NOTES OF THE GAME

Nelson must have hypnotized the
Islanders. They were helpless.
Dams crew has the edge on Car
ney's men thus far with three victor
les out OF the four ante-season games.
Manager Carney batted for Hun
ter in the ninth in hopes of breaking
the no-hit hoodoo. but the best he
could do was 10 fan.
The Islanders really looked poor
yesterday, but at this stage of the
game that is no criterion of the
worth Of the team. Hunter dropped
one that was right in his hands, Kel-
ly threw a ball 10 feet over Slattery's
head, and Lakan fielded a grounder
nicely and then threw IL clear
through the Islander first sacker.
Clynes drove out a beauty in the
ninth, but Ohland was playing deep
and he managed 70 get under IL be-
fore il struck the ground within If
teen feet of the back fence. While
the new fielder from the coast had
little opportunity TO shine yesterday,
his general playing stamps him as
a star and his work in Saturdays
game was sensational

Do Better.

The Rock Island high school base
ball season opened disastrously Sat
urday. Four hits punched, together
with couple of errors in the first in
ming. counted for six runs. and in the
eighth, when Sterling was leading by
a count OF II to Q, Groves arm peter
ed out. and five passes, together with
three hits and two errors, were re-
sponsibIe for seven runs for the Wis
itors. In their half of the eighth. the
local men went down in one, two,
three order, and then the game was
called to permit Sterling to eaten
train home. The nine runs OF the To-
Gals were due chiefly TO the wildness
of Pitcher Wynn of Sterling. who was
unable to control the curves that held
Rock Island TO seven hits. The game
was played at Exposition park.
For the locals, the batting of Grove
and Calkins was a feature, each get
ting two hits. whistler drew four
passes during the game, the box score
crediting him with but one time at
bat. He fielded the short position
well. Townsan played a pretty game
IN left, getting everything that came
his way and also counting with time
ly hit. Grove was not hit hard save
at one or two times during the game,
but his wildness and the fact that
Kone had but little practice behind
him, made it almost impossible for
the latter 10 hold him up right. Vince
Ian made two costly errors in the
field and struck out the first time he
faced the pitcher, but he redeemed
himself with a hit that counted for
two runs in the seventh and a pretty
one-handed catch that eneded the
slaughter in the eighth
WYNN HAS TWISTERS.
For Sterling the work of O'Hare at bat
and at short was the strong feature.
Wynn proved to have some great
curves. and with better control would
make very good pitcher. He also
drove out three hits. The score:

Held for nine innings without a hit

the Islanders yesterday afternoon by
Dan O'Leary's Pretzels from across
the river. Pitcher Nelson did not allow
one single bingle and there were very
few raps that even looked as though
they were due TO give the Pretzels
trouble. The visiting twirler was con
fronted by just an even 80 men and
only four of this number reached first
base, three on free passes and one on
an error by Chapman. None of the
-four reached second, and never for
minute was there any likelihood of a
score being made by Carney's men
The Davenport crowd got TO Lakaff to
better advantage than did the Island
ers to Nelson. and when the game was
over they had made six hits and four
runs. The fault was not entirely the
big pitchers, for three errors besides
his own contributed largely to the run
getting.

Praises the Southern Railway.

