Sans of Montezuma, c. f., and Dumas
of Wrightsville, r. f.; or Moran OF
2lakeiy, f., Crouch of Dawson, c. T.,
and Dodge of Montezuma, r. f.
For the utility man there seems
hardly any doubt that Methvin is the
proper person, first on account OF
pitching, second his batting, and
third his fielding in whatever posi-
ton he is sent, though Tillman
makes him hustle, for lilly is very
fast at pitching, at fielding and es-
pecially on the bases.
Now the former wrangles have in
creased to such an extent that a
pitching staff is hardly possible to
pick. But to my mind there has not
been an equal of lack Schuessler on
our diamond this season or any 9TH
er season, so we give him first place.
After careful consideration we leave
three men to you from whom to Sc
lect two pitchers, namely, Dozier and
Tillman of Dawson and Methvin of
Montezuma. AS to the fourth pitch
er's place you have to decide between
Teutery and Slappey. Both are good
left-handers, though little wild at
times, but both are as good left
handlers as are seen in amateur ball.
Of course this pick may not be as
some would choose, but this machine
would be unbeatable not only by
amateur teams but by some profess
sional teams as well.
Our teams percentage for the year
is .702. We have played Is games,
winning 80, losing IA and tying one.
1t seems that our base ball season
has also been very successful in the
social world. Every member of the
club has an admirer among the fair
fans, and it is reported by Madam
Rumor that one of our best players
is to enter the field of matrimony
with one of our most charming la
dies within the time of a week or
two.
So, who can say that our season
this year has not been successful
both from the viewpoint of the play
or as we'll as the spectator?
Two or more of our most worthy
fans rendered a delightful barbecue
10 the entire team and their friends
Friday. And every man expressed
MS keen desire to be back for next
summer. The Wrightsville team,
who were also at the cue, asked that
he management arrange another
line-game series with them next sea-
son, and they promised to put up
better exhibition of ball, for they GER
.ainly did like our town.

YOUNG COUPLE WEEDS MONDAY NIGHT
Miss Mary Durham and Mr.. Pleasant
Mcdowell Steal March on Parents
and Marry in Leeshurg.

A marriage of romantic interest,
in which Mr.. Pleas. Mcdowell and
Miss Mary Durham, members OF
Dawson's younger social set, were
the contracting parties, occurred in
Leesburg Monday night.
1t has been an open secret for some
time that the young couple were
sweethearts, and that the young la
dy's parents were trying to delay the
match until they both were older,
their youth being the only real objec-
ton.
The young couple, however, decid-
ed that a young man eighteen and
young lady seventeen had right to
get married if they wanted to, and
taking several of their friends into
their confidence they met at the home
of one of their friends and securing
an automobile drove to Leesburg,
accompanied by ]. H. Crouch and
Miss Minnie Hatcher, where they Sc
q
nary George Collier, and the cere-
mony was performed by Judge Ware
Martin. after which they returned to
the home of the grooms parents, Mr..
and Mrs. r. E. Mcdowell on Stone
wall street, where they received the
forgiveness and blessings of thei"
respective parents.
The parents of the young lady
learned of the intentions of the
young couple, and after consultation
with each other decided for the faith
er to go out and look for them with
the purpose of trying to persuade
them to wait until they were older
and if it was found that they were
determined to get married at once to
have the ceremony performed at the
home of the bride, but the young
folks not knowing of this decision
made it convenient not to be found
and believing they were being pur-
sued in another car by the father
served only to speed up the car of
Cupid. and it is said the trip was
made to the Lee county capital in
record breaking time.
The bride is the youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. c. Durham
and one of the popular members of
Dawson's younger social set, while
the bridegroom is one of the sterling
young men of the city with hosts
of friends who wish for himself and
bride much success and happiness.

DUST FROM THE DIAMOND.
By Egbert.


A most glorious baseball season
in more ways than one has just pass
ed into history.
A picked team as seen on the To-
cal diamond this year;
No catcher seen here is the all
round man that John Monahan is.
Possibly Dick Manchester may field
faster, but he can't hit, while Mony
is as good a pinch hitter as any man
on the squad. Some may ask what
about Riley? 1t is true he can hit,
but he is out of his position. He is
an outfelder. He receives the ball
only fairly, and his peg to the bases
is not in the class with Monahan.
At the first corner Goat" Holiday
stands on the higher pedestal, for he
is an all-round finished ball player.
He knows the game from start to
finish, his speed on the bases is great,
while he is leading in fielding.
Though Brodgen of Montezuma and
Norris Of Triton are good men, they
could hardly be considered with
Goat a contender
On account Of the many shifts it
is hard to decide who has shown up
the best at the second station, but by
his average hitting, his consistent
fielding and his speed on the bases
it seems hardly possible that there
has been a man here this season who
could beat Murray Dunn out Of the
place, though Stewart of Triton will
push Murray hard. Mcknight or
Brogden OF Montezuma, Tebeaut OF
Dawson OF. Ray of Wrightsville could
not be classed with the former two.
At short there is also a wrangle.
Clements, with his rep" all over the
South, must have certainly had an
off day when here, for he played
miserable ball Halves OF Monte
yuma played spectacular ball for the
former and would have won the place
had he not slowed up when he was
playing with the local team. Brough-
ton Of Triton was perfect at fielding,
but he could not hit at all That
leaves us to consider Barnard. He
played clean, fast baseball in his I'M
assuming way His fielding average
is good and. too. he is leading the
team in the number of hits. But still
Halves fast work with Montezum2
can't be overlooked. So the writer
leaves Barnard and HAYES to the
reader to pick from.
As to the hot corner, there is no
doubt in the least Though don't
think for a minute there have not
been any other good third basemen
seen here this season., but l rank
them as follows: higgins first, Stew
art of Montezuma second, and SlS>
Ter OF Triton third.
In the outfeld the wrangle increas-
es, for there have been just lots Of
good outfelders seen here, so let's
try TO figure out who would make the
best combination, and we, after ex-
aiming batting and fielding aver
ages and base running, give you
three combinations Swami of
Wrightsville, !. f., Gallagher of Daw-
son, c. f., and HARRISON OF Dawson,

Another manifestation OF the need
of strict observance OF traffic regula,

Fortunately neither people on foot

were injured. although both machines
were damaged some.

