Cub proved to the home folkg that he has lost none of his old time cun ning, and when we are tcld that he went two hours and 15 minutes up in Canada- with this self same Hans, without either one of them getti?g a fall, we are inclined to the belief that Pappas must have been ofT color, for he experienced no difficulty in brush ing the Washington man out" of his path laet night. The match was fairly fast all the way through. Hans ig a big burly boy who will outweigh the Greek by at least 20 pounds. Gus pinned his opponent's shoulders to the mat for the first fall with a scissors on the body, aad negotiated the sec end by reason of a leg and arm lock. The big brunette expects to be with us the coming winter, and some good cold evening entertainments are antici pated. PKKL1HS O. K.

Bylund won in two straight falls, the first in 15 minutes with a scissors on the bead and he fecend in fcur minutes with a body hold. Young Freeman of Moline showed his superiority over George Bradil, also cf Moline, getting both falls in 10' minutes. The first came after a nine minute struggle, being negotiated with a scissors on the body. The sec end was a cinch, the old hammerlock doing the work in just exactly a min ute and a ha.f.

The annual rcs.it'.s cf tho Missis sippi Vaiiry Power Uoit association j will not be staged at Rock Island this year, at lcrrt th.it is ths tlo;'e which is boing circulated a: prr3ei. Lack of interest on the part cf ihc busine:s men. is given as Hie main reason. The rsgatti was to have been held at Keokuk this sur.m:er, but ons to the fart that the Kok;:k promoters obtained poVpcnrnie after postpone ment, and finally swisched the dates from the first part of July to the latter psrt cf August, the pewer boat asso ciation decided to stop the tomfoolery and gi;e thH event to some other city. Burlington, which city nut on the regatta once before, was desirous of landing it but decided to etep asid in Rock Island s favor. C. L. Beards ley cf the lecal boa club was so in formed, the letter stating t'.iat all that Etcod brtwc?n Rod; Inland and the regatta was f-omo Stj.fVjQ. II (Al.l.Kt) OKI". Sta'-emer.ta to thi8 effect were mail ed to ail Rock Island business men, and a meeting csiled for yesterday afternoon ft tne Rock Island cub. The circulars mailed to local mer-. chants pointed out the advantage to be derived by landing the regatta, of the many visitors here4 the money which would be left in the town, etc. The business men were asked to meet at the club to discuss the project, make plans for ra'islr.i, the necessary money, secure a manager to taka charge of the regatta, and start the ball rolling. In response to these invitations large and enthusiastic gathering ol four business men was found at the club at 4 o'c'.ock. In view of the fact that no apparent interest was shown in the matter by local business men, and considering the fact that Daven port's having had the regatta last year would probably effect the at tendance here, it was decided to aban don the prcjeet, br.t to make an effort to land it for Rock Island next year.

Ex-Islander Supplants Morris j Rath at Second Base Makes Fine Showing. Joe "Heinle" Berger has finally landed a regular berth with the White Sox. After warming the bench since the opening of the season, because Manager Jimmie Callahan could not see why "Buck" Weaver thould be de posed by the Pacific coast phenom, good fortune came to the ex-Islandr yesterday from i n entirely unexpected sourre. Morris Rath, the sterling second eaokcr, was given the hook, because of a batting slump, and Joe was shov ed in to fill 'his shoes. Berger showed class all the way, and although he did not exec ute heavily with the hiikory, stole third haso and romped home with the winning run. when Sweeney threw the ball away into right gar den. Chicago sporting scribes are unanimous in their praise of Joe's work, and predict for hira a perma nent lease en the keystone sack. James Ciarkson of the Examiner has the following to say: "Manager Ca.iahan shook up his lineup before the contest started. He decided that the bench was a better place for Morris Rath than it was for Joe Berger and sant the recruit to the second station. The box score may ehow that Joe did little execution with the stick, but if you will Btudy it carefully you will see that he se cured a pair of passes; also that he scored a couple of runs, and that he stole a base. And it was this latter which put what proved the winning run across (he pan. For Joe stole third and so surprised was Ed Swee ney that he threw the ball into left field and Berger hiked the rerstinder of the distance to the pan. Ber ger gave an excellent reason why he should remain in the lineup when he scored a run with but little assistance in the fifth. He walked as a starter and went to second while Lord was going out, second to first. Joe then displayed a lot of pep and stole third. Someone told Sweeney that the Sox were not in the habit of doing this, and it so surprised him that he shot the ball into left field and the substi tute kept right on going. He scored so easily that no throw was made to catch him." Again, in his Sox cotes, Clarksoa says: "Berger accepted every chance which came his way and his daring on the bases gave the Sox one run. The box score shows that to be the mar gin by which they won." Raycraft Ready for Wcrk. Dubuque, Iowa, May It.
