There were two very good reasons
why Rock Island failed to land vic
tory yesterday. One was that Cedar
Rapids was able to hit throughout
the game. The other was that Rock
Island did not learn where to find the
bah till the seventh inning. Errors
helped the visitors to the most of
their scores, but the mislplays were
mainly made on chances that were
very difficult. The Rabbits were able
to get so squarely against the ball
that it just burned hole through.
Two three-baggers and four two
baggers with three chances that were
scored as errors in the outfield that
with different feeders in the lot would
have gone down as two-base hits tell
a large chapter of the story. While
Rock Island showed the ball out for
10 safe ones. one more than the visi-
tors did. they were all, with one eX-
ception, tagged for only one base.
The home team was never danger
Gus except in the last inning and the
finish was a hard one. With four runs
needed to tie the score and no one
having the faintest idea that such a
thing would happen, the home play
eGs after two were out made hit after
hit till two runs were in and the
bases were full. Then it was up TO
Pete Lister. and that gentleman was
too anxious. Had he not wanted to
hit quite 50 badly as he did he would
probably have done so, but as it was
he famed out.

export he has made many friends. all
of whom wish him SUCCESS with the
Cairo team.
The fact that Berte got two hits off
of him Is sufficient proof that Graham
was not in his usual form yesterday.

players will be given a trial in major

Worse In Third.

But in the very next inning things
went from bad to worse. 1t looked
as though matters were coming our
way when Kennedy hit to right low
fly THAT Wind was able to spear, but
not to hold onto. The runner made
the mistake of trying to take another
on the play and was tagged out. In
the next breath Hines swatted the
yarn for two and Brown sent a long
winding, twisting one high over Dick
eys head in left. Dicley wound about
after it and finally got his mitts on it
and scored an error. Brown took sec
and and Hines came home. Noyacek
went out on a ny, but Hansen sent a
sizzIer to Hickey and that gentleman
failed to touch and it rolled to CEN
ter field. Donnelly threw for Brown,
who was racing for the plate, but
Graham saw there was no chance and
he intercepted the ball in time to get
it to second and tag Hansen, though
the run was in.
Both sides played good ball till the
seventh and it looked as though the
final score might be 8 to o. But in
the seventh Hill lived on one of Van
dimes errors, and though he died on
a fielder's choice Berte lived and went
to second on a wild pitch, to third on
Holmes out at first and scored when

The city council met In special
session last night. The cause for
the meeting grew out of the local
railroad situation. During yester
day afternoon the representatives
of the contractors had loaded on
wagons some of the rails necessary
to build the road, and desired to
distribute them along certain
streets. The may or very properly
refused, and also, at the same time
and very properly too, called an
extra meeting of the city council,
At that meeting nothing was done,
the matter as 1t then stood. being
left In the hands of the mayor.
Last night. another meeting was
called at the instance of the railroad

found out that 1t was the eleventh
anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Rey

few invited friends, assembled al

nolds and gave her a genuine
surprise. It was entirely q
ladies affair, Mr.. Reynolds being
absent at his work in the oil
field, no gentlemen were invited.
A most delightful evening was
spent and none seemed to
enter into 1t with more pleasure
than the aged grandmother, Mrs ].
S. Reynolds, of Tidioute, Pa, who
has been spending the winter In
this country, dividing her time with
her two granddaughters, Mrs.
Broderick, of Wheeling, and Mrs.
Reynolds. During the evening a
very handsome chair was presented
to the hostess, Mrs. Reynolds, by
the ladies, Mrs. Flora Hindman
making the presentation In a neat
little speech. Mrs. Reynolds
was somewhat uunerved at this
surprise, but soon rallied and
very gracefully and graciously
acknowledged the beautiful gift.

that the management desired, 1t Is
a source of qualification TO the per-

the local play house TO know that
In every respect the season just
closed was an improvement over
the previous one. This ends the
second year of Mr.. Doyle's control
of the Auditorium. During tha,
time, he has given the theatre

previous experience made this pos
sible. The Review Is not exaggerat

Changes come rapidly In the oil
business as In other industries, but
of late years there has seemed little
of encouragement to the holders Of
producing properties. The Stand
ard OH company have exercised
their power to flch and plumber to
such In extent that there has been
slight opportunity for the individ-
ual producer to hold his own or
stay In the business. 1t Is now
being rapidly brought to mind that
only through combination can there
be a chance to succeed and while
the oil producing business Is about
the last to be organized there Is
now every evidence of strong com.
binations of outside or independent
talent.
Kentucky and Tennessee boom
ers have ceased to attract more
than passing attention.
Kansas promoters circulate the
usual alluring and attractive
prospectus" on the oil and gas
possibilities of that state and In
dian Territory. Were 1t not that
this class are largely In control of
desirable territory there would be
greater inducement for eastern
operators to invest in territory.
The fields of Kansas and Indian
Territory are attracting more at
tention than those of Kentuckey
and Tennessee.

Low prices for oil, high prices
for materlel and scarcity Of terri
tory are hsving their effects. Com
papies are organized for the pur
pose of producing, piping and re-
fining oil and these companies are
already showing their hand In the
purchase of producing properties,
Henceforth, where anyone engaged
In the producing business desired
to sell their properties, only one
buyer could be found and that was
the Standard OH Company. Things
are going to be different now and
high grade oil and producing prop
critics In the field known aa Penn

like their real value. The arbi.
trary methods of the Standard have
at last aroused the producers to
action.

will restore the last prestige of the
