The Davenport high school basket
ball team kept up its record of an un
broken string of victories Saturday
night, by easily defeating the Moline
high team with a one sided count of
50 to 14. The game was played on the
Moline high school gymnasium floor
and attended by a large crowd of en
thusiastic students from both schools.
From beginning to end the Moline
aggregation was outclassed. Every
man on the Davenport team outplayed
his opponent. The team work of Dav

he was closely followed by Kelly and
Rhodes who threw six apiece. Fabric
ous. Kaufman and Thompson made
one each. Shallberg made two field
baskets for . Moline, while Hollowe
threw the other.
The game began with Moline throw
ing a 'foul basket. Davenport started
soon, however, and were never headed.
The Davenporters missed several easy
shots in this half. Moline did not
have much chance to put there hands
on the ball. The score at the end of
the half was 19 to 4.
The second half was more interest
ing as the Davenporters seemed to
wake up and made almost double the
points that fhey made in the first
half. Rhodes and Kaufman were
playing in this period and they made
the game livelier. Moline also braced
up a bit and made a few more scores.
The plying in this half was faster
than in the preceding half, and the
basket throwing of some of the Dav
enporters was extraordinary. The
longest basket of the game was
made by Kelly. The shot was from
way past the center of the floor and
was a fine one. Ten minutes before
tl.e game ended the Red and Blue
men shifted the line-up, which seemed
to daze the Moliners. Basket after
basket was made by the Davenporters
immediately after this change was
made. Many of the Moline fans, see
ing their team was decisively wallop
ed, left before the end of the half. .
The line-ups of the two teams was
as follows:
Davenport Rhodes, Fabricious and
Kelly, forwards; Allen and Kaufman,
center; Thompson and. King, guards.
Moline Shallberg and Hollowe, for
wards; Kiel, center; Warren and Will

Rock Island business men have de

an immediate effort will be made to se
cure the berth which Moline was after.
Influential men of the city expect to
get busy on the propositi n at any

been a good baseball town and the
city is very anxious to get in.o the

The following dispatch sent out to
day from B'lrji.iKtcn, Towa, will prone
of considerable interest to local base
ball fans:
Burlington, Iowa, Fsb. 0. 1 the di
rectors of the Central association have
held any doubts about the ability to
fill the vacancies in this league made
by the resignations ot Monmouth and
Kewanee, they have all vanished away.
They are in the position of one now
having an embarrassment ot riches.
Several good towns are knocking, at
the Central association door and . are
willing to meet all requirements.
These cities are Rock Island, Du
buque, Moline, Aurora, Oskaloosa,
Marshalltown and Clinton, Iowa. Any
one of these cities would be a decided
improvement on what they have had.
But at present the Central association :
appears to be tied up with Moline. J
Some kind of an option was given to
that city. It appears, which allowed,'
them time to arrange to get away from ''
the influence of the Three-I league. ;
Meanwhile Marshalltown, Iowa, has
come forward with no strings of any
kind tied to it, and offering to pay all
moneys required. It is a good sized
city and has an abundance of enthus
iasm, judging from the meetings that
have been- held there by the fans re
garding getting into the Central asso
ciation circuit. Marshalltown wa;a
charter member of the old Iowa league,
out of which the Central association
was created. if
It is expected that the matter it
membership will soon be settled aad
then one of the best seasons of the
league will be assured. AH the man
agers have been very busy with the
lining up of their teams, and many
of them know about what their teams
will consist of now. A number of them
have already scheduled exhibitioa
games for the training season.
The old embargo against Central as
sociation teams playing exhibition
games with each other was abolished
at the annual meeting of the league, '
and most of the teams will book such
contests. 1
