NEW OUTFIELDER
MANUSCH ARRIVES
Reports to Manager Tighe Yesterday
Callahan Due from Indian
apoIis This Evening.

George Manusch, the outfielder Sc
cured from Oakland in the Coast
league, reported yesterday for duty
and would have been ready to play
against Davenport had the weather
permitted. George looks as though he
has all the baseball in him that he is
credited with having. and he undoubt-
eddy makes a valuable acquisition to
the team.
Outfielder James Callahan telegraph
ed yesterday afternoon that he was
leaving for Rock Island from Indian
apolis and that he would be here to-
night When he arrives it seems prob
able the last of the recruits have been
called in. There will then be 81 men
left in the squad out of the 80 who
reported. OF the nine two were gone,
six were simply dropped and the other
three were sold. Manager Tighe drew
very few lemons in selecting his re-
cruits this season.

BILLY NEAL WINS
HIS FIRST GAME
Ex-IsIander Slabman Earns Praise at
New Orleans by Steady
Work.

Billy Neal won his first league game
for Mobile in the Southern league Fri
day when he defeated New Orleans by
a score of 4 to 8. The ex-Islander
twir1er let the Pelicans down with five
hits, all of them being scattered out
one to an inning. None of the losers
runs were earned. Regarding the maid
en- effort of Billy Neal the New Or
leans Picayune says: Never in hur-
ry, but hurting heady ball all along,
Pitcher Neal held the Pelicans down
yesterday while his teammates pluck
ed another game, 4 to g. Although the
pastime was one-sided for six innings,
it seemed that the locals were going
to make a garrison finish and fitch Neal
of the fruit. But the young slabman
kept his head, and excellent fielding
support saved him"
Which all goes to show that Rock Is
lands team and players last year were
not so far behind class A ball.

FANS ARE DISAPPOINTED.
Contest With Waterloo for Today Is
Also Cancelled, but Managers
Expect to Play Tomorrow.

Hundreds of Davenport baseball
fans breathed signs of relief upon
awakening yesterday morning to find
fullfedged snow storm in progress.
They had gone to sleep the night be-
fore thinking Of the prospects which
faced them on the morrow and they
dreamed all night that the Islanders
were beating them as in the days of
yore. Imagine their delight when they
awoke and found it was all dream
and that Manager Tighe and his re-
cruits would have to make their feast
on something more substantial than
PretZels
The snow storm and generally IN
pleasant weather which prevailed Sun
day robbed the local association Of con-
siderable money, as a large crowd
would have turned out to see the first
clash between the old-time rivals on
the diamond. Both teams were ready
and fit for the fray and a good game
would have resulted undoubtedly had
not old King Boreas taken it into his
head to make a rather belated trip to-
wards the region of summer.
May Make Up Game.
The two teams are scheduled to
meet again next Sunday in Davenport,
and after that they will not clash until
the opening of the regular league
schedule. The local association has no
game scheduled for next Saturday, how
ever, and if arrangements can be made
with Davenport the latter team will
play off yesterdays postponed game on
that date, as otherwise the Prodigals
will not be seen in this city during the
preliminary season. Both associations
have in the past depended considera-
bly, upon the revenue derived from the
ante-season games to pay for the train
ing expenses of their teams. and the
fact that there were only two games
scheduled for this year made good
crowds at both of them almost impera-
tive.
Waterloo Here Tomorrow.
On account of the condition of the
grounds following yesterdays storm,
Manager Tighe decided that there could
be no game today, and accordingly the
contest scheduled with Waterloo was
cancelled. Manager Boyle's aggrega-
tion will be here tomorrow, however,
if the weather does not interfere again,
and the fans will get a chance to see
the leagues infants in action. The
Boosters apparently have a pretty fast
aggregation and they will make the
Islanders hustle to bet them.

MTNTYRE AND HEATH.

