DAVENPORT PLANS
A FAST OUTFIELD
Finney. OhIand and Weisenstein to
DO Garden WOrk-May Get
Pitcher Roger.

Outfielder Finney of Ottumwa
who comes to Davenport in exchange
for Fred Johnston. the young in
fielder, is a fast fielder and Manager
O'Leary was especially anxious TO
secure him. Dan believes he will
hit better with Davenport than he
did last year. He has been with OF
tumwa for several years and plays
in right field. The dope is now for
Finney, OhlaDd and Weisenstein in
the outfield, as ii is understood that
both Nadeau and Holycross will be
traded More speed in the gardens
is deemed essential for the Pretzels.
In both Finney and Weisenstein fast
fielders and base runners are to join
Davenport and with Ohland will in
ject more hustle in the team than
it knew last year.
Weisenstein was in baseball for his
first year with Fall River in 1910,
and the youngster, who is but 20
years of age is expected to do much
better with Davenport. The chilly
climate in New England hampered
Weisenstein and he was pleased to
hear of the deal by which he comes
west. His home is Louisville, Ky. a
number of propositions for trades
or purchases have been discussed
with Bloomington and it is possible
that Pitcher Roger may be secured.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Although the Hawley and Alcotte
company is billed as headiiners at the
Majestic theatre for the first half OF
the week. there is some doubt about
their being the most popular act on
the bill. for the Melnotte Lanole tight
wire trio did some great things on the
wire for which they were very liberal
" appiaudeG. Their work is nearly
all of new and difficult type, making
their act a novel one. The Hawley and
>lcotte comnauy have a special stage
setting and put on a sketch called
Monday Afternoon" in which the
first day of the new show furnishes
much fun behind the scenes. There is
some pathos and not little humor In
the skit. Schalc and Cole do well in
singing and dancing stunts and Grace
Dexter Hopes wears some startling
gowns in a singing act which she puts
on. Mrs. Casey's new song, HAS Any

SUNDAY BASEBALL COSTLY?
Monmouth Minister Says the Game
There Would Prove a Failure.

Monmouth, H., Feb. The argu-
ment that Sunday baseball in Mon
mouth would be injurious from a
financial standpoint was advanced by
DR.. w. r. King of the First Presby-
terrain church in a sermon Sunday
night. DR.. King did not discuss the
religious phase of the question, but
declared that Monmouth's preemi-
hence as a college, church and educa-
tional center would be injured
through the introduction of the Sun
day sport. Monmouth was the only
team in the Central association last
year which did not play Sunday ball.
The directors have decided to try
Sunday exhibitions. Heretofore the
church element has been strongly be-
hind the sport here.

we're rolled in the 18th annual tourna-
ment OF the American Bowling con
gress last night at the Coliseum, when
a few local players tried TO repeat the
Haley performance of last year but
without result
Several splendid attempts were
made to overhaul the leaders in both
the doubles and singles, Glenn Riddell
and Fred Pump of New York shooting
POS for a tie at twelfth place in the
two men event, while Sheldon Caron a
Louisville player started off with a
garnd lead in the singles, only TO come
back badly in his last game, winding
up with GAP for sixth position.
CHICAGO GOT MOST.
Chicago landed the individual event
through the efforts OF young Jimmy
Blcuin, who shot 6S1 a week ago, and
had his record stand some of the sew
crest attacks ever made on a bowling
leader. Several times his mark seem
ed in danger, the veteran Mel Knox of
indianapolis missing it closest by a
single strike. Blouin has been rolling
for years, but the present victory is
his first big one in a tournament

up in the history of the game, the to-
tai cash winnings exclusive of some
money in the all events, being ss.394,

Our prexy, Mr. Tearney, apparently
is not permitting the affairs OF the
Three-Eye league to weigh too heavily
upon him At any rate he has no no
ton of sticking with the fight till the
strain impairs his health. Last night
in company with c. A. Comiskey and
other baseball lights OF the Windy city,
he started for Memphis, where the par
ty will sail on the good ship, White
Sox, for a cruise up White river in
Missouri. This is about the season
when the wild ducks that winter along
the sea coast invade the marshes of
Arkansas and Missouri on their way
north.
Meantime the Three-Eye will be com
PEELED to struggle along as best il may.
Mr.. Tearney's exuberance at the time
Judge Gridley gave his ruling on the
Waterloo injunction last Friday is now
evidently explained: term behind
the bars would have interfered with
the present trip.
PASSES UP VAUDEVILLE
Mr. Tearney yesterday acknowl-
edged the receipt of an offer of $500
for three nights in vaudeville on the
stage of a Waterloo theatre. which
sum, # was stated, would be raised to
$3.50 if Dick Kinsella were brought
along. Tearney said he would allow
the offer TO go by default.

AGED RELATIVE OF
DANIEL BOONE DIES

Tompkinsville, KY, May 49,
Mrs. Polly Boone, aged 1O4 years,
died at the home of her son, Sam
uel Boone, of infirmities incident to
age. She was closely related to the
noted pioneer Daniel Boone. She
was blind and had been for about
five years, but was active and had
good memory until recently. She
spent her life in Kentucky except a
few years in Tennessee, just across
the State line. She never saw
train in her life and was never on
board steamboat. Mrs. Boone was
the oldest woman in Southern Ken
lucky.
She is survived by her son and
three sets of grandchildren, which
number about fifty.
