laughed, but It was like the snick-
ef Of the bird who sees his best
girl in the clutches Of the hand
some, stem-winding notion sales
man. The Cleveland bench began
to rock like a shed in the movies,
and from all indications, Manager
Speaker was trying to drag Walt
Nails out to suffer where Caldwell
was leaving on.
Don't know what Mails could
have been 70 fldgety about because
he hurled Just I'VE balls to retire
the side, including Konetchy and
Kilduff. who came up smiling, but
retired laughing out Of tho other
side Of their faces. You know it
takes a scared rabbit to beat the
world in a 100-yard or 100-mile run
to cover, and you should have seen
Mails pitch in those seven and two
thirds innings. Sounds like the
size of a hat, but Mails pitched 50
fast that the landscape on both
sides looked like two black lines.
From Laughter to Prayer.
The Robins ceased laughing ami
began to pray. Wheat and his knit
ting cut their act to a 1-run melo-
drama, with the affrighted Mails as
Jack Dalton, iris Speaker as the
blonde hero. the knockout flapper
in box No. 202 as the heroine, and
themselves as the harmless, but
ambitious village choir. The Rob
ms prayed that Mails should not
be so hasty; that he should listen
to reason and quit fidgeting with
those corners. But the Robins
were all out Of luck. like Earl
Shannon when there's betting to be
done.
Nails curves spoke five Ian
guages. mostly Yiddish; for, as one
would trim corner OF the gutta-
percha, it said something like "Sofr-
tig." which was interpreted az
"Aint l a darb?" The Robins
couldn't hit Mails with a parcel
post. Lo, and the Indians couldn't
hit Sherry with a Doctors prescrip-
ton. Together, they shimmied
through the rest Of the classic for
as many runs as Aphrodite has pro-
lection from these goshdarn changes

mention in a flea's diary.

nIen cRIDDERS
INVADE kEokuk
By sALBI Al,

Coach Kimmel and his Rock Is
land high school squad. Is strong.
left this afternoon for Keokuk.
where they are expecting to take
the Keokuk high school squad In
tow tomorrow afternoon. This II
the first real game that the Island
ers have played this season. and
they are going to make . strong
tight for the honors.
The dope looks good for the To-
Gals to come out with the big end
Of the score. although nothing def
mite Is known about the Keokuk
squad. This will be the fourth
game for the high school men this
season. H
It Il reported that the Keokuk
squad, although having . strong
backfield, il weak in the forward
wall. It is in this department that
the Islanders are strongest. Rock
Island has one Of the strongest
lines in these parts this year and
the present forward wall is every
bit as heavy and has more fight
than last seasons. If it II true
that the Keokuk line proves weak,
it will be there that the Islanders
will make most Of their plays, as
they did last Saturday against the
Moline Foresters.
Touches Up. Poor Spots.
The coach was not satisfied with
the showing made by the squad
last week in its air attack. With
this in mind he has had the squad
hard at work every night perfect
ing q good forwarding attack. New
formations were given out and the
scrubs were used to try to block
the passes. This was the one de-
partment that the locals fell down
on, but after q weeks drill they
ought to use the pass with success
tomorrow.
Duncan will start at quarter in
place of Shelter tomorrow. Dun
cans shoulder Is healed by now
and as he has had more experience
at quarter than Shelter, it was
thought best to have him start the
game. Shelter will be used al
either quarter or half. Harper
and Blankenburg will play the
halves with Henke at full. Both
Harper and Blankenburg we're out
every night this week and showed
good form. At the ends will be
Pannell and Littig. Anderson and
Hall will start at guards. Ander-
son was shifted from guard tc
tackle when Henke went into the
backfeld and last week played a
good game at his new position.
McCollister and Campbell will
play guard and DOMAIN will start
at center. DOMAIN has been shak-
ing a mean toe these last few eve.
nings and he will probably do the
drop and place kicking tomorrow
Those Making Trip.
Following are the men who made
the trip:
Center-Doman; guards, McCol.
lister, Campbell. Ash; tackles. Hall
Anderson; ends, Littig, Pannel
Schmidt, Scheuermann: quarter.

MANAGERS SAY:
WILBERT ROBINSON:

What did I tell you! No club
in baseball could have beaten the
combination of pitching. fielding
and timely hitting that my boys dis
played. Sherry Smith breezed
through just like I knew he would.
He couldn't help but get stronger
all the way through, feeling that he
could take a chance and have the
boys back of him. We've put away
two OF Speakers three pitchers and
found another one nothing to worry
about. Now we'll get Coveleskie
and the series is over"
IRIS SPEAKER:
"A bad first inning told the whole
tale. Caldwell was off form and
the damage was done before he
could be relieved. We haven't lost
hope, however, and we're far from
giving up. A day off will help the
pitching staff and when we get back
home the boys are bound to go a
little better. The series is not
over-not half over. Well win"

Silk Hosiery Jobber
Predicts Better Market

One Of the largest hosiery jobbers in
the city believes that the majority of
retailers are making mistake in fgur-
ing that the consumer market for silk
hosiery viii not recover. He outlined
the present condition in the silk hosiery
market as follows:
For two years retailers speculated in
the rising market and st the beginning
Of this year found themselves with large
stocks on hand, as result of their
heavy buying and the switch of fashion
from silk to wool hose for winter wear
BY both men and women. Then followed
the break in the raw silk market which
shock the confidence of the retailers in
prices They are not buying additional
supplies now, being concerned mainly
with ridding themselves OF their present
stocks
The jobber in question believes that
with lower price for silk hosiery the
market will resume its activity, although
the speculative buying of both jobbers
and retailers will be eliminated. Mills
si present are heavily stocked with silk
hosiery, ne asserts, and are willing to
accept almost any reasonable offer.
When mill salesman approaches me-"
be said, and offers gods at s24
dozen, hesitate to bid SIS for fear he
viii accept"

James L. Foye, on trial charged with
stealing $3s 200 worth of jewels from
Mrs. Regina V. G. Millheiser when q
clerk at the Biltmore, pleaded guilty

Judge James 7. Malone, who presided
at the trial.
Just as the summation was to begin

court, McGee announced that his client
desired to plead guilty as charged in
the indictment. He was remanded to
the Tombs.
In the afternoon Foye. who had taken
the stand in his own behalf, had en-
phatically denied that the Jewels pro
duced in court by Assistant District
Attorney Alfred J. Talley were Mrs.
Millheiser's. He admitted that he dis
posed Of the jewels, but insisted that
they were given to him by young
woman whose name he intended to
shield even if he went to jail FOR doing

of these jewels that they probably
were stolen property, but again he in
sisted that they were not the property

ing to sum up to the jury. Foye forgot

of Mrs. Millheiser's jewels have been
recovered. Since his arrest. Foye has
been a prisoner in the Tombs under

Firemen Are Hampered
By Low Water Pressure
Blaze Does 100000 Damage
in Brooklyn Lead Factory
Before 1t Is Controlled

Low water pressure hampered the
work of firemen at blaze in the two
story factory Of the Atlantic White
Lead Company, on the Brooklyn Wa
ter front between Gold and Marshall
streets, last night, and before the
flames were controlled 100000 damage
had been done.
Residents in adjoining tenements
were turned out by the police and
watched the fight from the street. The
fireboats George B. Mcclellan ana
Gopher Mills were summoned by Dep
uty Chief O'Hara to keep the flames
from an adjacent structure containing
linseed oil in large quantities.
Michael Clark, a fireman Of Hook
and Ladder Company 1903, was slightly
cut by falling glass. Police reserves
from the Adams and Poplar Street pre-
