DONAHUE GETS
BACK TO RING
OF FIRST BOUT
Euuipment of Late Babe Meanor is
Purchased by Anderson Ath-
letic Club.
BY J. L. HTGHES.

Johnny Donahue should feel very
in Turner hall, Moline, Friday
night to battle Tom Carney OF Peo-
ria. for it so happens that the ring
! will be the same one in which he
embarked upon his fistic career
several years ago.
Jimmy Anderson, matchmaker
for the Anderson Athletic club,
which is sponsoring the show, re-
Gently purchased the ring owned
by the late Babe Meanor, every
thing from ropes to horses. The
ring was one of the best ever used
in the tri-cities and is still in hrst-
class condition 1t was Babe who
brought Johnny out, and, of course.
Johnny blinked out at the crowd
for the first time inside Babes
ring.
Considerable sentiment attaches
to this ring. 1t has witnessed the
coming and going of many leather
pushers, not a few of whom took
the count within it. Among those
who have crawled through its
hempen border are Sam Langford,
famous negro battler; Johnny
Noye, Cal Delaney. the late Bob
York, Stockyards Tommy Murphy,
Johnny Ertle, and many others of
more or less reputation in the pug
ilistic world.
Fridays bouts will be refereed
by Charles Myer, popular Moline
sportsman and fraternal man. He
has a reputation for square dealing
and principals in the event are sat
isfied with his selection.
Seats for the event are selling at
rapid rate, according to reports.
Matchmaker Anderson is of the be-
lief that the hall will be comforta-
bly, filled when the first bell sounds.
On the whole. fandom seems to be
anticipating the event with some
thing akin to eagerness. Johnny
Donahue has always been popular
with the bugs and many there are
who would welcome a victory for
him. He will face tough foe in
Carney, no question about it.
Fritz Anderson, who fights Bum
Sells in the semi windup, is also a
well-liked individual and it should
prove an interesting struggle Both
are hard hitters and durable catch
ers.

RAISES FUNDS
Fans of City Are Canvassed for S5,-
600 for Needs of Baseball
Club.

Marshalltown, March 29.-The
canvass to raise $4,000 for the sup
port of the Marshalltown Baseball
association was started Tuesday.
The work will be done on the theory
/ that those interested in baseball
and in the business it brings to the
city will know what they want to
give toward the support of the as
ISOLATION, and little time will be
lost in arguments or persuasion.
Some work has already been done
and part of the fund secured. This
work has been done by individuals,
however, and has not been exten-
sive.
The solicitors hope to make COL
lections as they go, and to have
the entire amount in cash when the
solicitation is completed. In max
ing pledges the ground has to be
gone over to make collections and
takes the time both of the solicitors
and the giver.
Rapid work is necessary because
those making the canvass are Civ
ing their time and are compelled to
finish the task as soon as possible.
Park In Good Shape.
The infield at the park has been
enclosed and the diamond has been
put in good condition. 1t will be
in excellent shap for the Dunn day
game on April 6, when the Cleve-
land regulars and the Yannigans
play an exhibition game Arrange
ments are being made to care for
record crowd. The bleachers will
be completed, and special arrange
ments are made to care for auto
lists.

IN ANDERSON'S
BOXING SCHOOL.

Any afternoon that you want to
see some real leather pushing, step
! over to Turner hall gym, Moline
where Eddie Anderson, Moline's
bantam pride, is conducting his
school of boxing instruction. A
dozen or more boxers and others
who hope to be future Jack Demp-
seys and Benny Leonards are work
ing out every day, in Eddie's glove
emporium. Fans are showing their
| interest in Anderson's institution by
crowding into the gym to see these
fellows wallop each other.
Yesterday afternoon they were
treated to 20 rounds OF lively box
ing. The participants ranged all
the way from II to 25 years of age
and some were advanced in the
fistic art while. others scarcely
know what the padded mitts are for.
One of Eddie's younger brothers,
who is only a dozen years old, but
informs the pugilistic star of his
family that his reign in the spot
light will be mighty short, put on
the mittens with q lad his own size
and age. These little lads furnished
some real excitement, scoring three
knockdowns during a four-round
session of minutes each.
Morris Waeyaert and Warren
Morris, well known in local mitt
circles, put on rafting good four
round sette that had the fans on
their toes. They slugged as if life
and death depended upon their
showing and a more bitter contest
was never staged in a professional
show. Eddie stepped 10 rounds.

box one or two sessions with him.
They all clamor for his services and
the little fellow is the busiest man
in town every afternoon. Johnny
Donahue is doing his conditioning
for Carney at Anderson's gym and
those who doubt Johnny's condi-t
ton need only step over to the gym
and watch him go through his
Donahue's wind is as good
as at any time in his career and the
Moline boy is cocksure of winning.
He has a good chance.
Doors to the gym open at $50

full benefit. a small fee is charg-

EE0REfA

Ty Cobb is trying a new stunt
this spring in training his play
ers. Instead of quartering them
in hotel at Augusta, the players
are living in two colonial man
sions that Cobb rented for the
training season.
Here the players have their
meals prepared by crack south
ern cooks. Only home cooking
is served and the squad is seat
ed at two tables. The home at
mosphere is strictly observed.
A peculiar feature of this ar
rangemenr is that the PLAYERS
live in South Carolina and work
out in Georgia.
Augusta is on the border. and
the state line is through the Sa-
vannah river.
The two mansions where the
players live are just across the
river and in South Carolina.

Some there are who will deny it.
A majority, small doubt, will af-
firm that Tilden has proved his SUI

The JohnStonians assert that Little
Bill was i'll most of last summer

Partlsans of the champion point to
the fact that he was grieYously
over-tennissed, chiefly as a result
of his European migration and his
journey to Australia.
Johnston said last September that
he was through with national tour

demanded proportionate attention
