INVITATION IS EXTENDED

Words for Local Course.

J. G. Davis, writing in the Chicago

doings of the golf clubs, gave the fol-

followers of the sport in the three cit

Secretary c. Il. Thompson of the
Western Golf association yesterday re-
ceived formal application for the
western amateur championship from
Colonel Hobbs, president of the Rock
Island Arsenal Golf club.
This is the first bid received and as
the club last season proved its ability
by handling the Mississippi
championship, it can be counted upon
as a strong contender for the honor

At one time dandruff-was attributed
to the result of feverish condition of
the scalp, which threw off the dried
cuticle in scales.
Professor Unna. Hamburg, Germany
noted authority on skin diseases, eX-
plodes this theory and says that dan
druff is a germ disease.
This germ is really responsible for
the dandruff and for SO many bald
heads. 1t can be cured if it is gone
about i'll the right way The right way
of course. and the only way, is TO kill
the germ.

Three-Eye Baseball Men Expect
Curtailment of Receipts
Next Season.
CUT OFF FANCY SALARIES
Take Hint From Condition of the Show
susiness-HoIIand Calls An
nual Meeting.

Baseball magnates in the Three-Eye
class are giving the business situation
about as much attention as they are
the makeup of their clubs.
They see from the attendance that
theaters are drawing that there is
trouble ahead this summer unless bust.
ness changes radically, and there is
an improvement in the disposition of
the public to cut loose from its money.
The show business has about gone to
the dogs. Only the favored few are
able to maintain themselves on the
road and the number of disbandments
is the greatest recorded in many years.
Managers of baseball clubs and base
ball associations see in this a predic-
ton that is unfayorable.
Attendance during the season Just
past was fair in nearly all the Three.
Eye towns, but Dubuque fell down
Bloomington got outside the $4,000
limit only a few days before the sea
son closed. Few of the towns made
money.
What of Future.
Now, if this was the condition in
times as flush as those last summer
what will happen even with a small
percentage of decrease in attendance?
The Three-Eye will be able tc
weather it, but it is the intention OF
every manager to trim close to the
winds. He must do so. The tendency
to respect the salary limit will be
strong.
New players at fancy prices will moi
be engaged by many managers. The
old men at the same salaries will bl
