While the comedy, Two Merry
Tramps," as presented by Wood q
Wards company, has been pronounc-
ed a bright satire by the press
throughout the country during the
past two years. the play in itself is of
minor Importance, the specialties and
musical numbers introduced almost
continuously during the action of the
comedy being the features that have
placed this organization at the head
of its class. Some twenty pleasing,
tuneful and novel specialties are Civ
IN. among the most noted being the
Hobo Twu-Step' by Wood and Ward
and the Murray twin sisters. Tell Is,
Pretty Ladies'" as sung in "Florado-
RAJ" My Bhushing Rosie" with cho-
rus by entire company; The Big De
tective," a musical satire on Sherlock
Holmes; the Bowery quartet in The
East Side Belle" the Indian opera and
numerous individual specialties. The
abundance of bright and pretty cos
tunes, dashy, tuneful music. and
scenery, make the production of the
Two Merry Tramps" so closely re-
semble an elaborate extravaganza
that theatregoers scarcely realize
that they are witnessing farce com
edy, it being so different from the or
binary play of its class. The com
pany appears here tomorrow evening.

The masses. The American public is
sympathetic and they are always
ready to listen to the story of the
unfortunate, and this peculiar class
of ne'er-Clo-well nomads amuse and at
the same time appeal to them. Of
the numerous plays of this kind none
has achieved greater success than Ell

Notes of the Diamond.
There was no game here today, wet
grounds preventing. If the diamond
IS in condition tomorrow there are to
be two games played, the first begin
ming at . o'clock.
There was further improvement in
the conCitiun of Walter Crum today.
He is rapidly recovering from the
state of unconsciousness in which he
has been since hit by a pitched ball,
and today for the first time was able
to discuss the accident.
Pitcher Amos Scott is to be given a

league team at the conclusion of the
Central league season.
The Dubuque Times is knocking on
Charlie Buelow and wishes old Joe Lo-
beck engaged as manager for next
season. Lobeck is all right in his
head, hut is pretty nearly all in else
where.
Of the fifty pitchers used by the
American league this season only six
have escaped being taken out of the
box. and of the six, only four have
been pitching all season. Two of the
four are Moore and Joss. of the Blues,
while the others are Kitson and DOno-
van. of Detroit
There are two ties in the percent
age column as a result Of yesterdays
games. Decatur and Davenport for
second place, and Cedar Rapids and
Rockford for fifth place.
\ few victories have again cheered
up the Davenport fans, and they have
gotten up courage sufficiently to talk
Of raising another purse on condition
forthcoming series with Rock Island.
In view of the acknowledgment
from Bloomington that the two Mon
day games were handed to Davenport,
it is difficult to conceive to whom

Labor day was evidently pretty
strong going for the home team, for
in yesterdays game with Hugh NicOl's
aggregation they didn't reach the
home plate once, but had to be salts
fled with third base.
Rusty" Owens, with 1.-The smile
that won't come off, was on the
firing line for Rockford and pitched a
steady game, keeping his hits well
scattered. "Jiggs" Arthur served the
benders for the locals and only allow
ed five hits. pitching that would win
an ordinary game, but the home team
couldn't hit Owens consecutively.
The diamond was wet around first
and third, which undoubtedly cost US
a run in the fourth when Nandine led
off with a pretty hit to deep right.
In turning first he fell tn his knees
and Rockwell held him at second.
After Lister and Latimer had gone
out Dickey singled and Van could
have scored. but slipped again round

out at second. Again in the sixth
