Musical plays are so numerous
nowadays says Charles 3. DiIlng-
ham, that the field is overcrowded.
This ;act, and the increasing lavish
ness demanded by the public from the

brought about q condition which
makes it possible for a manager at
present to lose as much money with a
success as he used to lose with fail
ure.

No Manager Selected.
Although the question of a manager
for the team next year was discussed
at considerable length, no action was
taken in the matter, as it was thought
best to leave this selection to the new
board of directors. 1t was apparent,
however. that the stockholders were

for manager, although there was no
lack of harmony at any stage Of the
meeting. Some favored q playing

whole question was put up to the

DAVENPORT WANTS
O'LEARY AS MANAGER
Rumor Coming from Across Creek Is
to That Eject and 1t Is Not
Denied by Authorities.

According TO rumors coming from
Davenport. the owners of the Daven-
port baseball club are making desper-
ate efforts 10 secure the services of
Dan OLeary the Islander catcher. as
the manager of the Prodigals during
the coming season. In view of the
fact that efforts had been made to
get Jack Tighe away from Rock Is
land, it is not surprising that efforts
are Tow being made to get O'Leary
and it merely illustrates how Daven-
port depends on Rock Island for its
BASEBALL material, and how, despite
the abuse which was heaped upon
Tighc, OLeary, and practically every
other man on the Islander team, be-
hind it all nevertheless there is a
powerful respect for the prowess and
ability of the Islander players. The
runner is not confirmed by the author

strengthened by the statement that a

OIeary from another club not far
