Bill Carney's Islanders defeated
Dan OLeary's PreZels in the first
game of the season at Island City
park yesterday afternoon. The score
was 5 TO 3. The Islanders played
rings around the visitors and the

the latter were outclassed. Frank
Lakaff worked for Rock Island and he
had things so well in hand at nearly
every stage of the game rhat Mana

six innings the day before in weather
even colder than yesterday. For so

hoped that Jack Hickey, who is hold
ing out, will give in and come along
with Dellar. Both have played several
years, and neither can be included in
the list Of recruits or tryouts. Their
arrival will make the Islander pitching
staff look mighty good. Hickey also
pitched for Edmonton, and won 10 out

are preparing to defend this town.
When 1t was learned here that 500

with nearly 900 men started march to
head them off, leaving guards at Ga

GONZALES TAKES
RAP AT AHUMADA
Insurgent Governor of Chi
huahua Attacks Method
of ADDOintnent.

While business interests generally IN
Chihuahua appear to be more than
pleased by the appointment Of Col. Mi
guel Ahumada as governor of the state,
and FL Pasoans are particularly
pleased, the revolutionists do not ac-
cept his appointment with a spirit of
satisfaction if their leaders views are
to be accepted.
Abraham Gonzales, provisional gov
ernor Of the state of Chihuahua, Who
is making headquarters in FL Paso. has
something to say apropos of the ap-
pointment of Miguel Ahumada as gov
ernor of Chihuahua
This appointment" he says, SIS
against Mexico's constitution, as neith-
or the people nor the legislature have
legally authorized it. It is merely an
other example of the high handed and
plutocratic way of Porfirio Diaz, who
has never cared for the will of the
Mexican citizens. First. Diaz kicked
out governor Sanchez. and put in Ter
razas, and now, it is Terrazas's turn.
Col. Ahumada, unless we put him out,
is subject to another Of Diaz's fits of
bad temper. and may also be kicked
out, without thanks
"Coi. Ahumadas appointment will
not alter the revolutionary feelings of
the people Of the state of Chihuahua,
but in fact, it will favor our purpose
through various reasons. In the first
place, the existing revolution is not
local movement and cares not whether
John or Peter is appointed governor,
as long as the appointment is made by
Diaz and the man is not elected by the
people We are not fighting exclusive
~ for the welfare of our states we are
fighting for the future welfare of all
the country and are being helped on
the job by patriotic men from all Mex
leo, and the moral support of all hon.
est foreigners. It is the tyrannicaI
central government that Chihuahua, as
well as the other states, is trying 20
overturn.
The popularity that Col Ahumada
is claimed to have won in Chihuahua
during his previous terms, is fully fic-
tttious: it is only conceded by people
that look at things only supericially,
and by those persons who have become
rich under his protection.
From moral standpoint, both the
Terrazases and Creels are ahead of
Ahumada. since the former gave laws
against gambling and the indiscrim-
mate sale Of liquor, and both did more
for the public instruction than the
latter, who, while he caused the open
ing Of some schools IN the capital OF
the state and in three or four other
towns, neglected altogether the smaller
towns
The appointment of Ahumada will
require also the change of the mill
tary commander of the zone, since he
and Gen. Hernandez hate each other,
and this change will certainly cause
lot OF. trouble. and maybe confusion.
