ish of the game, expressed it as his
opinion that Davenport has the strong
est team in its history.
Cfynes was also the hitting kid yes
terday. He poled three safeties, one
good for two sacks. Kelly was the on
" other Islander who got more than
single hit He made two doubles.
Some hitter, that Slattery. A home
run. a three-sacker, a two-sacker and
a single all in one afternoon. His
triple came close to going where the
homer did, too-over the back fence
There were 13 extra base hits made
in yesterdays SUGGEST The islanders
got one more than half Of this number
with home run, two triples, and four
doubles. Davenport made as many
doubles and triples. but they did not
get any home run wallops.
The members of the Rock Island
commission, representatives of the
clubs from both sides of the river and
other prominent baseball men among
whom was Smiling Charley" White
OF Spaldings, occupied box seats.
AS he walked into the box in the
sixth inning to relieve Bull Lakaff.
Manager Carney was presented a
large bouquet of red and white carna-
tons. They came from admirers
among the fans of the city. who have
begun styling him the clever old fox"
The high wind carrying clouds of
dust with it, played a big part in the
pitching fielding and batting of yes
terday's contest. Lakaff's curves had
ell the sharpness taken out of them
before they reached the plate and
Frank had to confine himself to put
ting them over the pan. The infielders.
with their eyes filed with dust could
not be held responsible for the many
misplays that occurred. The wind
did help the batting little because ii
hurt the pitchers and carried the ball
q little further than it otherwise would
have gone.
Manager Bill Carney showed a good
head yesterday and indicated him
self in the eyes of some few who mis-
judged his motives in going into the
box TO relieve Lakaff He was mere
ly trying to save his pitchers in
game that seemed hOpelessly lost, but
when the Islanders came within one
Of tying 1t up and the chance to win
again grew bright the manager lost
no time in hosting himself to the
bench and assigning a regular pitcher
TO the job. At that, as it turned out
it would very likely have been better
had he stuck, for he had something
on the ball.

this week, has bought his release for

Central league.
Springfield looks as strong this year
as last and if the Senators gex TO go
ing as they did in 1910 they are very
likely TO make another runaway race
of it. In Joe Willis, who has come
back from St Louis, Middleton,
Schroeder and Rustenhaven they have
probably the best balanced pitching
staff in the league. Collins, Lotion
and Mommers are strong in the OUT
field, while Maggie at third is said TO
be a good man. Dick Smith will be
on first again, with Bell at second,
Blausser at short and Hickory John
son behind the bat.
In all probability, there will be
some changes in Quincy's regular
lineup in the next few days Out.
fielder Patterson, who was with the
Gems at the close Of last season, will
probably succeed Dan Kerwin. In left
field, and OUtfielder Goodwin, secured
from Bloomington when Quincy
bought that city's franchise, Will
probably succeed Hartman. Patter
son was a very strong addition 10 the
Gems last season, and should be a
star IN the Three-Eye league, being
too fast for the Central association
He has not been in the game so far
this spring on account Of an opera
ton, but IT is stated that he has recov-
cred and is ready 10 play.

Then Chapman made a three-sacker
and Ohland registered.
GET ONE BACK.
Carney's men got one of these runs
back in their half of the inning when
Clynes and Slattery hit and Stevens
walked Here was an excellent chance
to drive a few over. but the necessary
hit was not forthcoming and only one
man scored, that being when Coleman
dropped Clusters pop-up.
Davenport was more fortunate in its
half of the next inning, as four men
registered through the medium of
three hits, base on balls. wild pitch
and bad throw to second. Again the
Islanders got one back in their session
of the fifth. Hunter was safe when
Ohland dropped his liner TO center,
and Clynes' tvo-sacker scored the
speedy Willie The sixth netted a run
for each team. For the Islanders,
Slattery tripled and scored on Gus
ter's single. Vogel gave Davenport a
run after two men we're down by err
ing on Finney's grounder. Koepping
followed with a walk and Ohland hit,
scoring FTnney.
BOTH RALLY AT CLOSE.
The end of the game saw great bat
ting rallies by both teams. In the
eighth, Slattery doubled, Kelly dou-
bled, Snyder tripled, and Carney
brought Heinie home with safety to
center. That made three runs. and
the Islanders were one shy of tying
with Davenport. Carney retired from
the box at this juncture, believing
that there was yet time to win and not
desiring TO take any chances. Deilar,
however. proved pie for Davenport
and five hits in a row. three OF which
were doubles. netted three runs and
there would have been four. but Fin
ney cut third on his way home and
ended the inning by being called out.
Frank Dick had taken Finke's place
in the box in the eighth and Nelson
followed Dick and held the center of
the diamond during the ninth session,
and the Islanders could not get start
ed again. The weirdest game Of the
season thereby came to a close. The
score:

ARGUMENT ON PACIFIC
COAST LEMON RATE.
Railroads Want to Increase it From
Dollar to $1.15 a Hundred
DouvAS


Pounds.
(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-Trans-
continental railroads and citrus fruit
growers on the Pacific coast were in
volved in argument today before the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
direction of the Commerce court. of
the case of the Arlington Heights
Fruit Exchange and other citrus fruit
jgrowers against the Southern Pacific
Company and several hundred other
freight carriers. The commission or
dered that the rate on lemons from
Pacific coast points to eastern desti-
nations should not exceed one dollar a
hundred pounds, the rate of $1.15 a
hundred pounds on oranges being held
reasonable.
The Commerce court suspended the
order of the commission as to lemons
indicating that rate of $1.15 was rea-
scnabie and directing that the COM
mission prepare the case in that
view. >
The lemon growing industry in Cali
fornia is yet in its incipiency, the traf-
fic to the east aggregating about $500
carloads annually, while the traffic in
oranges amounts to approximately
$4,000 carloads a year.
The rate of 81 on lemons was made
to encourage the industry and to en-
able the California growers to COM
pete with foreign lemons.
Then the railways increased the
lemon rate to parity with the orange
rate, the shippers objected.

its theater for holding a convention

been mapped out for each conference
and it was more or less religiously
followed.
