player on the team except the pitcher
and catcher. 1t is not to be gainsaid
that Rock Island has not suffered
through incompetent umpires. With
one exception there has rot been a ca
pable umpire here this year and the
homo team has invariably been the sui
ferer.
The ARGUS has done its best to
make the best of circumstances ard
to urge that the patronage be main
tanned under all conditions in order
that the franchise might be saved for
another year And it is gratifying to
know that the public has stood nonly
by the club, even in the face of adver-
sity as no other town in the circuit
would have done under similar con-
ditions. 1t was felt here that it was
the article of ball that was wanted,
and yet while there was no par
ticular desire to have PEN
nant winning team again, it was
expected that the team bearing the
city's name would at least play ball.
At the opening of the season THE
ARGUS was asked by many of those
interested in the club TO be as sparipg
in its criticism of the/players as pos
sible, the argument being advanced
that harshnsss on the part OF the press
when misplays were made not only
had a tendency to dem oralize the team
but to detract from the attendance.
While THE ARGUS made no pr 'mises,
it has respected these suggestions as
| far as possible during the season,
giving the players the best of it right
fhronnh with tho oxoantinn Of thraa
aggravated instances where the
public cried out for condemnation
of exhibitions too outrageous to be
passed unnoticed. And yet in place
of all the honest judgment that a
paper could have passed intelligently
on players with better effect has come
the worst element that could figure
in ball town-the persistent knock
er. Rock Island has had the knocker
this year, and he can take to him self
the credit of doing more to democrat
ize the club and prevent good playing
on the part of the team than any
thing el>e. Rock Island has had q
poor team, but the picking out
of individual players and roast
ing them constantly both on and
oil the field does not help the game.
The pursuing of any player becomes
contagion and as soon as the OBJ
ject of scorn is removed the spirit
centers on some one else, and so it
continues. One of the things that
has contributed in no small de-
gree toward the failure of the club
to come up to anticipations this
year is the fact that il has changed
players too often in it's zeal to meet
all desires. 1t is the candid belief of
THE ARGUS that carefully selected
team EN- bracing a few of the present
players should be started out next
year with the determination to make
as few changes as possible.

Rock Island Finishes at Cedar
Rapids-Scores of Two
Days.

The season of the Three-I league
closed yesterday with the games at
Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Terre
Haute and Evansville. All were
played out. although at Cedar Rapids
the contest was called off after the
fifth inning on account of darkness.
Terre Haute, of course. carries off
the Pennant by comfortable lead,
with Cedar Rapids and Bloomington
the only teams in speaking distance.
Rock Island stands next to the bot
tom on the lower round of the 400
class, with Decatur secure in the tail
end position. All teams but Rock
Island and Terre Haute have played
out their full series of 112
games, the postponed game
between these two teams hav-
ing remained unplayed. The winning
or losing of this would not affect the
position of either team and it will not
be played off. The protested game
with Davenport of week ago which
was officially recorded against the
local team has not been passed upon
by President Sexton and may not be,
owing to other pressing business, for
some time to come.
All the league officers are much
gratified by the showing of the Three-I
| league for the season and every town
now in the circuit appears fully de-
termined to begin next year with Il
better team than the one now under
contract. Already players are being
negotiated with and the manager who
waits till next spring to pick his
bunch will find ths material pretty
well picked over.

protest of President Sexton against
the proposed increase of the salary

have been given good bali and almost
all the clubs have made money under
the conditions which existed during
the present season. The league is
prosperous, why should it not be
m aQe permanent? It's future Will De
| jeopardized if the limit the players
are paid is raised. 1t is pro. able
that the stars will be missing next
season, but the rank and file of the
players will remain with their re
spective clubs, and there is plenty of
promising talent ripe for develop
ment. The people want to see we'll
matched teams in well-plsyed and
well games. An excessive
salary limit will give the larger cities
an advantage which will bring about
the bankruptcy of the clubs in the
smaller communities. Civic pride
plays an important part in minor
league affairs and often leads to the
carrying of heavier financial burden
than the receipts of a club justifies
President Sexton is right. and those
who have cooperated with him in re-
vivipg baseball in a field that was
practically abandoned should heed
the warning that he gives. AS was
to be expected, there were mistakes
and disappointments this year, but
none so serious as to threaten the life
of the league. Evansville, for instance,
made a wretched start, but the clubs
patrons were loyal and now they have
team that is a source of pride and
of profit"

A Rich Mine Located May Add Much
to School Funds.

st Paul, Nov 1S-"The reported dis
covery of an excellent deposit of iron
ore on section 49, 56-17, on the Vermil-
lion range, near Virginia, may mean
much to the school fund of the state, :"
said Land Clerk George A Finn of the
state auditors Office
The section is owned by the state,
and royalty of 25 cents per ton must
be paid on all ore mined The mini
mum amount to be mined each year
is 8, 600 tons If the ore is valuable, as
high as 100, 900 tons may be mined
each year
The lease is in the hands of strong
company and it is probable that extern
sive mining operations may begin at
once, after the value of the deposit
has been proved The discovery is re-
ported to be one of the most valuable
made in the state. The ore is hard.

RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION.
Gov. Van SAINT Announces that He Will
Fiuht 1t.

Winona, Nov. 18.-Gov. S. R. Van
SAINT came down from st. Paul Satur-
day evening to spend Sunday at home
here. When asked regarding the in
corporation of the Northern Securities
company in New Jersey, he gave on
the following interview:
"The great railroad deal in New
York, having co. its object the unit
ing of the two great competing and
parallel lines. the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern, is a matter of
great public interest. There is Justly
widespread opposition to it in our
state. l do not know that it can be
prevented, but it is my intention to
ask the attorney general, upon mis- re-
turn, to bring suit in the name of the
state to prevent, if possible, the CON
solidation of the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific railway com
panies. 1t is clearly in open violation
of the plain intent and purpose of the
law. If. under existing laws, said
consolidation cannot be prevented, |
feel that would be justified in calling
an extra session of the legislature to
take necessary steps to successfully re-
sist it if it could be accomplished by
this means. Believing il to be my
plain duty, shall leave no stone I'M
turned to prevent the contemplated
consolidation. Owing to the great
interest of our state and people it
should and will be fought to finish.
If the will of the people of Minnesota
can be trampled upon in this manner,
the sooner the fact is ascertained and
understood the better.

GETTING ANXIOUS.
Dairymen Wonder Why Pan-American
People are so Slow.

People are SO Slow.
st. Paul, Nov. 1S-The delay of
the American exposition authori-
ties in giving out the results of the
butter exhibit is arousing comment
among Minnesota dairymen. No an
nouncement of the results has been Sc
cured The dairy and food department
has re ceived many inquiries concern
ing the standing of Minnesota butter
at the exposition. but has no data on
which to base an answer. Commits
sioner II. P. Hall has no information.
The scores for Minnesota for each of
the monthly exhibits have been re-
ceived, but as those of other states are
not known, any determination of the
final result is impossible. The last lot
of butter was scored in October.
The delay is arousing much criti-
cism among dairymen. The officials
of the Pan-American dairy depart
ment are New York men, and some
Minnesota buttermakers have gone far
enough to state that the New Workers
are holding off, in the hope that some
thing will turn up.
The rule established by them that
the major part of fraction less than
one fourth should count as one
fourth, was manifestly to enable New
York to equal Minnesota's score of
ninety eight for sweepstakes AS the
delay lengthens, the standing of the
exposition management with Mime
sofa buttermakers declines
