Various unions have been formed among
the Jews of Russia in recent years. unions
for Jewish as we'll as for non-JewiSh pur-
poses. There have probably been more diff
ferent societies than was good for the in
terests Of our people in that land. 1t has
already been remarked again and again
and cut up into many groups and assoca-
tons.
But OF all the organizations that have
been brought into existence perhaps the
most important and certainly the most in
teresting Is now in the process Of forma-
ton. 1t Is namely a proposed union of all
the rabbis of Russia. News of this move
ment, which had been set afoot by Rabbi
Lurie Of Minsk. has just reached the Jew
ish community Of New York and the Yid-
dish press here Is paying much attention
to this most important event In Russian
Jewry.
In response to his call for union sent
to all the rabbis of Russia, Rabbi Iiurie
had. up to the time that this report was
sent by mail to America, received 500 re-
sponses from rabbis who were in thorough
agreement with his plan and expressed
their readiness to join the organization.
The purpose of the organization stated
in the call. which has been issued, Is: ITO
make plain to our people the fundamental
principles of Judaism, to strengthen. IL
illuminate and crystalline the feeling of the
faith of our people.
1.-The underlying intention Is to create
in Russia, and for the first time in the his

ing the first game Saturday at Cedar

was felt by the Rock Island citizens
who were present. Every one realiz IL
that the moment was a critical one
for Rock Island. Tighe seemed every
where, holding the players steady and
relieving the intense strain as much
as possible. Many critical stages IN
the game passed without disaster as
a result of his influence though whea
the contest was over he himself al
most collapsed, so keenly had he felt
the strain of the moment However
he was there urging the men to go into
the second game and 'gO at 'em ha :
der than ever, boys" And they dill
as urged. A feature of the first game
was Vandines pretty stop and double
play to Hines, which retired the Bun
MES when they looked most dangerous
The fourth inning of the second
game was a remarkable one, during
which the eight runs were
scored off Marion. Swain started il
with three bagger, and when the
team had batted around, Neal finish
ing the list with another three base
hit, Marion was taken out, and Rada
