BL0OMERS WILL MIX
TOMORROW NIGHT
TWO GIRLS BASKETBALL,
TEAMS WILL PLAY
Goods of High school and Academy
viii Meet TO Decide City Cham
pionship-Both Teams Have En-
yiable Records,

More interest is being manifested
in the girls basketball game which
is to be played in the high school
gymnasium tomorrow evening, than
in any other similar contest of the
year. This struggle will be for the
city championship and will be between
the teams of the high school and
academy.
Both teams have practically un-
broken records for the season and
both are anxious to win the cham
pionship of the city. In the past the
high school girls have had things their
own way, but for the first time in the
history of the institution the Pendle-
ton academy has turned out a girls
team which has demonstrated its abil-
ity to play in any company. On its
recent tour of the Grand Ronde val
ley it made clean sweep, while its
only defeat was suffered at the hands
of a team which would play only un-
der boys rules
But for their single defeat in
Walla Walla the local high school
girls have not met defeat this season.
That game would not have been lost
but for the fact that only three of the
regular players were in the lineup.
The team has been so unfortunate
this year that tomorrow nights con-
test will be the only one in which the
entire first team lineup has partici-
pated.
The lineup will be as follows: Ha-
zel RAIDER and Laura Mckee, for
wards; Lucille RAIDER and Blanche
Bailey. centers; Ella Lazinka and
Grace Bean, guards.

by E. NJ. Bowlby, II; B. F. Newman.
10; Ralph J. Rosenthal. ~. and B.
I. Bell. OF, has been selected as the
show to be produced by the Black
friars this spring. Two other shows
were submitted. The main consid
erations which moved the selection of
'Suffragctte Chicago were, first, the
great superiority of the music; sec
ond, the fact that it was a college
show full of college atmosphere,
which was introduced into the show
without any artiflcialty, and, third,
the fact that the idea upon which the
plot is based is entirely novel to
Blackfriar shows, since it is different
from the sameness of plot and con-
struction that has prevailed in the
Friar shows for the past four years.
Mr. Bowlby. the composer of the
music of the opera, is the son of Pro-
fessor and Mrs. S. T. Bowlby of Rock
Island He is well known as the &C
companist of the University Glee
club He has written the music for
several other operas submitted in
competitions at the university.

the Indictment was found attorneys
for Klaw & Erlanger moved to quash
the indictments against this firm.
Judge Rosalsky granted the motion
and it is likely the same course will
be pursued in the case of Mr.. Frohman.

Gus ENC IS SOLD
Rock Island Backstop Goes to
Burlington in Central As
ISOLATION.
WILL BE REGULAR CATCHER
Would Not Have Had Chance to De-
velop Here in View of Securing
Services of Dan O'Leary.

Catcher Gus Eng ceased to be an
Islander today when Manager Tighe
closed a deal with the Burlington team
in the Central association by which
the gingery catcher became the prop
erty of the latter club. The Central
team made n cash offer for him and
Il was accepted.
This deal followed various rumors
which had Gus chasing from one club
to another all over the country Eng
broke into professional ball with the
Islanders several years ago and has
been one of their valued men ever
since, and there will be many who will
dislike seeing him depart, as he was
very popular here. In justice to him,
however, Manager Tighe felt called
upon to send him to some other town
where his ability could be made better
use of. With Dan O'Leary on the Is
lander pay roll, it seems probable that
there will be little use for a change
catch of Eng's calibre, and to keep
him would mean merely to let him be-
come rusty from lack of work. If Civ
en- a chance to play every day in a
regular position, T1ghe feels convinced
that Gus will make a man worthy of
faster than class B company, and for
this reason as much as any other the
manager has been looking for a chance
to sell Eng to team where he can
develop himself.
Leaves Two In Field.
The sale of Eng leaves two in the
field for the position of change catcher
and general utility man. Big Bill ia
cobsen, who served as utility man last
year. and Red Fisher, the Buffalo boy
mentioned in The Argus last evening,
are the ones who will probably fight it
out Both have the goods and both
mean to land the job if possible. With
O'Leary as regular man and Fisher and
Jacobsen to choose the other catcher
from, the Islander backstop post is
well taken care Of

New Foundation for Clubhouse of
Island City Boating Association.
1t was decided at a meeting of the
Island City Boating association held
last evening to move the club house
further out into the river than it is
at present. and also to fill up the bank
at the site of the clubhouse so as TO
make the surroundings more attractive.
At present the clubhouse is within
few feet of the railroad tracks. and
when a train passes it causes the
structure to shake to its very founda-
tons.
Plans were also consummated last
evening for removing the house from
the path of the ice when the river
breaks up. Arrangements with a house
mover were completed by the manaE-
eTs of the club several days ago, and
were ratified by the members last
evening. The house is to be moved
south of the railroad tracks until the
ice goes out, and then a new founda-
ton will be built for it, and it will
be moved out to its regular place again
The application of George Wagner
for membership in the club was ac-
cepted last evening, and Mr.. Wagner
became a member. After the business
meeting luncheon was served.

SECURE new toes
Full Outfits of Sweaters and
Stockings for Members of
Local Ball Team.
CHANGE IN THE CoLoRs
Two Sets of Uniforms for Use at
Home and on Road Are to Be
Purchased.

Tx islanders will not look quite ia
nj saE a time this spring on &C
C Ia slight change which has
in their uniforms. AS a
ae visit here yesterday of
Che lfr of Indianapolis, two sets
of stockings were purchased to re-
place the black ones used heretofore.
One set of the new socks will be worn
at home and the other set will be used
on the road The at home socks are
white with a four-inch black strip
through the center and the road socks
are gray with the four-inch strip of
black.
The black and white stockings will
go well with the home suits of white
with black trimmings, and the others
will match the road uniforms of gray
and white.
Get New Sweaters.
Sweater coats for the entire team
were also purchased from Carr. The
new coats will be gray with black
trimmings and a monogram on the left
breast. They are a little out of the
use of baseball teams. The ordinary
sweater coats are just little too short
for the average ball player, giving
him the appearance of a football rath-
er than a baseball performer. Carr's
sweater coats are four inches longer
than the usual, and have a collar such
as will appeal to baseball players, as
it can be used either turned up or
turned down, according to the weather.
Two new sets of uniforms will have
to be secured by the club this year.
and they will probably be bought from
Spalding & Co. The same style and
color of suits used last year will be
used again this year. that is, white
trimmed with black for the home SER
les and the gray trimmed with black
for the road series.
