The american sheep Is coming to

which the farmer found himself *
years ago was largely a wool-pro-
Sdacing sheep. and wool was then IA
Ginning at a rapid rate. The demand
ior mutton was much less then than
now. In the 10 years there has been a
great change in the character OF Amer

suited for the production OF mptton

the price Of wool is again high enough

one that produces meat that brings a
good price in the city markets. The
sheep that have been grown on poor
feed and then fatteneG quickly sell for

The Elks of Davenport outplayed the
local lodge yesterday at Island City
park and won by a score of to 2.
Dufin dished out the horsehide puzzles
to the Iowa lodge and his work was
good, though his support was weak and
many scores were made as a result.
Balluff and Mccormick did the battery
work for Davenport and Salzmann
worked with Dufin. Wiesler held the
Indicator. Benson's fielding for the
Rock Island team was the feature and
his spectacular catch of liner was a
brilliant one. Salzmann and Dart at
the bat did good work. The local Elks
made several costly errors which were
responsible for several runs.
1t is the plan of the Rock Island
lodge of Elks to raise a general char
ity fund and the receipts of yester
days game together with those of the
games played in the future will be ap-
piled 10 this fund, though it has not as
yet been decided definitely to what

will play again in the near future. The

tournament is being played, a large

strong possibility for the cup. though
the quality of Ardo's play in the recent

will be the winner if he plays up to the
