Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-09-15

The Prods and the Islanders attempt
ed to play OF that postponed game OF
Sept. 8 yesterday. on the other side OF
the river, but after, they had battled IL
innings they were still at a deadlock
to 8, and Umpire Carruthers called
the game. although there was no ap-
parent reason for not letting the play
ers keep at it. There was plenty of
light and few of the spectators had
left when at the close of the 18th he
announced that the game was over. A
crowd of Davenport rowdies surround
ed Carruthers and demanded to know
why he had called the game, and when
he attempted to ignore them, some
one shouted Mob himI" and for mo-
ment 1t looked as though that was
about to happen. One young fellow
struck the indicator holder and others
less brave began showing those in the
inner circle against Carruthers. The
arrival of the Rock Island ball players
with their bats in their hands saved
Carruthers. Just how Davenport could
raise kick is hard to conceive. Their
heavy hFtters had come up and gone
down, and in the next inning their
weakest men would have been up,
while the head of the Rock Island list
had just rolled around and the chances
were bright for score. If any kick
at all was coming 1t was surely from
the Rock Island team.
Story of Game.
Lakaff and Archer were opposed to
each other on the Slab, and they broke
about even on results. After the
fourth inning Lakaff had the better of
it. while Archer was touched regularly
for hits, although he managed to keep
them scattered In the fourth Kelly
erred on grounder by Holycross, and
something was started. Foutz doubled
scoring the Davenport manager. Hick-
man few TO right, giving Foutz third,
and Chapman and Walsh each singled,
and the result of it all was three runs.
The champs evened it up in the eighth
on two hits and a pair Of errors. Da-
wilson walked and Manusch hit and
drove Davy to second. O'Leary skied
to right, but Slattery hit to right cen
ter and Davy scored The other two
were on second and third. Archer
whirled to catch Stats off second and
the throw got away from Hickman
and Manusch crossed the plate while
Stats cut out for third. Hickman re-
covered the ball and threw poorly to
third, with the result that Slattery COM
pleted the circuit. After that each
side threatened once, but neither scor-
ed, and the game was called as above
noted. The score:

While it's a little late to print the
facts it may be stated that the Labor

year was the largest in the history of
the league, each club receiving $274.16

treasury was subtracted. Rock Island

Bloomington fourth with s347. A year
ago the division was 1927; two years
ago it was $2os; three years ago $3.50

Justice Brewer
Suddenly Dies

Washington, March 29.-David Jo-
siah Brewer, associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States,
died Monday night at 1920 O'Clock of
stroke of apoplexy. His death oc-
CURED before ell could be carried to
his bed. Mrs. Brewer was with him
when the end came. Justice Brewer
was 70 years old.
The end was altogether unexpected.
Although he had not been feeling good
for the last day or so, the aged jurist
was up and out Monday. and apparent
ly in good health and spirits. He
spent the evening reading.
Shortly before he retired TO his room,
and within a few minutes Mrs. Brewer
heard heavy fall and went to investi-
gate She found her husband prone on
the floor of the bath room. He did
not regain consciousness and died be-
fore physician could reach the house.
Justice Brewer came to the supreme
court from the federal court in Kansas.
He was the second oldest member of
the court. Justice Harlan only being
his senior. He was regarded as the
most democratic of all the members of
the court, most affable, approachable
and accommodating. He was the one
man on the bench who had proof copies
of his opinions prepared for the news
papers, and this he did constantly.
Justice Brewers death raises a SER
ious question as to the action of the
court regarding the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco company suits, and
it is improbable that the cases will
have to be retired, since there now re-
main but seven justices TO pass upon
them, Justice Moody not having par
ticipated in the trials by reason of con-
tinued illness.

session at Cheyenne, Wyo., when it
threw off all shaekles of localization
and became an international movement.
A systematic campaign of education
was carried on and it resulted in bring
ing dry farming to the attention of the
leading editors in all parts of the
country.
Educational Work Started.
Educational work among the settlers
of the west was instituted by Secretary
Burns at the beginning of the congress
and farmers everywhere were impressed
with the fact that dry farmers who
knew and practiced the fundamental
principles of dry farming were success
full. Demand for more education came
with the growth of the movement, until
daily from all parts of the west inquir-
ing about dry farming and asking ques-
tions about the problems arising in their
daily work
Has Made Converts.
The Dry Farming congress gives the
farmer the knowledge he requires for
successful agriculture in the semi-arid
west. The principles of scientific agri-
culture are being carried into the homes
of the farmers. Dry farming has
'fmade good in all sections of that
vast area between the 9sth meridian
and the Pacific ocean where rainfall
is limited and where irrigation is i'm
possible or impracticable. Because farm
ers who have followed dry farming
methods have succeeded by conscien-
tiously applying the principles of mois
ture conservation and intelligent tillage
as taught in the literature of the Dry
Farming congress, a great wave of set
Element has been started toward the
Dakotas, western Kansas and Nebraska,
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Okla
homa, western Texas, New Mexico,
Utah, Idaho, eastern Washington and
Oregon, Arizona and Nevada.
In these states and territories towns
are springing up on the sage-brush
plains and in sandhill districts, sur
rounded with prospering dry farmers.
/ Dry farming has become vital part
of the economic development of the ma
ton. Because of the Importance Of its
part in national development the eyes
of the country will turn toward Spokane
next October when the congress meets
/ and thousands will come from all sec
tions to see the evidences of dry farm
S ing successes that are now being pre-
pared in the various states and terri
tories of the semi-arid west for exhibit
+ ton in the international Dry Farming
+ exposition.-By David t. Ham, Chair
