A Useful Elephant.

Gentry Bros. famous shows united,
which are soon to exhibit in this city,
have a troup of performing elephants,
which are both useful as well as orna-
mental. One of the elephants, Babe.
by name, plays II hand organ in the
Elephant Band, which is one Of the
ensemble numbers of the animal ac-
tors performance. As the pachyderm
is used to turn crank, his ability in
that direction is utilized after the
performance by turning the feed cut
ter, which chops up the hay for
100 or more of his pony associates.
At the conclusion of the performance
the other elephants go to corner of
the tent for rest, while Babe walks
outside to the cutting box and with
out any suggestion from any one
starts to complete his daily task.
The Gentry show will exhibit in this
city, Tuesday, June %. Tent location
Twenty-fourth street and Fifth ave.

the local club. The primary object of
their visit was to see Frank Donnelly
and make a deal if possible for him
to take the Springfield club, but Dom
nelly is doing too well with the Rock
Island bunch for any chance for re-
lease. He had to say to them nay,
but he promised to lend hand in
getting good man to succeed Te-
beau.
The Springfield men made a good
impression; they talk business, and
while little new to baseball got
some valuable pointers. The first and
main thing with them is to strength
en- the Wanderers, and it is reported
that one new man already signed is
McCafferty, who has been released to
them by Bloomington. The story was
that Decatur offered McCafferty 500
a month, but the local magnates
laugh at that. Mac will be a good
man for Springfield, for he is a good
pitcher when working well.
Arrangements were made for trans
ferring the Saturday game to Spring
field. 1t was the understanding there
that the season was to open there
that day. The schedule calls for the
opening Sunday, but tickets were sold
for Saturday and the game will go
there.-Decatnr Review.
Diamond Notes.
All the games in the Three-Eye
league were exciting yesterdays all
but the second one at Rockford being
wen by one score and al with the
above exception being won in the
ninth inning.
The troubles of Terre Haute in the
Central league continue to follow
each other thick and fast. Not only
does the team continue at the bottom,
but the people do not patronize the
game and there are internal troubles
in the team. 1t is now reported that
Walters, the second baseman, and
King, the shortstop, are to jump to
the Oakland club in the outlaw Cali
fornia league. Both were refused
their release.
Rock Island has had the rather I'M
usual experience of losing two games
and being stiI tied for it's place.
The results of yesterdays games
brought Decatur in line with Rock ISL
and Cedar Rapids in the second notch.
Taday's games will be particularly
important ON this account.
Springfield has at last reached the
800 class in it's mad toboggan, and
doubtless Dubuque feels comforted.
Robert CharnieF, an outfielder, has
been signed as member of the Dav-
export team. For several years Char
nier has been playing with the fast
independent team of Keokuk, of which
FiggemieF. formerly of Davenport, is
captain. He was in the game yester-
day.
Muscatine met disaster at Clinton
yesterday when the team from the
former city met defeat at the hands
Of the Clinton Independents by
score of 80 to l.
Frank Belt, the Bloomington catch
er, has been offered the management
of sthe Springfield team to take the
place of Al Tebeau, who retires next
week
Waterloo, Iowa, is an aspirant for
"a berth in the Three-Eye league next
year.
TRULY, of Bloomington, is now laid
up with a serious injury sustained in
a recent game.

Decatur, June 1S.-Hoag pitched a
fine game yesterday for the visitors,
but the team behind HIN gave him
poor support. The visitors in the
seventh inning by good batting and
accompanied with poor work by the
home team obtained lead that would
have given them the game had it not
been for muff of fly by Green in
the ninth. This misplay let in two
runs and gave Decatur the victory.
