DUST FROM DIAMOND.

Today's Rock Island-Rockford game
was called off. Wet grounds.
Rockford may get Johnny Thiery
again. He is badly needed now.
Rockford has signed Davidson. the
Crookstcn, Mimi, player who has been
with the Clinton Independents.
Donnelly has so far failed to come
to terms in his negotiations for Null
laney for first, and Springfield papers
say he has lines out to get Dickey
from Indianapolis.
Milan. the new umpire. has begun in
the right way. He warned the play
ers at Decatur that any further kick
ing would be followed by an attach
ment of portion of their salaries.
Davenport Democrat: Jones. of last
seasons Davenport team. pitched for
Dubuque yesterday and won another
victory against Bloomington. The first
day he was put in to twirl he defeated
Rock Island. Oh, why didn't we keep
Jones?
After Thursdays game the Rock

ment: "Sump should have slept well
last night. Inc MT IN Yesterday =
game was the first he has made"
Stump is one of those eastern men who
when he signed presented credentials
showing batting average of $50, or
therea bout.
Wee Willie McGill has at last reach
ed about the end of his rope. He has
signed with the Worcester team OF the
Connecticut league and will begin his
labors this week. If Willie had used
judgment in lifting high balls with
his right arm his southpaw would now
be good enough for faster company,
but all of his work in this line here
tofore has been with the left. Hence
the trouble.
What reputation as a batsman n
man must have when every paper i'll
the league comments on his making n
double. That is what is happening tn
Berte Just now. 1t will be remember
| ed that he started 1903 with a home
run at Davenport, but was beaten out
of it by rain coming on before five
innings were played. He had never

Rock Island and Davenport have
their first meeting of the schedule
season tomorrow afternoon on the
local grounds. Davenport had the
best of il i'm the three exhibitions, win
ming two.
There has been Strengthening of
the Colts since then, and the indica-
tions are for one of the Pretticst con-
tests of the year at the home park to-
morrow. Manager Hayes is of the
opinion he has gotten together the
fastest aggregation that ever support
ed the colors of the burg on the OPP
pcsite side of the stream. He is just
returning after visit to Blooming
ton, Springfield and Decatur. In the
seven games played up to yesterday
Davenport had won three. That is not
a poor showing by any means away
from home.
The Colts have Jared equally well,
but they have been playing on their
own grounds. which il conceded to be
Il decided advantage. However, the
game tomorrow will afford these rival
clubs opportunity to display their real
mcttic. for. Judging by the struggles
in former years. there will be no loaf
ing of the players on either side, and
the spectators will have the benefit in
seeing both teams do their level best.
Not that they do not always do this,
bat when the tension is so acute as in
the case of Rock Island and Davenport
they can he depended upon to do a
little better than they do ordinarily.
IIagcrman will pitch for the Colts.

GETTING THE SUMMER CARS
READY FOR THE SEASON

The workmen at the shops of the
Tri-City Railway company are busily

or summer cars. This work will in
volve a period Of a week or 10 days.
after which all the summer cars of
the company will he put in use. This
work would have been accomplished
before this time but for the backward

r. n. KELLEY, WHIRLWIND
SHORTHAND MAN, IN CITY

Il. T. Kelley is man who should
marry woman with n tongue hung
in the middle. wagging at both ends.
Not that he could talk back at the
same rate of speed. But he could just
sit down and write every word she
had to say and wear out the best wo-
man that ever started to do talking
stunt.
Mr.. Kelley is the fastest shorthand
writer in America and cnrOute to the
ST. Louis fair stopped over yesterday
afternoon to give an exhibition at
Browns business college. All the stu
dents and their friends were assem-
bled to watch him work.
With no apparent effort the young
man wrote 200 words per minute by
dictation. If il is Il case of haste he
is wiling tn do p or 80 words better.
In fact. he isn't sure but he might in
crease the speed 80 words or more if
he can find a person who talks that
fast. He is looking for a fast talker
just to get some practice in his work.
Blindfolded. Mr.. Kelley was able to
write 100 words minute on the board.
To the uninitiated it looked like a
bunch of chicken tracks in. the mud.
but Mr.. Kelley took the handkerchief
off his eyes. and to prove that he is
there with the goods. deciphered the
hieroglyphics without error.
The young man Is only % years of
age. good looking. modest. complex
ion like a well-ripened peach and a
smile that never deserted him. Ii was
no wonder that the young women at
the college fell in love with this man
who is the Dan Patch of the short
hand business.

Rock Island mas nau TWO SIuUleS Oh
Shakespeare'S old comedy, "Twclfth
Night" the present season. The first
was offered some weeks ago by a
splendid company headed by Marie
Wainwright. Her reputation gained
decade ago as one of the foremost
emotional actresses on the American
stage had been forgotten and the per-
Torrance was passed over with not
more than handful to see it. Viola
Allen came last evening in the second
production. and it must be admitted,
not taking into consideration the
stars, the company in which Miss
Wainwright appeared was the strong
II. But there is a charm to Miss Al
lens personality and her acting that
has brought her very close to the pa
irons of the theatre. Her name stand
ing alone is sufficient to attract full
house. She had one last night, and
She repeated the triumph she made
here two seasons ago in I'm the Pal
ace of the King" Miss Allen in ply
>ique and temperament * admirably
suited to the character of Viola, and
She enters into its Interpretation with
the same natUralnesS. earnestneSS and
feryency that characterized her work
in all former plays. Viola is a part
that is very easily exaggerated. but
Miss Allen carefully avoids any devia-
ton from the intent of the author
that would permit of this criticism.
Her own personality perVa AIDES her ev-
cry movement. That is what has
made her performance of this comedy
on which so many stars have been
wrecked financially the success it has
proved. Scott Craven was the Duke
of Illyria. James Young was Sebas-
tan. {. Leslie Allen the Antonio, John
Blair the Malvolio. Charles Handyside
