(Special) The Dixon Indees captured the pennant of the Eastern Iowa league Sunday afternoon by defeating Lowden, 4-2, at Lowden. With Gibson allowing only seven hits the Dixon clan encountered little difficulty in winning the title. A three-run rally in the eighth by the winners sewed up the game. Lowden was unable to solve Gibson's southpaw slants until the eighth and ninth innings in which they scored one run each. In the other league contest Grand Mound walloped Clarence by a score of 26 to 11.

TO MEET ILLINOIS COPPERS FRIDAY Not the least bit discouraged over the 12 to 6 defeat suffered at the hands of the Muscatine police department baseball team at Muscatine Sunday afternoon, members of the Davenport police department nine were today strengthening the weak spots in preparation for the game with the team from Rock Island, Moline and East Moline to be played next Friday night at Douglas park in Rock Island. A crowd of approximately 2,000 persons witnessed the seven-inning tilt at Muscatine. The Davenport team trailed throughout the game.

Muscatine started to gather runs early in the tilt, scoring three in the first inning and four in the second. Davenport's first marker was scored in the first of the fourth but Muscatine came back and pushed three more runs over the plate.

He also received a gold medal but not for winning the championship. This was awarded the Coal Valley youth because he took first place in the Class; finals. Davenport Boy Second A Davenport boy, Roy Schind-ler, 1437 West Thirteenth street, took second place in the championship finals, driving an all-red car. Schindler, an 11-year-old boy, finished building his car about two weeks ago and certainly had it working in tip-top shape yesterday. Although he was one of the Class entrants, the youth whizzed his way through the first round of that class, up through the semi-tinals and then into the championship finals, where he was paired against two Class winners, one of whom was Benton and another Class car and yet managed to come in ahead of the other Class entrant, Ernest Harris, a Davenport colored boy.

On the basis of their previous times, Schindler and Harris should have run a dead heat, each having paced the course in one minute and 30 seconds on preceding runs, but in the finals young Schindler drove his car with ability to follow Benton across the finish line. Following Harris, the colored boy winner of third place in the championship finals was Paul Mass, the other Class entrant and the fourth driver In the final race. Wins Coyle Trophy Since the only purpose of the championship finals was to decide the winner of the M. E. Coyle trophy and the tri-city representative at the All-American Soap Box Derby at Akron, no prizes were given the other place winners in the final race.

Their medals were previously awarded them on the basis of their showing in the class finals, with the winners in Class and each receiving a gold, silver or bronze medal respectively for first, second and third places. The derby was a trifle slow in starting due to the immense crowd of people, which jammed the North Division street highway from one end of the course at Twenty-sixth street; north to Cram field, where the judges' stand and the finish line was located. As a result, it was quite a problem for state highway policemen and Davenport motorcycle police and the boy scouts to keep parts of the crowd irom straying onto the course, winner in the championship finals, ran into the rear of one of the official cars. The youth was slightly shaken up by the impact but went on to win the Class 'B" first place gold medal. The accident occurred just after Schindler, who was being preceded by the motor car and the motorcycle police, had won the first heat.

The motor car was held up by the crowd, which thronged the norm ena or tne course and as a result, when Schindler's soap box I derb-v car's brakes did not com- pieteiy hold, the midget car bumped the rear of the official machine, but the youth was not injured. Only One Accident The only accident of any consequence occurred when Donald Shanley of Davenport had a collision with another soap box car in the finals of Class and the youth's car turned on its side and then righted itself. Shanley injured his arm, scraped his leg and injured nis shoulder in the accident. He was given first aid on the grounds by the boy scouts and then taken to the home of his; grandmother, Mrs Martha Shan- ley, 2016 Iowa street, since his parents were out of the city on aj vacation trip. A number of other prizes werei awarded to the first round heat winners and the second-place holders.

The first place winners are to receive free tickets to the Ring-ling Brothers-Barnum Bailey circus, when it plays in Davenport, August 11. On that morning, the heat winners of both Class and Class are to call at The Daily Times and receive their tickets to the circus. The second-place winners got their awards immediately, being taken up in a group in Ben Gregory's 14-passen-ger Ford tri-motor plane, which has been at Cram field for several weeks. Best I'pholslered Car Another award, that for the best upholstered car, was won by Ross Sidney of Davenport. His car was cream in color, with red strips and red upholstering.

For winning this contest, Sidney received an official Soap Box Derby pen and pencil set. The announcer at the starting end of the course was the Purina Mills "Checkerboard Man" of St. Louis and Davenport. The public addresa system at the north end of the course was used for giving the names of the winners to the throngs, who lined the highway and sat along the banks of the road.

If sufficient backing is obtained, a general meeting of all football boost-ers will be called at an early date to form a corporation, John Hawley, also of Rock Island, accompanied Mr Hicks to Des Moines, and is active in the sponsoring of the club.

At present, Des Moines, La Crosse, Cedar Rapids and Rock Island are mentioned for franchises in the touthern division, La Crosse having been transferred from the northern division of the league which has been organized two seasons. League officials have made several attempts to contact sportsmen in Davenport in the hope of saving two entries from the tri-cities but to date have not been able to get any response. Mr Hicks was authorized to confer with representative business men in Davenport in the hope that in ter-city rivalry can be renewed on Professional gridiron Should Davenport refu refuse to con sider a franchise, the league has already made arrangements to shift the crack Minneapolis club of the northern division, managed by the famous Ken Haycraft, former Gopher All-American flankman to the southern group. The northern group would then start the season in the fall with St. Paul, Chippewa Falls, Duluth, Eau Claire, and Ironwood, giving both divisions the same number of entries.

Haycraft is president of the leaeue and is well known in the tri-cifies as there are a large' alumni residing here, including H. V. Almquist, director or atnietics at Augustana college. Cliff Sayther, Minneapolis, and Val Ness of St. Paul, who form erly held a franchise in the Na tional pro grid league, are other leaders in the league.
