NEWS OF DIAMOND

NJ HEN baseball fans who are inter-
w ested in the fluctuations of the
percentage column of the Winter
league clubs wonder at the rise and fall
of certain teams they often allot too
great balance in favor of chance. or
luck, which undoubtedly is a great
factor in a pennant race. but merit has
played a strong part in the race for the
top of the ladder in the premier league
in Southern California this winter
The Santa Barbara club has in its
makeup some of the fastest big league
material wintering in the southland
this season, and, although luck would
be a hard combination to beat, the
teams rise to the head of the percent
age column is mostly due to class. San
Diego is another team that figures on
the dope sheet, and still may develop
into a contender for the honors, but the
northern club will be a difficult propo-
sition to beat. On this team are such
players as Carl Lewis, who catches for
the Oakland club in the Pacific Coast
league; Hunt of the Boston Americans,
who allowed the Santa Ana nine only
two hits in eighteen innings; Bernie
Mckay, the clever first baseman that
the Vernon team is trying to secure for
next season; Cutshaw, another Oak
land player and as fast a second-sac cker
as any in the league; Gus Mast,
shortstop, will journey to Musko-
gee Okla, next season with Manager
Dalrymple and play under that veteran,
who at present is holding down the
center garden for Santa Barbara and
leading the team in hitting; Kelly, the
third-sacker, will make his debut with
the Portland club in the Pacific Coast
league next season; Martinke, who
plays the left field, is well known to all
local fans as the hard hitting fielder Of
last years Vernon club; Coy is another
Vernon fielder working with the north
erners and Shafer, the extra pitcher
also is of Happy Hogan's staff.

from the start, and he has made good
at every turn. He had no influential
friends to boost him. either, at least
not TO start with. He made influential
friends. however, by always keeping
his word and by always making good.
No one has ever had to apologize for
having boosted him. He has earned
all of his own clothes since he was
years old.
The man to whom Champ Clark last
week telegraphed Il would rather make
a speech for you than any other man
in America" worked a whole year in i
country printing office as a boy at 81

case that Tavenner learned to write.
His articles are now printed from
Maine TO California and are even trans

hemian.

CORNELIUS DONOVAN FOR SHERIFF
Cornelius Donovan. candidate for
sheriff, is most fortunate choice.
Throughout the county it is generally
conceded If there ever was a time in
the county's history when a strong
man was needed for this important
office it is now, when the elements OF
lawlessness are running riot, and in
possession, il may be said, OF the In
struments OF law in Rock Island.
Con Donovan, ms he is popularity
known throughout the county, is the
man of the hour and the ideal candi-
date. He was born in Cordova town
ship, July "a, 1858. From his early
youth his life has been one OF toll.
He knows what IL is TO eat bread in
the sweat of the brow. For a few
years the family resided in Moline.
and in 1874 removed 10 Rock Island,
where at an early age Con" appren-
ticed himself TO a plastering contrac-
tor. For eight years he followed the
trade and then he established himself
in business on his own account as a
plastering contractor. He worked
hard until 1884. when, feeling that he
was entitled TO a rest and a vacation,
he decided TO learn something OF his
country by the best educational means
possible. During the succeeding few
years he saw about all there was to
see in the country and, returning 10
Rock Island, he resumed his contract
ing business, taking his brother.
Charles into partnership with him in
1892. In the meantime he had remov-
ed to South Rock Island. where he
purchased a modest little home and
where he has since resided with his
widowed mother.
He has served eight years as
member OF the board of SUI
pervisors from South Rock Island.
and has been honored with practically
every other office in the gift Of the
people of his township. He has prov
en- true TO every trust reposed in him,
sturdy, reliable, honest and faithful.
He is the right man for sheriff, and IL
