Nont of the players were in their usual form, probably due to the fact that few of them had ever participated in match games before. Thiswill wear off, bow- ever, before they play many games. and some interesting contests are ex- j pected. The games last evening re sulted as follows: Pollnow lOOfJohn-' son 54; Wanner 100, Kennedy 6G; I Eddy 100, Ellis 50, and Koch 75 to Scheuer (C5) -Vi.

Chicago, Feb. 1C. Harry Gilinore, Jr., manager of Packey McFarland, ar rived in the city from the coast yes terday. Gilmore. said the talk thai Packey was "in bad" in California has been highly exaggerated. He said that McFarland did not lose in reputation when he side-stepped the match which had been arranged with Dick Hyland. "Packey wanted to come home badly," said Gilmore, "and he was de termined to do so, so that settled it. As for Packey being timid of meeting Hyland, is all a mistake. He beat Dick in 10 rounds and would do it over the longer route.- At that Hyland is a thwarted attempt ; at catte rustling with a pleasing comedy vein and de lightful romance running through it. the story of "In Wyoming" possesses a fascination difficult to resist. It is replete with stirring scenes and tense situations and always holds the clos est interest from start to finish. Wit . Strong Feature. While the third, act of "The Lion and the Mouse," which is to be acted at the Illinois Feb. 20, matinee and evening by Henry B. Harris' strongest com pany, is generally regarded as the most powerful epoch in the play there are many who express partiality for act two in which Shirley Rossmore meets "The lion of finance," and from her own lips receives the infor mation that her father is to be dis graced in reputation and depleted in purse. The inter-change of wit In mis act and the easy nonchalance mani fested by the young girl proves a puz zle to the man who has been accus toemd to have everybody to do his bid ding and for the first time in his life find's himself cornered by a mere' slip of a girl. Oliver Doud, Byron and Edith Barker will appear in these characters at the Illinois on Saturday, Feb. 20, matinee and evening. i- - "The Great Divide." No one who desires to encourage the management to bring to Rock Island the best that is going in the way of theatrical en tertainments should fail to attend ' the offering at the Illinois theater Sunday evening, Feb. 21. "The Great Divide" is counted as one of the really grett plays of the past few years and pre sented, as it will be then, by a Bplendld company, will provide an evening of thorough enjoyment. "The Great .Di vide" achieved a brilliant success from ltB very first performance, has broken all records in point of financial suc cess. It ran for more than six hun dred performances at the Princess and Daly's theaters, New York city. and was brought back for a return en gagement, where It played to capacity business. "The Great Divide" lias been correctly termed the "long await ed great American play." The sub- oooooooooooooooooooooooocx Piercing, Nasty Cold DAYS ARE COMING, GET READY FOR THEM NOW.

Kewanee. 111., s Feb. 16. Kewanee will w';hdraw from the Illinois, valley racit circuit at the annual meeting to be held at Aurora on Friday, this action being considered advisable because of Inability to secure a track. The fair "association has refused a re quest for use of Its fine track for, the summer races on the ground that this j harness meeting detracts from the. ln jterest in its own annual tall taces. Ject treated by Mr. "Moody In "The Great Divide" naturally is the best one upon which a vitally interesting pla can be written the mutual love and romance of a man and woman. The vital interest of this play lies in the strikingly original yet thoroughly log ical and convincing way in which the theme is treated. The man, Stephen Ghent, the leading male character, is a son of the mountains and plains, a fearless and care-free product of th boundless west. The woman, Ruth Jordan, the heroine of the story, Is a daughter of a circumscribed commun ity of an. old civilization and culture. These strangely contrasted natures, by that, mysterious law of human attrac tion and repulsion that cannot be' ex plained In words, but which Is as fate ful as the movement of the universe, are drawn to each other and held to gether inexorably to the end. i - .

"Magda," presented at the Illinois theater last evening, was affected by the storm. The attendance was poor and the act ing lacked spirit. There . was no change of scenery, and the star, Hor- tense Neilsen, was the only member of the cast who flashed a second ward robe. . , At the Family. Apart from the sing ing by Mrs. Mae Richard Casey, there is not much worth "noting at the Fam ily the first half of the week, which is unusual. Bryant and Saville famil iarly known as the two blue jays, pre sent a musical comedy sketch entitled A Day at the Picnic." This is the top liner. - Another feature to the bill is the re-appearance of, Lottie Gilson on the vaudeville boards. Miss Gilson left the vaudeville stage (or a tima on account of illness,- and her appear ance here is one of her first before the amusement loving public for a long time. Miss Gilson is getting well along in years, but she still has some of ttmt attraction left which at one time made her famed as an entertainer, and in the east gave her the name of the Little Magnet." Miss Gilson, as in the case of various other former stars, had her downfall from prominence, and she Is now making an endeavor, with the assistance of a number" of theatrical friends, to reach the height she once attained.
