An hour Of scrimmage with the
Augustana college team yesterday
afternoon served to relieve the
Rock Island Independents Of some
Of the enthusiasm they had saved
up for Milwaukee last Sunday only
to be denied the chance OF getting
rid Of It.
Captain Jim Councilman kept his
men on the defensive most of the
session with the collegians, laying
particular stress upon defense
for forward passes. This form OF
attack is the recognized asset of
the Dayton Triangles, who are
scheduled to meet the Independ-
ents at Douglas park next Sunday.
and Captain Jim feels that time
spent in working out a defense for
an aerial drive will not have been
wasted.
fever were the Independents
more set on winning football
game. This is gathered from con-
versation with the players, who are
a unit in declaring that Dayton not
only must be beaten but will be
beaten. 1t is a sort of deadly con-
! fidence that realizes a hard obsta-
Gle ahead but which has not the
slightest intentions of letting it
stop progress.
OF course, Dayton will have
something to say about that The
Triangles are mad somewhat over
their recent tough reverses at the
hands OF Buffalo and the Chicago
Bears, and undoubtedly will put
their best foot forward against the
islanders. Dayton feels that vic
tory over Rock Island will put il
back in the standing where it feels
it rightfully belongs.
Jones Gets Dope.
i Jerry Jones, Rock Island guard
lwho remained over in Chicago E
lday while enroute from Milwaukee
last Sunday, heard enough about
the class of the Triangles from hi:
. friends to convince the Independ
ents of the task that is ahead O
them Jerry declares that from
what he was told he judges Dayton
to have about the biggest line il

,, est job will be for the local line tt

Vi With the line that Dayton has
i the only way the Independents car
hope to win is to beat the visitor

ton asking the Pacific Coast Foot

The resolution made special
reference to the proposed New

be played between Penn State, and
Q team to be selected BY the Pacific

BIZ JOHN B. FOSTER.

(COpyrignt, lyz2, Dy the Argus.
New York, N. Y, Nov. 9.-If you
want to see baseball slugger
paint for war and execute a scalp
dance around the winter stove,
mention the plan for creating zones
in the outfield for classified hits.
The National league owners also
have been reused to opposition to-
day. They declare they have
enough trouble with the umpires
as it is now.
If batters were compelled to
come down to,a zone basis, the
crop of homeruns would vanish
like horseradish at an oyster coun-
ter.
The plan provides that in every
field where there are short right
and left field foul lines. the two
base hit zones shall begin at the
foul line and that at certain dis
lance toward center field. a post
should be erected or a stripe paint
ed on the fence. A ball batted and
uncaught within that territory
would go for two-base hit. From
that point new zone would begin
for three-baggers or homeruns.
according to the shape and extent
of the playing field.
That would put an end to home
runs along the foul lines at many
major league fields. If the min
ors adopted the rule, their fences
would be striped with zone marks
until they resembled a zebra.
National league owners take the
stand that the whole plan is i'm
practical. At the Philadelphia Ma
tional league grounds they have
the highest right field fence in
captivity. If that fence were
zoned. the umpires would be in
hot water half the time trying to
judge which side of a painted line
hit was batted. If he stood at IA
wrong angle he would be. sure to
get into difficulty.

battered to defeat in 10 sessions.
Since the O'keefe engagement,
Wells has fought nine times, and of
the nine starts he has won eight on

Spectacular Battler.
Eastern sports scribes herald
Wells as the greatest weller ever
produced by England not excluding
the former champion, Ted Lewis.
Billy is said to be a spectacular
performer who fights every second
Of the time and who possess un-

Billy Wells, Englands Great

to Box Schlaifer in Davenport

Billy Wells, England's greatest
welterweight swatsmith, will fight
in Davenport on the night of Nov.
II. The king of Great Britain's
14S Founders yesterday signed
articles with the local club to meet
Morrie Schlaifer of Omaha in the
10-round windup. Wells fixed his
name to 4 contract after local Off
Gals Journeyed to Chicago to meet
Charlie Harvey of New York. man
ager of the Englishman, and offered
the biggest guarantee ever given
a boxer In the history of the fistic
sport in Davenport.
It was only after Joe Wagner,
Kenosha, Wis, promoter, who had
Wells tied to a contract for bout
on Nov. 20 consented to set his date
back to Nov. "a, that the represen-
tatives Of the legion secured Wells
for the local engagement. Wells,
who was scheduled to fight Shade
at Kenosha on Nov. 20. openly &C
cused the latter of running out of
the bout. Wagner is now seeking
a formidable opponent to face the
crack Briton welterweight.
Boost for Local Game.
The signing Of Wells is a big
boost for the game in this vicinity,
bringing as it does one of the
worlds greatest boxers to met an
opponent of Schlaifer's calibre.
Despite the fact that Harvey's
protege has never fought here, the
Englishman is well known to local
fistic followers. for since he whaled
Dennis O'Keefe in 10 terrific
rounds at Michigan City, Ind, last
September local fans have been
clamoring for a clash between
Schlaifer, who is a favorite here,
and the conqueror Of the clever
Chicagoan.
Wells is youngster of % years,
but claims to have fought 16S pro-
fessional battles. More than a year
ago he won the welterweight cham
pionship of England and then jour
neyed to Australia where he had
little difficulty in annexing the well
|terweight crown Of that land. After
