T. AT3FK 85I3C tows crrr APRIL 19,1922 A GUY CALLED OUT AT THIRD. AND THEN SAFE. WAS OUT AT FIRST Two tennis fans went out to play Their flijst set of the season They played, but not for very long Before their hands were freeiin'. FIDLER TO MEET JOE KNIPP They itin a race around the blopk To see who'd last the longest.

Before the end they had a scrap And found who wag the strongest. Local Scrapper Takes on Tough Opponent in Semi- On May 1st ravs Fidler is out after more to conquer, and that's the 1 truth, for lie ihas now been matched to meet Joe Knipp, the Waterloo scrapper, at Cedar Rapids on May 1st, in the semi-windup of a big show theie Knipp "is a good hoy and has made a fine record and Dare will have a real test when he takes on the Blackbawl- county battler. However, Fidler, after his decisive defeat of McCarthy here recently, Is counted on by his friends to take the tilt. Coming on May day, it is believed that Knipp will have May baskets in the form of good hard coming bis way in great number and that he may imagine himself "queen of the May" and hear the "birdies before the six rounds are over. The Knipp battle should prove a good prepar- for Fidler before he takes on the state champion, Roscoe Hall, at Des Moines, later.

He's Tennis Star Despite War Injury IKS FIDLER 1 1 I I IUL.I I Offers 10 Per Cent of Receipts, of Next Boxing Some Local Organization Promoter Dave Fidler today declared that he would give ten per cent ol the receipts of his next boxing show, which comes on May 4th, stt the Englert theatre, to some worthy organization of the University City "I will give this amount to the Boy Scouts, Social Service league, Improvement league, Red Cross, or any other organization," said Mr. Fidler. "And all that the organization has to do to get this money is to hustle and help to make the show a success. The more tickets that are sold to the show, of course, the bigger will be the share of the organization." Show to Be Good One Promoter Fidler plans to make the coming show the best jet and as the headliner attraction, Phil Longo, of Des Moines, just about the sweetest little boxer in the state, will take on Brevert of Mason City, a battler, who has won a decision twice over Longo. The Mason City lad is a real boxer and in-tlre two previous bouts won the decision on points.

Longo is out for blood this time, and 'hopes to the Mason City scrapper just as he did Johnny Showers of Davenport here in the last bout Iowa alumni who plan to attend the Drake relays at Des Moines April 28-29 may get seats reserved with the Iowa crowd if they specify in writing for reservations that they want to be included in the Iowa section, according to a letter received by Prof. F. C. Ensign, secietary of the University of Iowa association, from Drake authorities. A block of more than 100 seats has been placed on sale at Iowa City and a larger number in the same section is on sale at Des Moines.

Alumni writing to Hobert Li. Finch, may have their seats reserved with this group. Reservations should be made at once, as the blocks will be held open only for a limited time before seats not taken are thrown into thg, general sale. Iowa's expectation of making a strong showing at the Drake meet this year is attracting scores of alumni to Des Moines for the event. REPEAL OF PRIMARY LAW ASKED DIXON, 111, April 19--The Lee county republican central commutes adopted a resolution urging the gencial assembly to ropeal the existing primary law, it to be a "failure and an unjustified burden on the tax- pnj-ers the tariflxiatfs." Mishu, Who i Represent Rou- manla In Davis Cup Competition, Has Been Playing Only Six Years, But Has Great Record BY BOB A NEW YORK, April 19--Frobab- 17 the most interesting figure in the ranks of the challenging Davis Cup players is that of Nicholas Mishu, one of the stars of the Roumama team.

Mishu has risen to Davis Cup form in only six years of play, and that despite the handicap of a partially disabled left arm, a. casualty of war which materially affects his balance when playing. He is also handicapped by lack of sufficient opportunity for play, due to his duties at the Rouman- ian legation in London, where he is stationed. Yet his natural ability is so great that in the recent match at St. Cloud he defeated on successive days, in straight sets, Gobert, former champion of France, and Alonso, the former champion of Spain.

Mishu's favorite game is the-cut and chop. which he is a master. He holds the racket like a poker, several inches from the end, and chops the ball with little "or no follow through. His back-hand stroke is practically a slice, while he has great number of underhand cuts that he uses against" a hard hit ball. Despite his disability, he on what is usually considered the most dangerous position on HOPES TO STAR IN DAVIS CUP MATCHES two feet inside the service- line--from where lie uses his peculiar shots to great advantage.

In serving he uses an underhand back cut that is particularly aggravating to his opponent, as it may bounce anywhere, and is very deceptive and hard to return. Although this is the first time that Roumania represented in the Davis Cup matches Mishu has hopes that she will have the honor of meeting the American defenders in "the final round. For the First Time In a Contest Between Two Big League Clubs a Player is Touched Out While on the Bench BY BILLY EVANS Anything can happen in Ever hear of a player being tagged out while sitting on tfce btnch? For years the fans have been discussing such a possibility. Now it has actually happened. The freak play came up prior- to the opening of the 1922 season in a game at Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn, between the Dodgers and the Yankees.

The two teams; after having toured the south in a series of ex- games, were topping off the event with a couple of games at Brooklyn. Here was the situation. With Myers on first and Wheat on third the two Brooklyn players esSayed a double steal. Devormer, catching for New York, shot the bail to Scott, who returned it to the plate. It was a line candidates this year and it looks very much as If She would be able -10 fill the holes left by Slater and Belding very well, besides perhaps changing the complexion a little of the 1921 line' Imup otherwise.

Coe is to come here Monday, and Iowa will Journey abroad to take on Illinois and Purdue on Thursday and Friday. There is a possibility, however, that the Coe game may be moved up to the coming Saturday, if the Coeites are willing and that would make the next week's schedule a little easier.

Cornell has given out word to state papers that Iowa is to play at Mi. Vernon tomorrow, but Coach Ashmore said today that Iowa would not meet Cornell this week, and thus the Mt. Vernon story was untrue. The squad went thru a good workout last evening and seconds and regulars mixed in a battle royal on Iowa field. A I A A W.

Tutors Youngsters The spring practice, staged primarily fig get out new candidates and get them familiar with plays and workines of the Iowa machine, was a success In its first illustration. Many youngsters were tried out by Coach and forward parsing was the main feature of the drill.

Iowa mentor and Assistant Coach Bill Kelly put the men thru a light workout and the All-Western Football Coach Jones was very well satisfied with the showing. A number of the veterans were not out last evening, and many of the 1921 freshman stars were also among those absent, some not being back from their vacation yet, but a much bigger squad is certain for the next practice, vhich comes tomorrow evening. The first spring drill brot out a number ot the dyed-in-the-wool football fans and they were again in their element, the end of the 1921 football season having left them In a status not unlike to ducks out of water. Some Likely Of especial interest last evening was the showing of Parkins, the Waterloo star, who is going to make a fight for Aubrey Devine's vacant post.

He passes in stellar style and handles himself very well. Blake is also a good passing quarter. Holm, another star, who is Sut after Devine's place, was not out last evening. Another new styr is Kelly, a-big half back, who has seen service at Washington state. Thorn also looks good.
