But for the fact that the Imagina tion of the Chicago White Sox dinned the sound of a puffin;, clanking en glne In their ears, the Davenport Pretiels would have been treated to a most lopsided trimming yesterday by Comiskey's wnrriors as they finished their spring training season, prepar atory to the opening of the American le ague season on the morrow. As it was, Dan O'Leary's recruits went ciewn to defeat with the additional Higma of a shutout attached. Five of the six runs by the Sox were gar nered off the delivery of one Yoka ho:ua Nelson. The other one was off Hendrlx' delivery. After the Sox se cured a safe lead and were assured of the fact that it would be an easy mat ter to tack on a few runs if neces tnry, the Sox hastened things on, both offensive and defensive. COOD ATTENDANCE. When the 2,630 Prod fans bad seen their favorites trimmed, the Sox hied to their hotel, rushed to the waiting train and beat it for Chicago after six weeks on the training route.

Miss Maude Adams, in Chantecler, under the direction of Charles Froh man, in itself bespeaks success for the production as given - at the Grand, Davenport, last eight. Every availa ble seat in the house was occupied and the play was received with much en thusiasm. The company that sup ports Miss Adams is large, is beauti fully costumed and the play is hand somely staged and put on in a stupen dous manner. The story of Chantecler is simple. Chantecler is renowned for his morning song, about which there is something strange, which, is his sec ret. Into the humdrum life of the farmyard suddenly comes a beautiful golden pheasant, whose beauty wins Chantecler from his flock of hens. The owls, a blackbird, bis enemies, and a few false friends, plot to destroy him because his crowing announces day and deprives them of power to destroy and kill. The golden pheasant hears of the plot and warns Chantecler. She meets him before dawn and persuades him to tell her the secret of his power. He tells her it is he who brings the dawn, who wakes the sun with his song, and to prove to her brings the dawn before her eyes. The guinea hen Is giving a tea at 5 oclock and It is at this time that the plot to destroy Chan tecler is to be carried out by bringing In foreign cocks. A quarrel ensues, but before entering the fight, where be believes he will be killed, he cries out his eecret, "It is my song that sets the sun in heaven; it is my song that brings you back the light" The mob shouts in derision, a circle is formed and a terrific fight ensues, but Is in terrupted by the common enemy, the hawk, and his flock flees to Chantecler for protection. In the short period of rest Chantecler gets new strength, but the mob thirsts for fight and the bat tle begins again, the fighting cock wounds himself with his - own spurs and the mob turns and Jeers him from the field. Chantecler and the golden pheasant and Patou, the watch dog, are left alone. Chantecler Is iwounded and has lost his song. The golden pheasant is Jealous of his love for his flock, and while he is discour aged, she entices him to her woods away from the flock and his work, but by means of the convolvulus he keeps In touch with the doings of the farm yard. The golden pheasant Is furious and resolves to break bis faith in him self. Just then the toads appear and tell him that the nightingale is play ed out, flatter ihlm that he is the bring er of a new song, and as he is about to accept the invitation to a banquet, at which he is to be proclaimed, the clear voice of the nightingale is hard, and Chantecler recognizes a voice greater than his own. A shot is heard, and the nightingale drops dead at his feet. The pheasant watches the east ern fiky and sees the beginning of dawn, and she chides Jiim with the challenge that the sun can rise with out his song. But he arises, spreads his beautiful wings, and gives a great cry to awake the sleeping earth. Just then another nightingale takes up the song of the killed bird, and Chantecler realizes that bis work is with his flock, turns ihis back upon the pheasant and leaves her. She tries to follow him, but is caught in a trap. Assured by his distant cry that he is safe, she awa'its her capture, assured that she will lie taken to live with him in the farm- i yard. Miss Adams takes the difficult part of Chantecler in a wonderful way, and Miss Josephine .Victor, as the golden pheasant, supports her well. The oth er .parts are jn very capable hands, and the performance as a whole 13 the most elaborate 6een here this season. AMUSEMENTS.
