One by one the great sluggers who
have blaZed q trail of hits across the
baseball horizon for the last ten or
fifteen years are passing along.
Hitters like Hans Wagner and Sam
Crawford, for instance, are few and
far between these days, but there are
still few of the veteran larrupers fac
ing major league pitchers today, and
one of the most picturesque of the lot
is Cactus" Cravath.
The "Old Cactus" has been playing
ball actively for sixteen years, and the
ravages of time have long since begun
to show, for Cravath's legs today re-
fuse to carry him around the gardens
as they once did, and there are few
sprinkles Of silver on his temples.
Cravath 81 Years Old.
But although Cravath Is thirty-seven
years Of age-having celebrated his
thirty-seventh birthday last March-he
still ranks as demon at the bat. TAX
ing toe hold and swinging from the
hip Is just as natural to Cravath as 1t
ever was. And National League pitch
ers tell you that his eye has not been
dimmed to any extent by the suns of
10 summers.
Making four hits out of five times
at bat is feat often accomplished In

The Covington team palyed an ex-
cellent game and made the Madison
boys look like thirty cents in Ger
man coin would look in an Allied
soldier hand the day the armistice
was signed-if that amount is small
enough to convey a proper descrip-
ton as to the comparison between
the two teams playing ball last Sun
day. For a team playing such ball
as Madisonville has been playin;
during the present season to put up
such a miserable defense as they did,

give them.
Covington took command in the

Babe Ruth Is a tremendously hard

Crawford and Wagner were hitters of
the Cravath type, or vice versa. Jake
Daubert, when at his best, was also q
hitter of this select type.
It is a pleasure to pay tribute to

weatherbeaten hide is impervi0us to
the criticisms that have been showered
on his head by writer's during the last
two or three years-kind criticism,
sure enough-but the kind that carries

The Madison boys were unable tc

no stage of the game was big Bob

can be called trouble. This was
when Madison scored their two lem

locals, pitched good ball, but his
teammates were unable to give him
any runs, which was due to the
great pitching of MONTE.
Covington scored two OF their

Old d. R. /. & n. W. Depot to be
Abandoned for First Time
Since Building in 1899.

Tomorrow the office and waiting
room of the Milwaukee railroad
will start operations in conjunc-
ton with and in the station of the
Burlington at Twentieth street and
Second avenue. The change was
made to abolish the use of the depot
formerly used by the Milwaukee at
Seventeenth street on the levee,
where a number Of railroad tracks
must be crossed in reaching the
place from any place in Rock Is
land.
It is not generally known that
the abandoned station is the prop
erty of the d. R. I. & N. W. railway
company, and that the Milwaukee
occupied it only, as a tenant. The
structure was erected in 1899 for
the d. R. l. & n. w, which ceased
operations in 1901, according to ].
A Conwell of Davenport, chief dis
patcher. The Milwaukee, which
succeeded the D. r. I. &c N. w. IN
other respects, also took over the
station at Rock Island, paying rent.
From that time until tomorrow the
C. NJ. & St P will have occupied
the place.
Mr.. Conwell said yesterday that
after the Milwaukee moves ont
there will be no use made of the
station until some other road hap
pens to decide on using it. There
is a suspicion in the ranks of local
railroad men that the Rock Island
Southern may consider housing its
terminal there at some future date.
