 Madame x''. Bisson's famous drama of mother-love which Henry w Savage brings here tonight and to- morrow matinee and night, is play credited with having made more lasting impression and created a greater sensation than any theatrical attractions of the present generation That this play electrified even blase Paris for over year is now well known as is also the fact that MT.

The Reach 1911 Guide.

That one more ball season is upon
us, is convincingly demonstrated
through the welcome appearance of
Reachs Official American League
guide for 1911; being, as usual. first
in the field and this spring earlier
than ever. The 1911 Reach guide
which has been edited for many years
by Editor Richter, of Sporting Life. ~
is always up TO the high standard set
by the Reach guide ever since the
incumbency of the present editor. but
1t can be justly stated that the 1911
Reach American League guide is the
best of the long Reach series and
superior to any similar publication in
the world, alike in the matter of text
illustrations, quality of paper, bind
ing and all the details that go TO
make up a handsome as well as read
able book-in short the American
leagne official guide for 1911 is In all
respects a first class hand book for the
national game and a decided credit to
the American league and to the pub
fishers, the company, of Philadelphia
This is the tenth annual issue OF the
Reach guide as the official handbook
of the American league and the 2eth
consecutive year Of its publication as

were recently produced for the first
time At the Grand opera house in
Davenport, March Is, Henry B. Harris
will present Miss ST. Denis in the new
series of dances, combining in the pro
gram the Egyptian numbers as well as
those Hindu creations which have caus-
ed greater discussion than any work
done in this line by an American girl
in years. The dances are worth seeing.
because they afford genuine entertain
ment, and ii is in this fact that Miss
st. Denis is strong enough TO have a
company of some so people, whole
carload of scenery, and a special aug
mented orchestra to assist her in her
work The engagement will be for one
night only. and it is the only time she
will play here this season.

AFTER IS YEARS.

AL G.. Fields this season is observ-
Ing the 25th anniversary of his ad-
vent as a producer of black face min
strelsy. He is marking the occasion
by presenting TO his public not only
the finest exhibition of its class ever
appearing under his name, but one of
the most perfect and elaborate min
strel performances ever witnessed in
Rock Island. Fields and his COM
pany were at the Illinois last night,
playing to a large audience. The
performance is divided in four scenes
each of which is an original and
complete stage setting. There is
just enough of the old-fashioned
minstrel atmosphere to satisfy the
auditor that he is not in an entirely
new environment; in other words,
there is an effort to conserve the old
time minstrel sentiment. The end
men joke and sing and dance as of
yore, etc, but there is a distinctive
finish and dash that brings the en-
tertainment closer to the demands
of the present. The singing of the
Field organization is the most pro-
nounced feature. Such another gal
axy of male vocalists was never be-
fore seen with a minstrel company
in Rock Island in 20 years. The
comedians are funny without being
extensively so. If there is any crit
icism TO be offered it is OF Mr.. Fields
himself. In his desire to please

TINE TO WAKE Up.
It really looks as though 1t is tim9
for the club owners at Peoria, Bloom
ington and Danville TO come to their
senses. They should have seen long
ago that this fight is not, primarily,
over the retention of Waterloo, but to
decide whether Dick Kinsella shall
continue to run the league. as he has
since Tearney became its fgurehead
Dick wants to run the circuit for his
own private ends TO take out Of it what
he chooses. OF course ne is willing to
give the other clubs, with a show OF
generosity, such crumbs as he can I
use.
He has convin ced the other southern
magnates that he is fighting their bat
tie, but he isn't It's Dick Kinsella's
battle. and those who are aiding him
are merely his puppets. If he should
be able to carry this fight through TO a
successful finish he would exploit his
present friends" with the same equan-
emity that he now fights the northern
clubs.
WHO WILL CURB HIM.
Dick made a runaway race for the
pennant last year. He is prepared to
do the same thing the coming yea.
Does anybody imagine that he would
have the slightest scruples in disre-
garding any salary limit that might be
agreed to if he found himself in a tight
place during the pennant race? And
with Tearney president of the league
does anyone suppose for a moment
that he would be called to account
Not much. There will be no fair plag
in the Three-Eye while Kinsella is a
member of ii and Al Tearney is its
president, unless the courts enforce Il,
and the Three-Eye is not strong
enough 20 pay the courts TO act as

The Chicago newspapers continue TO
print the stuff that Tearney gives them
and to treat the court decision as a
blow to the league" conveying the
impression thereby that the four south
ern clubs constitute the league.

decision was received Saturday after
