Davenport The semi-pro baseball supremacy of the middlewest will be decided at Douglas park, Rock Island, Sunday night, when the House of David clashes with Gilkerson's Colored Giants of Chicago. The game will start promptly at 8. After splitting a two-game series with the Rock Island Valley league team, the Bearded Beauties of Benton Harbor went on a four-day tour of Illinois. They are billed to arrive in Rock Island tonight in time to get a good night's rest before the stiff battle which awaits them tomorrow. These two traveling teams will be enjoying their first night game together.

They have been daily since April in the south, southwest and middlewest, and each ha3 gained a reputation that makes thd fans flock to the contests. Gilkerson will bring a strong lineup to Douglas park. His players are extremely well-known. "Pee Wee" Dwight is rated as one of the greatest ball chasers in the semi-pro ranks. He is one of the outstanding performers on a team of stars.

Coleman Is Catcher. Coleman, the catcher, is perhaps the oldest active ball player in the country. He has passed the 50 mark, but his age does not stop him from assuming his duties behind the bat every day. Although he has lost some of his speed, he is quite able to hold down his job in spite of keen competition from young catchers. Giles, lanky negro, will be seen at first base, Haley at third and the sensational Charlie Akers at short.

Akers is enjoying his best season. He is hitting above the .300 mark and he is handling everything that comes his way. His constant chatter brings laughs from the crowd. Crespo, a Cuban, holds down the second base Job very well. He Is an important cog in the infield.

Keokuk nrsc game against tne mines ana with Hack Wilson's forty-ninth home run in the second and a six-run rally in the sixth as the high spots, they came out with a 17 to 4 triumph. Brooklyn downed Cincinnati almost as easily.

The Robins made a fast start against Ray Kolp and finished their part of the scoring in their 7 to 3 victory in five innings as Lopez and Wright hit timely homers. Babe Ruth continued his pursuit of Wilson in the season's home run race and furnished the one ray of light for the New York Yankees as they dropped completely out of the American league pennant chase. The Babe hit Homer 46 in the third inning, but his teammates' errors enabled the Detroit Tigers to stay in the running and finally win out in a ninth-inning rally, 5 to 4. Senators Win. Washington once more is 66 games behind the leaders.

Off to a six-run lead in the first two innings, the Senators barely staggered through to an 8 to 7 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Two games of no particular importance in the standings went ten innings and both were decided by 5 to 4 scores. The Boston Braves came from behind to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates by that margin. Boston's other team, the Red Sox, scored four times in the ninth to tie the score against the St. Louis Browns as Phil Todt hit a last-minute homer only to have the Browns come back for thefr fifth run in the extra inning.

His presence in the box means that the Bearded Beauties will be the underdogs by a slight margin because his record for the season speaks for Itself. He has a curve ball that makes the batters "break their backs" going after it, and he has a change of pace that is very deceiving. However, the House of David team is well fortified for the clash Sunday night. With Tally, Tucker, Faust, Brisk and Williams ready to head the attack and with Pitcher Laufier, who has won 75 percent of his games this year, in the box, the Bearded Beauties are ready for any opposition which their colored opponents might establish. again after a long lay-off is an experience somewhat like breaking into the big league.

A player has to readjust himself; you have to speed up to acquire again the right pace in your play. Keeping in trim on the bench can't take the place of nine innings a day against major league opposition. "What about the Cardinals? "They are a mighty fine ball club and have been all season.
