The local team went down to Abing don minus the sen-ices of one of its best players, Anderson, the scrappy guard, and for that reason Augustana's chances for victory did not appear any too bright. Anderson's place was tak en iy Bengtson, who filled the posi tion in a most acceptable manner. SEVER rv Rl.MG. From the very beginning Augus tan a started to play basketball. Pos sessed of good wind and staying qual ities, the local team simply wore the Abingdon boys down. They couldn't stand the pace set by Augustana and were forced to call out time several times, merely for the sake of taking a rpof In tha fl rcf mfnittA nf nlav All- gustAna secured a field basket and foul basket. The Abingdon Methodists were never ahle to overcome that lead The first half ended with the score 13 to S in favor of Augustana, In the second half Hedding became weaker, the strain being too great. Augustana seeminly became stronger, making eight field baskets in this half against five field baskets in the first half. DEVOID OF ROIGHXESS. The game was almost devoid of the usual roughness. Only nine fouls were called during the whole game, five of these .being credited against the Abingdon boys and four against the Rock Island boys. In this respect it was the cleanest game Augustana has played this season. Every man on the the Augu6tana guards very busy dur-! jne "the whole came.

Roxy comes as a pitcher. Sark says he could sign a million players If he wanted to. The woods are full of them. He has 20 new men under contract now, in additioa o the members of last year's team i who are under reserve, Secretary Hayes of the Davenport club says he is pledged to Waterloo ' and will not vote to drop that city if the present Three-Eye fight lasts i) years. However, he declares, both sides are disgusted with the contest land about ready to submit the question to arbitration. The league, as he points out, should get together on an amica ble basis, and not on one forced upon either faction by law. Now that Perl Holycross has been traded off by Davenport, the manage ment is making public all sorts of dis agreeable stories about him. Last sea son, it turns out. was the first one that he ever stuck with one club all through the year. He is a hard man to handle, and Pa Shaffer found it out to his sor row. Once when it was given out that Holycross had been hurt in a fall from a street car at Danville, he had really jumped the team, being persuaded to return to the fold by means of a little extra financial inducement. When ho found that Dan O'Leary had been sign ed as manager, he asked to be traded to Danville, but Manager McCarthy did not want him. He has been traded to Saginaw. Mich., for Pitcher Flnke. Finke has not much of a record. He pitched in 30 games last year, winning 8 and losing 16. He batted .203. It is claimed that he was suffering from the effects of Illness and waa not able to do his best work. GOVERNOR PERMITS FIGHT IiOuisiana Executive Will Not Stop Couloo-OonJey Battle. New Orleans.

That nvuch discussed play, "The House of a Thousand Candles." will be presented at the Illinois theatre next Sunday, matinee and night. It is doubtful if any drama in recent seasons has aroused more comment than this dramatization of Meredith Nicholson's popular novel. Its name ! alone is suggestive of the unusual theme which pervades the story. Its mystery is delightful and its weird ness enchanting.

Mi?3 Rosabelle Leslie, a pleasing ac tress, will appear as "Marion Dever eaux," a sprightly and bewitching heroine. Each of the four acts is staged with special scenery and every detail of the production will be found consistent with the high class attrac tion that is offered. "THE WOLF." I "The Wolf, the powerful play or, jthe Hudson bay fur country by! . i Eugene Walter, will be presented at the Illinois next Tuesday night. This! drama, which is in three acts and three scenes.' possesses many novel ties and is fraught with intense hu- i man interest. it is a story or rne far north. The treatment of the theme the attempt of an American railway engineer to betray the daughter of a - Scotch settler with whom a young French-Canadian is in love is handled boldly yet skil- fully bv Mr. Walter, who has pro- vjP(j at Paf:t one climax that take3 rank with the most thrilling ever devised or the American stage. It is the duel in the dark, in which the victor is only distinguished by the glimmer of a match. it is claimed an all-star cast, each of the six characters being ideally cast, will be seen in the production here.

