CUBS GATHER n
TALL|ES IN TILT
White SOx Arrive at Mineral Wells to
Face Fierce Sand Storm
Movies Are Taken.

Tampa, Fla, March 15.-Already in
possession Of the Hillsboro county
pennant, those gallavanting Cubs
frisked the state collegiate baseball
title from the Southern College Of
Sutherland, 21 to 5, yesterday after
noon on Plant field. 1t was a terrific
slugging contest, with moth-eaten
fielding. The ball was not always on
speaking terms with the visitors and
charitable scoring by the official sta
tistician kept the errors down to six
for the losers, while the victors
chalked up four for themselves.
One joyous inning hard-boiled the
game for the Cubs. This happened
early in the pastime, the third round,
and in that spasm 13 Cubs went to bat,
every player on the side getting a
tally. Lavender, who was bending
them over for the home tribe, struck
out the first time up in this inning
then combed three-bagger in his sec
ond trial.
Mineral Wells, Texas, March 15.-In

auspicious opening in every way, for
Manager Rowland did not give an or
der and the boys worked like beavers.
Only two members of the squad were
missing when the South Side leader
began the roundup in the lobby of the
Crazy Well hotel a few minutes before
noon. Joe Jackson, it appears, missed
a train connection somewhere along
the line and therefore was not among
those present, while Red Faher's alb

Scanlon, leading hurler of the
Three-Eye league last season, playing
with Davenport, and winner Of the
gold ball offered by Davenport lew
eler. was secured by Chief Lister az
ter a three months chase. Scanlon
won more games than any other pit-
cher in the circuit in 1915. He was
farmed by Louisville to Davenport

him last fall he was made a free

ton to the hurling staff Lister is az

headed the Moline champion sluggers
last season with .27S average. He
drove in more runs than any other
member of the team and won a sill
yer bat offered by Moline jeweler
When Clayton played in the Central
association he was an infielder, but
Boss Hughes of Moline made an excel
lent gardener of him. Although a bit
temperamental, Clayton is a heady
player. With Biltz and Clayton in the
outfeld, two corners will be well pro-
tected.
Ever since Rock Island was made
member of the Three-Eye league Billy
Neal has expressed his desire to play
in his hum" town. Billy started his
professional career with Rock Island
in 1906, remaining here until 1908,
when he went to Mobile in the South
ern league. He then landed back in
Danville and went to Moline when the
Danville franchise was transferred to
the Plow City. He was second best
pitcher on the Moline staff last year,
winning IA games and losing eight.
Concessions Held Up.
At meeting of the directors of the
Islanders held last night in the rooms
of the Business Mems association in
the Safety building bids for conces-
sions and advertising rights at the
park were opened. 1t was found that
the bids turned in included score card
rights and the board had planned not
to let them in this manner. Each Of
the bidders will be visited and his
price on concessions without score
card rights will be learned before any
awards are made. A committee was
also named to confer with the city
commissioners regarding the build
ing of extra bleachers to the north Of
those standing. Frank Yerbury, the
plumber, was awarded a contract to
install new showers in the club
house, with zinc floor The haul
ing of dirt to rebuild the infeld at the
