Chicago. Aug. 5.-Cicotte handed

was too much for the visitors and
they were also shaded in hitting and
fielding. Shaw started for Washing

the first, but went along, of course, as
far as the fifth. In that round he let

was able to retire the side. Ayers
then took up the burden and the

hits and a run in the seventh.

big lawyers and big thieves, little law

Business is not moral So long as
money isn't counterfeit, there is no

Vile into Rock Island Sunday, there
comes one of the country's leading
stars in the person of no less ce-
lebrity than Edna Aug, musical COM

one of the most brilliant women OF
the contemporary stage. Constance
Skinner of the Chicago American
said: Edna Aug is the real head
liner at the Majestic. Never was the

gowns are wonderful and her entire
performance is away above the aver

will be another one Of the celebrated
Pantages acts. Two thousand pounds
of baggage and special scenery are
carried with this act alone. The girls
are said to be among the most beautl-
full on the stage, while their act is
a dainty and altogether refined vaude-
Vile novelty. Rollo and Rollo, a nov
city duo, will comprise a fitting act
to go with the big headline numbers
Of the bill They do a real surprise
in the form of a semi-athletic act.
Harry Gilbert, known as the unusual
comedian, is regarded as being among
the best entertainers in the country.
His yodeling and novelty comedy
stunts stamp him as performer of
rare attainments. Completing this
big road show which travels intact
are Jack and Jessie Gibson, talking
unicyclists.
