ARE NO CUTTERS
Clinton Fans Declare They Will
Not Show Davenport
Spirit
NO MATTER WHAT THE LUCK
Dubuque Bunch Shows But Poorly in
Opening Game with Infants
Saturday.

Clinton, May G.-(Argus Special)-
Clinton opened its Three Eye league
season with flying colors Saturday.
Despite the cold weather fully LEO
people large percentage being ladies
|attended the game, which was proceed
ed by an automobile parade headed by
a band of music. Mayor Crockett
pitched up the first ball, and enthus-
asm ran high from the beginning to
the end of the game. Monte McFar-
lands eX-Davenports have captured the
hearts of the Clinton fans. So far they
have played consistent ball. and they
seem to relish praise even from their
own town as Il luxury to which they
| have never been accustomed.
Clinton, let it be said, is in the league
| to stay. One of the heaviest stock
holders in the local association said to
day: Clinton is not so foolish as to
expect TO win right along, nor do We
expect to land in the first place the
first year we are in the league Yet
we are not disposed to object to the
showing our team has made so far
But. regardless of how we come out,
we are no cutters You'll never hear
a chirp from us. even if we lose games
and money. There will be none of the
Davenport or Dubuque spirit around up
this way"
Has Had All Kinds.
Clinton has tried all kinds of base
ball - independent, Iowa league, and
now it is enjoying Three-Eye league
ball; but in all its experiences it never
saw such a miserable exhibition as the
Dubuque bunch put up here Saturday
Clinton would rather have been beaten
by Creditable team than to have won
at the hands of such Il gang of make
shifts as has been landed upon the un
fortunate shoulders of gOud-naturct
Claude Stark. The work of Johnson a
short and White at third was wOrs,
than amateurish. 1t is hoped for the
F. good of baseball that Dubuque vii
strengthen up these two weak places.
The showing made by the Infants 81
: far is a source of surprise as well a
delight to the patrons Of the game anC

maintained throughout the season, Gin

Get Your Coal Supply.

Warnings, Official in character,

to all persons, particularly in the
west and northwest, to guard again ST
fuel famine next winter by laying
in. as soon as possible, sufficient
supply Of coal to carry them through
the months OF cold weather.
1t was the desire OF the government
officials, issuing the warnings, to
avert, if possible, such a situation as
developed last winter when thou
sand of people in the rural and small
town districts Of many of the western
and northwestern states suffering
incredibly from scarcity OF fuel,
Many persons were frozen TO dealt
in their own homes, because OF their
inability to obtain supply OF fuel.
Frantic appeals from people stricken
by what amounted to calamity
were received by the government I;
but at that time, little could be done
to aid them. The railroad lines were
blocked with snow and, in some
instances, it was physically impo-
possible for the railroads to. reach
small places with an adequate supply
of coal.

Expects to visit Hancock and Speak

Following is q brief item which
appeared in q recent issue OF a
Duluth paper, concerning an
interview with Mother Jones'" q
noted woman labor sgitator, who
contemplates going to the copper
country, in lieu of the recent Red Flag
trouble which occurred in that city
few weeks ago.
"BeforeI 20 back to Chicago !
intend to 20 to Hancock and teach
those officials something about the
red flag. There are some people in
this country who need to be educated
to the fact that the red flag was the
first flag that few over the American
forces. 1t was at the battle OF Bunker
Hill that the revolutionists we're
giving way before the British on
slaught when one Of the patriots tore
of his red shirt and hoisted it on
the point OF his bayonet he waved
the first flag that ever few over this

is the mission of some of Us to teach
the people that the red flag is a flag

A Praiseworthy Fdict.

Archbishop Messmer' edict that
no picnices. excursions or similar
gatherings for the sake of making
money for the Catholic church may
be held after dark, nor on Sundays
holy days and fast days, nor where
beer and other intoxicating drinks
are sold, may strike many people as
being severe, nevertheless it is rule
which will work great good and it is
too bad it cannot be extended to and
enforced by other denominations as
well. Parents should think twice
before permitting their sons and
daughters to attend just such affairs
at just such times as the highly
thoughtful archbishop describes.
