TO HAVE A CHANGE
Two Uniforms for Rock Island
Team Next Sea-
son.
ONE TO BE OF RED AND BLUE
Davenport Selects Gray and Ma
roon-Next Weeks
Meeting.

The Rock Island baseball team has
risen to the dignity of two uniforms
that is, il is expected that the com.
ing season each player will have two
suits, one for. home use exclusively
and another for travelling purposes
| If the schedule that has been pre-.
pared is adopted, and there is every
reason to believe it will be. the
games will come too thick to permit
of sending single uniforms TO the
laundry. and il is likely that the 9th
err clubs will find it necessary to fol
low Rock Island in the idea of hav-
ing two suits.
{. ID. White n representative of
Spalding & Co., was here yesterday
to see the officers of the Rock Islan6
and Davenport associations in rela-
ton to uniforms. The local officers
selected red caps and stockings to
go with the blue trunks of last sea-
sons second uniforms, while Daven-
port chose gray and maroon for the
materials. of the new suits to he
worn by the players there. At the
next meeting of the Rock Island di-
rectors recommendation will be
offered for the purchase of another
uniform, and il will in all likelihood
be adopted.

Sexton having consented, to the sat
isfaction of the whole league, to serve
another term, the indications are
that he will. be chosen by acclama
ton. He has made a most excellent
executive and the directors of the
league consider themselves fortunate
in having induced him TO continue in
the position at least another year.
\ new idea that will be suggested for
adoption is that the town winning
the pennant have the annual meeting

FOOD NOT ALL

Food is not all the thin man
needs. Maybe he's sick. You
can't make him eat by bring
ing him food. But SCOTS
Emulsion can make him eat
That Emulsion gives a man
appetite and feeds him both.
1t brings back lost flesh.
No trouble about digestion
The weakest stomach can di-
gest SCOTS Emulsion. 1t tastes
good, too. SCOTS Emulsion
paves the way for other food.
When wasted and weakened
by long illness it gives strength
and appetite that ordinary food
cannot give. Not only food
medicine, too-Scott's Emul-
sion of pure cod-liver oil.
Well send you little to try il you like.

healthful, away from the noise and
impure air of the city. These lots are
located on Fourteenth street between
