TUESDAY THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS AUGUST 26, 1919. NEV OF THE SPORT W ORLD ALL FOOTBALL re ARE URGED TO ATTEND SESSION TONIGHT J"zw Are Chewd When Tat Smith Announces He is Beady For Another Hard Campaign. All aspirants for positions on the Independents' football team this fall should be on hand at the first meeting of the year, scheduled for tonight at the Rock Island house. Manager Walter Flanigan will ex plain the situation and unload a few of his ideas for duplicating the performances of past years. It is important lor all to be there. The fans about town were cheer ed today when Fat Smith said lie W3s ready for another strenuous campaign. The big boy has never looked in better trim than he does at this time, and it means the solv ing of a problem in the line. He may not possess college or univer sity experience in the grid same, but one thing is certain, he can piay the independent game as it is Cone in these paru. There are a lot of strong-hearted college piay ers who have wilu-d under the bat m:rg of the terrific struggled that characterizes the sport here. Wil'iams, who was seen :.n action in Rock Island last year, as .n quarter-back -n Fred Chicken's itVation team from St. Paul, is anx ious to covort in a green jersey tnis fall, anri it is very probable that Flanigau win tell hiin to roito on. Williams is a fast, heady play tr with plenty ol football knowl elge, and should form an impr: ant cog in Uie i.ackfield. Taddy Quim can be relied upon to be ready to answer the scrim mage call. Light, but full of grit; that's Paddy. ( thers than those mentiontd lat night whom Walter is in touch with include Wyland, Fosdick, Guyer and Harty. The latter is tied dowu to an important position in Des Moines and it may be that he will be unable to give the time needed to play football. Fosdick and Wy land are good prospects. Ted Guy er's attitude has not been learned. Hope, is held out that Bodie An drews, former Notre Dame star, now a lieutenant in the navy and stationed down in the Hawaiian waters, will return with his dis charge, or on furlough, in time to take part in some of the season's important battles. CUBS GET DAY OP BEST ACCOUNT OF EXCESS OF RAIN Boston, Mas., Aug. 26. Not un til after 1 o'clock did the aerial plumbers who went on strike re turn to work, having obtained 100 per cent i ncrease in wages and two and a half prices for over time. That was too late to save the game scheduled between Cubs and Braves, so a double header will be staged today. There would be no complaint from either club if the cloud leakage.- were resumed today in time to nrevent both scraos. President Grant of the Braves would not be ! peeved if he had to transfer the ! two dates to Chicago, ana tne 1 uis would be glad to escape the .'.sic would be glad to escape the frantic and the necessity of catching au early train to keep an exhibition dale in Toronto tomorrow. There was nothing phoney about yesterday's postponement. The. 24 hour deluge flooded a few of the minor cities in this section and the market men are circulating prop aganda that many codfish in the 'bay were drowned to alibi an in crease in the oort of filet of ole. How the Cubs escaped tha gen eral liquidation in New Haven Sun day is a mystery, but the return of the athletes brought an alibi for their defeat by the Eastern leaguers. Their game did not Hart until after 4 p. m. and the Cubs had to catch a 5:50 train back, the ball park being a half hour drive by automobile from the railroad. Each Cub went to bat with orders to hit the first ball if possible and .they played the game in an hour so as not to miss the rattler and have to spend part of tho night on the road.

PEORIA PUG TO BOX REPINE IN SEHNQUP lira uaraurr ui wurj bcdos it oru j , i y ( r c .3 ir..j He Won't Be Here and Frank Beatty Is Secured. Frank Beatty, Peoria fighter, will appear in the semi-windup of the Moline Fans' association boxing program at the plow city baseball park Labor day afternoon, in place of Red Gardner of Gary, Ind. Gard ner sent word yesterday that he would not be on hand to tackle Kid Repine. Beatty is of the hard slugging type of fighter with only a mini mum amount of science. He has appeared in Rock Island rings twice before, both times against Eddie Summers of Muscatine. Each time the fans were given a treat and he is sure to provide a big hit on the coming card. Frankie Callahan, who is booked with Young Dennis in the windup, is a pug of many years' experience. He is only 24 years of age but has been fighting for the past eight years, most of his work being in the east, where he is a recognized topnot"her. One of his most no taule victories was against Joe Rivers, who took the count in two rounds. This was in 1915, at a time v. hen Rivers was at his best, and Ci.Hahan's victory created a sensa tion in New York. Young Dennis has been nursed along properly until he is now con sidered ready to meet the best in the game. He is a youngster that has made a great hit around Mil waukee, his home town. His most arrient admirers are Tom Andrews , of promoting tame and Billy Mitch- j ell. manager of Ritt hie and Pinky! Mitchell, his brothers of light-1 weight fame. ! BOSTON COPS FROM TIGERS, 5-4, RUTH GETTING HOLIER 23 Detroit, Mich., Aug. 26.

TJTV PROMT op -tHc aVoOSEV4 ' YANKS HALT SOX IN GHASE AFTER SEASON HONORS Gleason Men Accorded Worst of Two Close Flays and Decision Goes Against Them. Chicago, Aug. 26. After winning 10 straight, the pennant pace of the White Sox was halted yesterday at Comiskey park in the final game against the eastern clubs when the New York Yankees nosed them out; 6 to 5, in a tough and desperate bat tle. However, Detroit lost another to Boston, so Gleason's men still hold their lead of six games in the race. There were two critical places In the combat and if the Sox had been given the good end in either of the two they would be seven games in the lead today. Both plays west against them and they were nosed out by a run, and White Sox fans, who are growing more and more enthnsed each day, will have to wait a bit longer now for the final decision on the race. Big Bill James, who did so splen didly against Washington recently, was sent to the slab opposed by Herb Thormahlen, the sensational left hander of the New York team. James didn't appear to have the same brand of stuff he showed against the Senators, but he prob ably would have breezed through if a play in the fifth inning nadnt spilled the beans. Ping Bodie was first np in that frame and led off with a single, and Ruel followed the example. Thor mahlen came up and bounded one high in front of the plate and a bit toward third base. James ran in and had to wait for the ball to rome down, but grabbed it and soaked it to Gandil. Well, all the Chicago boys declared the ball beat Thormahlen to the bag, but I'mp Hildebrand saw it the other way and called the Yank pitcher safe. Score: Chicago R. H. PO. A. E. J.
