NEW PITCHER PUTS
NAME TO CONTRACT
b. n. Knox, a Fast Semi Professional
from Mississippi, VIII Try Out
With the Islanders.

A new pitcher, B. N. Knox. has
been added to the list of Islander
tryouts, his contract having been re-
ceived by Manager Jack Tighe yes
terday afternoon. Knox is a husky
young athlete, 20 years old, and
weighing 1874 pounds stripped. He
halls from Pontotoc, Miss, but at
present he is working out with Cum
berland university squad in Tonnes
see. He says in his letter which &C
comnanies his contract that he will
be in sfirst class condition when re-
porting time comes and that he has
fond hopes of winning regular
place on the Islander pitching staff.
Knox made an excellent record
last year in semi-professional ball in
Mississippi Out of % games in
which he worked in the box, he won
"a and in the four games he lost six
hits was the best the winners could
do, while one IF them was a one-hit
game and another a three-hit game.
Knox played for two years on the
university of Mississippi team. From
all accounts the new man is a clean
young fellow who looks not upon the
wine when it is red and who keeps
himself in condition all the time.

ACCEPT SCHEDULE
Rock Island Officials Vote
Would Probably Have
Been Favorable.
ONLY ONE OBJECTION TO 1T
Has Davenport and Locals at Home
at Same Time, Playing With
Dubuque and Waterloo.

Although the Rock Island club did
not get chance to voice its sentiments
in regard to the latest draft of the
schedule now in the hands of President
A. R, Tearney, it is very probable that
the vote would have been in favor of
adopting it just as it stands rather
than delaying matters longer by ask
ing for changes.
The schedule has been carefully ex-
amined and it was found that, except
for one feature, 1t was just what was
wanted and that 1t was perfectly fair
in every respect. The one objection to
it is that when the northern clubs are
playing among themselves, Davenport
and Rock Island are at home at the
same time, playing with Dubuque and
Waterloo, respectively. While this
was not exactly desirable, a change
might not have been any more so, as it
would have greatly increased the mile
age of the two visiting teams, and on
the whole the plan was probably for
the best.

The Argus: Regarding the article ap-
pearing in your issue of March 16:
Had No Voice in Schedule; Local
Baseball officials Fail to Receive Draft
Until After Vote; Lay in Local Post
Office would say that my mail was
held in the local postoff1ce according
to my instructions, owing to the fact
that | was in the east. Upon my re-
turn Monday morning, did not i'm
mediately go and get my mail, owing
to pressure of business. Therefore,
my mail did lie in the local postoffce,
and no official of the postoffice is in
any way to blame for the schedule in
question not being received by the
proper people. Yours truly,

RUSSIAN LION WINS
TWO STRAIGHT FALLS
Pins Jim Galvin's Shoulders to Mat
Despite Excellent Defense of
Tricky frishman.

Jim Calvin, the Irish wrestler who
at the Grand opera house, Davenport,
last evening, lost his match, but made
an excellent impression on account Of
the wonderful defensive tactics he fol-
lowed. He was kept on the run all the
time by Leon, who is far more skilled
as wrestler and much more powerful,
but the tricky Irishman made him go
some to get the money. Leon won
two straight falls, the first one in
271a minutes and the second in IA
minutes. Two preliminary events be-
tween Davenport wrestlers were pulled
off for the starters The crowd which
turned out was not as large as the
card justified, but it was an enthusi-
astic one.

To Stop a Cough in a
Hurry.

With this recipe you can
make a pint of cough remedy at
home in five minutes. A few
doses usually conquer the most
obstinate cough. Simple as it
is, no better remedy can be
had at any price.
Put 2 11ounces of Pinex $50
cents WORTH in a clean pint
bottle, and fill up with granu-
lated sugar syrup, made as fol-
lows: Take a pint of granulat-
ed sugar, add ~ pint of warm
water and stir for two minutes.
Take a teaspoonful every one,
two or three hours. The taste
is very Observation-Disclosures take
it willingly. Splendid, too. for
colds. chest pains, whooping
cough, bronchitis, ETC.
Granulated sugar makes the
best syrup. Pinex. as you prob
ably know, is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Nor
way white pine extract. None
of the weaker pine prepara-
lions will take its place. If
your druggist hasn't the real
Pinex. he can easily get it for
you.
Strained honey can be used
instead of the syrup, and makes
a very fine honey and pine tar

Billy Sunday I'm II.
Evangelist Billy Sunday, at one time
a member of the Chicago Cubs, for
years the worlds champions, will in
all probability assist at the opening

Hank O'Day will be in the city The,
plans as at present outlined, contem-
plate the working together of the min
lister and O'Day as umpires in the
game between the Cubs and the Speak

fact that not only Rev. Sunday, but
the local manager, Jack Mccarthy,
was member of the Windy City
champions.

Saws Mr.. Murphy.

In a recent interview, Tim Murphy
who will appear at the Illinois Sunday
night in Cupid and the Dollar dis
cussed the actors friendships as fol
lows:
Long experience in travel over the
same territory has cultivated more
and dearer personal friendships
than one, would gather in one spot,
because the field of opportunity is
larger and the test of separation makes
tine proof of fidelity sweeter. An actor
has two kinds of friends: His own
friends whom he knows by personal
contact on the non-professional side.
I.ut there are other aud vastly larger
plumber of those who ara friends of his
art, acquaintance of his characters.
Have the latter individuality across
the footlights to the player? Assured
