Few of the fans who shivered
through the nine innings that were
enacted at the Rock Island baseball
park yesterday afternoon appreciat-
ed that they were witnesses of an inn
pOrtant historical event, that stolen
base by Dial Williams i'm the seventh
marking the decennial of similar
happening back in Indiana when the
veteran backstop was a star in the
Wabash willow league.
The event was celebrated with a
bonfire on the Davenport levee last ev.
cning, and Dial heralded the good
news to- his wife and babies in n tele-
gram that they might pass along the
word TO the neighbors who have been
searching the records of the leagues
in which Dial has held jobs the past
several years vainly endeavOring to
find him credited with pilfer.
The fact that Williams stole sack
in the game yesterday afternoon pre-
cludes the necessity for further dis
'ussion of how ii came that the Colts
we're defeated. Dear reader. when
our old friend Williams covers that
patch of real estate between first and
second base either he is opposing Il
high school nine'or else there is some
thing decidedly out of killer with the
league company that has been pitted
against him.
\ glance at the score of the game
would lead to the belief that the Colts
all were under the spell of the dope.
But that is mistake.
Poor Work by Battery
Hagerman and Moore carried off the
honors for run-getting for the opposi-
ton. \ wild throw to first in the
fifth by Hagerman let i'm two runs.
Four bases were stolen on Moore.

cision in calling Williams safe at first

caught fully by three feet, giving the
visitors their first two scores of the
game. Williams hunted hot to Van
dine. who recovered beautifully, after
taking a slide in the slippery diamond,
and pegged the ball to first. Corkhin
tried for home, but was nipped by
Rebscher's throw in from short. Had

splendid form in the two preceding
innings, retiring the side three in a

They were unable to do anything with
! McheEna, Hayes southpaw, when
there were men on bases and a clean
rap would have brought results. Their
only look-in came in the fifth. Ha-
german started off with a single,
making second on an error by Schoon-
hoven. Moore had preceded Hager-
man by flying to Ives. Thornton foul
ed to the catcher and Hediey de-
livered the run. scoring Hagerman
with neat single. Lister struck out.
There was prospect of more runs in
the fourth. when Vandine. first up.
connected safely. but all hopes went
lglimmering when Davenport executed
as fast double play as one could care
to see. Miller and Vanaine being the
victims. The Colts came close in the
eighth. but close was the best there
was in the cards for them. Lister and
Miller drew hits. hut Pete got the ball
tangled in his feet while running from
second to third.
Four hundred saw the game, the
first of the schedule season between
Rock Island and Davenport. The Colts
had II hits to Davenport's s, while the
errors were three and two. But Dav-
EXPORTS were not costly. Luck fig
ured largely. Ives, by long runs in
center. robbing Rock Island of two
hits. No one expected him to bring
down either fly. Two of the hits Sc
cured by Davenport were placed just
far enough from Nandine to prevent
handling them clean. One he speared
with his right hand by jumping in the
air about five feet. 1t was spectacular
stop. The other was from Williams
bat and nearly knocked Van over
backwards. But he came ahead on il
and got the ball to first before Viii
liams got there, although the umpire
did not think so.
G~in Tries New Route.
In the sixth Gwin plunked a two
bagger to center. and could have
stretched it to three had he not at
tempted To take short cut from
first To third. As it happened the um
pire detected him trying the trick and
called him out. Two fans in the
bleachers tainted when Beardsley
made his decision. They were Rock
Island men. One of them made a
bet that Beardsley thought the Colts
were at bat at the time. and was will
ing to leave it to the umpire to decide
the wager. Williams once lifted the
did not count for anything. 1t was Il
foul. Anyway, here is the tale in fig

The Face of Arizona.

We are informed by a dispatch rem S;. Louis that among the works of art which will delight the eye and elevate the soul at the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition is a statue. the pro duct of pr. F. A. Odermatt of Tucson II will not, we are further informed have q place in the liberal arts build ing. but will occupy place in front Of the territorial pavilion.
 II Is descrited as follows:
 "The creation is striking and has been admired by critics. The statue represents Arizona in the figure Of woman. standing with manacled hands to indicate the letters which the ter ritory is still enduring by reason of her failure 10 achieve statehood. The var ious industries of the territory are typihed by figures at the corners of the square pedestal which is made Of the marbles and building stone of Arizona"
 Tn the light Of the present apparent situation We must conclude that the description is inadequate or that Dr. Odelmatt has rot gone sufficiently into detail. The manacles are suGgss- tive enough but not word is said about the expression, without which the statue cannot be complete. If Arizona were merely awaiting state hood the expression need be TO more than ore of anxiety. But at this time it cannot be said that Arizona is awaiting statehood; she is dreading 1t. so that some other emotion than anxi- ety should be portrayed.
 We have the honor and the pleasure of a personal knowledge Of Dr. Oder matt. a versatile gentleman, who is TO less renowned as dentist than he is as an artist. Could he not have conjured up an expression of grief and pain on the face of one of his thous ands cf subjects and have inmortal!z- ed it in enduring stone or marble in the face of Arizona? If he has not done so it should be the judgment Cf the critics that he IS less true to life as al sculptor than as a dentist.

