FOR
BERTHS ON TEAM
Promising Array of Baseball
Timber From Which Tighe
Is to Choose.
SOME HAVE GOOD RECORDS
Only Four of Old Faces Are Retained
as Candidates for Club That Is
to Represent City.

Manager Jack Tighe has the names
of 81 players down on his list of can
didates for this years Rock Island
baseball team, and from the records Of
the different men it seems an assured
fact that the city will be represented
by another successful aggregation, if,
in fact, not a pennant-winning club.
Tighe has good men for every posi-
ton and it is going TO be real enjoy
ment to pick out the best from the
bunch and keep them. while the re-
leasing of some of the good ones who
will have to go will occasion regret
Tighe's list contains three catchers,
ten infielders, eight outfielders ana
ten pitchers. Nothing need be said
in regard to Dan O'Leary and Gus
Eng as to their ability as catchers.
The new man in this department. is
Fred Fisher of Buffalo, n. Y. He IS
a youngster who stands six feet two
inches and who has the reputation nf
being a fast catcher as we'll as a hard
hitter
InheiderS Galore.
With two and maybe three of last
years champion infielders to replace,
Tighe and the fans have been some
what worried. but there seems to be
no cause for further uneasiness. Tighe
has secured the signatures of ten in
feeders whose records speak for them
selves. In addition to Harry Kelley
and Otto Vogel. from last years team,
both of whom are among the ve-y
best in the league. there are eight
other good men. For first base there
are ]. P. Slattery, st. Louis. a six
footer. who hits and throws left hand
ed; Robert GOrron. Buffalo. n Y, an
other siX-footer. who uses the south
wing for hurting and stands on the
wrong side of the plate, and c. \.
Todd, Billings Mont. Todd bats left
handed but fields with his right. As
candidates for the infield there are
Jim Davey of Troy, y. Y, drafted from
Mansfield, Ohio; Eddie Kohl of the
Duluth champions of last season. who
was drafted by st. Paul and purchased
from that club by Tighe: Mike Gal
lagher. Billings, Mont; Elmer Ora
ham. Hastings, Mich, and Ernest
Woods, Buffalo. y. Y.

outheId to BE strong.

It was generally conceded that Rock
Island had the best outfield in the
league last year by all odds and there
was general sorrow felt among the
fans when all the gardeners were
drafted into higher company at the
close of the season. 1t begins to look,
however. as if their successors are 20
win some laurels for themselves. IS
Tighe has secured a bunch of outfield-
ers with some remarkably good rec
Ords. and if they live up to expecta-
tions the Islanders will again have the
best outfield in the league. There are
E. o. McIver of Mobile, for whom
Swacina was traded; Fred Ochs. pur-
chased from Norfolk, Va; William
Hunter secured from Charlotte. S. C:
E. c. Thomas of Danville. Va. who
comes on the recommendation of Pres
ident Navin of the Detroit Tigers; Roy
Kynett of Hastings. Mich; William
Jacobsen, last years utility man. and
Ed Mcdonald of Detroit The latter
accepted terms with Tighe last month
and since then has signed with Balti-
more, but Secretary Farrell has as
sured the local manager that McDon-
aid belongs here.

Plenty of Renvers.

Manager Tighe is Immensely pleased
with the outlay of pitchers whose
names he has secured to contracts and
he promises to have as good, if not
better pitching staff than he had last
season. In all probability Frank La
kaff will be the only one from last
years team who will be on the job
again, but there are a lot of new men
who apparently have the goods.
Among these are the following: Pug
Cavett. Vanyon City. Texas, purchased
from Detroit; Walter Queisser In
dianapoils; Marshall Comingor, Dan
vile. Ind; Grover Engman, last year
with Cedar Rapids; Pete Janicki,
Cleveland. Ohio; R. G.. Pickering, Ne
braska Indians; Harle 2. Wagner, St.
Louis; Clyde c. Brosins, last year
with Chillicothe. Mo, and Perky Blen-
ner.
Of this bunch the following are left
handlers: Lakaff, Cavett, Janicki and
Pickering.
Regrets for Stark.
The announcement that in all proba-
bility Claude Stark will not be on the
team this year has occasioned consid-
cradle regret among the Island City
fans Claude's recognized ability as
a ball player and his good naSured
temperament and faculty for keeping
the team and the spectators in good
humor under any circumstances made
him favorite with everybody and he
was undoubtedly the most popular ball
player that ever wore the Islander uni
form. 1t seems to be an assured fact
that he will play with Hartford in the
Connecticut league this year, as the
management there has made Manager
Tighe a good offer for him.

