Every one of the six men who will
take part in the wrestling program
this evening at the Illinois theatre
reported good condition this morn

the main go between Harry Brondell
Of Davenport and Nick Collins of
Chicago; the semi-windup between
Pill Gabel OF Rock Island and Dave
Henschen of Davenport, and the
other preliminary between McClary
of Muscatine and kid" Fisher of
Chicago. Every one of the six
wrestlers is confident of victory. This
confidence makes it almost certain
that every one of the matches will
be close. Confidence is half OF the
wrestling game. Cyclone" Tommy

AT THE GRAND.

The latest success of Fiske O'Hara,
Loves Young Dream" is booked to
appear at the Grand, Davenport, next
Saturday night. In this play, Mr..
o'Hara gives an excellent picture of
life in Ireland during the early part
OF the 18th century, one of the gold
en- ages of the country. This was the
period in which the Irish gentleman
of wealth and position lived on his
own estates and took pride in the
breeding of his horses and then rid
Ing them in the steeplechase. There
is real snap to the story, for this
was the age Of dash and go and the
play would not reflect the spirit of
the time If it did not possess this quail
ity. 1t is not necessary to comment
on the fitness of Mr.. O'Hara to por-
tray a role of this type. He has
proved by his artistic and intelligent
interpretations of similar roles in the
PAST that he is eminently fitted for
the work. The production is the
work of Robert E. Irwin and is said
to be one of the most elaborate ever
seen in Irish drama.

AT The ILLINOIS.


A very interesting character in
Young Buffalo," which appears at the
Illinois next Saturday, is William Val
entine, who plays the part of Deer
foot" a young Indian chief. He is
one of the few actors who make
study of Indian parts. In the last five
years he has never played any part
except Indian characters, having ap-
peared as the chief in THE Squaw
Man." as Back Hawk" in 'Bunco in
Arizona" and specially engaged to
create one of the leading parts Mr..
Valentine spends his summer vacation
on the Sioux reservation where he
studies the ways, mannerisms and Gus
toms of the red men. He also speaks
four Indian tongues and this season
will wear a genuine chiefs costume,
which was given to him by old Chief
Ceronio.
There is hardly a shadow OF doubt
that The Goose Girl will prove
one of the best attractions visiting the
Illinois this season. 1t comes March

| hope for entertainment of clean and
wholesome plays. The spirit of TO-
nance which prevails, the bright
snappy dialo0e, the dramatic situa-
tons, the amusing comedy incidents
and the delightful love themes all tend
to leave a breath Of fragrance and
satisfaction to the audiences witness
ing the play The cast is said to be
an excellent one and includes among
its roster Virginia Alderman, Florence
Nelson, Marie Van, Victor Sutherland,
Robert Ellis, Sidney Mason, James H.
Lewis, Brian barley and host of
others, all capable actors and types
of the characters portrayed by them
The production is a marvel of beauty
Too much cannot be said of this fea
ture as 1t is without doubt one of the
handsomest scenic investments eyel
offered by a dramatic organization.

last evening after school. 1t was de
cided that the next meeting will be

ton. The six best speakers will be
chosen TO represent the local high
school in the triangular debate between
the schools of Rock Island, Moline and
Davenport, to be held March 90 The
judges of the preliminary contest will
in all probability be Principal A. ].
as p Sinnett, all of the faculty. The
president of the society, Leland Town
san. appointed Eugene Youngert, Ben
Clarke and T. b. Sinnett a committee
to arrange a program for the meeting
to be held on the Goth of this month.

