Christy Wilson, the star of the ISL
ander pitching staff for the last five
years, leaves Tuesday for Providence,
R. l., where he is booked to play this
year. Chris was drafted from the ISL
anders at the close of the last season
after numerous scouts had watched
him work with an idea of taking him
into faster company. To say that,
Chris deserved to go is putting 1t mild
ly. The truth was that he might have
gone up several years ago had it not
been that he was immensely pleased
with Rock Island, his home city, and
had no desire to go away, even If it did
mean considerably more money. The
draft of Providence left him no choice.

FLAMES REDUCE
5000 TONS OF ICE
Four of the Houses of Channel
Company in Moline De-
stroyed.
BELIEVE INCENDIARY WORK
Money Loss Is $4,000, Representing
Half of the Crop Harvested
During the Season.

Nine thousand tons of ice were re-
duced to water in fire that destroy
ed four of the six houses of the Chan
mel Ice company, fronting on the riv-
er between Twenty-fourth and Twen-
ty-fifth streets, in Moline, last night.
The money loss is $4,000. The
blaze is believed to have been the
work of an incendiary.
At first it was supposed the build
ings had been ignited by a locomo-
tive spark, but this theory was dissi-
pated when it was found that there
had not been switch engine in the
railroad yards at that point during
the entire day.
Save Adjoining Property.
When the department arrived the
two center buildings of the group
we're enveIoped in flames, and the
firemen devoted their energies to saw
ing what they could of the remaining
houses and other property in the
vicinity. A favoring wind aided the
in preserving the two
houses at the west end of the group.
The buildings destroyed were valued
at 5000 each, and there was insurance
of $500 on the four. The company
each year placed insurance on the
ice supply APRIL, the policies car
rying through the summer season.
The company was negotiating as late
as yesterday with agents, but had not
contracted for any of the insurance.
Thus the ice consumed is a total loss.
1t represents about half of the COM
pany's housed harvest.
Burns Three Hours.
The plant of the Wright Carriage
is located a short dis
lance east of the Channel COM
pany's houses, and the report got
abroad in Rock Island that it was the
carriage works that was destroyed.
This plant was not even damaged.
The fire at the ice company plant
was discovered at o'clock. 1t was
after midnight before it was extin-
guished.

Things Expected.
Elmer Smith, catcher on the Daven-
port team of last year, and now risen
to the dignity of manager for Canton,
H., is trying to induce Manager Jack
Tighe of the Islanders to sell Bill JAG
OLSEN to him. Elmer says he knows
the game pretty well, and his knowl-
edge induces him to believe that in
time Jake will be the whole show on
some good team, but he thinks that for
the present Bill has no right to be
with the champion Islanders. The ISL
ander manager laughs at Mr.. Smith,
and tells him that he considers big Bill
among the most valuable men in the
squad, and that it would take a good
round sum to buy him. Tighe is not
joking about this, either, as he has
often said that he believes Jacobsen
will make a big Lacquer in a few years
If he continues to develop as he gives
promise of doing at present. Jake has
all the requirements of good player,
and under management such as Tighe's
he ought to advance rapidly. Mr.. Smith
can't rake together enough sheckals to
buy our Jakey.
