 Some of the most important railroads are already planning ambitious schemes of financing. There has lately been free distribution of supplies of bonds on the shelves of the banks and underwriters and the situation is once more getting in shape for the handling of new issues. It is understood that New York Central is about to issue another big block of bonds with which to finance its vast plans of inn provement and betterment as well as to effect that long talked of consolidation of the several railroads embraced within the Vanderbilt jurisdiction.

AT TIE ILLINOIS.

That Rock Island patrons of the thea
ire will lend their hearty support to
first class productions was again illus
rated last night when a packed house
greeted THE Heartbreakers," in which
George Damerel of Merry Widow
fame has the leading part. Manager
William Klinck of the Illinois theatre
was well pleased with the house and
with the many congratulations show
cred upon him for having secured the
play for this city. He was assured of
support from the public similar TO that
enjoyed last night whenever produc-
tons of like class are brought here.
The Heartbreakers' is a clever com
edy with scenes laid in and about New
York. The first act shows the quar-
tiers OF the Saxon club, an organiza-
ton whose purpose and intent is to
break the hearts of women. Damerel
is master of the club. He. assigns the
victims" to the different members,
but the girl'-Miss PeebIes-proves
such a Tartar that he must take her
in hand himself. She is carefully
BudIQSu Bg an tiIdLlC IdbASI anu d
maiden aunt, who have never permit
ted her to look al her reflection IN a
mirror. The master, who. incidentally,
has never failed Of conquest, loses his
heart to the girls beauty and limo
cence. The second scene is a remark
able one. It portrays two floors in the
castle in which the girl lives. Dam
eTel gains entrance to the place and
spends an evening with the girl, there
by winning a wager of $50, 900 from the
father, who had denied him admit
lance to the place. It all ends up with
Damerel resigning as master of the
club and rendering his position as chief
heartbreaker TO the girl. The cast, all
in ali is an excellent one and the
piece is well staged. DameTel 70 Just
as pleasing as Of old, though the play
does not give him the scope for his
powers as did The Merry Widow"
Miss PEBBLES, his co-star, played her
part ably and won constant applause.
The chorus was well drilled, and in
iancing its superior has seldom been
seen here.

AN OPPORTUNITY
IS SLIPPING AWAY
Pete Lister, Looked Upon as
Managerial Possibility,
May Go to Southern.
HAS GOOD OFFER THERE
Wanted to Take Charge of Team
Would Much Prefer to Be
Islander Boss.

Unless there is a speedy disposal of
meeting in Chicago. chances are that
Peter Lister. looked upon as the most
likely manager of the Islanders for
1912, will accept an offer to pilot one
of the teams in the Texas league. Yes
terday afternoon he received a tele-
gram from o. q. Andrews, owner of
the Chattanooga club, stating that it
would be possible TO secure Pete n
comfortable berth in the southern
league. The offer carries a neat sal
airy, but at that, Lister is loeth to &C
cept, simply because he wants to re-
main in the north. Unless some action
is taken toward the continuation of
baseball in Rock Island, Lister will
feel obliged to look after his own in
terests elsewhere. and another oppor-
tunity to sign up a good baseball lead
er for next season will have vanished.
HAS HAD EXPERIENCE.
Lister has made his home in Rock
Island since the days that he cavorted
around the first and second sacks here.
He has played with Chattanooga for
several years and has many admirers
in the southern circuit. His only ex-
perience as manager was for a short
period of time, but during his leader
ship his work showed promise and
therefore the owners Of the club are
anxious to place him at the head OF
some team where he will be able to
display his ability. He knows the
game from beginning to end, and should
he be at the helm on the Islander ship
next year. there is no doubt but that
the team will be in the running.

ANNOUNCE SHAKEUP
IN LINEUP OF CUBS
l.. Swanson Is New Member of Bowl
ing Team Which Is at Bottom
of Sem-PrO League.

There will be a shakeup in the line
uD of the Cub bowling team of the
Semi-Pro bowling league tonight when
the Cubs meet the Bachelors at the
Patting alleys. Captain H. Clemann
announces that L. Swanson will dis
place one of the men who failed to
show the class of the league last week
and he will have one or two other
bowlers there to step in at any point
where a man falls down below the
average of the league. Loss of nine
straight games has led him to make
the change and he promises that the
Cubs will be in the running in spite
of the showing thus far. The other
game this evening will be between the
Stock Leaders and Plow City teams at
the Harms alleys.

managers. Sitting back away from

chief with pencil and score book in
hand plots out the progress of the
engagement and only occasionally
amends the orders he gave his men

oils is manager of the Giants. He is,
and always has been, a typical play
er and leader of the old fighting
school whose slogan is Rush in and

Whether McGraw can bring his
men back to the world-beating class
or must let the Mackmen possess the
big flag for a second successive sea
son depends il some part upon some
the war of 1905.

