CARSON WINS
Second Team Defeats Reno
in Relay Race

The thirty-mile relay race between
the second teams of the Reno and
Carson City cyclists, took place in
Carson Sunday and resulted in a vic
tory for the home boys.
Two carloads of Renoites came
over to witness the event, and did
considerable good natured roofing
for their boys, who were a manly lot.
The day was all that could be asked
and the attendance was fair. H. B.
Van Etten was selected as referee.
The Reno riders were A. Aguayo, B,
Aguayo, Brundage, Barber, Hammer
smith, Savant, Conway, Simas, Will
Jams and Strausburg. The Carson
riders were Sitting Bull. Pereni, ].
Blackwell, Grant, Stone. Downey,
Gerenomio. Craven, Todd and Godette,
The second Reno rider opened a gap
OF three-eights of a mile, but Grant,
for Carson, reduced this one-half and
in the fourth relay Stone completely
closed up the gap. "Geronemio" then
opened three-eighths on the Reno lad
and Craven lost a third of it. which
Todd regained and which Godette
opened up to nearly a half for his
finish.
Godette made one of his miles in
2:23, which is faster than several of
the members of the regular team have
succeeded in doing in races.
Next Sunday Carson City and Gard
nerville will have a race on the track
in this city. The Gardnerville team
is a strong one and undoubtedly a
good race will be the result.-Car-

MOLINE MENTION

The new book stacks for the Carne-
gle library building have arrived and
representative of the Art Metal
Construction company is installing
them. The linoleum is also being laid
by Hull Bros. The end is now in sight
and the board expects to set a date
for the opening, which possibly may
be some day this week. The idea of
an informal opening followed by the
Rock Island library board seems to
have the preference, only few of the
directors favOring set program.
Moline churches are united against
the proposed opening of the bowling
alleys and pool rooms on Sunday. and
from every pulpit in the city Sunday
a vigorous protest was voiced against
the proposed change in the ordinance.
To make the protest the more effec-
tive petitions were circulated and
signed by hundreds of names. both of
residents. men and women. and of
legal voters. These petitions will be
presented to the city council next
Monday. when the proposed new ordi-
nance is coming up for action, as
counter petition against the one lodg-
ed by the friends of Sunday opening.
The united action on the part of the
churches was part of the campaign
started by the Ministerial association
and all of the members of that organ
ization. both of the Swedish and Eng
| lish churches, spoke on the subject
Forcible arguments were offered why
Moline neither needs nor desires
more open Sunday than that enjoyed
at present, and it was declared that
the proposition is but a step toward
outwardly open saloons and Sunday
theatres, change not looking toward
the better interests of the city.
