EXPECT LARGE
CROWD OUT TO
WATCH BATTLE
;xalo Craig and Bib Atkinson,
Mound Choices for Sabbath
Entertainment

with indications pointing toward
favorable weather after week of
sbivery drill, officials of the Rock
island and the Moline Fans asso-
cation are expecting a record
breaking crowd for an exhibition
zane when the Islanders and the
plouboys clash in the second game
: n their series in Moline tomorrow
sffernoon. The contest Is suited TO
start at 3 o'clock. Browning field,
ion of the hill, will be the scene.
THE rivals hooked up in their in
ftial encounter at Douglas park
This afternoon. The Islanders were
primed to give the champions Of
the Three Eye a real struggle for
the honors. Chances of victory all
rested with the PIows, however,
particularly in view of the fact
thar they have had a month more
of spring training than any of the
Rock Island players. Whatever the
result OF today's fuss, tomorrow's
should be much better.
y Manager Councilman of the Is
Ianders planned to use Lefty"
Hoeft from Michigan on the mound
against Moline this afternoon. His
selection to start tomorrow's game
rested between Milo Craig and Bill
Atkinson, both rfghthanders, and
each hailing from Kewanee.
Craig is small for a twirler but
has shown exceptional form and q
command of real speed He viii
be given every opportunity to prove
his right to remain on the payroll.
Atkinson is tall, lanky specimen,
who displays wonderful GOODNESS
under FIRE. His fault seems to be
too much use of his sidearm deliv-
cry. A change now and then would
benefit not only his arm but would
Improve his effectiveness.
Has 20 Players.
Fm With the start of the Mississippi
Valley league schedule at hand,
Manager Councilman has 20 play
ers, including himself Two or
three of these are doomed to go
within day or two. He has eight
pitchers, all of whom will likely re-
main until May IS. at which time
the staff will probably be cut in
two. The battle for regular berths
promises to be a lively one up TO
that time
The outfield seems to be taken
care Of fairly well. Wally Newell
n centerfield should do much 20
steady the performance OF Happy"
Bowe in right, while Preston Gray
with plenty of experience is expect
ed to keep the boat from rocking in
left field.
q There are at least two positions
IN the inf1eld that do not satisfy
the boss yet. Downey, the veteran,
at second base, has not rounded into
the playing form that was expected
Of him. With his long experience
IN the game, he was counted upon
70 I'LL in handily around the second
cushion. So far his performance
has been somewhat disappointing.
Curt Norton, the Moline boy, is
leady and eager to display the old
head. Norton is comparatively in
experienced but he has a wonder
Iui amount of natural speed.
! Clarence Hepner has played
good and bad baseball at first base.
me youngster shows promise but it
Is Manager Conzelman's desire to
have hard-hitting first baseman of
experience. If Johnny Belz of Chi
cago reports Monday, as he has said
ne would, this position should be
sAKen care of in the style desired.

RENAME STREETS.

Odessa-Many of the streets of
Odessa have been renamed to fit
Communist fancy. The old Gar
Nicholas boulevard has been named
after Commissar Feldman. Gar
Nicholas visited this boulevard
when he was last here in 1915. At
that time he went freely about the
city, frequently in an open automo-
bile, and unattended by guards of
any kind.

middle-aged white woman of medium

evident that the body had been in

all winter, and came down the Sus-

The Spring is here again, dear one,
The old, old Spring-yet new,
Sunday Morninged, Apple blossomed,
Scented eve, and tender dew,
TIE white rose through the bars has
crept
About your easement way
It's waiting blossom, miss, your face
And paler grows each day.
And over all the hills, "dear one"
The May, with tender feet
Has wandered and the land about
With blossom bloom is sweet.
The lilacs by the old white gate,
Fill all the still, Spring night,
Sweet ewes with moon, and days with
sun,
Are long and still and bright.
The river murmurs again, "dear one"
Its slow sad song of the sea,
And the voice you said seemed call
ing you,
Is calling now to me.
The violets in the dark green wood
Are waiting, day by day,
For you to come-ah, me, they'll wait
Through all the whispering May.
And the long, slow year goes on,
"dear one"
Thro fragrance, star and dew,
From dropping leaves, till bloom on
bough,
And the Spring comes back-but you
Unheeding sleep and my slow
steps go
Blind to the bloom, and the way,
Until I find your face again
In Gods eternal May.
