only IS machines actually flying in regular service.