Mrs. Casey will sing "I'm Looking for a Dear Old Lady" and the Majestiscope shows a new reel of moving pictures. Word from Moline where Lopez and Lopez played, shows the act to be good . It is always interesting to mere men to see pretty women at odds and the recent conflict in which Gladys Vance worsted Miss Mindll Kingston created more talk among the show people than any thing which has arisen since the last marriage of Lillian Russell. Miss Gladys Vance is in vaudeville. Min dil Kingston was with the "Follies of 1910" till very recently. Miss Vance is the originator of the "mir ror dress." Miss Kingston wore a similar costume in the "Follies of 1910." and claimed in the original announcements that she was due the sole credit for Its origin. When Miss Vance saw this note in New York papers she became furious. She had been wearing the dress nearly two years and Miss Kingston had but re cently appeared in 6uch a costume. Again Miss Kingston had witnessed a performance of Miss Vance in Chi cago last January. It was since that time that the gown had come into prominence. The fair contestants fought it along through the theat rical press and by word of mouth emphasized by gestures which were the delight of those who talked with either on the subject. When Miss Vance denounced Miss Kingston in the New York Clipper. Miss King ston replied by stating that her fath er invented the original of the "sparklet gown" over 4 0 years ago. Miss Vance poked fun at this state ment as the "mirror dress" reflects the light from a "pot" by myriad of glasses pnd there were n' spot lights used 4 0 years ago. The con troversy waged so warm that Miss Kingston withdrew from the "Follies of 1910" rather than cut out the dress and claims that she means to use it In vaudeville the coming sea son. LOCAL HIGH IS NOT IN ORATORY CONTEST Withholding of Announcements l'n til Now Disappointment to Hock Island School. The announcement that the big eight oratorical contest would be hold next week came as an unpleasant surprise to many students wbo expected to en ter the preliminary. The withholding of the announcement until this time will make it impossible for th local school to be represented, as the ora tions must be filed with the principal of Galesburg high school by Friday of this week that they may be marked on composition and thought. Last year the school won a second place in the contest and it was thought that Rock Island would have a good chance this year, hut. unless the contest is postponed tUe school will not be represented. Principal Hurton is communicating with Principal Nutting of Moline, the presidf-nt of the associ ation, in an endeavor to have the con test postponed, as the basketball pre liminaries will he in progress at that date.

I. i i GET BALLS FREE Big Leagues Given a Handsome Bonus for Prestige That Eesult3. NATIONAL HAS CONTRACT Expected Fight Over Thi Feature Want ins Gets .SMW.OOO for 20-Year Contract. New York. Feb. 16. National league magnates rang down the cur tain on their spring meeting yester day by adopting the 154-game play ing schedule for 1911 and signing a 20-year contract with a prominent sporting goods firm to use a baseball of its manufacture for the official league b3ll. Little time was devoted to the adoption of the schedule which was drafted several weeks ago by a com mittee of which President Thomas Lynch is chairman. The much an ticipated fight over the official ball, however, failed to materialize. For a bonus, said on good authority to be 1500.000, the league heads closed to use the same ball that has been carried in stock for the last 16 years. In adopting it again the mag nates turned down the offer of a Cincinnati firm said to hnve been $32r,000 in 20 annual installments of $1 0,250, of which half was to be in cash and half in baseballs sup plied. CORBKCTS rOPl l.tR KKIIOR, It has been commonly supposed, even among the players, that the big leagues paid about ?T cents apiece for balls which retail at $1.25. How ever, the developments of yesterday show that they not only pay nothing, but receive all the balls they use free and a very considerable cash sum besides. The exact terms of the contract were not disclosed, but it is under stood to have been a cash offer ac companied by a $500,000 certified check and "a!l the balls the eight clubs could use in playing cham pionship games." The ball in ques tion is manufactured in Chirago and the contract commences with the season of 1912. j After disposing of this little rtetail the club owners voted to increase the; salary of President Lynch from 53. 000 to $10,000 a year. This over the magnates set out for their re spective homes. s iikdi 1 1: AnnrTEii. A schedule was adopted, the dates ! assigned to the Chicago Cubs being as : follows: ! AT HOME.
