TALENT IS SPEEDY William Hunter. Buffalo Out. fielder, Shows Phenom ', Class in Practice. BROTHER IS BIG LEAGUER Fisher, liassett and Uhl Display Sam plea That Attract Attention Pitchers All Working Fine. W;:I'?tin Hunter, ihe outfielder wnom Krrrj Ke::ey brought rlong from Sntfalo v ith him, vrosez a whirl wind in practice yestery afternoon, and it seems assured alread that he will have a permanent pla.:u on the local ball team won by the time the league season opens. Hunter is a brother of the Brooklyn National leaguer and it is said he has the same general build and actions which char acterize the big leaguer. He covers ui ..iid a', wonderli.i f-peed while siing after long drives and he fields them in graceful, easy style as though it required no effort whatever. He has a good throwing wing also. It Is the left wing which he uses and with it he 6ails the ball into the diamond in great shape. His batting was a fea ture of the practice yesterday after noon. Although it was his first day's work this year, he stepped out to the plate and drove the ball out each time his turn came and most of his drives were liners that were good clean hits. His speed gets him down to first base in a hurry also. Others Who Look Good. Fred Fisher, the auburn-haired back stop from Buffalo, is another who re ceived considerable attention yester day afternoon. The big fellow goes to work quietly and plays great ball. He has a good whip and is able to line them down to second like bullets. He didn't have his batting eye work ing yesterday, but his friends say it was merely asleep, as he Is a corking hitter. Lester Bassett, in centerfield, the recruit from Blue Island, looked very promising. He batted well and covered considerable ground in the outfield. Fred Uhl. the latest addition to the Islander list, covered first base during most of the practice and showed up very well. It is quite ap parent that he is a fast fielding first sacker and it now remains for him to show what he can do with the bat Pitcher Workins Well. The continued pleasant weather has allowed the twirlers to limber up in short order and yesterday they were allowed to let themselves out to some extent for the first time since practice began. Apparently there is not a lemon in the buncn or nine twiners who are trying for a place on Manager Tighe's staff. Critical fans who are watching the workouts of the men are glad that it is not up to them to select the four or five from this number who will be retained on the real Islander team after May 4. Whatever else happens it is assured that some mighty good men will have to be dropped. Frank Lakaff is of course practically assured of a berth on the team and that leaves eight men thus far to fill three or four places. With men like Walter Queis- ser, Grover Engman, "Pug Cavet, Mar shall Comingor. Read Pickering, Harle Wagner, Pete Janicki andPearly Blen ner to choose from the staff certainly looks fine. Engman and Wagner especially did good work in practice yesterday afternoon, and it is going to be a task for Manager TIghe to choose which of this bunch of stars he wants 0L.eary la Laid I'p. Dan O'Leary was unable to take part in the practice yesterday after noon as the result of an injury to his foot which he sustained the day be fore. Dan was catching and Big Bill Jacobsen was playing first base. A high foul was knocked and both men went after it with the result that there was a collision. Jacobsen stepped on Dan and spiked him in the ankle. The injury stiffened the Joint and Dan had to hobble about yesterday. The injury is not serious, however and Dan will be in the game Sunday when the squad will be divided Into two teams and pitted against each other for the first game of the season. More Inlanders Report. Two more Islanders got In today and reported to Manager Jack Tighe. They were Roe Kynett, the center field re cruit, and Earl Graham, a second Back er. With one or two exceptions the ranks of the Islander recruits are now complete. James Davey, the Mans field, Ohio, shortstop, and First Base man Slattery are still due to arrive, and are expected tomorrow. KLING TO REPORT SUNDAY Manager Chance Receives Telegram from Reinstated Player. Louisville, Ky., April 1. Manager Chance has received a telegram from Kling that he would report In Louis ville for duty on Sunday. He said he was glad that the matter had been ad Justed and that Kling would show up for work. Manager Chance was not the only one who showed signs of Joy at the welcome news, for all the friends and admirers of the Cubs were delighted to hear that the catcher would soon be back on the job. Weston at Wllburn, III. Peoria, 111., April 1. Edward Pay son Weston passed through Chilli cothe, north of here, last night, walk ing rapidly to reach Wllburn, 111., nine miles from Chillicothe.

