Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-09-21

Rock Island never had a better
booster than Jack Tighe, manager of
the Islanders, runners-up in this years
Three-Eye league race Twice he has
landed remnants in the three full sea-
sons he has been at the head of the
Islander squad, and the third time he
has been prevented only by the weak
ness Of his team at short during the
early part Of the season. Under such
circumstances it is gratifying to know
that plans are being laid which may
result in his entering business here
and becoming a permanent resident Of
the city.
They all have to give 1t to Tighe, de-
spite the disposition in some quarters
to criticise his methods on the field
OF battle. During ball game even at
that, he simply shows the same spirit
that good attorney manifests in fight
ing a case through the courts, and his
aggressfveness springs purely from the
desire to win. He is not revengeful
and spiteful and does not stoop to IN
sportsman like conduct to accomplish
victory, and when the game is over he
retains no personal feeling against his
late antagonist. Never has he done
more effective work than this year.
when, with a team that never batted
or f1elded above sixth in the league he
made strong bid for the pennant and
he is the only one ir the city who is
not satisfied with the showing he
made, for his sole ambition wasN to
land on top.
Tighe will be welcomed as a perma
nent resident of the city, and unless
he secures a place in a bigger league
everybody hopes he will be engaged
to lead the Islanders in 1911.

MAJESTIC, CHICAGO.

More Bayes and Jack Norworth,
easily the most distinguished and pop,
ular Of entertainers in vaudeville at
the present time, will be the headlin-
ers at the Majestic theatre, Chicago,
for the week of Sept. 26th. After be-
ing the star features of dozen big
productions they have been tempted
into vaudeville by the largest honorar-
ium ever paid a team in this line Of
work and they are undoubtedly worth
the money since their act exhibits re-
markable talent and is full OF those
clever features So much relished by
refined audiences. Aside from this ex-
traordinary attraction, the Majestic
bill will include some of the most i'm
portant acts now current in vaudeville.
Bird Millman, the most beautiful and
wonderful OF wire artists. will appear
in her company. Cruber's animals, in
Guiding elephant, ponies and dogs, will
contribute an act of extraordinary in
terest, and Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Bar
~, the renowned farceurs, will pre-
sent a character comedy full Of fun
and genuine entertainment. Carson &
Willard, the German dialect comedians,
are always sure-f1re funmakers, with
their disjointed language, and they
come with the promise OF new ma
terial and fresh jokes. Burnes & Full
ton are singing and dancing comedians
of high rank, and Diero, with his piano
concertina, and the famed Victoria
Four. with their brilliant songs will
add musical variety.
