Last Night.
BIG hAULS ARE MADE
Property to Value of Several Hun
dred Dollars Taken at Each
Place.

Two more burglaries in Rock Island
following the one of the night before
on the bluff, and all in widely separa-
ted parts of the city, indicate that the
night marauder has started his depre-
datiOns again, and the earnest hope is
that his wild career will be checked
before it reaches the proportions OF
the campaign of last summer and fall

Rnnsacked Entire House.
At the Trimble home the intruder eff
fected an entrance by removing L
storm window and effecting an en-
trance into room on the first floor.
Gaining the interior of the house, the
burglar or burglars roamed recklessly

The rascalS decamped by way of the
back door. which they unlocked from
the inside and left wide open.
Not New Hands at IL.
That the men were not amateurs is
shown by the fact that while they went
int l.
Letting the servants apartments. the
work was done so quietly that not Il
member of the family was disturbed.
and the discovery of the fact that the
house had been entered was not made
until this morning.

At TOtten's Music house. 172G Sec.
Ond avenue, entrance was gained by
smashing the plate glass of a rear
door. An attempt was first made to
get in by cutting the glass. bur this
seems to have been too slow, and the
glass was broken in. The goods taken
include a number of scarfs used to
cover instruments, three mandOlins
two banjos, clarinet. a quantity OF
mouth harps, and other musical sup
plies. The loss is estimated at be
tween $3.50 and $500. Mr.. Totten should
be glad the men did not get away witt

George Robe Signs With

The rosters OF both the White sox
and the Cubs were further filled yes
terday when the contract Of George
Robe, Durveyor OF three baggers and
general utility man, was received by
Owner Comiskey Of the worlds cham
pions. while Whfred &. Osborne Of
Sycamore. o., presented himself and
contract at President 1Iurphy's office
in the Masonic temple
1t IS hardly necessary to state who
Robe Is. He is the man who backed
up the magnificent pitching of Ait
rock and Walsh in the first and third
games for the worlds championship
last fall with a three base hit each
time, scoring one run in the first and
clearing the bases in the second CON
test, thereby defeating the Cubs.
Rohe's natural aptitude with the stick
causes his fielding deficiencies to be
overlooked, or at leasr condoned, and
he Is certain to be retained throughout
the season by Comiskey
Osborne is an outflelder from the
Canton (Ohio) Central league team, and
tOuted as one Of the best stickers
in that organization. 1t was Osborne
who got the only hit for Canton in a
game with the Evansville team Aug.
%, and the pitcher who had the one
hit victory to his credit was Buck Free
man, the right handed twirler recently
signed by Comiskey
Osborne has been visiting an aunt
in Chicago and impressed owner Muir
ply considerably. He is a trife larger
than Sheckard. and IS said to be fast
in the outheld. He spoke highly of
Freeman's pitching, and seemed to
think both the Central league recruits

BURNS WANTS $4,000.
Puts a Damper on the Match with
Mike SchrecE.

Tommy Burns has put a damper on
his proposed match with Mike Schreck
by demanding a $4,000 purse, which is
not in sight at present and probably
never will be. Five figure purses are
not so plentiful they were a few
months ago and the only two in sight
are those for the Cans and Britt fight
at ponopah, and for the Burns and
O'Brien battle at Los Angeles
The first named contest is scheduled
to take place on March 16, and that be-
tween the heavyweights some time In
May. Of these, the Gans-Britt affair
undoubtedly viii be pulled off, but if
Senator Hartman's anti-fght bill be-
comes a law, which is expected, Burns
and O'Brien will be compelled to strike
the Nevada trail for a bunch of mon
ey to scrap for. Burns then will
not place SO high a value on his ser
vices and a purse. of $4,000 will look
big to him.

WABASH BATTERS
STRENGTHEN TEAM
Johnny Fisher Is Rounding
Out Squad But Finds
Dearth of Pitchers.

Charlottesville, Ind. Jan. 80.-"Wa-
bash viii have a batting bunch this
spring-why. eight men on the squad
are hitting sac and upward already"
Thus spake Coach Johnny Fisher as
he emerged from the net yesterday af-
ternoon after feeding his college pro-
teges on an assortment of dinky curves.
which they had slammed to all parts
OF the cage. The young Indianapolis
twirler is thriving on his indoor work
here, and is IN fine fettle. His arm
felt 50 good that he had a consuming
desire to cut loose a little yesterday.
but wisely refrained Fisher expects
to continue his work here until Man
ager Watkins orders him to Hot
Springs.
The Wabash squad especially the
battery candidates, are picking up
many valuable pointers from the clever
youngster who piloted the scarlet to
victory for several seasons prior to
making his debut as a professional.
1t is too early to venture predictions.
but the indications are that Wabash
will put out a strong team this season
In spite of the drain on the 1906 team.
Pitching Department Weak.
The probable weakness will be in
the pitching department where the
scarlet has had the greatest strength
for the last decade. Last year there
We're four pitchers Of college caliber
a command, but RUBBISH and Boulton
were lost by graduation, while VaIenti
entered professional ranks and Hub
bartt quit school. This year there is
a surfeit of new material but it is ex-
perimental. Erwin, Bridge, Freeman
and Pearson are the most likely can
didates. They have not been permit
ted to let themselves out, but Coach
Fisher is confident that he will be able
TO develop at least two good slab men.
