SAND COMPANY
IS GIVEN GRANT
Council Votes 15-Year Fran
chise for Use of Block of
the River Front.
ALL CONDITIONS ARE MET
Riprap Wall and Equipment to Cost
Between $4,000 and $4,000
1t Is Announced.
ALL CONDITIONS ARE MET

Fifteen years finally was fixed by
the city council at its meeting last ev-
ening as the life, of the grant to the
Rock Island Sand & Gravel company
for the use of the Ievee between Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets, and on
this basis the ordinance was passed.
The company agrees to make an in
vestment OF between $4,000 and $50,
600 in the building of a rip-rap wall
and equipment and tracks, the latter
to be employed in the transferring to
and from steamers and railroad cars of
sand, coal and all classes of freight.
The east half Of the leYee is to be re-
served for the exclusive use of the
company in the carrying on of its sand
and gravel business, and at that point
its barges, now moored between Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth streets. are
to be stationed. The west half OF the
frontage is to be reserved for the pub
lie, or such other river craft as may
desire to use 1t during the navigation
season. The company, however, will
make a uniform charge of not to ex-
coed 20 cents a ton for the handling
of freight with its locomotive crane.
The two tracks that are to be installed
to make the improved levee accessible
to railroad cars are to be open at all
times to the use, free of charge, Of
other concerns dealing in coal OF other
freight, with the exception OF sand and
gravel. In the handling Of the latter
the company's right is exclusive. A
rental Of 5000 per year is to be paid
the city for the grant. 20
Objections Are Overcome.
The ordinance, in it's adopted form,
meets all Of the demands OF the obj
jectors thereto. One OF these was that
the city be not obligated, as proposed
in the original draft, to reimburse the
company for its first investment. In
the event that the grant be terminated
In the 18th year. The directors main
tanned that the company was receiving
a valuable concession from the city, IN
the 16-year grant, and should be will
ing to turn over the rip-rap wall on
the expiration of the ordinance, as
there would be no further use for It
by the company, the latter, of course,
to be allowed to retain possession of
its locomotive crane
hC ICdI SIludlIOH WIN reference TO
the piece Of levee Involved is that it
is now controlled by the Rock Island
road, under an ordinance secured by
the Rock Island & Peoria in 1900 for
a period Of 25 years. Thus the Rock
Islands ordinance remains in force Is
years, or until 1925. The railroad has
consented to the transfer of its levee
concession to the Rock Island Sand &
Gravel company. Thus the Rock Is
land Sand & Gravel company conces-
sion conforms identically to that held
by the Rock Island road.
Promises Attractive Improvement.
The Rock Island Sand & Gravel COM
pany promises an attractive improve
ment and one that will add to the i'm
portance of the city as a sand and

City Attorney J. F. Witter at the meet
ing last evening that the ordinance
here should not be passed until it was
known what the cities of Davenport
and Moline were to do with their ordL

neighbors might do. He plainly indi-
Gated that he was opposed to placing
legal obstacles in the way of the pas
sage of the ordinance. He believed IA

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY j. ED GRILLo.

In refusing to receive John L. Sullivan
at his training camp Jim Jeffries has not
taken an unexpected stand. Though Sui
Ivan denies ever having uttered anything
detrimental TO the former champion or
his match with Jack Johnson, Yet there
is no question that the public has been
led to believe that such was Sullivan's
opinion.
For nearly a year Sullivan has been
credited with innumerable attacks on
the fight, yet he has never made any eff
fort to deny these until he found himself
barred from Jeffries' camp.
IL may be news to Sullivan, but he has
for some time been charged with being q
''knocker,' and his popularity has suf-
Tered as a result. Jeffries Is a man Of
strong likes and dislikes- He thinks he
has reasons for not liking Sullivan be-
cause of the many utteranceS credited to
the latter. and he does not hesitate to let
sullivan know just how he feels about
him This is characteristic of Jeffries.
There Is no sham about the big fellow.
He always says what he thinks. Some
willing to overlook Sullivan's attitude
toward the fight as a matter of policy.
nut not Jeffries. He has his own ideas
and he cannot be changed.
Notwithstanding Sullivan's denials.
there are reasons for believing that the
the coming fight which he could not
prove He has perhaps done this to keep
himself in the lime1ight. Sullivan has
always been well treated by the pugilistic
profession: He owes much to the game,
and II Ill becomes him ever to have done
anything but take fair view of any
thing connected with il.
Sullivan. like any other man. Is entitled

in which the Diamond Athletic Club de-
ifeated his team, IA to IS. He claims
game should have been called at the end
of the seventh inning. Had this been
done his team would have won by The
score Of IL to II, as the Diamonds got
their winning TALES in the eighth. To
the man on the fence it Is not seen why
this protest should even be considered.
The official league umpire was in charge

ment, it was light enough to play. that

Manager II. f. Sengstack has signed
up two more pitchers for the Diamond

School and Commerce and Labor teams,
and Quigley, who is now shooting them

Today's game-st. Paul VS.. st. Martins.
The Manhattans by sheer luck tied the
Twinings. g to g. yesterday after the lat
ter had decisively beaten them, and saved
themselves from dropping out of first
place The WINNINGS got the comfortable
lead of six runs in the first three in
nings through the wildness of Rawlings.
and after that they failed to score. In
the sixth the Manhattans got their first
runs by bunting; in the seventh they
tried the same. but failed: in the eighth
the Twinings went up completely in the
air and the Manhattans off OF two errors
saved themselves from defeat.
IT looked as though after their grand
rally in the first half of the eighth the
Manhattans would still meet defeat. Joe
Geible. the first man up on the Twining
side, caught one Of Rawlings benders on
the nose and the sphere sailed to left
field. 1t was an easy three-bagger;
HaisIip went after 1t like mad man and
recovered 1t as Geible was rounding
third; by a miraculous throw the big left
fielder succeeded In getting the ball to
the infleld. and assisted by Rawlings,
got the runner as he slid into home.

yesterday putting Dampier In second.
where he played stellar game. Chucky
could solve Engle's benders, and he sue

One of the surprises of the day was the
moor showing of Gardiner White of Oak

going out in AZ in the morning, showed
clearly that he was decidedly off his game.
He returned 81 for the round. After
hopelessly fioundering around In the after

Travers gave early indications of leading
the field, thanks to fine "A. He attrib-
uteti his smooth play to advice received
the day before from Alec Smith at Wyka-

to see Travers make swing TO detect the
faults and he soon set him right. Some
