RIVALRY AT WHITE HEAT Betting to Be Heaviest in Yean Islanders Pooling Cash for a Big Wager. With Interest in the Olympic-Independents game at the boiling point, and the rivalry between the teams the most bitter in years, football "bugs" anticipate a regular old fashioned bat tle on Browning field next Sunday. Persistent rumors are afloat that Siler and But::er. two ex-llllnois university stars, will be In the Molines' line-up, and If this is true, Liitt's proteges will have their hands full from whis tle to whistle. Butzer Is in business with his father at Hillsdale, 111., and is within easy hailing distance. He is one of the greatest football players of modern time, and in 190!) was unanimously chosen all-western tackle. Siler. his teammate, is noted for his kirking prowess. His drop kicks bnat Chicago university and Wisconsin. He can send the pigskin over the bar from any angle and almost any distance. If Slier is in the game, there is a strong probability that the record of ' the Independents will be shattered. The local team has never been scored on since the time of organization. Soderstrom has been borrowed from the mini ranks and it Is hard to pre dict Just how many more ringers will be secured by MoIIne, but it Is cer tain that the Plow City aggregation will leave no stone unturned to drub the Islanders. Mitt has bf-en putting his men the close of the football eeason, to aid the team. As Hale is a heavyweight and fast, with football experience, Coach Grady was elated. But right here Captain Teter Jen sen of the life saving station was cast on the canvas. Captain Jensen told the coaches that Hale could not play, that he would not accept Hale's resignation, and that if Hale persisted in his determination the government would treat him as a deserter and cause his arrest. This threat by Captain . Jensen blocked Hale's plan of self-sacrifice. and a message was dispatched to President Wilson asking, that Hale be allowed to play football. If he can't play and remain a member of the crew Hale is willing to resign. Pres ident Wilson is asked to permit him either to quit his job without danger of imprisonment or to take a leave of absence during the football season.

Because of failure to bring his I grades up to standard, Roy Philbrook, star center of the Rock Island high school squad, will be out of it Satur day. Philbrook played one of the most sensational games in years against Macomb Normal last week, and the team will be badly crippled because of his absence. He was tak en out of the Macomb game in the last quarter with a dislocated shoul der, after putting up a game fight all the way. It was believed that the injury would incapaaitate him for play for perhaps two or three weeks, but these reports have been greatly through a hard grind every eight, aud , exaggerated.

Callahan's globe-trotting White Sox finally broke Into the win column, this happening yesterday by medium of their trim ming their traveling companions in an exhibition here. The Giants jumped It took both friendship and money to-make Packey McFarland become a welterweight. Billy Gibson furnished both. At least he furnished the friend ship which induced Packey to agree to trade punches with the . St. Paul phantom, Mike Gibbons, at 145 pounds ringside. Besides the friendship he whispered a little offer that sounded something like a $10,000 guaranty into one of Packey's perfectly good ears and Packey listened. Then Packey said: "Get the other Irishman into your ring, Billy. Name the date, and I will be there with gloves on." Last night Eddie Reddy, Gibbons' manager, wired Gibson from St. Paul that Mike would box Packey anj time and any place on Packey's terms. So it has come to pass that we are going to have a real welterweight championship fight trat will have just about as much class to it as did the memorable battle between those ster ling colored fighters, Joe Walcott and Joe Gang. There Is none in the game today who can stand before tho pub lic and say: "I can whip both Packey McFarland and Mike Gibbons at 145," because nobody will listen. It Is pretty well understood that they are the top- special to The Argus. Springfield, 111., Oct. 22. Unless $5,000 dollars can be raised within the next three weeks organized base ball in Springfield will be & thing of the past, and Springfield's Threel charter w ill be put in the market to the highest bidder. Alfred O. Teterson, secretary-treasurer of the local club, has called a meeting of the stockholders of the Springfield owners for Tuesday, Oct. 28. At that time officers will be elected and plans made for the retain ment or disposal of the local charter. In order to clear the lien on the ball park held by the C. H. & D. rail road and local contractors, and other debts now- outstanding against the club, $5,000 is needed. Although base ball enthusiasm is at a standstill at present, many of the directors of the Springfield team are of the opinion that sufficient interest may be awak ened in the project before it Is too lata for action. IS LAST STAND. Accordingly an effort is being made to raise this fund, and further sug gest lor s will be offered at next week's meeting for obtaining money to pay off the outstanding debts. Rock Island and South Bend, Ind., are both in the market for a Tri-Optlc charter, the former city having offered $5,000 for a franchise at the meeting of the league stockholders held in Chicago several weeks ago. At that meeting President Tearney backed down from hla original posi tion that the Springfield charter could not be sold, and admitted to J. K. Peyton, president of the local club, that he was in the wrong, and that the franchise could be disposed of as the stockholders saw fit. Danville, Decatur and Quincy, In ad. . dition to Springfield, have their char ters in the market, the former being offered $5,000 by Rock Island promot ers. The Speakers demanded a high er price and the matter is still hang ing fire. The other two charters, Decatur and Quincy would both ba sold if enough money was offered de clared Mr. Peterson. "It is doubtful if the Springfield franchise would bring more than. $3,000 in the open market," Mr. Peter son said today, "although I think that it is easily worth that much or more. We never could get $5,000 for it, though, which is the amount needed to cover the debts against the local club." He also declared that he would not be a candidate for reelection at the coming meeting of the stockholders, to his present position, secretary treasurer. It is understood that Mr. Peyton will again make the race for the presidency. away to an early lead and were well on the way toward a fourth straight ; notchers at that weight, win, but the American leaguers proved j Of course it will be a no-decl-the better snowbirds and won out, sion affair, but it will be the biggest 6 to 4, by persistent application of thing New York has seen in the box- their bats in the later rounds. ins The 2.000 fans w ho turned out to ley law.

Packey can outbox any one within ten pounds of his weight for ten rounds McFarland weighed 140 ringside for Brltton. He was drawn fine, too. He'll be 142 or a pound or two bigger for Gibbons. So Mike will have little edge along that line. In fact, Packey Is certain to have his full strength, whereas Mike may gtZ down too fine to feel his oats. We want to beat everybody else to this prediction that Packey will give a great account of himself.
