Dubuque, April Clarence Row.
land made one of the biggest hauls
of his preseason angling Tuesday
evening when Pitcher Hollenbeck was
announced as purchased from Frank
Boyle, last years manager of the
Waterloo club. Hollenbeck was one
of the players who reverted to Boyle
as reimbursement for the managers
services last season. 1t will be re-
membered that Boyle was unable to
draw considerable back pay from
Waterloo owing to the sad financial
straits of the club there towards the
latter part of the 1911 season. He
carried his case before the national
commission, who allowed him a
choice of players on the Waterloo
roster. Boyle picked the best and
Hollenbeck is one of these players.
Hollenbeck was sent to Chattanooga
in the Southern league by Boyle, but
claimed that he could not give his
best to that club owing to climatic
conditions which affected his strength.
He accordingly asked Boyle to place
him in a circuit up north, preferring
this territory and Rowland managed
to wind up negotiations for the
pitchers services the coming season
by a fancy offer which was accepted
by wire at Waterloo Tuesday even.

SYNOPSIS OF LECTURE,
WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC

Following is a synopsis of the lee
ture on THE White Slave Traffic. -
to be delivered by Robert Rexdale
tonight and tomorrow at the Illinois
theatre for the benefit of the Monu-
ment association fund:
The quiet country town the lit
tie girl of our story came from, just
such a beautiful place as this, nes-
tied down among the hills. The
white SLAYER at work Little does
she know to whom she is talking.
Visions of the gay city; her thoughts
are all of the big world outside.
Leaving home in the night; picture
the feelings of her parents when they
find their dear one is gone. The
city of "the great white way" the
bright lights dazzle her eyes; the
auto ride; little does she know Of
} the danger beyond. The roaS house

with 81. and his three games ended
with the magnificent total of 319.
Hildebrandt was about as good as
any Stock Leader. He rolled 419
and was second high.
Mixer simply could not hit the pins
in the proper place, and he pinned up
3S5 score, about as low as he ever
manipulated
Isn't the weather lovely, boys? One
can not concoct marks commensurate
to that bowling on a day like this.
Akemann was the high Cub with
474 and that is not top notch score,
ordinarily.
Glory be. There are only eight
more bowling nights in the Semi-Pro
according to the schedule, the Com
mercial league has but seven more
series, and they are dates the same as
the other leagues.

scene; the beginning of the end.
Prisoner in a lonely house; strong
locks hold the door; disenchantment.
1t is strange what influence these
men have over their victims. Look
ing for new prey; he strolls through
the park in the hope of catching an
other poor little fly in his network
of lies. Alone in her sorrow visions
of the old home rise before her. The
rathskeller scene; the picture shows
she is not taking kindly to the life
around her. Noted resorts; familiar
sights of the great city. Good women
missionaries; they invade the very
doors of resorts preaching the gospel
OF love. The Salvation Army at
work, they hold their street meet
ings both day and night. A lonely
funeral in an obscure city street, no
mourners, no flowers, no friends.
The old folks at home, this old cou-
! pie are white with age, their steps
are slow and feeble now, but they
cling to the hope that some day
somewhere, they will be reunited
with the little girl they have never
! ceased to love.

C. Wilson Of the Cubs team has a
narrow margin of two pins the best
of w. Stephen in the average Of the
league bowlers. Wilson tops the
column with 166 average, while Ste
phen comes next with 1874. The fig
ures do not include last nights
games and a little figuring may show
a reversal in the topnotch standing.
Though he quit bowling some sew
eral moons ago, Cornelius Meenan
still holds in his possession one Of
the league records-low average
score. He bids fair to hold it through
the remainder of the year.
IN TEAM AVERAGES.
In team averages, the Cubs have
the edge on the rest Of the bunch.
The average per game is 757, and
has been made within the last few
weeks. The Stock Leaders, the hold
ers of the bottom position, come next
and the Bachelors and Plow City
teams are tied for bottom. The fig

AT THE ILLINOIS.

A notable feature of Charles
Klein's THE Lion and the Mouse"
which the United Play company
brings to the Illinois Sunday, is the
wholesome and distinct drawing of
the various characters in the story.
There cannot be found in the play
villain, a frivolous matron, way
ward girl nor an adventures. Now
adays it is a rare occurrence to visit
the theatre without having to hear
the doings and misdoings of one or
more such characters on the stage.
Mr.. Klein has displayed a keen
knowledge of what is most desired by
the public of today. The cleanliness
of "The Lion and the Mouse" has
been a huge factor in the remarkable
success enjoyed by this interesting
and well told story of certain phases
of Americas money world.
