Anvil Chorus Has Effect.

If Davenport, instead of resolving
itself into an anvil chorus as soon as
its club struck a losing gait, had man
ifcsted more loyal spirit, better
showing might have been made by its
players. for it is a well-known fact in
baseball that the men who compose
team cannot do satisfactory work
before knocking audience.
Rock Island. had it known that Dav-
export was to have displayed such n
wcal<-kneed front at this time, might
have been considerate enough of its
sister towns feelings to let the
race terminate with the team here
and the one in Davenport in the same
positions as they were last year, when
the club from across the creek finish
ed ahead of Rock Island. The fans in
this city naturally felt their pride
Jared a year ago when the season
was finished, for there has always
been rivalry in baseball. as in all
other things. between the two cities,
but they did not croak and declare
they were done with the game. On
the contrary, they showed increased
enthusiasm and went into the con-
test at the beginning of the last sea-

Football at Knox.

Knox college has made rapid strides
in her athletic department, as she
has otherwise. Long after the time
Abraham Lincoln shuffied lankily but
sturdily up the stone steps to argue
scientific matters with the gray-hair-
ed professor. Hurd, who still pre-
pares the novitiates for life's strug-
gle, numbers of her youth were seen
running up and down among the
trees and in the tall grass, kicking

There were no audiences in those
DAYS other than occasional passers-
by. Paying admission would have
been a shock to the community. But
IL is all different now" remarked a.
\. dickson, assistant manager of
athletics, today. Some fellow over
in the old country figured out a new
way of playing football. This new
way didn't take well in the place it
was invented, but it rolled over the
ocean, and, in some way or other, got
anchored at the old reliables, Yale
and Harvard. Yale and Harvard had
lust ruined few thousand shins, and
it was only natural that the scientific
departments of those stable institu-
tions would want to increase re-

TALES OF THEATRE

There are number of pastoral
plays now occupying the boards, but
none better or more enjoyable than
"Old Jed Prouty." 1t was one, if not
the first, in the field, and not one of
its successors has for a moment cast
it into the background. "Old Jed
Prouty' has not so many accessories,
such as snow storms and well sweeps,
but relies solely upon meritorious
acting and the truthful portrayal of
its characters. 1t has its own atmos-
phere, and doesn't need any extra
blasts from outside. The charm of
ii all centers round the odd charac-
ter of old Jed himself The story is
a surprisingly simple one, yet there
are more real tears, more creditable
emotions, more sunny smiles in "Old
Jed Prouty' than in any other play
seen in many weeks. The play will
be given at the Illinois next Sunday.

the London Globe says, since its or

As the result of conference with

President NJ. II. sexton has given Dav-
export until Tuesday Of next week to
show a stock subscription of 50 900,
an amount that will be required of
every city that expects to hold a
franchise in the Three-I league dur
ing the season of 1903. On that day
President Sexton has planned to be in
Springfield in conference with the
promoters of the national game
there, and in the event of a negative

fans to proceed with their organiZa-

Davenportls present performance
on the baseball proposition is not at
all surprising to those who have kept
their eyes open during the recent
season, and particularly during
the closing weeks, when Rock ISL
and's team took brace and finally
landed above Davenport in the per-
centage column. While the Iowans
were in the lead the fans there were
happy and turned out in goodly num-
bers to the games. Anything to beat
Rock Island was the. slogan, and
doubtless the team on that side did
its best to win over the Rock Island
ers, but the latter finally hit a
pace that cinched fourth place in the
official standing at the close of the

Knox Rooters VIII BE Strong.

The sympathy OF the majority Oh
the football enthusiasts in the three
cities will of course favor Knox, as
that college has many alumni here.
1t has been requested that those who
wish to shout for Knox find places
near the section reserved for the sup
porterS of that team. Knox colorS
are purple and gold, while those of
Notre Dame are national blue and
old gold.
The game, it is generally conceded
will decide the college championship
of the west, which Notre Dame now
claims by virtue of having held Mich
igan down to the lowest score the
Wolverines have made this season.
Knox has also shown fine form and
the victory over Northwestern uni
versity has shown that the doughty
Galesburg eleven is not far inferior
TO the elevens of the big universities.
The rivalry between the two schools
is intense, as the result of two games
of baseball played last spring in
which each team won one by single
score. Knox and Notre Dame never
met on the gridirOn.
If there is one man on the Indiana
team that the Illinois boys dread TO
meet it is Salmon. the big fullback.
His record in the game against Mich
igan is enough to inspire respect for
him. Time after time he went
through the Wolverine line till he was
finally within three yards of the big
eleven's goal. Here he was finally
held and the ball was punted out of
danger. 1t was the closest call Mich
! igan has had in many Il day.

But here and there even
among school girls appear
