NOTES OF THE GAME

Both pitchers were on the job, but
Clark could not keep the hits scattered
as did Couchman.
Harry. Kelly went to the side fence
twice and pulled down fouls that in
most cases would have landed safely.
Upon the occasion of his first coming
to bat Claude Stark was presented
with a bunch of yellow daisies.
Tommy acknowledged the gift in his
own inimitable way.
SIattery was robbed of two nice hits
by fast work on the part of Fremer
Both drives were scorchers between
first and second and only nice bounds
allowed the Waterloo man to get them.
The presence of the mayors Of the
three cities showed the harmony that
prevailed. There were no more en-
thusiastic rooters as the pennant went
up than Mayor Alfred Mueller and
Vice President ]. T. Hayes of Daven-
port.
Vogel and Couchman having tied on
hitting and base running yesterday,
George Bennett, the sporting goods
dealer, has decided to present each
Jersey sweater. His offer was sweater
to the one getting the most hits in the
pennant raising game. These two
players have done so well Mr.. Bennett
felt that each was entitled to the same
reward.

the arbitration board of the National
Association OF Minor Leagues, was
present and took part in the discussion.
He stated that the subject might develop
of sufficient Importance to justify its
being taken up by the body of which
he is the head and settled once and
for all.
Local Officers on the Subject.
The views of local official baseball
dom were solicited on the subject this
morning, with the result:
Warren H. Reck, president local as
sociation: There are good arguments
on both sides. We want it right. that
is ALL
L. NJ Casteel: 1T would take a
good deal to convince me that the ban
ner is not right as it is. While it is
not important what date appears, that
bunting is ours, and until some other
team deprives us of the title, it con-
veys we are the champions. Further
more. we are the champs of 1910. Just
as a president is elected one year to
serve a stated period beginning the
year after, so the Islanders were elect
ed last year to serve this year or until
their successors are elected and quail
flied"
F. o. VanGalder, president of pen
nant-winning club: THE year 1910 is
right. We were not the champions last
year and did not become so until after
the last game had been played and the
pennant awarded at the close of the
season. We are now champions in
this year of grace
NJ. II. Sexton: Il decline to express
an opinion-upon advice of counsel"
The subject is naturally one in
which the fans are all interested. and
The Argus will be glad to print any
suggestions that throw any new light
on the subject.

Pitched Magnificent Ball Against
Waterloo in Pennant Day
Game Yesterday.

pennant in the contest last decided
That contest was for the season of
1909. Hence, they are the cham
pions of 1909 and by virtue of so being
they may properly be termed cham
pions now and until another season
is ended. The only mistake lies in the
use of the year. The Islanders are
the last known championship cham
pions of a league, as 1 have said, but
not the champions of the season of
1910, which has not yet ended
Suppose" the mayor added, that
the entire history of the Three-Eye
league should be destroyed and future
historians should discover the pennant
the Islanders hoisted yesterday bear
ing the inscription Champions Three
Eye League 1870 What would be the
natural conclusion? That the Island
ers won the pennant in 1910, of course.
Therefore l maintain that it is a mis-
guided notion that the pennant should
have inscribed upon it any other year
than the one in which it won"
Converts to His View.
;. H. Freedman and Harry d. Bur
ton. representing Spaldings, who were
at the banquet, took part in the argu-
ment from opposite points of view.
They said they had heard the same
subject discussed and the same argu-
ments presented time and again, but
at the conclusion of Mayor Olson's
presentation of the case they agreed
that he was right and said that should
his view be taken by the local direc-
tors they would take the two banners
won by this city to Chicago and change
the dates gratis. The question, how
ever. has not been officially acted upon
as yet

IT AGAIN
Whether Rock Island Pennant' s
Date is Correct Matter of
Discussion.
BROUGHT UP AT BANQUET
Mayor Olson of Moline Advances the
View That Year Given Is in
Error or Misleading.

Is the championship pennant of the
Three-Eye league raised by the Island
ers yesterday properly inscribed?
The old argument. which first arose
when the pennant won in 1907 was
raised in the summer of 1908, has come
to the front again, the question being
whether the pennant this year should
bear the date 1910 or 1909 This sub
ject has been discussed not alone in
Rock Island, but in nearly every other
city where a baseball championship
has been won, and it is safe to say
that about as many banners captured
last year have been inscribed 1909"
as 1910" The generally accepted
theory in baseball circles, at least,
and the one on which the Rock Island
association has acted, is that the win
ner of the hOnors one year become the
champions of the next year. That is
to say that the emblem of glory, as in
all other fields of sports. carries with
it the championship honor until it has
been taken from the winner, and in
the light of this construction of the
term Rock Island, in common with
other pennant winners of last year,
holds the championship for this year.
Advances New Argument.
But 1t remains for Mayor Olson of
Moline, who by the way, together with
other Moline baseball enthusiasts,
is consistent Rock Island
partisan, and hence has a right
to talk on the subject, to
present what seems to be a reasonable
argument that the championship en-
blem should belong to the year in
which it is won. The old topic came
up last night following the dinner
which the directors of the local asso-
citation gave to the guests of the day,
including the battery that opened the
game yesterday, Mayors Olson of Mo
line and McCaskrin of Rock Island.
Mayor Olson argued that there is
broad distinction, technically speak
ing, between the champions of a year
and the champions of league. The
he said, ARE not the cham
pions of 1910, because the champion
ship contest of this year is still pend
ing. Hence, there are no cham
pions of 1910 at this time. The ISL
anders are, however, the champions
of the league, because they won the

ARGUS TO RECEIVE
BULLETINS OF FIGHT

The Argus will receive bulletins
of the big fight at Reno July by
rounds, having the unequaIled facil-
tiles OF the Associated Press at its
disposal. The work of getting the
story of the contest and distributing
1t to all parts of the world in a few
minutes IS a gigantic one, but the
Associated Press has time and again
proved its ability to serve the pub
lie in such emergencies. For the
coming event preparations have been
made to cover every detail and bulle-
tins received in Rock Island may be
expected to closely follow the action
in the ring.

