The Danger After Grip

lies often in rundown system. Weak
ness, nervousness. lack of appetite.
energy and ambition, with disordered
liver and kidneys often follow an at
tack of this wretched disease. The
greatest need then is Electric Bitters,
the glorious tonic, blood purifier and
regulator of stomach, liver and kid
neys. Thousands have proved that
they wonderfully strengthen the
nerves, build up the system and re-
store to health and good spirits after
an attack of grip. If suffering, try
them. Only so cents. Sold and per.
feet satisfaction guaranteed by all
druggists.

HARRY KELLY is
BACK; MINUS JOB

Harry Kelly, who played third base
with last years islanders and who
was one of the best third sackers in
the league, returned to Rock Island
this morning, minus a job in the ball
world but with prospects of landing
within a short time. He went from
this city TO Decatur and then TO Dan
vile. For some unknown reason, Kel-
ly was let out at both places without
trial to make good, possibly because
Of the salary which his playing merits,
beeing too high. At any rate, Kelly
is back. He says that at Danville
he got into one game to hit in the
fifth inning after all other Danvillians
had failed TO connect. He raped out
two-sacker, stole third and made
score on an infield out But even
so. that was not enough for the Dan
vile owners and manager. He went
to the bench and subsequently was re-
| leased.
Kelly says he is in excellent con-
diion and is sure that this season will
be better one for him than any pre-
vious year. He may go TO some league
which holds out something more than
meager stipend for a player who
has made good. Kelly is a scrappy
player, has a good wing and can be
counted upon to hit the ball when
a hit is needed. That he will not long
be idle is a certainty. He says this
dope about his going TO a Chicago out
law team is nothing more than dope

OF the girls, little IN the way of ad-
vertising is needed. They are wonder
full drawing cards as the spectacle OF
women playing ball with the same
skill and efficiency shown by the ma
pority OF the minor league teams, is
one that is interesting indeed. AS far
as can be learned, only one Of the
girls is not a girl The lone male,
however, is called Hpon only when one
OF the regular female players is in
capacitated.
Carrie Nation, the wonderful girl
pitcher, from Kansas City is not 10 be

FIRST preliminary
GOLF TOURNAM ENT

The first of the preliminary tourna-
ments for men was scheduled for this
afternoon at the Rock Island arsenal
golf course and because of the fact
that the arsenal links have been great
ly improved through several changes
which have made them faster, it is
thought that the entry list will be
large. Steward J. c. Genner has ar
rived and has taken up his duties.
Those who are in charge of the club
house and the links state that every
thing Is better equipped than ever
before. The first preliminary tourna-
ment for women will be held next
Thursday.
