conclusion that change was needed
Did that rouse me?
don't mind telling you that it had
that effect precisely. l realized the
fact that John r. Walsh had perfect
right to be dissatisfied with me If he
wanted to-he and Spalding each
owned 800 shares of the clubs stock
and he was sthe latter's BANKRUPT

of $50 shares, and it struck me that

made up my mind to have personal
interview with Mr.. Walsh and find out
for myself how much truth there was
in the matter.
The big mani am speaking finan-
cially-received me quite affably, in
quiring after the health of my family
and as to how had enjoyed my trip
abroad. l got down to business pretty
promptly and asked him direct if he

within, but put the brake on and
kept myself under control He went
on to justify himself, and kept silent
until he was through
Then l asked him civilly enough II
he thought had ever done anything
toward bringing the club UP to its
present position in the baseball world
You are impairment, sir" he snap
ped, rising hastily and leaving me
alone in the room.
He did not return, and left that
office convinced that had traced the
prime mover of the agitation against
me to his lair
After thinking it over a few days,
resolved to give the magnate another
chance to redeem himself. 1t seemed
incredible to me that a man of his
standing in the business world could
be capable of such underhand work.
So presented myself one morning at
his place of business, but got no farth-

and Pm afraid l didn't manage to con-
ceal the fact. l proceeded to air my
opinion of the outfit in terms that
were more forcible than elegant, and
the secretary threatened to call po-
liceman and have me removed
That didn't scare me little bit, and
| went right on with my remarks.
Among other choice selections of ora
tory that let loose l recollect telling
the secretary that the time would come
when he wouldn't have to lie for John
r. Walsh for a living.
That capped the climax, and he made
good his threat and called a police
man. l remained until the officer
came, in the mean time finding no
difficulty in finishing what l had start
ed out to say. The policeman was a
likely looking young fellow, with
peace" written all over his face, and
he only smiled when l advised him
in fatherly way to keep neutral

tain, II lost my job for not doing It,"
he said.

When w. H. Fauber, inventor of the

SHIP OF THE FUTURE.
The hydroplane is regarded by many
as the ship of the future. Wright
brothers few kites before incredulous
throngs for years before they perfect
ed the ship of the air. The hydroplane
is TO the water what the aeropIane is
to the skies. The terrific speed at
which they travel over the water Is
just as thrilling as the fight of an
airship. It's no dream that in few
years the hydroplane principle applied
TO ocean-going boats will make a trip
at the fearful rate of 100 miles an hour
over the Atlantic commonplace.
Sir John Thornycroft is one of the
chief British opponents of the hydro
plane. He designed the Maple Leaf
III. which IN speed trials made 81
miles an hour. The boats Of Fauber
design at Dubuque viii be interna-
tional defenders against this British
boat in all probability. hydroplane

ton and J. NJ. Brady of Boston, is
the only American born player who
ever won the title, although many
have been well up in the running in
former years while he himself was
defeated in a triple tie in the same
event last year.
McDermott played by far the most
consistent golf and won on his mer-
its in see-saw battle with Brady,
Simpson, who has been suffering
from an injured arm for some time,
having never been in the running
after the first two holes were played.
McDermott had a score of 80 for
the Is holes. Brady made an 50 and
Simpson had Sc.
McDermott is only 81 years old
and has had little or no instruction
at the game, having, for the greater
part, picked up all he knew without
outside assistance. Yesterday he
displayed a cool nerve and good
Judgment and put finishing touch on
his victory by winning the last hole

NOTES OF THE GAME

Waterloo comes tomorrow for three
games.
Vogel had a perfect batting record,
with two hits and two walks in four
times up.
WooIey made a beautiful catch of
Bromwich's fly ball in the first inning
after hard run.
Chapman made a couple of feature
catches of Coleman's pegs to second
that headed off Rock Island runners.
That man Koepping certainly hits
the ball. He had two hits yesterday,
one of which was for three stations
Heinie Snyder had credit for a hit.
He hunted along the first base line and
a couple of Prodigals were right on
top of the ball and were waiting for
it to roll foul 1t stayed inside and
Heinie was safe at first, much to the
disgust of old Dannie.
Have you taken notice of Manager
Gonding's coaching? He has thus far
given US just a sample of his maneu-
vers on the lines. He was credited
with being one of the star coachers in
the Western league. He has big
voice, and knows how to use it.
Both of the Islanders who were on
the hospital list were back in the
game yesterday. Bull Lakaff pitched
a good game, and with little luck and
hitting back of him would have had
victory. Harry Kelly was on third
again. He had four chances without
a bobble.
Gonding's catching and hitting were
noticeable features of the game. But
one base was stolen on him, and that
was not through fault of his. Chap
man was on second and Lund was at
bat The signal to Lund was for hit
and run. On the third strike he Whit
ed and Chapman was already near the
base. Kelly was playing up for the
batter and was unable to
return to the bag in time to catch the
runner Gonding had two of the Is
lander hits.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-06-27