Some time age the Augusta Chron-
icle. published an article from Presi-
dent Finley, of the Southern Rail-
way, correcting some errors the
Chronicle made in reference to the
efforts being made by the Southern
Railway to bring people to the South
as settlers. In a manly spirit Of fair
ness, the Chronicle published the ar
ticle on it's editorial page, and in
a strong editorial apologized tor mis-
representing the Southern Railway.
1T would seem," said the Chronicle,
"that we owe the Southern Railway
an npology-and we hasten to offer
II. For we are not amongst those
who hold it a matter of no conse-
quence If they happen to do a rail-
road an injustice; and, certainly, we
are not amongst those who make a
business OF misrepresenting the rail-
roads.
"But we did misrepresent at least
one railroad not long since, when we
undertook to show that the railroads
Of the South are not doing what they
should toward advertising and bring
Ing new settlers into this section. In
the editorial In question we referred
to-. the part played by. the transcon-
tinental railroads in the development
Of the Great West, and we expressed
the wish that. the railroads of the
South might manifest a similar in
terest in the development OF the
Southern States. We knew, Of
course, that the immense lani grants
with which the Western roads were
favored from the outset enabled them
to do more than the roads Of the
South, possibly, could; but we
thought, and still think, that the
Southern roads might do great deal
more than they are doing. We con-
tended that the South offers better
opportunities today than any other
section Of this great country; but
that we too rarely hear Of a railroad
ir the South making any effort to-
ward advertising the lands and In
vestment opportunities In the terri
tory traversed By its lines.
"Nhile we still think this Is true
a. q general proposition and that
our remarks will apply justly to nine
out Of every ten roads in the South,
it is clearly evident that they do not
apply to at least one road; and we
are glad to give the president Of that
road an opportunity to tell just what
his line is doing toward advertising
and developing the South. We,
really, had no idea that all OF the
roads put together we're doing as
much as the Southern Railway, alone,
is doing: and we are doubly glad to
give letter from President Finley
unusual prominence, not only In an
effort to make as full reparation as
POSSIBLE for our mistake as to this
particular railroad-but In the hope
that 1t will prove an inspiration for
others. Certainly President Finley is
to be applauded for his progressive
policy; but, better than that, he and
the stockholders OF his failway will
Hoon begin to reap rich benefits from
auch a policy. II every railroad IN

After telling US the other day that
some one had told him that there
was no Santa Claus, a bright little
eight-year-old boy asked US the ques-
ton, "Do you believe in Santa
CLAUSE" Before we had time to re-
ply the little fellow answered his
own question by saying he did. There
are thousands of other little boys
and girls in our homes who are ask
ing the question, do you believe IN
Santa CLAUSE" To all such en-
quiries we answer yes, and we an
swer truthfully too. We do believe
in Santa Claus, and we pity the man
or woman who does not.
We are glad, too, that Santa Claus
does not grow old. Time has no ef-
feet on him. His silvery locks do
not signify old age or senility. He
is just as active, virile and buoyant
in this wonderful twentieth century
making the little ones happy as he
was when the children Of long gone
generations awaited his coming on
Christmas Eve. He finds his way
around this great world of ours at
the Christmas tide in his marvellous
sled just as readily as If steel rails
and electric wires did not form an
almost impossible network over hill
and: dale, through forest and glen.
Santa Claus lives in the sweet and
tender light OF. children's happy
smiles. His queer little ears-al-
ways tied up in crimson mufTler,
for Santa Claus is the very embodi-
ment. OF the spirit of winter-are
ever open, ever alert to the sound OF
children's happy laughter. So long
as these sweet, alluring things shall
be, 80 long will good Santa Claus
reign without rival in the affections
of children who lisp their prayers
at mothers knees, and In those
Of either children, who at the blessed
Christmas time, catch the echoes OF
the merry prattle of their own little
ones who have grown into mans and
woman's estate.
Santa Claus reindeer may have
walked out of the ark when 1t restel
on Ararat's crest after the flood sub
sided, but who cares? The gift OF
eternal youth is theirs and they are
too busy to bother with family rec
ords or chronological tables. Each
year the rythmlc patter of their tiny
hoofs will be heard on your roof on
Christmas Eve If your heart keeps
young and true and your ears are
still attuned to the faintest whisper
Of Gods own messengers. Santa
Claus, finds his happy way into the
homes of the rich and the poor alike;
into the palace and into the cottage,
wherever children have been sent to
brighten and to bless.
The life OF that child Is peculiarly
pathetic and incomplete which has
not been illumined, with an unques-
tioning, unfaltering belief IN Santa
Claus. without the. mysterious joys
OF anticipation on Christmas Eve, the
richest child has lost one of the most
exquisite phases ofIearthly happiness;
Woe be to him who willfully de-
stroys the beautiful ideal persotnified
in good old Santa Claus. Don't you
believe in Santa Claus, the gray
haired saint Of universal childhood?
Now do say that you do, for all the
little boys and girls who bring
flashes of light and the sound OF
melody in our homes are just eager
to knownthe truth. '' .., s.i,