We're utterly disregarding the traffic

by the experience of the accident OF

WILL NOT LOCATE
TANK PLANT HERE
Directors of Illinois Oil Company
Find No Site Suitable
to the Needs.
MAY GO ACROSS RIVER
Concern Willing to Expend $4,000 fol
Ground Here, But Intends to
Accept Free Homo.

The board of directors of the I'LL
nois Oil company, which is planning
70 erect a $4,000 plant for the manu-
facture of oil tanks. at a meeting held
in this city. instructed James M.
WEIGH. superintendent of the concern,
to close a contract with the Greater
Davenport committee to locate the
factory on the river front in the Iowa
town.
While the officials stated they IA
vored the location of the plant in Rock
Island. where for years the head Of
fees have been situated, yet they
found no site available after a thor
ough search and they decided to ac-
cept the Davenport offer which means
that the land will be given them free.
The officials of the company were
willing to spend $4,000 to remain in
Rock Island If a suitable location was
found. Letters from hundreds of
towns were received. but all were too
far away from the tri-cities and they
deemed it wise to remain in this sec
ton.
While the contract is not as yet
closed. it is thought likely that there
will be no hitch which will cause a
change in the plans. The new plant,
it is expected. will be completed about
the first of next year.
Will Keep Offices Here.
The offices of the company and the
oil interests will be kept in Rock Is
land as at present, but the present
factory, employing AZ men, which
manufactures tanks, will be removed
over to the newer plant.
The directors declared a four per
cent cash dividend payable July l.
This is the second since the company
Incorporated Jan. 1, the other dividend
also being of four per cent declared
at the quarterly meeting of the direc-
tors on April 1.
Beginning next week the factory
will operate through the night Since
1t has been located in Rock Island

miscreant Disregards Valuables

BREAKS WINDOW ON PORCH
Thief Works With Lights on and

Most Mysterious Case.

Rock Island police are attempting

in which thief or thieves dis
regarded valuable jewels. cut glass
and silverware az the home OF B. /
Hayes. $40 Seventeenth street. Tuesday
evening. took only watch and a purse
containing a small amount OF money,
which were priceless, however, in
association TO the Hayes family.
The queer conduct OF the thief only
adds TO the mystery surrounding the
case. No cIews were left in the bold
attempt and the watch and money
were those which belonged to Hartsel
Hayes. son OF Mr.. Hayes. who has
been dead the past two years The boy
earned both and as keepsakes they
were valued highly by the family.
The burglary was perpetrated IN
the absence OF members Of the family
Tuesday evening and occurred prev
ious to $3.50 o'clock. The thief ran

ing clothes and all articles in his
path about the house.
Mr.. Hayes. who is a member OF the
clothing firm OF Gustafson & Hayes.
was not at home. being enroute to this
city from Wisconsin where he had
been attending to business matters.
Mrs. Hayes and her sister. Miss Min
ME Kelly. had departed from the Hayes
home following the evening meal and
had called on some friends.
II is presumed that the thief was
aware OF the absence OF the family and
that as soon as darkness permitted, he
gained entrance to the house.

there were indications that he attempt
ed TO force his way in through these,
but in each instance he was frustrated.
Finally he broke the glass in the upper
frame OF a window, and then unlocked
It and went in.
He drew down all of the shades and
turned on the lights. His next step
was to open the French doors leading
from a bed chamber to a porch, thus
assuring an exit in case members OF
the family came home while he work
ed.
He then visited practically every
room in the house. The contents or
dresser drawers. chiffoniers, ice box
and all other were ransacked and
strewn on the floor.
| In his trip about the house he passed
up many valuables. Whether this
disregard for the jewels was intention
/ al or not is not known, but ii Is
thought that one as clever as he
would not knowingly have neglected
to steal these. unless his mission in
the house was for something else
than theft
Among the many things that he
left untouched was a garnet pin,
new Gillette safety razor, cut glass,
silyerware and some Jewels.
A neighbor noticed all of the lights
on and also saw a man standing near
the dresser through the opened French
doors. but she thought the figure was
Mr.. Hayes.
It is believed that a telephone call
about 80 o'clock frightened the thief
away.
Ladies Discover Theft.
A short time after $3.50 O'Clock, Mrs.
Hayes and her sister. who had been
standing on the opposite side of the
street from the Hayes home, talking
to friends. and who had not suspected
anything of the burglary. returned to
their home to find the place in great |
disorder. 7
They made a hasty inspection and
then called the police. Officers rushed
TO the scene but thus far have been
unable to locate any tangible clews.
The actions of the thief are very
strange for one who would so boldly
attempt crime in the manner in which
ne did. II seems queer to the MEN,
oers OF the family that the miscreant
would take only the watch and purse
to the deceased son OF Mr..
Hayes, and would leave valuables
worth in money many times the
amount OF the keepsakes.
