Proposition Rock Inland, Kockferri, El
gin. Aurora. Jollet, Peoria, Illoomlngton
Uecatur. Danville, and Springfield.
A 10-club Illinois baseball league is
a next season's possibility. A move
merit has been directed from here by
M. II. Sexton and L. d. fvJdy, presi-
dentand secretary respectively, of the
Kock Island club of the old Western
association. The cities composing the
proposed circuit are:
Hock Island. Kockford, Elgin, Au
rora and Joliet on the north, and
Peoria, Bloominston, Springflield, De
catur, and Danville on the south.
If the towns mentioned evince the
proper spirit it is rrobable a meeting
will be palled in the near future to
discuss the project, and perhaps
organize. All are considered number
one ball towns, and it is firmly be
lieved bv many who have given the
matter thought that they would make
up a Zeairue that would not fade as a
snowball before old Sol, as has been
the fate of the Western association
the past couple of seasons.

Makes Accurate Playing Difficult and
Winter Sweaters Desirable Excellent
Showing of John Good. Who Loven the
Previous 9-Hoie Record of 43 Out of
51 Starters 47 Turn in Complete Scores.
At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the first pair left the tirst tee at th
Rock Island arsenal ro:f jrrounds on
the rounds for the men's champion
ship cup. Iroiu that time until
o clock, a pair started every lew mm
utes and. the course was crowded
throughout the afternoon. Out of
total of 31 entries 51 members started
and 47 turned in complete scores.
The course was iu perfect condi
tion, but the weather was not all that
it should have been. A stiff north
wind made accurate playing on ex
posed parts of the course difficult
while at the same time it made win
ter sweaters desirable
The most noticeable work of the
dav was that of John Good, who came
in in an excellent 42. lowering the pre
vious D-hole record of 43, and at the
same time forging to the front as a
prominent 'candidate for the club
championship.

STILL ANOTHER SOLUTION.
Suggested Th.it the Warehouse be Italit
by Popular Subscription.
Another solution of the much
vexed levee warehouse problem has
been suggested, to the effect that the
building tie erected by popular sub
scription on the part of the business
people; that the house be for the use
of all boats landing at Kock Island,
all to share equally in the privileges,
and that no one be allowed to procure
a controlling interest in the property.
This would seem an easy way of set
tling the matter.

they were arraigned lefore Magistrate
J. T. Stafford and the hearing contin
ued until Saturday morning at U
o'clock. Each furnished bonds in the
sum of f 200. The indications are that
the case will not be prosecuted, the
theory being that the boys wero more

True Economy
Stein-liloch Co.
In clothes buying means getting
the greatest possible measure of
satisfaction and intrinsic value
for the smallest price.
A suit or overcoat which is dis
appointing to you iu either ser
vice or style is not cheap at any
price.
Slein-Bloch clothes are built
with a view to giving the wearers
the requisite strength, stylo and
beauty, which make these clothes
successful competitors with the
product of lirst-grade merchant
tai!ors at about half their price.
Extreme fancy patterns limited in quantity to about the
same amount of garments as your tailor would have, ensuring
for you that exclusiveness which is the chief inducement to
have your clothes made to measure.
But one measurement, one "try on," your clothes ready to
wear immediately, and money back if you want it.
