Maltheid Reefng

We want builders to see IS about roofing.
 We want to demonstrate why it IS to your advantage to roof your building with Malthoid Reofng-and we will do this to your complete satisfaction. We will show you beyond any question that Malthoid is the very highest type of roofing perfection and made SO well that it will last as long as the building it covers, We will show you that Malthoid is better roofing than shingles-is more satisfactory than iron-is cheaper than tin in fact, we can prove that there is no other roofing known to the building trade that is as good
 as durable
 as long lasting- as water proof as ire resisting and as cheap as Malthoid Roofing. It has got every other brand of ready roofing marking time while it is progressing there is more of it sold on the Pacific Coast than all other brands combined and it speaks we'll for the intelligence of builders that this IS so.
 The makers of
 Malthoid ? ooGng- The ParahIne Paint Co. of San Francisco and Chicago Heights, know thcir h' .less for they have been at 1t for twenty eight years and they not only make this roofing to sell but they make it to last and to please the people who buy 1t.

THE PASSING OF
 THE OLD DAYS

A little over a half century Sgo practically the whole of th-' vast region lying at the foot i;i'ls Of the Rocky mountains and beyond to the Cascades anu the Pacific. was an unknown wilderness.
 True there were settlement : here and there on the Pacifis coast. where the Spaniards had established missions in south srn California a century 0! more preceding, or the fur trad ers had started towns on the north Pacific coast. Some eX Floration, too, had been carried on by various parties, and in .dividual trappers were more o. less familiar with the region:
 Yet for all this, nearly the whole of the Rocky mountai2 region was an unknown wild. - he Indian still held sway. Noi as vet had he found reason ser ieusly to dispute the onwarg march of the white man.
 \ few years have passed by and today Denver is preparine IF event 10 mark the final pass ing of the old days. Cities have sprung up that rival the citie' of the East. Farms have been wrought out of the wilderness that surpass in productiveness ii.e records Of the older DOT tlons of the country. And aboyr al. the mineral resources have furnished the wealth forming basis upon which has beea founded a prosperous nation.
 The days of the pioneer ar. fast drawing to a close. Yer: few are left to bring a sharI realization to the mind of the present generation of the harl ships of the days when the wild eiuess law unconquered. No: a'e many left of the Indian wl.o founght bravely to defend tnc lands Of their ancestor from the all-conquering white. For several decades now th" steady march has been toward high development. toward thf building of prosperous cities, the breaking of the prairies anI She settlement of the rich val leys that dot the mountain states. and the opening Of mine: rich beyond the dreams Of th2 psst.
 Much has been done. Much remains to be done. The fu- tuTe is yet to reveal the real zratness Of the West. Progre> has already gone to the poinI where the East and the We>i are closely knitted. And. daily, events occur to prove that the West $ rapidly taking f. place among the strong sections of the country.
 The great ranches Of the past are becoming fewer il Rapidly are they le ng parceled out 10 make homes iOc the thousands now setting their faces toward the West.
 l. is to the past that we turn for inspiration. but to the fu- ture do we look for greateF things than have been wroughi in the days that are gone.
 The links that bind Us with the past will soon be dissolved. Fl is we'll that we take heed while we may.

CAPTAIN LARkIN
OUT OF The CAME
Kick Received During Practice
VIII Keep Star Out Of Line
for Month.

With the alumni disposed of, Coach
Corneal is bending every energy to-
wards whipping his men into shape for
the first real game of the season next
Saturday, when the strong Iowa City
aggregation will invade Island City
park. There was plenty of gloom
amongst the student body this morn
ing, when the announcement was made
that Captain Larkin would be unable
to play against Iowa City. In fact,
according to present indications, Lar
kin will be out of it for three or four
weeks. The captain was badly injured
in practice a few days ago, receiving
a terrific kick during scrimmage. AL
though his absence will weaken the
team considerably, Coach Corneal is
fortunate in having likely bunch of
candidates to draw upon.
In speaking of the alumni's defeat
Saturday, the coach said this morning:
81 am more than pleased with the
showing made by my men. Consider
ing the fact that most of them we're
green, and that it was the first game
of the season, they played a great ar
ticle of football"

The Moline Olympics opened the
season at Browning field yesterday
with an overwhelming victory, defeat
ing the Blue Blazers, also of Moline,
50 to 0. The Blazers were completely
outclassed at every stage Of the game,
and ii addition were outweighed about
80 pounds to the man. The contest
was merely in the nature of practice,
the regular season to open next Sun
day when the OIympics play the Illini
aggregation.
The feature Of yesterdays game
was left halfback Kuehl's 70-yard
run for touchdown from the KICKOFF

Chicago, Sept. 29.--The White Sox
closed the Local American league sea-
son with neatness ana dispatch yester-
day. In the brief time of one hour
and % minutes the South Side hopes
went through a full nine-round clash
and emerged winners by the narrow
margin of 1 to 0, the Maps drawing
the short end in brilliant tussle be-
tween Eddie CI6otte and Cy Falken-
berg.
The closing combat was one Of the
best witnessed this year on the South
Side lot. Remarkable fielding ran hand
in hand with great pitching, and only
for slip by Larry Lajoie the two con-
tenders might have battled into dark
ness and a no-score tie. The veteran
committed two boots, the second &C.
curing because of the mental dis
turbance caused by missing an easy
ground ball in the first chance. The
second blunder was a bad peg to first
and was coined into a run in the sixth
without the aid of hit. Score:

A FEW COMMENTS ON
THAT PREXY FIGHT
"DEACoN- DAVIS.

