CLARK LETS DOWN IN SEVENTH

Into VeritabIe Fiends With
the stick.

Iowa City, April 24.-Clark pitched
good game yesterday up to the sew
enth inning. One hit was made off
him in the third, another in the sixth.
In the seventh, however, the varsity
found him for four singles, Il double
and a three-bagger, allowing five
runs. Cadwallader went in in the
eighth and finished the game.
For the varsity LINDSAY pitched
SIN innings. when Schneiberg. one of
the Rock Island pitchers, was substi-
tuted in order to give the team a
brace. White played the star game
for the varsity. He had three hits
to his credit, one two-bagger. He
played an errorless game and was
fast on bases. Burns also proved
strong with the bat. Montcomery's
work behind the bat proves him SUI
perlor to any of the other catehers
tried so far.
For Rock Island Donnelly's base
running was a feature Green played
fast game at short, in the fourth
making nice pickup and quick throw
which shut off a man at first.
Graham was especially strong with
the stick, making one two and one
three-bagger, besides single. Gray.
ON account of an injury received in
Practice, was unable to play, and
Schmidt went to left field in his place
Dickey also showed up strong at the
bat and the way he covers first is a
caution.
Errors ExcusabIe.
OLeary is just as good behind the
bat as ever. The errors he made were
eXcusable. Donnelly's running catch
in the eighth was n beautv Score.

1t is now nearly three years since
water has been used as the means of
developing power, steam having been
employed entirely while the deepen

will signalZe an almost exclusive use
of water for the development of
power.

and will be a fire-proof building
throughout. Concrete arches are to
be built between the counterforts
over all wheels and the building will
rest upon these arches. There are
pits for Is wheels in the north part
of the present concrete will. Twelve
of these pits are all that have ever
been utilized. When the changes are
made the entire number of pits in the
north wall will be in use. also two in
the east wall The two extra wheels
in the east wall are to be connected
with two 75-horse power eXciters
which will supply all the generators
in the station and power house with

The Democrats have nominated the

Barnacles,

Bad lawyers,
Politicians,
Poor Judges,

These are the kind of men named by
the Democrats for the bench, with

Men who browbeat young lawyers.
Who insult lltigants.
Who give up most Of their time to

These are the kind of men named by
a back-room cabal to preside over the