BY the rules governing the world
series each of the leaders is allowed

the all round excellence of the team.
Philadelphia supporters take &C
count of the fact that their favorites
are already world champions and
that they won the title by trouncing
the Chicago National league club,
which gave New York a close race for
this years league title. They believe
that General Mack has plotted out a
winning campaign and that his men
with an average of 800 at the bat
and with what they consider the fin
est infield in either league, will take
world honors as handily as they cap
tured the league pennant this year.
GIANTS LEAD AT BAT.
In batting the Giants lead the Ma
tionaI league at .271, conceding %
points to the Athletics who lead the
American league with .294. In ex-
ira base hitting the margin of diff
ference is smaller, but still slightly
in favor of the Athletics. In the base
running department the experts give
advantage to McGraw's men, six of
whom are leaders in fleet-foOtedness
among the National league runners.
Altogether the men have stolen 346
bases this season as compared with
22S to the credit OF the Athletics.
SO go comparisons, which made
from any angle, see-saw from the
Giants to the Athletics and back
again, leaving both forces quite
evenly balanced If the weight of
any one player can tip the scale it
will be, experts agree, one of the
pitching stars.
In at least one respect the series
will mark a record in baseball his
tory, for it is estimated that more
than twice as many enthusiasts will
seek admission to the Polo grounds
daily than can be accommodated and
the accommodation will be greater
than ever before provided in a base
ball park i'll this country.
John T. Brush, owner of the New
York club, has replaced the old wood !

which burned early this season with /
a mammoth steel and concrete struc- |
ture, which, when wholly finished, is |
to be the best of the severa |

it is estimated, for nearly 10000
spectators Saturday. !
ATTENDANCE RECORDS.

greater than ever witnessed a bal
game. Attendance records at the
world series and receipts for the
past six years compare as follows:

. this came after he had allowed but
one hit for eight innings.
CoOMBs REAL HERO.
With the Indian in the box is, as
was the case last year, Jack Coombs,
the real hero of the last series.
Coombs, known as Mack's man of
iron" won three straight games in
the 1910 series, a feat which the
Giant Mathewson equaled in 1905.
Coombs is % years old. He play
ed at Colby college, in Maine. and
graduated at once into big league
company with the Athletics in 1906.
He is exactly the same height as his
pitching mate, "Chtef" Bender, 6
feet, I inch. He is holder of rec
ords, one of them being the famous
24-inning victory over Boston in
1907. During the 1910 season he
went So innings at one stretch with
out letting an opposing club score
on him.
Bender and Coombs will be called
upon it is believed to do most of
the pitching in the series at hand but
as the Giants are said to be weaker
before left-handers 1t is possible that
the two southpaws, Plank and Krause
will be given a chance to distinguish
themselves. Plank was one of a trio
of twirlers who won for Philadel-
phia its first taste of league cham
pionship in Mack's second year. Vet
eran though he is, at the age of Sc,
he is still able to do effective work.
SAME BACkSTOPS.
The backstopping for Philadelphia
will be the same as last year. Ira
Thomas, who took the measure of the
famous John King of Chicago in last
years series, will be first choice he
hind the bat and Lapp, who caught
one game last year, will be a close
second Lapp is young and this sea-
sons play has improved him.
Big Chief' Meyers, Wilson and
Hartley will catch for the Giants. But
It is needless to give biographical
sketches OF all the newer stars of the
Forthcoming series. Experts agree
that in no wise can the outcome OF
the series or of a single game be ex-
pected to rest with a single player
unless it be the pitchers.
Team for team the opponents are
as evenly matched as any two that
ever fought for the worlds title Ex-
perts agree as to this and recalling
their mistaken Judgment in picking
the Chicago Cubs as a favorite last
year, they are prone to play safe anG

series to be a matter of delightfully."-

In the betting, odds have been
given both ways. Local experts look
back to the wonderful rush of the

New York, Oct. 1.-THE worlds
championship baseball series about
TO begin marks the climax of interest
in the great American game of base
ball The championship contest
comes every year, but is ever new in
the intense excitement over the cru
clal series. Last year Philadelphia
and Chicago were the centers of this
championship storm, the PhiIadel-
phia Athletics of the American
league winning the coveted title
With the worlds pennant still fly
ing over their magnificent baseball
home at Shibe park at Philadelphia
and with another American league
flag freshly won, Connie Mack and
his Phi1adelphians now meet John J.
McGraw and his Giants of the Ma
t1onal league. 1t is the second time
that these two generals have clashed
over the same great issue. In the
war of 1905 McGraw won four of
the five battles and thereby brought
to New York a worlds pennant
Seasoned by six years more exper-
fence in the generalship of their for
midable baseball forces, these two
baseball leaders now meet again for
the championship struggle. Two
more divergent types than McGraw
and Mack cannot be picked in the
baseball world. The contest between
the two chiefs may be summed up
briefly as follows:
MACK vs.. McGRAW.
Mack-Aged 40; born in New Eng
land, tall and lanky; calm and de-
Lucrative; leads from the bench;
plans battle before game; never dons
uniform; known as tactician.
McGraw-Aged 3S; born in New
York state; short and chubby: quick
and impulsive; always on coaching
lines; resorts to quick judgment;
always in ball toys; distinctly a b.,
strategist.
And so on. with finer distinctions. !
the Emergencies might be traced and
when the problem was finally work
ed out il would be found that about /.
the only point of intersection in their
methods is success.

fans as Connie Mack" has been /
called the wizard of baseball" be /
cause of his skill in developing
seemingly inferior talent into the SUI

FOUR CHAMP TEAMS.
Since he organized the Philadel-
phia club II years ago he has turn
ed out four champion teams in the