1t appears at this stage of the con-
test that the race for league president
has practically narrowed down to two
Davenport men, Jim Hayes, secretary
of the Davenport club, and Al O'Hern,
sporting editor of the Times.
Jimmy Boyle has withdrawn, or rath-
er has branded statements that he was
a candidate as false. Tearney is prac-
tically dead and will be fortunate to
secure two votes, both in the south
ern end.
Hayes is a good baseball man, a
careful business man and very gen.
ial and pleasant man to meet. He is
well qualified for the position in every
way excepting one. He will not re-
sign his position as club secretary
to become league president.
Jim is one of the finest fellows in
the world and is known personally by
the writer to be such. He has a
mighty soft job with the Blue Sox,
however, and under no circumstances
could he afford to give it up for $1,000
per year.
The Davenport club is one of the
best money making properties in the
minors and each year cleans up a neat
little pile for its owners, the Lane
Walsh interests of Davenport. jim
has an interest in the club and in ad
dition to his share Of the profits draws
fancy salary. He devotes his entire
time to the management of the club.
The question before the league
moguls now is: Do you want compe
! tent baseball man for president who
will continue as secretary of one q
the clubs, or do you want a man who
will be free from any financial inter
est in any club as is O'Hern?-Quinc!

BREWERS CLLNCH
PENNANT IN A. A.
Milwaukee Defeats Louisville
While Millers Lose, Giving
Clark 1913 Rag.

Louisville, Ky, Sept 29.-After
one of the most exciting races ever
staged in the American Association
Milwaukee clinched the pe2nant yes
terday by defeating Louisville in the
first game of a double-header, while
Minneapolis was losing to Columbus.
Making the Brewers feat all the more
remarkable was the fact that Harry
Clark was acting as leader for the
first time and that he was leading a
dark horse" in the race. In fact, few
A. A. critics conceded the Brewers
chance at the start of the season.
Besides developing an outfield such
has not been duplicated in the big
minor" league in many years, Clark
took a fair to Iniddling team and turn
ed out a pennant winner. He had his
club in the race from the start and
outside of a week has held the lead
to the end. Every one knows how he
brought out Chappell, purchased by the
White SoX for $4,000, but in Gilbert,
drafted by the Braves, ne found an
OlllSE SdIuGil man CdDdUl6 VI
his own with any outfelder in the
league. Along with this Clark showed
superior judgment in picking his pitch
ers, and he made a pennant winning
team out of the same men Duffy bare
ly wheeled into first division.
Pressing the Brewers all the way
were Minneapolis, Columbus and
Louisville, and one team has never
had more than couple of games lead.
Milwaukee went into a slump a few
weeks ago and Minneapolis, coming
fast at that time, jumped in front by
small margin, and the wise ones

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-The Giants
may have the edge on the Athletics in
some departments of the game, not
ably pitching, but when it comes to
the infield everybody will have to
agree that McInnis, Collins, Barry and
Baker stand head and shoulders above
Merkle, Doyle, Fletcher and Shafer.
Connie Mack not only has the CLASH
est inield of the present day, but he
has one of the best infelds in the en-
tire history of the national game.
Beginning at first base, Stuffy Nc
Innis of the Athletics, although he
never has played in a worlds series
game, bids fair to greatly outshine
Fred Merkle of the Giants, who has
not sparkled brilliantly in the two
worlds series in which he has played.
In 1911 his batting average was .143
and his fielding was rated at .957 In
the big series last year lis batting
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-09-29

average picked up and he made a rec
ord of .273 His fielding was better,
too. But Merkle cannot be counted
upon TO do his best work in crisis.
At second base the Athletics and
Giants are more evenly matched. Here
Eddie Collins of the Mackmen is pit
ted against Larry Doyle. Each has
played in two series. In 1911 Larry
outfielded and outhit Eddie. The lat
ter, however, covers more ground than
Doyle and is more capable artisan.
Both rank high as consistent hitters.
Collins won fame in the 1910 series,
leading his team at bat with an aver
age of 429 and making a fielding rec
ord of .972.
In 1912 Doyle fell off his stride as
a hitter, but made a fielding record of
$50.
Based on worlds series perform
ances alone, Fletcher, the Giants
shortstop, doesn't begin to compare
