FAMINE FOR FANS
Weather Fixes It so Islanders
and Prodigals Can't Have
Preseason Meeting.
Is ALL OFF UNTIL MAY a.
Famed Cuban Giants Are on Hand
Waiting Rise in Temperature to
Play Rock Island Team.

Fate, in the form of unruly weather,
decreed that the Islanders and the
Prodigals are not to meet until the
regular season commences. Three
dicerent dates on which they were
scheduled TO play against each other
had to be passed u because of wintry
blasts which would not only keep the
fans away from the park but which
actually made diamond performances
impossible.
Both associations have suffered con-
siderable loss on account of the failure
to play these games. as the receipts
from them would have been large. A
game was to have been played in this
city Saturday and the two aggrega-
lions were to have met again IN Daven-
port yesterday, but now there will be
no meeting until May 4, at which time
Rock Island opens the league season
across the river If one wanted to be
mean he would say it will probably
rain or snow on that day also, but if
it does there are two days to follow
and the teams are bound to mix on
one of these occasions.
Games for This Week.
There are good games galore for
this week The Cuban Giants, cham
pions OF Cuba. are here for today and
tomorrow, sitting round the radiators
and hoping for chance to play The
visit of the Stars gives Rock Islanders
a glimpse at some of the most remark
able ball players in the world. fellows
who would be gracing big league teams
if their faces we're white. Luis Bust
mantle, captain and shortstop of the
Stars, is regarded by many as being
the greatest ball player in the world,
not even barring Hans Wagner and
Ty Cobb. Muscatine's new Northern
association team is due here Wednes-
day and Thursday. and Jacksonville
is scheduled for Friday. Clinton. with
Ted Sullivan in command, is due here
Saturday. and with Kankakee Sunday
and Duluth Monday and Tuesday the
training season will be completed and
actual league games commence.

Springfield Baseball Boss Head
of Movement to Enter the
Central League.
AND TAKE PEORIA ALONG
Manager of Terre Haute Club Dis
cusses Matter With Dick at
Conference at Capital.

A Springfield dispatch says: Spring
fields dropping of the Three-Eye
league and the entrance of this city
and Peoria into the Central league was
a matter discussed yesterday afternoon
in the course of a conference IN the
St. Nicholas hotel between Magnate
Kinsella of this city and Manager
Groeschow of Terre Haute.
For years the Central league has
been seeking Springfield and Peoria.
All franchises of the Three-Eye league
will expire at the end of 1910 by vir-
tue of resolution at the last Chicago
meeting. Kinsella fostered the reso-
luton and who knows but what this
was the start of his scheme to get
into the organization where the towns
are more nearly the size of Springfield.
KinseIIa f. Mum.
Mr. Kinsella said nothing as to the
matter, but Manager Groeschow said it
had been under discussion. Only the
fact that Sexton let Kinsella play in
1909 without signing the $1,000 indi-
vidUal salary clause, etc, prevented a
rupture in the Three-Eye league cir
cles Kinsella is friendly with nearly
all of the Central league managers
and they have been flirting with the
local baseball boss for some years.

comedies introduced and produced
through the medium of the LaSalle
theatre, Chicago, dropped into Rock
Island yesterday, playing afternoon
and evening at the Illinois, where
there were two large audiences. Mort
Singer, who controls the production,
is the manager of two theatres in
Chicago serving this class of lighter
entertainment Mr.. Singer is one of
the few managers who have not made
the error of trying to force the
amusement loving public to buy
something that it did not want. He
keeps his hand and his ear constantly
close to the public pulse. He has
given us several catchy, sing-song
whistleable comedies in the past few
years. and all have succeeded from
a box office standpoint. The Flirt-
ing Princess does not depart not
iceably from the groove followed by
the authors of this style of amuse-
ment. While the title suggests the
character of comedy that one might
expect to predominant the perform
ance, in it's original form the play
had crude portions that taxed the
genius of the management in smooth
ing over and filling. While the me-
chanics did well, yet THE Flirting
Princess" as a song play. is not up
to the LaSalle standard, although it
must be admitted that Mr.. Singer
has spared no effort in seeking to
make it high class entertainment.
"The Princess" in reality is saved by
two sensational dances, The YAM
pire" and The Apache" artistically
executed by Joseph c. Smith, who
has Miss Vera Michelena as his as

sistant in the former, and Miss Adele

sistant in the former, and Miss Adele
Rowland in the latter. The Vampire
dance is based on the Kipling poem.
It is introduced at the close of the
first act of the comedy and is most
effectively done, alternately thrilling
and repulsing the auditor. The
Apache dance, presented in the sec
ond act, seemingly brutal, is prob
ably as picturesque bit of terpsichore
ever witnessed on a local stage. AS
for the play as a whole, perusal of
the we'll known names in the cast of
characters is sufficient proof that it
was enjoyable, for there would have
to be far more inferior material to
make possible a failure in the hands
of such competent performers. The
chorus is large, youthful. pretty and
well dressed, and the staging is COM
plete and elaborate. The play is to
be given this evening at the Moline,
in Moline. and doubtless many will
attend from this city.

A baseball team without a nickname
would be in about the same class as
an automobile without a spark plug
At any rate such seems to be the opin-

ready they have dragged from their
hiding places a number of appellations
for the local team. Following is a list
of the nicknames for the various clubs
of the Three-Eye:
Dubuque-Dubs or Miners
DavenpoTt-Prodiga
Embellishments or Speakers.
Peoria-Distillers or Romantics.

Black Champion Has Busy Day at
Omaha on Trip to Battlefield.
Omaha, April 25.-Jack Johnson has
come and gone. He and his party left
for the west yesterday. Johnson has
left behind him the impression among
the white people that unless he chang
es his habits and gets down to work
shortly he will not be in the same
class with Jeffries when the two enter
the ring. All but the special admirers
of Johnson insist that the negro is so
fat that he will not be able to train
down within the time. Then, too. he
is soft and flabby and his wind is bad.
After giving his exhibition here, which
consisted of a couple of rounds Of
tame boxing, he was putting and
wheeling like a porpoise.
