nears an end the play is more even be-
tween the contestants, and as a result
the gallery following the players is in
creasing.
L. w. Mitchell played a good game
yesterday, making the course in rs and
defeating c. A. Barnard handily, up
6. The Rock Islander had the best of
it all the way, and at no time was the
contest in favor of the Moline man.
By the defeat of Mr.. Barnard, Moline
is left without a representative in the
championship fight. Dr. Louis Ostrom
of Rock Island was defeated by E. S.
Mueller of Davenport.
Lone Rock Islander.
Mr.. Mitchell alone represents Rock
Island in the fight for first honors,
while Davenport's end of it is upheld
by three players. Davenport also
makes up the majority in the next two
flights and has two men in the F. G.
Allen cup flight o. H. Seiffert is the
only Moliner left in the fight for the
regular cups. He won from DR.. A. H.
McCandless yesterday in a close match,
2 up 1, and thereby spoiled Rock Is
lands chance of carrying off honors in
the class B flight. In the class c flight
H. G. Copp defeated the only Moline
man left in the race, w. L. Velie, Jr.,
by 8 up 2 score. Mr.. Copp is the only
contestant in the flight who does not
hail from Davenport. Even though the
Davenporters have it on Rock Island
and Moline in numbers, it is not ex-
pected that they will carry off all
honors.
