HOLLAND HAS MADE
no REFLECTIONS
Has Heard No Complaint Regarding
This City From Umpires-Two
Officials in South. Also.

President Holland in conversation
with an Argus representative Saturday
said there was absolutely no truth in
the statements attributed TO him that
Rock Island is a rowdy town or \
difficult town for umpires to oficiate
in, Bloomington hot air writer's to +ba
contrary notwithstanding. He said
there had been absolutely no complainr
from any umpire regarding treatment
at Rock Island. 1t is gratifying 70
know that the Islander that has been
circulated does not emanate from Pres

Speaking of the double umnire sv
tenn in Rock Island, President Holland
stated that he had decided upon thai
course with the best of intentions and
with a view to giving the patrons ot
the game the best decisions possible
that he had sent Carruthers here with
that end in view and from the recon-.
Imendations that backed Daub's appli

as good a man as Carruthers. In q
fight between teams that were all elig

hope and desire that the best umpirine
possible be provided.
When asked if there would be twl
umpires in the south end of the cir
cult during the remainder of the SEA

ed an easy bunt into a hit. Happily
it cost nothing.
OLeary is nursing the hope he will
be back in the game tomorrow and
Berger in a couple of days. The in
juries of both are painful. but both
players are plucky and are anxious to
get back in the harness.
Jack Hines arrived in time to get

was of gilt edge order. When OLeary

sword and red muleta in hand, he went to meet
V1v1llo, an alert look on his face; for this
common BULL but brave and wary foeman most
worthy of his steel
The deep silence of the thirteen thousand spec
tators was as great compliment as could be paid
to man or bull, and Fuentes knew it. He knew that
the audience expected such play, before the death
stroke as had not been seen IN Spain for years, and
he did not mean to disappoint them. Still mar

loss of blood Vivo showed distress But he
had become vsibly thoughtful if realizing at last
that this was no wild sport but the end of all things
Fuentes waved off his men, knowing that this sign
OF serene courage would thrill thirteen thousand
hearts, already for him, and adjusted his red
mueta to the small spiked stick which secured it.
Then, graceful a wave which rears its crest to
breaking point, he moved toward the bull, wary
yet defiant.
Vivlo, if to prove the power and fulness of his
lungs, beloved for the first time since he had en-
tered the arena he hurled his dark body upon the
fighter, his huge head down. The muleta met his
horns and smothered them, to be swept up and
away while Fuentes stood motionless smiling
But to the agitation of the audience instead of fol-
lowing the muleta s scarlet wave Vivillo halted with
horns lowered to gore, and charged the man
Lightly Fuentes stepped aside, tempting the bull
again with the muleta but Vivillo would have none
of it. Then came such give and take between mans
skill and brutes terocious cunning that the audience
lost all self consciousness in watching.
Nearer and nearer Fuentes and Vivillo drew to
the barrier. Now they were close to Number

which in old days had meant choice food and sweet
caresses 1t was the call of life, and he answered it
with gratitude.
How the yelled, and the women laughed and
cried as the great bull laid his armed head against
the pale girls arm! How they clapped when he ate
something which she held to him in her hand, and
how they shouted to the King, "Pardon-pardon
for this brave bull! Pardon for Ell Vivillo!"
Dick was at her side now. He must have leaped
the barrier but did not see him until he there,
and the Cherub close behind him. Fuentes
under the royal box, asking if the prayer for the
bulls life was to be heard; and amid tumutuous
cheering, pardon was granted, with the jewel he
should have won by giving Vlvlo death instead of
life. The bull was saved. Painting, he stood by
Pillars side his blood staining the creamy wilderness
OF her mantlla. Even when the tame bull came,
with tnkling bell, to entce Vivillo away, she could
hardly bear to leave him. though she well knew that
he was safe; that his wounds would be skilfuly
tended; that he would be restored to health; and
that, in very shame (when the story was made
KNOWN Carmona must surrender the bull to
her.
But the King and Queen were on their feet bowling
to the crowd, their relatives and guests standing
behind them. The Queen turned and murmured to
the King, who spoke to some one l could not see
and an equerry hurried out of the box, moment
later the Duke of Carmona, his mother Lady Vale
Avon, and Monica We're entering the royal box
Evidently the Queens wish had been to make some
looking down at the ring, which Vivillo was just
leaving with the big, brindled leader Probably
given by him to the Corrida Real. Then, having
bowed once to their enthusiastic subjects the
royalties prepared to leave the box before the
bull should come into the ring
knew that Monica, with Carmona and the Others
would follow in the train of the King and Queen,
that they would go out at the royal entrance and
that must be near if l would have my last chance
with the girl. But it misfortune that she
should be with the royalties; because, since the
catastrophe of two days ago, the police of Madrid

wild, warning shout went up.
Two or three of Fuentes' as
slStants ran toward her; but
with a passionate gesture she
motioned them off, holding out
her arms to the royal box.
Pardon! Pardon for Nivillo,
the brave BULL" she cried.
And | knew now that this was
what she had meant from the
first. If Vivillo was brave, if
he won the respect of the King
and the crowd by supreme
strength and courage, she had
hoped to save him as other
bulls had been saved from time
to time, since, in earliest days,
Spain had followed Roman
customs. | had read of those
pardoned bulls, and heard of
them from my father-one
hero, maybe, in ten years. For
this she had come; for this
she had sat watching Vivillo's
blood flow, waiting until he
had proved himself so brave
that thirteen thousand voices
might join hers in asking the
bull S life of the King President.
At sound of his name, cried
in those dear, familiar tones as
if calling him from across the
valley of death, Vivillo raised
his head, turned his back for
the first time upon the enemy,
and bounded toward the girl.
Horrifed, the audience shrieked
at her, at him, waving their
hands, throwing hats into the
ring in front of the bull as if to
distract him from a helpless
victim. But they need not
have feared. His sides heaving
under their mantle of blood,
Vivillo's rush subsidized to
trot, as in the home pasture far
away. Half blinded with fury
as he had been a moment ago,
the kind young face and voice
loved by him since he was a
calf at his mothers side brought
Vivillo back to himself. Hope
must have quickened in his
heart as he heard that call,