Yesterday proved one round of
triumphs for the Islanders and the
day was one which will long be re-
membered in the ANIMALS of baseball
in Rock Island. First, the emblem of
victory won after the hard fight last
year was unfurled to the breezes and
then another victory was hung up
at the expense of the Waterloo
team, and the result was that Rock
Island and Waterloo changed places
in the percentage column, the Is
landers going into second place and
the Boosters dropping into third.
Everything went off nicely from
the time the parade of automobiles
started from the New Harper until
the pennant was hoisted, the game
started and won, and the last man
retired in the ninth. Not a hitch
or slip marred the entire proceed
ings, thanks to the energy shown by
President Warren H. Reck of the as
ISOLATION and Treasurer L. NJ. Cas-
teel.
COuchman Scores ShutOut.
Big Bob Couchman was elected by
Manager Tighe to do the heaving and
Waterloo player crossed the plate
while Bob was on duty and only one
OF them reached third, and he was
thrown out at the plate so nicely
that II looked like taking candy from
baby. Only three of the visitors
reached second base and while they
made six hits off the Islander t8irl-
er, they were scattered out one for
an inning except in the first round.
In this session there were two down
when Fremer hit to right, stole sec
ond and tried for the plate on Belt
er's single to left, but Paul Davidson
made himself solid with the Islander
fans by shooting the ball home and
catching Fremer by 10 feet That
was the only time that Manager
Boyle's bunch came close to scoring
and they never had Bob or the fans
worried to any considerable extent.
Islanders Win to o.
Couchman not only held the Boost
ers runless. but was the principal
cause Of the runs which won the
game, in fact it was his bat and his
feet which did the job. In the third
round Vogel got against one for two
sacks, sending the sphere out to the
back fence before it fell to the
ground. Bob rose to the occasion
and followed suit, his drive into right
center stopping only when II hit
the fence. Vogel scored on the drive
and Bob went to third Manusch
scratched an infield hit through his
inability to hike to first in a hurry. |
Callahan was on the bases at this
time also by virtue of a free pass
and only hit was needed to bring
in couple of runs. The hit was not
forthcoming, but the visiting catcher. /
Harrington, helped by letting a pitch /
ed ball get past him on which Couch /
man scored. After that inning the
islanders made only one hit off
Clark but there was no need for
them as Bob was perfectly safe at
all stages and the margin of two
runs was a great sufficiency to win.
The score:

LORDLY FORMALITlES.
Preparing a New Peer For His Seat In
House of lorGs

House of Lords.
Numerous formalities have to be
gone through before any new peer is
entitled to take his seat in the house
of lords
One of the most important matters
is the preparation of the patent, a long
strip of parchment, to the end Of
which is affixed the wax seal, the color
of which varies. according to the rank
Of the new member. Another item is
the robe, made Of scarlet cloth with
three doublings of ermine, the number
Of bars varying according to rank.
Thus duke has four bars in front
and the same number behind, a mar
quis one less. and so on.
Then there are preparations in re-
gard to making or changing coats Of
arms, in connection with which fees to
the extent Of about so guineas are paid
by the recipient Of summons to the
house Of lords.
Altogether the financial disburse-
ments amount in the case Of a new
earl to between 5000 and f7OO. some
Of which finds its way to the chancel-
lor Of the exchequer and some to the
crown as represented by the college
Of arms. A considerable portion Of
this expenditure is, Of course, incurred
In the purchase Of the coronet.-Lon-

A MODERN SCALPER.

cort At the end Of the first act the
middle aged man went out for fresh
air." He came back bringing the smell
Of the fresh air and gayer spirits with
him. His wife gave him startled
glance, and like fash her hand went
up to his vest. There dangling from
the top button was bunch of brown,
curly puffs. There was a dynamitical
second as the wife held the puffs in
her white gloved hand and looked at
them. Now she was not a jealous
wife-just common sense little wo-
man, ready to meet an emergency.
She looked at the heads about her.
The pretty girls back hair looked as

leaned over to the side away from the
girls escort and whispered. The girl
slipped hand down and back, and
the wife stealthily laid the bunch of
puffs which her husband had carried
away on his vest button in the owners
hand. The latter kept them concealed,
gently and artfully reached up, pinned
them into place. and escort, watching
the rising curtain, was none the wiser.

Tho Antiquity of the Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is proper
" theatrical exhibition Of the art Of
dancing in its highest perfection, CON-
plying generally with the rules Of the
drama as to it's composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as A. D. 1900. the court Of Turin in
that day making especial use Of it and
the royal family and mobiles taking
part in it. The ballet was first intro
duced in France in the reign Of Louis
XIII, and both that monarch and
Louis XIV. occasionally took part in
its dances. About the year 100 wom-
en- made their first appearance in the
ballet, which up to that time had been
performed exclusively by men. as was
the case also with plays and operas,
but no woman ballet dancer Of any
note appeared until 1870.
