PATRICIA IS CUP WINNER
Yacht Trophy Goes to the Canadian
Racer After Third Straight Success.

Chicago, Aug. l5.-Patricia, owned
by Norman Gooderham and represent
ing the Royal Canadian Yacht club
of Toronto, is the champion sailing
yacht of the great lakes.
The Dominion racer, handled with
remarkable skill by Skipper Gooder-
ham and his crew, won the Richard
son trophy and the international title
that goes with it in the fourth and
final race of the series, sailed yester-
day. II was the third successive time
that the black sloop had trimmed the
white hope of the Chicago Yacht club.
for Michicago's only victory in the ser
les was in the opening contest.
Fluky wind conditions may have fig.
ured in giving Patricia d lucky race
in one OF the four battles for suprema-
Cy between the Canadians and the
Americans, but there was no 7uke
about yesterdays contest In the opin-
ion Of many who saw the race it was a
case Of the slower boat winning, and
critics we're free TO give all the credit
10 the Canadian crew. The Canadians
outsailed the Chicago Yacht club men
ana took away a race that appeared
cinched for Michicago.

meters who secured the match. They
arrived yesterday morning and imme-
diately had a conference with the
champion. At first Johnson demanded
fiat sum Of 100000. This amount
the promoters refused TO guarantee,
but they succeeded in showing John
son that he may get this figure if he
would agree TO take a guarantee of
$4,000 with the privilege.

BALL PLAYERS IN
new union MOVE
Organization Has as Purpose
Betterment of Conditions
of Members.

Boston, Mass, Aug 15.-Coopera-
ton with club owners, the national
commission, and the other powers in
baseball Is the keynote OF the frater-
nifty, brotherhood, OF Ancient Order"
whatever legal title its charter may
contain when granted. which has been
quietly formed among the major
league ball players in the last year
and the formal organization OF which
is set for this fall, probably during
the next worlds series.
Instead Of the belligerency with
which the infant generally is credited
and the compulsory elevation and reg
ulation Of players salaries, which is
believed 10 be its chief object, the bet
terment Of present relations between
the diamond workers and their bosses,
improvements in the physical and
mental condition OF the players. and
Incidentally the elevation OF the sport
itself are the main purposes Of the
men who have done most to get the
players together.
With the question OF salaries the
fraternity will have nothing whatever
10 do. Its authors are wise enough
20 understand that an attempt 10 mon
key with players salaries by estab-
fishing scales OF any kind would only
work harm in the end So far as the
organization is concerned, salaries
VIII remain an individual and person
al matter between player and club
owner, as heretofore.
To avoid the idea Of unionism and
wage scales. it was decided TO avoid
calling the organization anything that
savored of players union" II has
been organized along the lines of a
fraternity or protective order. with
the secrecy left out. The initiation
fee is nominal $50 as 10 keep out
no one on financial considerations.
and the annual dues-yet 70 be agreed
upon-will be equally within the
reach Of high and low salaried play
ers
How does the organization expect
&c help the ball players if not bv boost
ing salaries? one OF the objects is
10 see that the player is adequately
represented in all matters OF dispute
over his services, and TO see that his
side Of each case is presented. In NV

Sometimes IL was because they be-

baseball, its conditions, and where
they can and where they cannot be
improved. But Fultz may not be the
medium selected. All that still is in
the air.
When the organization is completed
this fall. in addition TO the regular Of
fcers of such a combination. il is
planned 10 have a board OF 16 direc-
tors, comprising one member from
each major league club, and an ad-
visory board of some sort TO consist

