''T0YLAND" COMPANY
GIVES UP THE GHOST
Performance at the Illinois Last Even
ing Is the Final One-To Be
Restased Later.

''Toyland' saw its finish at the Hi
nois last evening and today it was stat
ed that the company would be taken
back to Chicago and the piece rewrit-
ten and sent out with some changes
in the cast. Members of the troupe
are still in the city this afternoon,
however. The fault, Judging by the
performance last evening, was not with
the people, but with the play, though
improvements might be made in one or
two places in the cast. In the main,
the talent was good enough for the av-
eraSe road company. The chorus,
while small, was pretty, the voices
were good and little fault was to be
found with the music But the dialogue
was fiat and as presented here an i'll
fusion of ginger was badly needed
This latter defect may have been ac.
counted for, however, by the poor pat
ronage and knowledge that it was a
last effort.

Aside from the question of leader
there are several other matters that
will claim attention. One is the adop-
ton of the constitution which has been
revised and is ready for final action.
If the draft as prepared is adopted the
league will be left without a salary
limit and the smaller towns will have
absolutely no recourse if the larger
ones choose to virtually buy the pen
nant through a high priced team.
Another danger exists in the plan
advocated by Peoria to provide for a
guarantee for each game. Several
times this has been turned down by
the league and the success met with
in the last seven years ought to cause
the magnates to go slow. Peoria was
originally voted franchise when the
league was organized in 1901 and fell
out because no guarantee was pro-
vided for. Wilson Behring's disjointed
schedule. scheme. by which he would
allow the four leading teams to finish
the season. dropping the second divi-
sion out of it with, say a dozen games
to play, is another experiment that
should not be authorized
Whether Judge Graves decides the
Dubuque injunction case before the
meeting or not it is not likely to make
any difference with respect to the
status of the tail end team. 1t is con-
coded that it would be bad policy to
attempt to change the circuit now even
il the courts are willing and those
who were anxious to get Dubuque's
scalp some months ago have admitted
that they are content now to retain
the town another season.

Hero Rmt Short Time.

Pat Saey was with Rock Island in
the season of 1906 for a short time, be-
ing brought i'll by Jack Mcconnell,
then manager, near the close of the
year, when it was seen that the pitch
ing staff needed bracer. Mcconnell
had worked with him in the Western
league when Saey was in his prime
and thought he would do here. How
ever, his arm was not good enough to
last long when the Three-Eye batters
got after him, and he was dropped.
Saey is a big fellow, standing about
six feet and weighing nearly 200
pounds.
