HUeraSe Of Members
of Rock Island Cedn1

The batting and fielding averages
of the members of the Rock Island
team for the greater part of the pres
ent season, hereby published for the
first time, include approximately the
first so games played. The data is
official and it taken from the records
of the team both at home and on the
road so far as they have been report
ed to date.
The figures will probably occasion
some surprise. Of those who have
taken part in Il large proportion of
the games, Guy Dickcy leads the team
not only in the field, but with the will
low, stanCfng considerably nearer the
800 mark than any other player now
on the team. 1t is shown that, while
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-08-27

Rock Island has no bright particular
stars with the stick, the average of
the team is good. Donnelly and Dick
ey lead in the number of stolen bases,
while the number of sacrifice hits the
former has made is unusual.
In the fielding Arthur with five
chances included in the reports from
which the percentages are figured, has
fielding record of 1000. Graham's
percentage is figured as an infielder.
1t will be noticed that there is little
difference between Graham and Ids
ter. Rebsamen showed up well both
in the field and at bat. Of course it
is likely that the reports of the later
games played will show some differ
ence, but it will be Slight.

There is every reason to believe a
large audience will be present at the
romantic production which Arthur
d. Hall calls ~ Gentleman from Gas
cony," at the Illinois Sunday. Han
ley and Son have given Us some fine
companies and plays that interest the
students of history. They are very
French in their ideas and have pre-
scented the Gaelic drama in its highest
quality, with superb mounting and
every attention to truthful ensemble.
Expense is not spared in producing
the works Of the best masters of
stage literature. This production
promises to be one of their best eff
forts inasmuch as the theme is eN-
tremely interesting. The atmos-
phere is picturesque to degree
showing ancient Paris in holiday hui
NOR. The scene opens at the festivi-
ties of the wedding of the prince of
Navarro to the sister of King Charles
IN. The streets of ST. Germain are
crowded with the bourgeoisc who are
being entertained by the P0lichinelle
and Perots. band of Gypsies pull
into the town and among them is a
Young Gascon. whom the bohemians
have rescued from the banditti. He is
in sorry condition for dress and the
merrymakers make him the butt of
their sport. He shows fighting metal
however, and cracks more than one
skull before the captain of the guards
interevencs. Fortune with him, he
soon becomes attached to the kings
forces where he finds foes worthy
of his steel and in one encounter
saves his royal masters life. In con-
trast to the holiday making of the
early scenes the story carries the
hero into the riots common to the
period of 1872. He passes through
many adventures which win him hon
or and distinction. ending with mar
riage with the fairest lady of the
court. Conspiracy, plot and counter
plot permcates the story, much OF
which is interesting history.
