.PENNANT WINNING
FANS NEEDED, roo
Davenport Lacks That kind-5ears a
Lesson for All Good Baseball
Cranks.

Over in Davenport they are talking
about that "hoodoo." Well. maybe
there is a hoodoo but it is not a vague.
mysterious something that the Daven-
port fans profess 10 believe it is. Man
ager Hayes hired men could explain
it but it is not given TO them to do
much talking. particularly at this
stage
The truth is, TO win remnants it
takes not only a team OF good ball
players, harmonious among themselves
and well managed, but pennant win
ming fans, too. Davenport hasn't the
pennant winning fans. The town fur
nishes three good lessons To support
ers of the game who are earnestly try
ing to help their team win the pen
nant: Ii shows Conclusively that
when the whole town undertakes to
manage a ball team it is pretty sure to
make botch of it; that il doesn't pay
for fans TO bulldoze players, and that
when the moral support fails because
a game or two is lost, the organization,
however able and well managed, is al
must sure ~ ~ " pl6CCS.
Davenport is guilty of at least ali
these mistakes. Manager Hayes has
always been able TO get a creditable
bunch together, but he has always felt
obliged TO listen too attentiyely to the
advice of the self constituted board of
strategy and the organization has thus
been undermined.
Two years ago Davenport undoubt-
IDLY had the best team in the league.
The batting and fielding records show
ed it, The pennant should have been
won and undoubtedly would have been
had it not been for Rock Island and
the same 'hoodoo" that has begun to
get in its work this year Then. as
now, the players were given to under
stand that they had to beat Rock ISL
and or no mercy would be shown them.
1t is needless to say that that spirit
was carried out to the end and the
team did not beat Rock Island till
they were literally forced to do it
through circumstances over which
they had no control in the last series
of the season, and they didn't win the
pennant.
Lack of moral support for the team
was strongly in evidence last year and
is beginning to be felt this season. 1t
discourages not only the players but
the management. What it did 10 the
team last year is well known. Unless
the unforeseen happens it bids fair to
do worse this year.
There is one difference this year.
however, as between the Rock Island
and Davenport clubs. Rock Island
really has the better team of the two
now and should under normal condi-
tons win a majority of games when
the two meet.
But in regard to the "hoodoo' no
ton, ii is one that ought not TO be
countenanced among fans or players.
While the element of luck occasionally
plays a part it is never permanent
factor in determining the aspect OF the
percentage column. Good, consistent
ball playing. and competent diamond
generalship. backed by a healthy
sportsmanlike spirit on the part of
supporters of the game are what
count in the long run every time.

WARM WEATHER HELPS.
Get Rid of Your Catarrh by Using HyO-
mel Now.


Everyone who has catarrh should
take advantage of the warm weather
to get rid of this annoying and dis
tressing disease. The right treatment,
faithfully followed in May or June.
will benefit much more quickly than in
the winter and early spring.
Do not try to cure catarrh of the
head and throat by taking drugs into
the stomach Ii cannot be cured in
that manner. The only way in which
this too common disease can be cured
is through a direct application that
will kill the germs of catarTh and pre-
vent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this
1t is the simplest, most pleasant. and
the only absolute cure for catarrh that
has ever been discovered.
When using Hyomei every particle
of air that enters the air passages of
the throat and head and goes into the
lungs, is charged with healing balsams
that kill the catarrhal germs and
soothes and allays all irritation.
The first days use of HyOmei will
show a decided impFo vement. and in a
short time. especially il used at this
season of the year. there viii be no
further trouble from catarrh.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei

For the first time in the six games

two teams Hughes was allowed a trial
against the Islanders. Seven hits were
picked up, but he pitched a steady
game. The errors back of him com

was up against the same misfortune

this address, sincere as 1t was, ard doubt
less powerfully delivered, still seemed to us
to be inadequate. 1t did not surprise
us that tho White Squaw was not won by
it, though we know very well that she could
not have been squeamish about the English
language.
The story goes on to develop the tragedy
waiting to arise from this situation. There
is a chapter called "The Unquenchable
Fire. There is another entitled "To tho
Death" We find at the last maddened
man going out in search Of Aimsa. One
wild beast shrinks from him, frightened
by the insanity in his eye. A grizzly bear
opens to him his hospitable paws. In his
disordered mind the bear is the White
Squaw. He dies joyously in sufficient
embrace. Wolves strip his bones. The
reader will not complain Of the want Of
strong tragedy in the tale.

To the beautiful volumes Of the Connois-

Putnam's Sons) Mr.. Alfred Maskell has
added one on -Ivories." 1t Is of varied
merit and interest. The part for which
the author cares seems to be very we'll
done; this is the development Of miniature
sculpture from Roman times through the
Middle Ages to the Renaissance. On reach
ing modern times praise often takes the
place of description and. where a picture
of the object is provided usually seems
exaggerated.
Even in the parts which he treats most
deliberately Mr. Maskel seems to follow
favorite lines in certain countries rather
than to cover the whole field. This may be
due to deficiencies in the collections he has
studied. For Oriental. Chinese and Japa-
nese carvings he has little to say.
Few objects could bear reproduction in
illustrations better than these worries, and

charming. They do not seem to he selected

MIR. Bcnson's FitzGerald.

The remarkab bic qualities shown by Mr.
A. c. Benson in his biography OF Rossetti
appear again in the Edward FitzGerald'
Of the English Men Of Letters series
(Macmllans). He is sane and impartial
above all things. Sinking no difficulties,
yet avoiding indiscretion, stating the facts
effectively and leaving the reader to draw
his own differences, and critioizing with
obvious fairness. His sFitzGerald." how
ever, will not please the Omar Khayyamites;
in some respects it will satisfy nobody.
The reason Is that he has little sympathy
with his subject and no very high regard
for his work. He looks on him as q man
who frttered away his life and his talent
who is interesting for the friends he had
and the letters he wrote and whose poetioal
work Is respectable. but overestimated.
That Is, perhaps the inevitable reaction
from fulsome laudation and possibly not
Q wholly unjust estimate in biography
where the writer must take his place by the
side Of other English writers.
FitzGerald none the less, was no George
Borrow. His failings and whimsicalities
could have been put in different light
by biographer who had some fellow feeling
for him, and would not merely chronicle
his acts with somewhat contemptuous dis
dain. There is poet in him. even II the
mob applauds him. and Mr.. Benson does
scant Justice to his Spanish 'translations :"
The extracts that he quotes from the letters,
too, hardly do FitzGerald Justice. They
would not attract notice II written by any
one else and often are only worth quot
ing because they speak Of famous men
MIR. Benson cannot quite understand a
man who chose to live his own life regard
less Of conventions and chose to write only
what he pleased. His judgment Of Fitz-
Gerald is perhaps fair from society's point
Of view. but there is a Fitzgerald side to
the matter, too. 1t is an interesting book,
all the same, and perhaps made necessary
by the Omar khayyam worship, which
would have made Fi.zGerald sick.
