BERGER MAY YET
LAND on S0X TEAM

In review of the possibilities OF
the makeup OF the Chicago White Sox
regulars for the coming year a cores
pondent OF the Chicago Examiner
says:
The task of picking the "perma-
nent' infielders is a ticklish one. IT'S
practically certain that Zeider will
play first base. that Rath will be on
second and that Cap Lord won't be
disturbed at third. But it's anything
but a cinch that Weaver will be kept
instead Of Berger. Weaver was in
goCd condition when he reported. He
went about his work as if there had
been no winter season. and the result
was that the infeld candidates looked
slow by contrast. Buck still looks
good, although he isn't hitting much.
Recently Mr.. Berger has been cut
tins loose and proving that there are
other shor;stops IN the world besides
the Weaver and Blackburne families.

POISON THE BLOOD

Gas forms in your stomach be-
cause the food you eat ferments and
turns sour.
Allow this fermentation to go on
and these gases become poisonous
and the poison gets into the blood.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets stop the
fermentation almost instantly, turn
the poisonous gases into liquid and
eliminate the poison mostly through
the kidneys.
If you have any stomach trouble
such as gas, sourness, heaviness, fiat

Reports from Moline baseball pro-
moters are to the effect that Moline
will be there with tie :@ngling coin
Wednesday evening when promoters
of the proposed Mississippi Valley
league meet there for the purpose of
organization. 1t is said that some
few thousands of dollars have been
ushered into the strong boxes of the
new club and that only the baseball
fans have been asked to come to the
aid OF the club thus far. None of
the big boys have been rounded up.
AS other representatives of cities
which make up the organization, stat
ed at the meeting last week, they will
be ready to take up the project as
soon as Moline is ready. Unless
there is a change in feeling before
that time, the six-club league will
be enrolled in the history of the
baseball of the country Wednesday
night.
DELAY REORGANIZATION.
Rock Island is awaiting the final
action of Wednesday night before
launching into the reorganization of
the club. Some few of the stock
holders have offered their stock to the
club to be sold or given away as they
choose, but the majority, seeing that
the new league means the continu-
ance Of baseball here. are going to
stick with the ship and give financial
and moral support to It.

the recipe for successful musical COM
edy is regard for human beings, both
as characters and spectators, and re-
gard for cleanliness. Perhaps this ex-
plains why so few musical comedies
are really successful.
Sarah Bernhard and Madame Re-
jane, the two glories of the French
stage, whose art has delighted the
theatregoer in every country of the
world, have found Immortality in the
motion picture. Bernhard has played
Camille" her greatest dramatic sue
cess, before the motion picture camera
and Rejane had produced ''Sans-Gene,"
her greatest comedy creation. These
reels are the sensation of the motion
picture world and have proven to be
the greatest box Office attractions that

Torrance, while Rejane was paid near

of the theatre that she has never ex-
plored, but after watching many picture
exhibitions and visiting motion picture
studios, she accepted the commission
with enthusiasm, and organizing her
powerful original company for Ca

unique Camille" with its tense,

result is a play of two reels of 2,275
feet, every foot of which is gripping in
interest Bernhard is the perfect mis-
tress of gesture, pose and expression,
and the pictures make the story thrill
ingly plain. Rejane followed the ex
ample of Bernhardt, and calling to

tered into the play with the spirit of q
school girl. Among Parision favorites
she is the most celebrated for the free
play of the body as a medium of ex

taxable distinction. "Sans-Gene" makes
three reels of 1850 feet Many mana
gers of legitimate playhouses have de
clared that while they would not pre-

Joe is big man and has harder time
in getting in shape than his lighter
brethren. He appears to be better
hitter than Weaver and that may win
him the preference. You can never
tell what youngster is going to do
against big league pitching till you've
seen him try. Berger might hit $50
in the American league. So might
Weaver. On the other hand, their
combined averages might not total
200. Callahan will probably keep
three shortstops until the season is

BIC GUARANTEE
FOR CARL BROWN
Waterloon Will Draw Down a
Large Sum If He Wins
Wrestling Match Here.
AT THE ILLINOIS THURSDAY
Recent Victory Over Paul Prehm of
Mason City Has Given Him
Chesty Feeling.

What promoters claim is the biggest
guarantee ever offered to any wrestler,
not excepting Frank Gotch, in the tri-
cities, is that which has been offered
to Carl Brown of Waterloo SO that he
will come to Rock Island Thursday
night to the Illinois theatre to wrestle
Gust Papas before the local audience.
The amount of the guarantee is not
stated, but the promoters say that it is
ample. Further, Brown wants his car.
fare, coming and going, and that of his
manager, too. He believes in looking
after Carl Browns finances, and the
promoters believe in giving the fans
what they want, and the best that
there is. But Brown is so confident
that he can put Papas to the mat, that
he is willing to take the losers end
of the argument, should he be downed.
GETTIN' CHESTY.
Last Friday night, he threw Paul
Prehm of, Mason City, twice in so min
utes, and he is so dog-goned proud of
his record that he thinks nobody can
throw him. But some of these days
what's the use of trying to predict
what's going 10 happen Thursday
night? Both men are crackerjack
wrestlers, and both will have to hum.
Jesse Slaymaker is shedding few
tears of sorrow these days, and is
hopeful that Brown will win so that he
can get rap at him a little later. His
arm will be improved before April and
he wants a match with the winner ear.

ture has been most commonly recon-
mended, but its injury to the foliage
has made 1t unsatisfactory, since the
remedy must be applied during the
growing season.
The peach scab (often called BLACK
spot") is another disease which ser
iously affects the peach crop in all
sections east of the Rocky mountains,
although not causing such serious
losses as brown rot
AS result Of experimental work
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, a cheap and simple rem
edy for this disease has been found in
the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash. This
can be applied during the growing
season with very little danger OF in
juring the fruit or foliage and It is
very effective. Furthermore by mix
ing arsenate of lead with the fungi
side, the curculio can be destroyed at
the same time.
The department issued q bulletin
describing the preparation and use of
the remedy. This publication will be
of great interest to peach growers In
all sections
