HOWARD PROVES A PUZZLE
Gives Half Dozen Scattered Hits While
Islanders Take Four--Novacek's
Timely Smash.
Rock Island at Peoria.
Cedar Rapids at Decatur.
Dubuque at Springfield.
Clinton at Bloomington.

Peoria, ILL.,, July 22.-Howard's SUI
perb pitching and hitting at the right
time by the visitors was responsible
for the victory of the Islanders here
yesterday afternoon. Howard was
touched safely six times, but not AT
times that told in the scores, while the
Islanders got only four, but they bunch
cd them and shut out the Distillers.
Novacek's three-base hit and the field
ing of the Islanders were the features.
Novucek-s Sat Conidcs with Ball.
The Islanders did their scoring in
the fourth inning, when Wilder passed
Starke. Murphy singled and Novacek
lifted high one to center Lee mis-
judged the ball and Starke and Muir
Dhy sprinted home Score:

Squibiets.

You're the goods, Howard.
Mr. Howard was puzzle, sub; yes.
sub, and that's all there is to it.. sub.
Starke performed faithfully and well
got hit and run and made no
errors.
Lee redeemed himself for his poor
Judgment of Novacek,.s triple by rob-
bling Wise of a certain triple.
The Peoria reporter says that things
might have been different if a large
galaxy of ifs had not turned the
tide. That little dog has been travel
ing on our toe all season, but Peoria
has it now.
The Peoria Star hailed the coming
|of the Islanders yesterday with this:
''The champs come today 1--WE use the
word champs merely as a matter of
courtesy" The probabilities are that
the Star will feel little more respect
for the champs" for the instant, at
least.

The Decatur Review has the follow
ing about the O'Brien of the Dubs:
There was time when the Rancor-
Gus Rowland, the Truculent Tim and
the Maleyolent Mickey got on our
nerves. but that was when we were
not feeling very well ourselves. In
our present state of robust health
thev are merely harmless and anus
ing. l. may be that they have been
schastened, too, by the buffetings of
this cruel world. Anyway, the fear
some fangs which they used 10 bare
at every trifle and cause the children
to shudder now seem ridiculously in
offensive. The small boy is no longer
afraid to hurl derision at them as they
leave the grounds"

When Japan Cleans House.

The unexpected Japanese gnest smiled
at the dismantled drawing room, made
his way carefully between broom and
pail Of water. and. kicking aside
bar of soap that had nearly overset
him, he said:
"You call this houseclcaning. Well,
in Japan we'd call 1t nothing We are
required by law over there to have four
housecleanings year that are. indeed,
housecleanings. Everything goes out
In the street. Everything down to the
bare walls must be taken from every
japanese house four times a year aud
set out upon the sidewalk: then al
must be thoroughly cleaned. Last Of

infect and fumigate the cleaned dwell

Sources Of Danger to the Artificial
Banks Along the Mississippi.
People who know little about our
system of levees, the artificial banks

only enemy with which the levees have
to contend" said Baton Rouge man.
"On the contrary, the levees, both
during times of flood and low water,
are subject to the mcessant attacks Of
living foes, the destructive work Of
which costs millions of dollars. These
foes are alligatOrs, turtles, muskrats,
field rats, fresh water terrapin and
crawfish. OF all these burrowers that