The entrance of Mcintyre and
Heath, whose 35 years of laugh max
ing here made their names known in
every American city will undoubted-
ly be welcomed by the many theatre
goers at the Grand. Davenport, to-
morrow evening. Klaw & Erlanger
are said to have given them a great
and brilliant setting for their story
of two human and whimsical dark
les who become entangled in a Hay
tian revolution melted by a couple
of northern financiers. Mcintyre and
Heath have never done anything fun
nier. The picture of the ignorant
and grotesquely suspicious 'cullud
man. who becomes president of
Hayti only to have the dignity of
Office rudely snatched away from him
as he is for the first time realizing
his power and attempting to punish
those who have imposed upon him,
and his treasurer who considers his
main duty is to keep the treasury
so empty that it will not be a burden
on him, is one that should give these
stars the best possible opportunities
for the display of the really artistic
delineations of the funniest of ne
groes. interviewer in the story, a
theatrical troupe finds it's invasion
of Hayti only profitable when it's
members turn soldiers; the two pairs
of lovers can gain parental approval
only when the battles are over; the
financiers legitimately struggle for
supremacy until the cheerful end,

denouement John ]. McNally is said
to have provided more consistent
plot than in any previous offering
Mcintyre and Heath have had.

TOM MARSHALL WILL AID

Former Winner OF Grand American
Handicap to Assist in Promoting
Gun Clubs in Illinois.

Chicago, April 1S.-Tom A. Marshall,
former mayor of Keithsburg, the only
man who twice won the Grand Amer
lean handicap, has located in Chicago,
having for his special mission the pro-
motion of gun clubs in the state of
Illinois. Mr.. Marshall. who is now a
professional representing a cartridge
and an arms company, has been in
trusted by these companies with the
work of assisting in the encourage
ment of trap shooting and in working
on a plan of organization similar to
that used by the baseball promoters
in the early days. the idea being first
to form clubs and then organize them
into sectional leagues.

TOM LOTUS DEAD
Former President of Three Eye
League Succumbs to Can
Ger of Throat.
WAS BIG MAN IN BASEBALL
Made Name for Himself as Manager
of the Leading Teams of
Few Years Ago.

Tom LOTUS is dead After weeks
of suffering with cancer of the throat
the end came Saturday afternoon at
his home in Dubuque. His condition
had been such for some time that his
friends realized that it was only a
question Of time.
Tom j. Lotus was one of the big
baseball men of the country. He had
been in baseball since he was little
more than a boy, starting as a player
in Dubuque, and afterwards on the
league team. Once in the professional
game his rise in baseball was rapid,
and eventually he became the greatest
manager the game has known. He was
successfully at the head of the St
Louis, Milwaukee, Cleveland. Cincin-
natl, Chicago and Washington clubs,
and has contributed more towards the
probably any other one man in Amer
lea.
President of Three-Eye.
LOTUS was elected to the presidency
of the Three-Eye league two years ago,
some time after he had retired from
baseball. His selection came at the
end of a stormy meeting in Chicago,
when the representatives of the vari-
Gus clubs in the league had been in I'M
broken deadlock for hours. Dubuque
mentioned Lotus as a compromise
candidate. He was communicated
with by telephone at Dubuque, and
consented in the interest of harmony
to accept the place for one term. Lof-
tus was a busy man, and he did not
have much time at that time to devote
to baseball Yet he conducted the
affairs of the Three-Eye league in
highly satisfactory manner, but insist
ed upon retiring at the end of the year.
Friend of COmiskey.
While a close acquaintance of all
the big league men in the country, it
was between LOTUS and Comiskey,
the owner of the Chicago White SoX,
that the closest band of friendship
existed. The two men for years have
taken long hunting trips together each
summer, most of the time on board
Comiskey's private yacht, which
usually tied up in Dubuque, where it
was under LOTUS care.
Lotus was aged 81 years, and had
been a citizen of Dubuque all his life.
He was in business there since re-
firing from baseball up to year ago,
and owns considerable property in
that city and elsewhere.
