 Last nights celebration, the fourth since the close of the Nation al league campaign. found "Old Pete Alexander playing stellar role and demonstrating that he is qualified for other than slab duties.
 Beginning with the arrival of the Cardinals train late in the after noon. and ending with a pushing, cheering mob that left Sport slnan's park after a formal welcoming party, the veteran Nebraskan ap- prared 10 occupy the center of the stage. While Jack Crosse, city regis ter and head of the reception com mittee, was trying 10 round up truant members of the club who had slipped away unnoticcd when the train pulled in at Union station. Alexander became the hero of a worshipping throng at hotel where a number of the players were din- ing. He autographed baseballs, pat ted youngsters on the head and be- came a brilliant conversationalist
 Transferring his activities to Sportsman's park whom ten Of the players and Coach Williams had been rounded Up for the :>ariy, Alexander took his place as the first to be introduced to the crowd. He made his bow. spoke a few words into a microphone. as did the rest, and not content, showed his appre- ciatiOn of the throng's adoration by bestowing kisses on two girls crowd ing near the speakers platform.

DAVIS IS OUT 0F
 GAME FOR SEASON
Injury to Hand More Serious
 Than Thought at First

Regret was expressed throughout sporting circles in the city today when l, was learned that the injury to his hand, suffered by Silent John" Davis in the A'l-New Britain New York Yankee football game last week. will result in his being out 0, the game for the rest ot the season.
 It was in one of the early plays that John received his injury. Red" Grange was thrown for loss on his first play and on the same play, but away from Grange. Davis suffered a fracture of two fingers. The only hope New Britain will have is to have him in the game during the latter part Of the year. but at pres ent it looks very doubtful. This means that four men who played in the backfold in the game Sunday will not wear an All-New Britain uniform, the other three being re- leased.

(BY NEA SERV1CE)

Champaign, H., Oct. 19.-One ot the most important games Of thc carly Western Conference season is that between Illinois and Iowa which will take place here Oc.. 16
 The Illini and the HaBl1eyes al- ways produce bitterly fought battles Two years ago the Zuppke platoon virtually annihilatel the Hawks 3G-0 That was one Of the gamee in which the great Grange ran wild.
 Last year the Hawkeyes reversed he verdict, thrilling run by Nick Kutsch in the obbing moments Of play giving the Iowans the brush, 12-10. Grange, Britton and the rest of the Champaign boys couldn't hold the Hawkeyes back that after noon.
 This season another real struggle iS anticipated. though the Illini looked to be stronger than their old rivals at this early date. Each school has lost a cluster of stars. but Zuppke appears to have higher class of new material. Still you never can tell. The Hawks may spring a real upset.
 The contest will bring on another one of those master-versus- pupil affairs. Burt Ingwersen. Iowa coach, learned his football under Zuppke while at Illinois. 1ngwer- sen was one Of the best tackles ever produced in the Big Ten. He has instilled much Of his fighting spirit and aggressiveness into his charges.
 A defeat for either eleven means terrific setback in the chase for the Western Conference banner. Neither, therefore. can afford to lose. IL will be homecoming day al Champaign and a record throng is expected.

Sl50,000 SALARY TOO MUCH ID PAY
Ruppert Says He'll Not Give
 Babe That Amount for 1927

New York, Oct p LPI-Babe Ruth may or may not make a demand for $l5Q,0f0 year as his salary for cavorting about in right field for the New York Yankees in the fu- ture. But if he does he may con- sidor his request already denied.
 "He won't get it. Colonel Jacob Ruppert. one of the owners of the club declared last night when asked If the Bambino had asked for such a sum before attaching his George Herman" to a contract as had been rumored. "The Babe has said noth- ing 10 me about next years con- tract and it is preposterous for any one to say that he is demanding $15o.000," the colonel declared. q won't decide until February what sort Of a contract I'll offer him. That is the time to talk contracts, not now"
 Babe Ruth declared that he was not anxious to discuss terms with the Yankee management and ridi- culed reports that he had demanded such sum. Six months from now is the time for that" he said.
 The home run kings present agreement with the Tanks ended when he slid into second base in an unsuccessful attempt to steal that bag in the final game of the world series. IL called for a yearly salary of s52. 000, just sl,000 a week. and had run for three years. His new rumored demand would net him alsot s1.O00 a game for the 154 con- tests of the regular season.

BLACK PANTHER ID
 TACKLE BAD FOE
Wills Up Against Clever, Youth:
 iuI Opponent Tonight

New York. Oct. F lP' - Harry Wills. huge negro stevedore. to- night dared the fate that has over taken headlinnrs in flstiana this season when he climbs into the ring at Ebbets field 10 defend his ranking as foremost challenger for the heavyweight title against youthful Jack Sharkey of Boston.
 The bout, which is scheduled for 15 rounds to a decision. will begin at Q ?. m, eastern standard time.
 Almost a year has passed since the Blank Panther. now g. years old, fought his last match against Floyd Johnson. of Des Moines, and battered the westerner to help less figure in a single round. Dur ing this same period Sharkey has surged 10 the front rank with dect- sons over George Godfrey, giant negro whom Wills failed to meet; Eddie Huffman. sailor scrapper of California. King Solomon Of Pan ana, and Jim Maloney, Boston slugger.
 During the months that Sharkey spent in the ring improving his speed and clever defense while de- veloping a right hand smash that is feared throughout the division. Wills devoted his efforts to gaining title match with Dempsey. The drive brought him recognition by the New York boxing commission as leading contender for the crown. But the years idleness has influ- cnced the betting fraternity, chastened by the showing of Jack Dempsey after his long period of inactivity. odds on the negro 10 win have fallen as low as 10 5.
 The latest edition of the Boston strong boy has youth only in his favor in measuring physical quail fications with the husky negro. Wills has an advantage in height weight and reach, and in the club ping right fist of the stevedore, that hammered Louis Firpo to a 12-round defeat in 1924. Is seen the greatest menace to the hopes Of the confident New England cham pion.
 A crowd of about 10000 Is ex- pected for the holiday bill. The boxers weigh in at the offices of the boxing commission at ? p. m. although the matter is a mere for naity, Both men look to be in su- perb physical condition.
 Sharkey, who holds a 1o-year age advantage over the negro. was the picture of confidence as he fin ished his light workout yesterday. "Tunncy refused to meet me earlier in the year" he said. "and it was just as well for him that he didn't. I'd likely be champion of the world today. I'm going to knock Wills out and then Tunney will have 10 meet me-"
 Wills is certain that tonights skirmish will settle once and for all his position among the heavy weights. "I'll prove to the world !" he declared. that I am the man who should be champion. I'll show them the speed and hitting power that was not displayed at Philadelphia. I'll prove that I am the man Dempsey should have fought and that l would have won by knockout. I'll stop Sharkey quickly"
 In the preliminary bouts, George Courtney, cowboy of inc west. will oppose Jimmy Darrsh, California middleweight. in ten round bout. Jack Townsend of New York mixes with Jake Warren Of Chicago in a. six round heavyweight clash and Black Bill, Cuban nyweight, is carded to so six rounds with Bob by Atherton of Indianapolis.
