BASEBALL MANNERS
ALMOST CHILDISH
Baycnportcrs Now Circulating Scan
daIous and Untruthful Stories
About Their Own Team.

Davenport's baseball manners are
almost childish After meeting four
defeats out of five games played dur
ing the week three being victories
for George Hardin, whom, after Me-
mortal day it was predicted. would
be easy. they are going about circu-
lating scandalouS reports concerning
their own team. The Argus. i'll view
of this fact. feels like defending Dav-
export players, who compose one of
the best teams in the league. The
trouble is Davenport hasn't the right
spirit. If the team wins, particularly
over Rock Island, the members are
the heroes of the town. If they lose,
particularly to Rock Island, they are
scalawags.
The spirit of animosity manifested
way is something passing belief.
Nothing makes the baseball people
across the river so crazy as to be
beaten by Rock Island and nothing
makes them so hilariously joyful as
to win from Rock Island. Rock Is
land is their nightmare. A week ago
today all preparations were made
and material delivered for bonfire
on the levee at night, so sure were
they that because Rock Island had
suffered a few reverses and Daven-
port had won "A few games, that the
contest over here would be decided
in their favor. But the bonfire was
not lighted.
Last Friday the Iowans were not
so hopeful and as result of that
state of mind they ventured to put
in Parkins against us. The left
handler. by Il wonderful exhibition,
held us to single hit and shutout.
Up went their hopes and Saturday
arrangements were again made for :.
bonfire, for they figured that the
Prodigals would take both games.
Again Yesterday it was confidently
predicted that Parkins would be able
to repeat his Friday performance and
there was to be a celebration. Men
were actually picked to carry Shaffer
and Parkins on their shoulders about
the town. But alas, cruel fate.
In view of these facts can you
imagine what would have happened
had Davenport won four out of five
from Rock Island?
OF course all this should be con-
sidered as paying high compliment
to Rock Islands baseball prowess.
The same is further deserved from
the fact we have never been disposed
to rub it into Davenport simply be-
cause we have always managed to
have the better team. Rock Island
did not indulge in any frenzied pro-
ceedings in 1903 waen we won 16
out of Is games, nor in 1905 when
we won IA out OF IS, nor yet. in
1907. when we won the pennant af-
ter Davenport had fiunked.
All Rock Island now asks. is that
Davenport be loyal to its own team
and above all be game, win or lose.

BOTH ENDS OF
DOUBLE BILL
Hardin's Work Helps Islanders
to Two Victories in a
Single Day.
LAST ONE GOES 10 INNINGS
Second Time This Season One Pitcher
Has Performed Such Feat
Record Weekday Crowd.

The Islanders secured revenge 'H
large quantities for the shutout handed
to them Friday by taking both ends uf
the double header Saturday. Pitcher
George Hardin was the chief agency 20
accomplish this result and to say that
George worked well does not begin to
tell the story. In the first place be
was the second pitcher of the year TO
get away with a double header. Jacob
sen of Decatur performed similar
stunt against Davenport July IL.
When one considers that Hardin
pitched with that wonderful speed
which he possesses for four and
half consecutive hours, it will have
to be admitted that he is what we have
claimed for him, the premier pitcher
in the Three-Eye league.
In his first game his pitching was
little short of marvellous. He did not
extend himself TO his limit, but even
at that. the ball whizzed over the
plate with such speed that the Daven-
porters could hardly see it, Only
three hits were made off of him and
it is an actual fact that two of these
were entirely unieserved. as George
had the batter fairly struck out before
the hit came. Warrander, who is con
sidered a weak hitter, made two of the
binkles and Geyer. who was the last
man to face Hardin in the first gam"
made the third hit. The hit made by
the latter was the only earned hit
which the Prodigals made. because
Warrander was really struck out both
times that he hit. Geyer tried to
stretch his Lit into a two sacker. but
Meloan's perfect peg to second from
right field cut him off easily and ended
the game.
Lose Ar Their Pep.
The Prodigals appeared to realize i,
the first few minutes of play that Har
din was going to trim them to frazzlc

The result was that they played a mis-

NEW ROAD

 Plans CAUGHT IN SAND QUARRY
Mexican Laborer Killed Officers Fortunate Catch of a Cargo of Contraband Wet Goods in Guise of Soda Water.

Roosevelt, Aug G-(Special Core new county road up the Tonto on the west side was surveyed by the county surveyor this week who finished his work Tuesday. NIT. Clanton, road overseer for this district will begin grading it about the goth of this month. At first it was meant to eN- tend only from the end of the govern ment grade on the south to the foot of OXbow hill on the north but on reconsideration by the county super visors it was finally decided to comply with the wishes of the people of Pay son and make a new grade over OK bow hill into Payson. This latter grade will be an easy one and the old grade which is very steep and danger ous will be abandoned. The placing of the road on the west side for such a distance will inconvenience some of the ranchers on the east side but will result m a better and more permanent thorOughfare.
 Iron for the piping across the dam is beginning to arrive while the three front sections on the face of the dam is already in place.
 The new tunnel on the O'Rourke & Co. side is in some 60 feet already.
 Two of the derricks on the dam are still working but a great many of O'ROurke & Co men have been laid off for a week or two. Many of these are taking advantage of the cessation of work to take trip out of the camp for a we'll earned vacation Conse- quently most of the stages out have been loaded to the guards with people temporarily leaving camp for the cool breeZes of the coast and mountains and to get in touch with something good to eat and also a pleasant smile from the barkeeper once in awhile.
