PLOWS TRIUMPH

Moline had little difficulty in
smothering its neighboring city,
East Moline, by score of 80 to 10.
The East Moliners started out
strong and it was some little time
before the Swedes found them
selves and started reaping the har-
vest. Barritt for East Moline, made
the first goal and Moline's first
points were made by Heider on
free throws. East Moline made
many fouls, Mumma and Haddick
being ruled out by four personals.
The Pillow delegation was consider
ably heavier than the East Mo-
line squad.
A good passing game, which
Simpson and Heider, figured in prin-
cipally, was the feature of the con-
test One of the victors' strong
points was the ability of Heider, to
shoot free throws. OF the SO points
made, 10 were made in this man.
ner. Simpson and Toline' shared
honors alike with four, field goals
each. Toward the end of the con-
test number of second team men

FRIDAY NIGHT.


Rock Island stepped out in great
shape in the first game of last
nights program in the district bas-
ketball tournament and walked over
the Savanna boys by a score of SO
to 8. The Islanders were in fine
form after their hard-fought victory
over Geneseo, seeming no weaker
for their strenuous days work. The
floor work displayed by the Grim
son and Gold was one of the out
standing features of the contest.
The local boys seemed invincible,
with AlEine and Anderson at guards
and Shelter playing the floor and
repeatedly hitting the loop for
counters. Alvine. aside from his
great defensive work, figured in the
most of the teamwork and succeed
ing in caging four field goals. One
shot was made directly under the
basket after dribble covering
more than half the length of the
floor. Captain Shelter seemed to
have dead eye for the basket. Six
field goals were made by him, the
majority from long distances
Woodward and Knanishu both play
ed hard fighting games. Knanishu
came through with three field goals
and Woodward one. Edwards did
not start the game but was injected
in the lineup before many minutes
had passed. His floor work was
fair but he was unable to make
more than one basket Toward the
end of the contest all second team
men were put in with the exception
of Anderson. Hollingsworth was
the only second string man who
made a counter

Score, "a to %.

The Central Presbyterian quintet
sprung a surprise on the Rock Is
land Boosters last night in the Y.
M. c. A. gymnasium by winning.
"a to 20 from the claimants of the
city championship. The Boosters
were handicapped by the absence
of Parks, their star center. The
game was marked by numerous
fouls. Sixteen personals were call
ed on the Centrals, while the Boos-
tiers committed eight personals and
two technicals.
The first half ended II to 10 in
favor of the church team. In the
second half the Boosters lost the
services of their star forward, G.
White. His place was taken by
Iglehart, a yOungster.
Biehl, Schafer and Lamp starred
for the winners, lille the guarding
of Hal and Rinck was of high Or

JERSEY AT WAR
over PROPOSED
TITLE CONTEST
Public Opinion Likely to Oppose
Battle Between Dempsey
and Harry Wills.
BIZ FAIR PLAY.
DIX AIh L HAVs
Copyright, 1922, By The ArguS.)

tSOPyIfknl, 1SIG. ny l. Lag al 600s1
Newark, n. J., March At ap-
peared certain today that New Jer-
sey is shortly going to be the battle
ground of two holly warning armies.
The cause of warfare will be the
proposed Dempsey-Wills fight in
Richards big arena in Jersey City.
Governor Edwards came through
with a statement regarding his at
titude toward the bout as promptly
and decisively as Kid Norfolk went
to the floor of the Madison Square
ring from the effects Of a blow
which no one seemed to see. Ed
wards says he will permit the fight
to be held, as there Is no law
against it in New Jersey.
But Governor Edwards may find
that there is something as strong
as the law against the battle: name
ly, a powerful public opinion. Hud-
son county, Of which Jersey City is
the seat and metropolis, is the one
real fight center in the state. The
county is tightly in the grip of
politicians But elsewhere-outside
OF Newark and Patterson anyway
the character and habit of mind OF
Jerseymen Is against any such bout
Any attempt on the part of Gov
ernor Edwards or the Hudson
county political group to sanction
a Dempsey Wills fight on Jersey
soil is likely to open the eyes of
these men, and the promoters and
the country in general to the fact
that this projected battle between
a white and black man will not be
quietly received. While Hudson
county is politically tied up by poll
ticians of certain group, the state
legislature at Trenton is controlled
by those who represent rival po-
1iucal group and it was the opinion
today in many quarters that if it
were attempted to bring the Demp
sey-Wiils bout here boxing as a
legalized sport might be utterly
wiped out of the state.

REPORT APRIL
| AS MANAGER
Boss of New Islanders Expected to
Play First Base and Be Re-
Lief Catcher.

AS per expectations, previously
announced by The Argus, the sign
ed contract of Jimmie Councilman
was receiveds by the Rock Island
Fans association this morning. SO
that settles the question of the
managership of the 1922 Islanders.
The leader of the 1921 Rock Island
Independents can play either cat h
or first base on the baseball field
1t is understood he will pastime
around the initial cushion and act
as relief catcher, which should
solve the catching problem.
Councilman accompanied the con-
tract with a letter, stating he would
come to Rock Island about April /.
In the meantime he will busy him
self lining up fast semi-pro talent
around Chicago, to add to the i'm
posing list of youngsters already
assembled by the officers of the
association. First call for spring
practice is April Is.

took the places of the regulars and
kept the contest going in good
shape. Mahoney played a fast floor
game and Schmidt was strong on
defense. Schmidt, Greer, Mahoney,
Holmer and Hemphill each added
to the count with field basket
each.
Sarginson was the shining light
for East Moline. Six of East Mo
lines points were made by him on
field goal and four free throws
Two other field goals were made By
Barritt and Haddick The Moline
aggregation was entirely too fast
for the smaller town boys and be-
fore the contest was very old, Mo

% YOU WANT IN

Last year the people of Clayton
we're very enthusiastic indeed in
the mater of having established the
city delivery Of mail. Through their
hearty cooperation, the postoffice
department was prevailed upon to
grant this slight convenience.
Recent developments show that
there is lack Of interest on the
part of the people, and the service
will likely be discontinued unless
the number of patrons is materially
increased. There is only one way
it can be done, and that is to have
your mail come to your residence
or business address.
The postal department is spending
many dollars to give this service to
Clayton. They can not continue tc
do so unless everyone avails them
selves of the service.
Whatever is done must be done
now. The matter is solely up 10 you
DO you want it7 If so, report al