After German Farmers.

Wellington-When G. w. Fink
bought the Mitchell 30 acres south Of
the Santa Fe and west of Blaine
street, for a truck farm and small
fruit and stock raising ground, he had
Gus Hamel, the real estate agent, ad-
vertise in German paper for man
and woman to take care of it. There
was large number of replies and Mr..
Hamel conceived the idea of getting
some of them answering the ad to
take farms in the vicinity of Yelling
ton, many of which are not being
worked.
He talked the matter over with Mr.
Fink and at the last meeting of the
Commercial club, Mr.. Fink's replies
were shown. All were from Germans
who stated that they would like ito
come here and take the Fink place.
The Commercial club took up with
the idea of Mr.. Hamel's and will
make an effort to have farm owners
in the vicinity Of Wellington, who do
not live on their land or are not work
ing it, to list it, state what improve
ments there are on 1t, and let Ger
mans have a chance to come here as
renters. No more valuable citizens
could be secured. They are thrifty,
frugal and Industrious. They have
families and are of religious turn.
President Gambrill will appoint a
committee to take up the proposition
with the farm owners of the vicinity.

PHYSICIANS OF
OMAHA DISAGREE
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON COOP
ER's REMARKABLE SUCCESS
HELD BY MEDICAL MEN OF
NEBRASKA METROPOLIS.

Omaha. Neb., Feb 16.-The aston
lshing sale of Cooper's preparations IN
this city has now reached such i'm
mense figures that the medical frater-
nifty at large have become forced into
omen discussion of the man and his
preparations.
The physicians as whole seem 10
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in Omaha-some be-
ing willing to credit him for what ne
has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused Is
hit a passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out as quickly as
it has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions Is
very we'll voiced in the statements
made recently by two of a number OF
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject. "a -
DR.. ]. E. Carass when questioned
about the matter said: 81. have not
been a believer in proprietary prepa-
rations heretofore, nor can l say that
believe in them at present. But
must admit that some of the facts re-
Gently brought to my notice concern
ing this man Cooper have gone far
towards removing the prejudice mad
formed against him when the I'M
heard-of demand for his preparations
first sprang up in this city. Numbers
of nv patients whom l have treated
for chronic liver, kidney and stomach
troubles have met me after taxing
Cooper's remedy and have stated
positively that he has accomplished
wonderful results for them. | notice
particularly in cases of stomach trou-
BILE that the man has relieved several
cases of years standing that proved
very obstinate to treatment.
81 am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice, and
| am inclined to give Cooper and his
preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
ton that has been accorded them in
this city"
Another well known physician who
was seen took the opposite view OF
the "Cooper-mania," as he called it,
which now has this city in its grip
He said: 81 can only liken the present
state of affairs to a certain kind of
hallucination. For want of a better
name, might call it 'Cooper-mania.'
The people of Omaha seem to be
firm in the belief that this man Cooper
has health corked up in bottle.
Some of them imagine that he has
completely cured them of various ills,
Judging from their statements. 1t is
beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. 1t may he
safely put down, | think, to one OF
the passing fads that so often attack
the American public.
Sooner or later the people are
bound to regain their senses and will
then realize that the reputable physi-
clan is the one to whom their health
had best be entrusted"
In the meantime Cooper meets sew
eral thousand people daily, and only
smiles when statements of the above
character are quoted to him.