An old fiddlers', musicians' and danc ers' contest will be held next Tuesday evening at the Illinois theatre. Many old fiddlers, musicians, dancers, and vaudeville acts have registered for the contest. Old-timers brought to gether in this manner is of rare occur rence, and it is certainly an amusing feature to see them contesting for prizes. A committee of local citizens will act as judges and award the prizes to the successful contestants. Forty six contests compose the program, and there will be a handsome prize for each contest. A full list of prizes will be announced later. HOWARD HIT IN OWN SHOW. Joseph E. Howard, who has written more popular song hits than perhaps any . other American composer, has purchased the eastern producing rights of "The Goddess of Liberty" from Mort H. Singer. Mr. Singer has on tour the original Princess Theatre com pany, with Sallle Fisher and George Parsons at its head, and Howard is displaying the musical comedy in east ern cities. ; Howard is an actor and singer, as well as a music writer, and is himself appearing in the ' leading masculine role. Stella Tracey has the part played by Sallle Fisher In the original company. At its premier at the Walnut street theatre, Philadel phia, the eastern "The Goddess of Lib erty was voted a big success by the Philadelphia critics and the work of Howard was accorded special praise. Howard wrote the music for "The God dess of Liberty." Howard's pretty as follows: Waterloo, 4,229; Dubuque, 4,163; Nock Island, 3,826; Davenport, 3,691; Peoria, 3,682; Bloomington, 3.- 916; Springfield, 3,803; Danville, 4.452 " "SSSS i Eddie Halley, the third baseman who has helped win five successive pennants, arrived In Davenport yes terday, but he was the 13th man to join the squad, so it's evidently all off now. The Distillers gained four recruits yesterday but they lost one. Axtell, the St. Louis twirler, packed his grip and left for parts unknown. He shook hands with all the ball players when he retired Wednesday night and he hasn't been seen since. Manager Rowan is at a loss to know what be came of one of his most promising pitchers. Axtell was not given his re lease nor did he ask for any leave of absence. He Just "blew." George Daly, the Springfield star last season, has not been right since he , went south to Join the New York Giants. His arm has not yet reached the condition It should be In but he will be retained until he is able to show what he Is worth when In good shape for work. Patrick, also of Springfield, had to be sent home from Cleveland on account of illness. George Harden, Rock Island's premier pitcher of last eeason, who is trying out with Detroit, is set down as the slowest man of the bunch to develop. He was taken from the southern squad with Manager Jennings when the team was split last season, as it was expected that the work at San Antonio, where his division went, would do him some good. The pair will meet In what is sched uled to be a ten round boxing con test. This will be the tMrrf meeting between these two clever little fel lows, their two previous contests re sulting in draws of 25 and 23 rounds respectively. DORANDO BEATS INDIAN Italian in SO Mile Marathon With Longboat Almost Collapses. Pittsburg, Pa., April 1. Not more than 25 yards separated Dorando and Longboat at any point in a fast 20 mile race at the exposition hall last night, and It was by that distance that the latter lost the race to the Italian. Dorando-s time was 1:51:08 2-5, with in four minutes of the record which Ljungstrom, the Swede, established in New York about a month ago. Doua do took the lead at the start, but sur rendered it to Longboat after the sec ond mile, and during the next five miles each lost It, twice, but in the seventh Dorando regained it to hold to the finish. Dorando nearly col lapsed at the finish. Taft Meets Ball Players. Washington, April 1. Baseball play ers had their innings at the White house yesterday.

FIGURES TAKEN AT KEOKUK Dam Being Erected There, With Min. imam Flow of 80,000 Will Gen erate 200,000 Horsepower. Keokuk, Iowa,. April 1. At the present stage of water in the Miss issippi there is flowing southward between 50,000 and 60,000 cubic feet of water per second. At the highest stage of flood water, according to statistics that have been gathered by the Keokuk & Hamilton Water Power company, there has been a flow of 375,000 cubic feet of water per second. There Is a recorded mlnlmuni of 24,000 cubic feet. The average at a very low stage of water is from 25,000 to 35,000 cubic feet. The contract with the government, or rather with the plans that have been approved by the war department, provided that there shall be a continuous flow through the dam spillways or through the power house of not less than 20.- 000 cubic feet per 6econd, that is if there is naturally that much flowing in the bed of the Mississippi. No water can be stored above the dam when the river is discharging less than 20,000 cubic feet. During the night when there will be a much smaller demand for power than during the day time, water will be stored above the dam for use as it may be required, but this storage process will not cause a much greater fluctuation in the level of the lake than one foot, and not often that amount. Will Glre 200,000 Horse Power. With a minimum flow of 30,000 cubic feet in the Mississippi the Keo kuk plant will be able to generate 200,000 hoYse power of electrical en ergy. The ability to store water win enable the company to easily produce the requisite amount of power during the very lowest stage of the river. The dam that is above the founda tion and to the water will be built in sections, so that the water will have a passage way during the period of construction. This can afford relief should there be a high stage while the dam is building or during any portion of the period. thing In it will be in good condition for a new start in the business. Mr. Hopp now controls the Hopp theatre and Lyric picture house in this city and the Elite in Davenport. SENATE FAVORS RIFLE PRACTICE IN SCHOOLS Passes $100,000 Appropriation for Purpose Urged by Both Taft and Roosevelt. Washington, April 1. The senate has passed unanimously the senate bill appropriating $100,000 for rifle practice in the schools and univer sities of the country and among ci vilian clubs. This bill has been en dorsed by the . war department and by the National Rifle association and has received the support of Presi dent Taft and ex-President Roose velt. There are at the present time 93 universities, colleges and schools where army officers are detailed with an enrollment in the military depart ment of 22,910. These include the agricultural schools which receive ap propriations under the Morrill act. Of this number only 3,239 receive outdoor instruction and 9,748 gal lery practice. In addition to the above institutions there are 28 pri vate military schools with an ap proximate attendance of 2,500. Through lack of proper facilities, such practices as they have is of little value. The proposed appropriation is to be devoted to civilian and school-boy rifle practice. An interesting exhibit of what Is being done In other coun tries to promote rifle practice among civilian rifle clubs and in the schools accompanied the report made by Sen ator Briggs. In Canada the Dominion Rifle association receives annually from the Canadian government a subsidy of i5,000, besides a full allowance of ammunition, amounting to 100,000 cartridges each year.