HEAT FLIES BEFORE
HEAVY DOWkPOUR

Fine rain, last night. The weather
man says that "a of an inch fell,
starting shortly before l o'clock and
coming mostly in fitful showers with
a little wind and a herald of thunder
and lightning. For three or four days,
the oppressive heat had been causing
not only discomfort but deaths through
this section of the country. The rain
last night had the effect of cooling
the atmosphere and as the rain was
general through the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys and the northern lake
regions it has relieved this section nice
ly and also aided the crops.
At La Crosse, Wis. the fall was
heavy, 2.46 inches falling in the same
space of time that our "a of an inch
fell. At Des Moines 1.4O inches fell.
For the the first time in the history
of the Rock Island police station, none
of the telephones were put out of
commission, despite the severity of
the storm.

will involve the city in the unnecessary
expense of primary and general cleo
ton. In the second place, it will result
in involving the city in fresh turmoil
and bitterness at a time when better
feeling prevails. There is no doubt
that those who are back of the recall
proposition already have their own
men picked for mayor and commits
sioner and will undertake to force
them down the necks of the people. if
they succeed in carrying out their pur-
pose. On this account, the names, not
only of the signers of the petitions, but
those who secured the signatures,
should be published, and so far as the
bona fide nature of the signers in ev.

SUICIDE LEFT 4
NOTE BEHIND HIM

Some light was thrown today on the
reason for the suicide of Oscar Seidel
who hung himself a week ago today at
his home, 713 Eighth street. His
mother, Mrs. August Seidel, in going
through the pockets of some of his
clothes came across the following
note, bearing the significant heading,
Root Of all Evil:
Il am an innocent man of lone
charge against me, but l cannot prove
il. | worked hard at the Rock Island
Plow company for the $50 in gold de-
posted at the Rock Island Savings
bank.
Il made a few bad remarks through
sickness and worry, that | apologize
for, so help me God.
If | am to depart from this world,
please turn over all of my belongings,
money and property to mother. and
after her death, Emma should have
/ charge of my money and property TO
! see that father is well taken care of.
All money and property after death
of mother md father should be equally
divided among the brothers and sis
/ tiers. So goodbye all
OSCAR SEIDEL."
Apparently from the tone of the
note. the man had had difficulties with
/ someone and charges had been made
which preyed upon his mind and caus.
ed him 10 take his own life. His fam
lily are unable to explain the note in
detail

Frances Howe IA Months Old
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

FRACTURES HER SKULL

pies and Alights on Cement
Walk ON Her Head.

Attempting to answer a call which
had come to her from the outside, lit
tie Frances Howe, daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter B. Howe, 4426 Fourteenth
avenue, pushed the screen from an up
per story window against when her
bed had been placed, lost her balance
when the screen gave way, and fell to
the ground 20 feet below. alighting on
her head On a cement walk. Her skull
was fractured and other injuries were
sustained and this afternoon the ply
sicians in charge had given up all
hope of saving the child's life, stating
that it would be but matter of hours
till her death. The little one is II
months old. She was taken to the Mo-
line City hospital for treatment.
The accident occurred last evening
about 3 O'Clock. The child had been
mapping in an upstairs room, and as
has been said, her bed had been push
ed near to the window TO allow her
to be as cool as possible. Some one
called 10 the child from below the
window and she responded. Innocent,
/ ly, she placed her hands against the
screen and when it gave away to the
small force which she expended, il
sent her topping onto the walk below
OPERATION SUCCESSFUL.
An uncle of the father, DR.. F. D.
Paul, was called and he with other
/ physicians raised the fractured portion
Of the skull to relieve blood conges
ton. The operation was successful
and the child spent a fairly quiet
night. This morning, there was q
change for the worse and the life OF
the child was ebbing rapidly while at
tendants stood by powerless to stem
the tide.
Death came this afternoon to the
little girl to relieve her suffering.

could be found who would testify posi-
lively to having seen the car, but a
man who was standing at the corner of
Nineteenth street claimed to have
heard peculiar whizzing sound as OF
some large object cutting the air. He
spread a story to the effect that the
sprinkler must have been in the vi
cinity; an investigation was started
and here and there drop of dampness
was found on the pavement The rain
of early this morning filled in the
blank places, and for a few hours, at
least, the dust on Second avenue was
put out of commission.
