TWO MORE GAMES
TO FINISH TOURNEY
Leaders in Arcade Billiard Match
Are Tied and Each Has Another
Inning to Play.

Only two more games remain to be
played in the Arcade billiard tOurna-
ment, and they both have an important
bearing upon the final outcome. Charles
Roantree is to meet Lee Kaupke and
W. H. Toal meets Stephen Spencer be
fore the prizes can be awarded, and
even after these two games are played
the main prizes may be in doubt, as it
is possible for Roantree and Toal to
remain III p tie. provided both win or
both lose. Should one win his game
and the other lose the tournament will
be settled them and there in favor of
the one who is victorious III his final
came. Should both win or both lose
it Will be necessary for them 70 play
off the Tie with an extra game. Yes
terday Simon 600 defeated Mullane
t65) by a count Of 100 10 SIS. and Hayes
(T0) won from Cook 800 by a score Of
20 20 81. Cook, by his defeat. went &c
the bottom of the percentage column
to stay, he being the undisputed cellar
champion with a standing of III
points of one victory TO eight defeats.

FOOTBALL STILL
DANGEROUS GAME
Death List for Present Season D
Against 30 Last Year Under
Old Rules.

According to the Chicago Record
Herald's statistician there have been
% killed in football games or in
practice this season, with several
contests yet to be played. Last year
the total number of dead after the
season was over 80.
1t would seem from these figures
that the inaugur. ton of the new
rules had made the game approx
mately one-tkird less dangerous than
it was year ago. But compari-
son of the number of deaths in the
two years is not conclusive on this
point.
A compilation of the number of
injured this year shows a total of
499. Last year the number of in
jured was only 216. The number
of MANNED and bruised and broken
football players for the year 1910
exceeds by more than 100 the in
jured of any year since 1901.

MAUpE ADAMS AS SCOTCH LAssIE

For "meaty' dialogue the tri-
cities have seen nothing to excel
what Every Woman Knows pre-
sented by Maude Adams and her
very capable company at the Grand,
Davenport, Saturday evening. Scotch
dialect is used and the author, j.
NJ. Barrie. has made the most of his
opportunity in the delineation of the
Scotch character. Few words and
great deal of meaning between the
lines give the cast play for their
talents in Interpretation. OF course
Miss Adams is given the emotional
work in the part of Maggie Wylie,
a Scotch lass, who in the opening
acts is we'll past the age when, &C
cording to the customs of the coun-
trv, she should have been wire.

HONEY BOY MIMsTRELs.

George Evans will again be found
at the head of the Honey Boy min
strels when this organization is seen
at the Grand, Thanksgiving day,
matinee and night. The Honey
Boy has firmly established himself
throughout the country as the lead
ing minstrel star of America. When
Cohan & Harris took this vaudeville
favorite and placed him at the head
of their big minstrel show, they gave
their organization the Honey Boy
trade mark unconsciOusly and it now
sails under the flag. Evans has re-
tanned almost intact the fine enter
tainment and splendid cast of min
streI favorites seen about him last
year. John King, Sam Lee, Clar-
ence Marks. Tommy Hyde, Charles
billiard and Pierce Keegan lead the
funmakers, while Vaughn Comfort,
Matt Keefe, James Meehan, the
Irish tenor, Tom Kane, Wilson Mil
Ter and Master Leo Pagan are among
the vocalists. A special feature Of
the Ministries this year is the ap-
pearance Of James J. Corbett as in
terlocutor of the first part, and later
on in the program he tells his in
teresting story of the Jeffries-J ohm
son contest of last July. Corbett is
undoubtedly qualified to give an in
teresting talk on this famous con-
test. He explains much that has
never been printed.