War and Commerce.

Under the head of Where Our In terests Lie" the Commercial Buwe.in of Boston discusses our relations with the participants in the far e1stern war. It divcsts the question Of ssnti- ment. the relative rights and wrongs of Russia and Japan and views the struggle commercially as follows:
 Now that the war in the far east is well under way the commercial intsr- ests Of the United States will follow it's progress with the deepest interest, and it is extremely doubtful if there be anyo-e in this country who could view with indifference the emergence from the conflict of a triumphant Russia
 For the commercial possibilities of the east are too vast and our own in terests are too great to permit of our viewing with indifference Ruszia's s political supremacy, for political su- rrsmacv as she views it. Is only one step removed from commercial surrem- acY. Unfortunately figures are not available by which we can measure our Manchurian trade inasmuch as the only customs returns come from New Chwang, whereas goods are always coming into Manchuria through Dalny. Port Arthur and VIadivos. ok as we'll
 Furthermore, these figures are Tot reliable for the reason that thay do not indicate the place ct origin O. the goods. Nevertheless it is safe to say that of the total imports into Men- Churia fully fifty ger cent come f om the United States and some authorities estimate them at seventy-five per cent.
 The principal articles of this trade in the order of their importance are cotton goods, kerosene Hour, lumbar, ccnned and dlied fruits and veg stab,e=. beer. caned milk and butter, ard c gar cites. Now. as Consul Miller points cut. EuseiG is making every effort to secure the whole of this trade for her own merchants. Tn the case Of cotton goods she has heavily subsidized a line Of ste1merips to bring the goods to Dalny end VlaGivisJok at which potts they Sil'OI A4SS C- uutS anu receive pfeISF- Cltial railroad rates into the later.or.

women outrageous and still insists that the influence of women in politi- cal life has been uplifting in spite of the occasional dishonorable woman, what can be said of those who, ig- norant of the facts devote columns in trying to bring the women into ridi- gule?
 The whole thing bears the earmaIk ks of another well planned scheme of the anti-suffragists to bring woman suff- rage into disrepute. No one has ever claimed that all women are honest or that all women would vote honestly, but when any writer devOtes columns, as some of them have, to picturing the fraudulent schemes of, at the most. a small handful of women, they must be hard-up for material
 Women have been voting in Wyom- ing for thirty-five years, in Colorado for ten years, and in Idaho and Utah for eight years and this is the first in- stance where women have been found repeating at the polls. You may rest assured that the opposition would have discovered it if any woman had ever before done such a thing
 Perhaps it would be an act of kind ness to let the opposition gloat to their hearts content over this, their first discovery of fraud by women, after waiting all these long. weary years for the opportunity

Women Ballot Suffers.

Under the head of Women Ballc: Suffers" Elnora NJ. Babocck of the National American Woman Suffrage association and superintendent of Press Work. comes to the defense of the women of Colorado, who figured in the investigation of the frauds in Colorado which cost Mir. Shafroth his seat in congress. She especially com plains because the press of the Coun- try has put forth so prominently the discovery that a handful of Denver women were concerned in the fraud. She is strongly inclined to doubt the reliability of the evidence which con uected them with the election irregu- larities, but admitting the guilt of the Handful she compares this one little slip with the many much larger onss committed by the male voters in all parts of the country. The conspicu- ousness which the newspapers have given the part played by the women of Denver she is inclined to believe to be an effort to bring woman suffrage into disrepute. She says:
 Ut would be most encouraging to witness the horrcr depicted in the writings of some of our men over the fraud reported to have been committed by q small handful of women in the Denver election were it not for the fact that they fail to even mention the frauds committed by men at the same election, which were one hundred times n thpCa h,- La women.
 We happered to be in Washington at the time Hon. John Shafroth re- signed his seat il Congress- MT. Shafroth, together with some half dozen other prominent citizens of Den yer, were interviewed regarding these reports and they were all unanimous in pronouncing the outrageous lies Mir ShafToth said that very few of the persons implicated were women, and those were at the instigatiOn of men. There were some 5,OOO fraudulent votes cast and not over 100 were cast by women, and yet from reading the papers one would suppose that women were the only transgressors.
 A prominent lawyer of Denver. who was in Washington said of 'Ex- hibit GA which has caused all these newspaper scare heads, That exhibit was not competent evidence. and would have been thrown out by ar- court The woman who accused her self and other women of cheating. simply made her affidavit and skipped. She did not stay to be crCss-examined. as anyone making such an accusation is bound to do. Everything points to the belief that she was in the employ of the opposite party.
