ROCK ISLAND OFFICIAL

existing prior to tho advent of the rail
road and the farmer, and those existing
today. The expert cattlemen claim ii

Another objection is the heavy grades

Some dissatisfaction is being shown IN
the medical department regarding the ac-
tion OF the university book store in the
handling OF sales. The book store WAS
established at the university in order to
give the students the benefit Of buying
books at Wholesale prices. plus the cost
of express, and also that the students
might have some means OF sending or
ders 10 publishers FOR n large number
of books rather than TO have downtown
book dealers handle the orders. The OBJ
lection to the book store management;
comes on account Of the fact that now
the books are sold al list prices OF the
publishers. while il is well known that
many of the books. when bought in group
orders by the professors themselves. can
he obtained at "A discount of 20 per cent
This Is particularly true in the case OF
medical books, say members Of the medi-
cal faculty.
Another objection raised is that at the
present no books ordered at the book
store will be sent for unless the pro-
fessor in charge will O. * the order and
make a deposit on the books. The action
seems an injustice TO the professors. and
II is known that many of the professors
prefer TO order the books for their classes

GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND
BY RED PERKINS

at Athletic park fairly went into
spasms of delight when "Deke" Lee
Brand, the popular little catcher,
lifted the ball over Mike Welday'
head in the last half of the eighth
inning, bringing in three runs and tie
ing the score. Such a scene as followed
is seldom witnessed in San Diego Pan
demonium reigned for a few minutes
Staid business and professional men
threw their hats in the air, Rugged their
neighbors and yelled until they were
fairly black in the face. And when
LeBrand later galloped across the plate
on Buffers pretty single to center field,
the scene was repeated with even more
enthusiasm, if such a thing were pos
sible. And when it was all over and
the score stood 10 to 8 in favor of the
California winter league champions,
some enthusiast started a collection for
the San Diego player who had made
victory possible and whose playing
throughout the entire game was the
bright feature of the afternoon. The
fans contributed generously to the col
lection, and LeBrand went to supper q
richer and even more popular ball
player than he has been all winter,
and in the matter of popularity he has
always been one of the great favorites
with the San Diego fans.
The release of Catcher Back Warner
to manage Galveston of the Texas
league was only agreed on after he
promised to let the Senator's have first
call on his players for the next two
years.
Pitcher Cecil Ferguson of the Boston
National league club has received a
new contract from President Dewey in
place of the one in which the salary
was too low to suit him, and he will
sign the new one.
Tommy Leach Is one ball player that
is not superstitious. In his hurry to the
ball park one day he was obliged to &c
between two carriages on the way to
a funeral, and on that afternoon he
made four hits in as many times at
the bat.
The Pittsburg baseball club is after
Byrne, the fast third sacker of the st.
Louis team. 1t is known that Storke
has been offered for Byrne, with one
or two other men who are not regulars
on the team. 1t is intimated that
Pitcher Camnitz also may figure in the
deal, as he has not yet been signed
by the Pirates.
Ollie Pickering, the former star
player of the Senators, will try to make
good with the Minneapolis team of the
American Association league the COM
ing season.
