IOWANS WINNERS
Davenport Track Team Defeats
Moline High School Boys
in Annual Meet.
AT THE EXPOSITION PARK
Losers Have Only One Man Who
Makes Points, Wyland Taking
All Individual HonOrs.

Davenport was the winner Of one
of the best track meets ever held be-
tween Davenport and Moline yester
day afternoon at the Rock Island Elk
position park. The final score was II
to 60. The ideal day for track work
contributed greatly to the excellent
records made by the two schools. Wy
land of Moline was easily the star Of
the meet, taking first place in seven
events, tying for first in another and
winning second in one. This made a
grand total of Al points made by hinr
for Moline Had the other Moline men
been able to take second and third
place in some of the events they
would have easily won the meet. 1t
was this lack of balance that cost Mo-
line the meet.
The dashes were all easily won by
Wyland who took the so, 100 and 220
yard dasheS He made excellent time
in them all Both schools were very
weak in the long distance events and
very poor time was made. Davenport
was practically conceded all points ia
the mile and half-mile events, but Men
gel of Moline surprised both schools
when he took second place in the half
mile. Moline won first in the two
hurdle events through the work of
Wyland, but Davenport carried off sec
ond and third in both races. Moline
won first in the 440 yard race. SehneIr
easily defeating the two Davenport
men who took second and third.
Breaks School Record.
Moline won the three weight events
and took all three places In the discus
throws. The three Moline men were
tied for first, second and third places
and split the nine points between
them. Wyland broke the school record
in the shot put. putting it IL feet, s
inches He easily outclassed the Dav.
export men in the. hammer throw "a
123 feet. Moline was woefully weak
in the jumping and vaulting events,
permitting Davenport to take all three
places in the high jump and first and
second in the pole vault and first and
third in the broad jump.
The meet was the cleanest affair
ever seen at the local track and was
marred by but one decision. In the
mile run the three Davenport judges
claimed that a Moline man caught
Schwartenzenburg before he crossed
tie line and helped him over. This
was foul and although SchwartZen
burg really won third place for Moline
Driffel was given the point The poin,
could not have made any difference in
the outcome of the meet, however
The relay was one of the best races
of the day. At the first quarter Blocb
beat Olson by 20 yards and this LEAD
was maintained by the other three
Davenport men.

DEMOCRATS EXPLAIN
ATTITUDE TO LEADER
OPPOSITION TO CHAMP CLARK
MISlNTERPRETED
Three congressman Tell Why They
Voted for FitzgeraId's Amend
ments to House Rules.
Defend Action

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Another
explanation was Forthcoming today as
to the course of certain Democrats In
opposing Minority Leader Clark last
Monday by voting for the Fitzgerald
amendments to the house rules.
Representatives Keliher and Peters
of Massachusetts and Francis Burton
Harrison of New York issued state
ment in which they asserted that SO
generally had the action of the Demo-
Gratis who voted for the amendments
been misrepresented and misunder-
stood that they wished to present to
those interested the facts.
The amendments are defended as be-
ing very effective in the curtailment OF
the power of the speaker.
Referring to the fight in the house
the three members say that when Mr..
Clark offered his resolution he refused
any Democrat a chance to speak.
"And then he did the very thing we
members have been deprecating and
fighting against for yeWrs. He moved
the previous question:" they stated. sit
ponents, but when the muzzle was
clapped upon us by our own friends
we protested and successfully"
The Clark resolution is attacked be-
cause of the Democratic members pro-
posed by Mr.. Clark for the committee
of fifteen. Not one came from Colo
RADIO, Illinois,, Indiana, Massachusetts,,
Ohio or Pennsylvania, with nearly one
third of the total Democratic member
ship in the present house.
Every man except Representative
Hitchcock of Nebraska represented a
southern state.

The antelopes of Africa are most in
teresting from a huntsman's viewpoint,
as they are extremely difficult to shoot.
Very shy and quick, it requires an un-
erring aim to bring them down, and
only the best shots are successful.
Three Species Abound
In this rare hunting ground the
American party will find three species
of the hartebeest. the oryX, the sable
antelope, the roam antelope, the orib1,
the lesser reed buck, the water buck,
the steinbuck, the Gland, the greater
and lesser kudu, the gnu and the bush
buck. All these various species of an
telopes have keenly developed escaping
faculties. Wart hogs, jackals, hyenas
together with a host of cranes, bus
tards and other feathered varieties, all
help swell the population of the animal
kingdom in this region.
No hunters can ever be said to have
enjoyed all the experiences of the At
rican jungle without an adventure with
wild dogs, which roam in packs and
are the dread Of the natives. The cry
of these animals is not unlike that of
leopards or smaller game, and once
heard the natives fly to the tops OF
trees. These mongrel dogs have low
bodies, covered with thick, bushy hair
A hunter wounding a wild dog must
according to the ethics of the chase
pursue and kill the wounded canine.
The fish of the inland lakes, in which
is found the hippo" are unpalatable
and the Roosevelt party will subsist on
flesh and fowl. There is an abundance
of wild duck on Naivasha lake. where
the hunters will doubtless spend much
time. Once killed, all this quarry must
be Immediately prepared for transpor-
tation, and skins and hides sailed and
dried to make preservation certain.
There is hunting all the year round
in British East Africa, but the season
of the big rains" from the end OF
January to the end of April, is not one
generally chosen by the hunter. There
is also a short, rainy spell about Oc-
tober and November, which, however
is not regarded as an obstacle to hunt
ing.