Failing to connect safely with ;be
sphere yesterday while the Dav-
exporters hit when hits meant
runs, Rock Island went down for its
seventh successive defeat, four of
which have been administered by
the Pretzels. The final score of yes
terday's contest was to l. Frank
Lakaf pitched for the Islanders for
his first attempt since his injury two
weeks ago. Frank had pretty good
control, but the visitors found him
at opportune moments. Some luck
was connected with their hitting, for
in each OF the innings that they
made runs there were exactly the
same number of hits. The other
four of the nine hits were wasted ex-
cept to fatten batting averages.
Crabb pitched consistently for the
Pretzels and added to that made
three hits, two of which figured in
the run-making. He was effective at
all times and the only man to reach
third was Vogel who scored on the
same play. And only one other man
reached second. All others who were
safe at first were forced at the sec
ond sack or were out on attempted
steals. Davenport was the first to
score. In the third inning Goodwin,
first up, walked. Coleman famed
and Crabb hit to Kelly and was out
at first while Goodwin went to second.
Ohland hit to left and while David
son tuggled the ball Goodwin came
home. In the next inning. Rock Is
land tied the score. VogeI walked
after two were down and stole sell
ond. Slattery hit over second into
center and Vogel scored. Slattery
was cut off when he tried to steal
second. After that attempt. nary an
Islander reached second base.
GOODWIN STARTS MUSIC AGAIN.
In the fifth inning for Davenport,
after two were out, Goodwin again
started trouble by hitting to right
for two sacks, Coleman walked
and Crabb hit to center. Clynes
made a beautiful run but was abe
only to touch the ball by stretching
to the limit. Before the ball could
be recovered and f1elded, two runs
had come in. Ohland walked and
Koepping was out at first. In the
seventh another pair was added, this
time after two were out Goodwin
skied to short and Coleman lifted a
high one which came down to the

which, under speed, brings the bow up

drawn under the boat by these steps
and the boat has a continual tendency

is that when speed is attained the

CONDINC MAKING
GOOD AS A PILOT
New Islander Manager Has Big
Task Before Him, but Hopes
Soon to Be on Climb.
GETTING TEAM WORKING
Receives Fine Send-off From Lincoln
JOurnal-Two Pitchers Are
Turned Loose.

John Gonding, new manager of the
Islanders, is making good. Not that
the team has suddenly quit playing eel
lar ball and taken up the champion
ship brand all in a day, or that the
losing streak is broken. No reasonable
person could expect that. 1t takes time
for manager and player to get az
quainted in the close manner which is
necessary for them to understand each
other, and that is what Mr.. Gonding is
doing now-getting acquainted ano
looking over his material and the stu
alton. At the same time he is win
ming the respect and good will of the
men on his team so that he will soon
be ready to launch out to the full eX-
tent He has shown that he is q
hustler and his men are catching the
spirit, and in fact on more than one
occasion already should have been re
turned victors had they had an even
break on luck, losing games by sin
gle score.
DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH.
Too much must not be expected,
however. If Mr.. Gonding succeeds in
getting the team out of the tail emil
position this year, he will have done
web. More, if he succeeds in getting
them to playing consistent, scrappy
ball, fans should be satisfied. Ball
teams are not made irt a day.
That Gonding is well thought of in
the Western league, where he has
played the past 10 years, is shown by
the following from the Lincoln Jour
nal:
Goodbye, Johnny Gonding. May you
prosper in your new job May the
cares of management fall lightly on
your shoulders and not cloud your jov
ial disposition or crab your kindly ma
ture May harmony be the 10th mem
Der of your team; may the fans stay
behind you. For 10 years you have
been a member of one club, and in
those 10 years no act of unsportsmaL-
like conduct has ever marred your rep
utation in the eyes of the fans in the
league. From one end of the circuit to
the other you are known as a square
man, honest with your teammates
your owners and your public. Your
friends are more numerous than you
know; those who VIII miss you are
many. When you leave, the Wes' etn
league of professional baseball clubs
loses one of its most beloved members,
both at home and on the trips, it loses
material which would give it at least
one thoroughly competent holder of
the indicator and arbitrator of games,
and the Three-Eye gains a wise, clean,
honest, gentlemanly ball player"
TWO PITCHERS RELEASED.
Pitchers George Terry and Clarence
Ficken were released unconditionally
this morning. This leaves four men
Lakaff, Dollar, Queisser and Woods