HAVE A GLORIOUS TIME.
Turner Hall Crowd Stays Till 2
O'clock and Has Big Doings-

1t is expected that when the base
ball directors Of the Twin-city Amuse-
ment club have counted up the quar-
tiers and half dollars that clinked into
the box offices of the Turner and Ar
mory halls last night, and expenses
gain of something over $500. Though
the number in attendance at the mas
querade was large, it is known that a
large percentage of the tickets that
were sold were not used Two of the
directors will visit the various bust
ness houses where tickets were on
sale today and tomorrow and only af-
ter they have finished their collections,
will the exact profit be known. The
estimate of $500 is most conservative
The expense of the dances is nominal
for in many instances, services we're
donated. The money made through
the balls will be added to the club
treasury and will be used with SUBJ
scription money to put team on the
field.
BEGIN EARLY.
Committeeman were stationed in
their places long before 8 o'clock and
when the doors opened at that hour
and the orchestras set forth the first
strains Of raggy two-step, the dane
ers began to file in. Some were cos
TUNED and all were masked. BY 9
o'clock Armory hall was crowded to
overf1owing while but a few tripped
the light fantastic at Turner. Such
was the condition till II o'clock when
the crowd was segregated, as 'twere
and the bigger number sent to Tur,
ner. Shortly after midnight, Armory
hall was emptied and all who wished
tc dance longer were sent to Turner
where dancing continued till o'clock
Throughout the evening, dancers hur
ried back and forth from one hall tc
the other While there was intermis
sion at one hall, the orchestra was go
ing in the other. So some danced
nearly all evening. All unmasked al
II o'clock.
/ MAY HAVE ANOTHER.
Because of the success of the func
ton, it is more than probable that an
other affair will be given within few
weeks. Besides the sale of tickets
money pours in through check rooms

ton, however, was finished, and Wat
kins, owner Of the Springfield fran
chise, and Bobby Quinn of the Akron
club and President Carson say 1t
should be a model for all minor
leagues. w. H. Watkins, who owns
the indianapolis club, in the class B
league brought to the document the
results of his experience and it is be-
lieved the constitution will be a guar
antee of protection against bad prac-
tees that have always threatened
hitherto to break up the league by
July T. The constitution provides that
each club must deposit $4,000 that it
will not pay more than the limit of
5000 month to any player. If this is
violated and detected the player then
is forfeited to the league, which can
dispose OF him to the best advan-
tage, either selling him or using him to
strengthen some weak team in the
league The fine assessed will be paid
out of the fund which except for what
is drawn out will draw per cent de-
posit interest during the season. Presi-
dent Carson is to give his whole time
in keeping the leagues affairs in prof
table shape. The league thus be-
comes a corporation for profit from
public entertainments, like a theatre
cal company. The schedule will be the
order of business today.

RATHER FROSTY
WEATHER, WHAT?
Looks Like Somebody Has Cold
Feet Is the Opinion of
Some Fans.
ROCK ISLAND READY TO GO
Has the Collateral to Land the Fran
chise-Other Arguments
Besides.

Well wouldn't that frost you? Prexy
A. R. Tearney, chief mogul of the
conditions are such that the meeting
Three-Lamp league, says that weather
must be postponed till Tuesday. Some
body wired the chief that train con-
nections are poor at the present time
and procrastination was the result.
And so while it was hoped that the
league meeting would become history
today, it is still an event for the fu-
ture. It is the sincere hope of ev-
cry Islander fan that weather will set
tie by next Tuesday so that the south
erners will not be bothered by the
crisp breezes.
THERE ARE DOUBTERS.
Some have taken the boss word for
the postponement, that is, the reason
for it. Others, of course, have given
voice to their own private opinions.
They state that some club must be
waiting 20 corral more funds before
jumping into the mid-winter meeting.
But be that as it may, Rock Island is
ready today and will be ready Tues
day to put forth enough collateral so
that not another word need be said
to land that franchise and put it in
its proper place. Money talks, every
body knows, and the Twin-city Amuse-
ment company has the goods. If needs
| be, it will be pointed out to the league
tmagnateS that this little Islander town
/ is the pivotal place on the Three-Eye
map and that the league will be bet
ter off for its return into the fold
without the miss of a single playing
season. If money and geography are
! not big enough arguments, league rec
ords of attendance for some 10 or II
years will clinch the argument.

Statistics published to date show that

S251,375, 0OO. This amount exceeds the
losses suffered during the same period last
year by S12,637 800. Ten million dollars
of this excess is due directly to the sinking

No fewer than 127 vessels were lost, 46 OF
which were British. All vessels Of less
