WILL nit US HARD
Drafting by Major Leagues Elk
pected to Take at Least
Five Islanders.
AND PERHAPS TWO MORE
Means There viii be Practically
Nothing Left To Build Team
With Another Season.

With the opening OF the drafting
season less than week distant, SIP
ulatiOn is rife as 10 what men from
the Three-Eye league win be snapped
up by the big fellows. The major
leagues have a clear field i'll the mat
ter of drafting from Sept TO Sept
10, and during the remainder of the
month the Class A teams get a chance.
II is more than likely that the greater
part of the Three-Eye men who have
attracted favorable attention so far
this year will be gobbled up in the
drst few days of the drafting period
and this despite the fact that there IS
greater amount of available timber
for higher class ball this year than
ever before in the history of the
league
The Islanders team for next year
will undoubtedly include many new
faces because of the heavy inroads
which the drafters promise to make II
the ranks of Jack Tighe's men. One
who is on the inside, if any one in The
circuit is, makes the statement that
four and possibly five or more of
Tighe's men are billed TO be drafted
He states that Catcher Gus Eng win
De the first man who will be demand
ed by faster clubs, and that Pitcher
Chrsty Wilson. Shortstop Joe Berger.
Outfielder Frank Murphy and Second
Baseman Otto Vogel will, follow in
rapid succession, if his information is
correct There seems considerable
probability that Pitcher Billy Neal and
Outfelder Clyde Mcbride will also he
taken from the ranks for tryouts IN
faster company. With Pitcher George
Hardin already sold to the Detroit
Tigers at a good figure ana Paul Me-
loan due to return to st. Paul club in
the American association, it looks as
though the Islanders will be scattered
far and wide when next season opens.
Other CIubs VIII Suffer.
The other clubs. in the league viii
furnish a number of good men for the
prospective drafters to fight for also.
Callahan, Cosgrove. Blausser and
Johnson of Springfield are worth hag-
ing as are also the following: Rowan
of Peoria. Collins and Melchoir Of
bloomington, Hauser of Dubuque and
McGrew and Ohland of Davenport In
addition to these there are a number
of men who have already been sold
into faster company. and number #
lesser lights who are worth taking
chances on.

on all sides, soldiers falling into line
sent the multitude scattering in ev-
cry direction, and the clank of sabres
and rattle of musketry as the troops
fell into position added to the con-
fusion OF sounds that told OF another
chapter in the story of the day.
SO perfect were the arrangements
for the formation and the movement
of the troops that not an instant was
lost, and directly the President began
mis- drive 10 The White House the
escort took up its march and was fol-
lowed by the long line of military
and civic Organizations which had
come TO Washington from all parts of
the country TO contribute their share
to the glory of the occasion.
From the foot of Capitol Hill to the
White House at Seventeenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, there was
succession of stands banked with
humanity, all eager to see the new
President and his big parade. The
majority of these people had been
seated several hours before the cere-
monies at the Capitol began. Every
stand bore It's gay colors. and along
the entire route every bit of available
space was occupied Every window
in the long succession of buildings
was crowded. and the great masses
of people who blocked the streets
stood patient throughout the hours
of the afternoon watching the kaleid-
oscopic picture of marching bodies.
Every military organization had its
own band, and there was music from
the Capitol to the end of the route
Gay "ragtime" selections, stirring
marches and patriotic airs kept the
crowd in continual good humor, and
the eye as well as the ear was pleased
in the splendid appearance and har-
mony of every organization in line.
The precision of the military and the
exactness with which they executed
the prescribed maneuvers. as they
passed the reviewing stand of the
President. were in no manner affect
ed by the Importance of the occasion
State troops and other organizations
in many instances manifested not a
little nervousness as each passed the
center of the stand in the little space
in front of the White House grounds I:
but these organizations were on this
account none the less effective in
their appearance, and each received
the broad smile of greeting.
In the long line of marching or
ganizations were strapping young
cadets and midshipmen fresh from
the class room and rifle range; gray
haired veterans who had fought the
battles of history and whose silver
hair and bent shoulders told stories

of victories won and defeats encoun-
tered, and many representations, civ
ic and military, of the young though
mature manhood of the country Old
and young, soldier and civilian
played their parts in this picturesque
feature of the Inauguration, and to
each organization was accorded the
favor, the attention and, in numer-
GUS instances, the reverence of a
great people.
In many respects the Inauguration
today was the largest. the most di-
versiiied and most interesting in his
tory. 1t drew more visitors to Wash
ington and was calculated to attract
more attention throughout the world
than any preceding ceremony of its
kind. 1t marked the end OF a nota-
BILE administration and the begin
ming of what many believe will be
an epoch-making era. 1t embraced
in one case the farewell and. in the
other, the welcome of the two men
whose popularity with the people of
the United States had been ratified
through the largest popular and cleo
toral votes in our history.
To attempt to tell wherein the in
auguration of 1903 differs from it's
predecessors is a task of impossible
proportions. so numerous and diverse
are the unique cnaracterlStlcS devised
by the ingenuity of committees
whose ambition it was to outstrip
what had been done before.
The three distinct events which go
to make an Inauguration, as the pub
lie views 1t, comprise the two cere-
monies at the capitol. the monster
parade and the inaugural ball The
formal ceremony does not permit
much deviation except in the central
figure. who is named by the people.
The committee this year, however.
found many ways to add charm to
the dignity and magnificence of the
occasion by the introduction of vari-
Gus surprises. These were exhibited
in the latitude given to the decora-
| tions and to the illuminations and
| fireworks arranged for the night eel
ebration. The ball and the pyro-
technical display at night formed a
| fitting climax of the day. Each was
unsurpassed in it's way, and each
drew its thousands of spectators and
participants. The City of the Poto-
mac has been turned into a realm of
light and life and color. It is en-
meshed in tangle of shields and fes-
toons and bunting.
The early morning peace was brok-
en- by the tap of drums echoing and
reechoing through the streets, the
tread of soldiers and the blare of
bands, and these scenes and sounds
were but the forerunners of many

more of the day and night. 1t was
the simple story that repeats itself
every four years; but there are al
ways countless thousands who never
md 1t old or tiresome. The attrac-
tion of marching organizations of
the nations finest, the states grand
est and the cities most magnificent,
which never pals, soon caused the
streets to become crowded. Lanes
of humanity formed the length of
pennsylvania avenue from the White
House to the capitol facade and
served to guide the way for the car
riages of special guests which moved
ahead of the parade.

Attractive Empire Combs,

Empire combs have come back with
the empire coiffures, and in Paris and
London there has been a rage for the
genuine combs OF the period very
high prices being paid in many cases
for the antiques. Even where the
stones used are not real gems. the de-
sign and workmanship often give real
value to these combs. but excellent re-
productions have been made from
many OF the most attractive empire
designs. and these will content the
woman who does not care to spend a
large sum upon an ornament which is
likely to be but a passing fad. Dealers
in antiques tell us, however. that they
have sold number of the genuine
old combs, chiefly in dull gilt and
pearls.-American Register, London.
