The Davenport legion today an
nounced that negotiations for a
bout between Eddie Anderson of
Moline and Pal Moore of Chicago
have concluded successfully, and
that the bantams will feature the
next show of the legion, in the
Davenport Coliseum. The date has
not been definitely decided but it is
said will be some time during the
week of April It,
The bout has been hanging fire
for the last couple of weeks, and
it was not until yesterday after
noon that Moore's manager, Harry
Hockstadter, sports writer for the
Chicago Post, finally assented to
terms.
Tri-city fight fans have been anx-
iously awaiting news of a clash be-
tween these two strong representa-
tives of the bantam division. Moore
has been termed the "uncrowned
champion" and it will be the am
bition of Anderson to lift the lau-
rels from the Chicago boys head.
Eddie will not go into hard train
ing until next week. Right now he
is in excellent trim, thanks to the
benefits he acquires from conduct
ing school of boxing daily in Nc
line. Rather than take chances of
being overturned, Eddie will defer
his road work until next week.

BUFF SIGNS To

AGAINST LYNCH
III He Gets Past Former King, He
May Meet Pal Moore Once
Again.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, April with Johnny
Buff emerging from out of the mist
that hides missing champs he has
signed to meet Joe Lynch in Madl-
son Square Garden on the night of
May 5-comes word that if the
bantam king gets by the pride OF
New York's lower west side he will
take on Pal Moore in the Metropo-
lis. Maybe he will but there are a
number of wise ones who don't be-
lieve it. Buff has tasted Pal
Moore's game and it didn't suit his
palate at all. It happened in Mil
waukee last year. And Bluffs
memory is good.
Moore is a queer chap. Set him
in the class with Harry Greb and
Johnny Dundee and you will make
no mistake The three of them are
the worst possible contenders that
champions could meet because they
have the ability to give the class
kings boxing lessons in the ring.
And no king likes to be shown up
in that way.
Pal Moore, who hailed originally
from Memphis, Tenn, hrSt attract
ed attention when he slapped and
cuffed Kid Williams, then cham
pion of the bantamweight class, in
a no decision bout. Later Pete
Herman became champion and Pal
mauled him with equal grace and
ease in a decisionless battle. After
Lynch had taken the title from Pete
Herman he iournnved down m
Louisville, where Pal whaled him
just as thoroughly as he had lam
basted the two previous title hold
ers. Apparently the word wasn't
passed to Buff, for after Buff took
the title from Herman, who had
won it back from Lynch, he went
out to Milwaukee and was smoth-
cred by Moore's boxing gloves for
10 rounds. Buff says himself he
thought it was raining gloves.

that the use of the wooden and

helpful to his short cushion work
and masse shots.

NUMBER STARS
BEGIN CAREERS
IN OLD CENTRAL
Mississippi Valley League Aims TO
Keep Up Record Set by
Predecessor.
BY J. L. HUGHES.


A writer in the Waterloo Times
Journal calls attention to the fact
that the old Central association,
some members of which now form
the Mississippi Valley organization.
established a record for turning out
major league ball players that any
league in the country of mucn
higher classification would be glad
to boast of.
The Central association was a
class d circuit. The new Missis-
sippi Valley league is a class d or
gaalzat;ct. I IS claimed fer the cd
Central that probably no other
class ID league in the country ever
has developed more outstanding
major league players. Many of
these players are still in the big
time company, and not a few OF
them are still among the real top
notchers of the game.
The Mississippi Valley league is
entering the field with the avowed
intention of developing the young
sters who otherwise might remain
on the sandlots. The new circuit
aims to better the mark set by its
predecessor, and this will mean a
high class article of baseball. Those
who doubt the ability of a class d
league, properly managed, to I'M
cover and give to the baseball
world its heroes, need only to con-
slider that:

BY WALTER Nj. CAMP.

NCOpyTlSHI, 1Szz, ny Inc AISuS-J
Pete Hegelman, the old-time
walker, is accredited with the
statement that Bob McAIlister, the
flying COP" will never make
worlds champion Splinter because
he is too nervous and loses his
head on the mark. OF course, if
after plenty of experience a sprint
er is unable to contain himself
when the critical hour comes and
is so penalized he can hardly ex-
pect in the final test against the
pick of the beats to make up for it.
But our winning type of Splinter
is no old steady plugger after all,
but high strung character.
This at once raises the question
whether the very quality described
as high strung" or nervous" is
not one that characteriZes the ma
jority of successful sprinters. and
the more one looks back over the

New York, April 3-There is not
a reason in the world why golf
should not take its place high in
the intercollegiate sports in the
west. When it is given the full
need of credit to which it is en-
titled and perhaps even before
then, the west will begin to turn
out golfers just as rapidly as it
turns out ball players.
When it came to giving the coun-
try ball players it was a fact in
days gone by that no state in the
United States did much better than
Massachusetts in handing down
young men who could play the
game of baseball as it should be
played.
Not all of them tried to get into
the major leagues by any means.
They did not play baseball with any
notion of becoming major league
players but you could tell a New
England player, if you saw him
play in California, and when a team
of New England players got out on
the diamond almont invariably it
knew enough about the finer points
of baseball to overcome the hard
hitting and somewhat cruder west
erners.
1t isn't that way in baseball now
The New England young men still
play good baseball, but for the
most part they go in for so many
things that they don't permit base
ball to take up all of their time.
East Has Advantage.
In golf they are especially good
for the east had the advantage over
the west in golf by several years.
This does not particularly refer to
golf stars as they are likely to
come into existence wherever golf
