STRAWBERRIES RIPENING;,
CROP IN NEED OF RAIN

The first home grown strawberries
are coming to market. Growers say
the crop needs rain badly. II we have
a shower or two during the week the
yield will be a record breaker, but
otherwise Il is likely TO be short.
Everything now needs rain, especially
the meadows and pastures. Cultivated
land generally is in good shape. better,
in fact, than usual at this time of year,
and farm work is well advanced. Prac-
tically all corn is planted and much OF

BASEBALL VOTING
TO END SATURDAY
Ballots Must Be Received by

Figures Monday.

Balloting in the canvass The Argus
has been conducting among the fans
to have them express a choice between
the Three-Eye league and Central as
sociation is to end at o'clock tomor-
row night. Up to that hour votes may
be deposited at the business office of
The Argus. Monday the figures will
be printed after they have been count
ed by the judges, Henry Carse, Rev.
F. J. Rolf, FRANKLIN ]. WEIGH and John
Britton.
Whether there will be heavy voting
the closing day is purely Conjectural.
Assuredly the ballot so far received
does not nearly represent local fan
dom. The Argus has been hopeful
that all lovers of professional baseball
would take part in the contest
The voting was invited simply to
afford baseball patrons opportunity to
voice their honest sentiments, for aft
er all they must be reckoned with in
the maintenance of a professional
team in the city. In view of the
promised coming of President AL Tear
ney. to Rock Island within the next
few weeks to canvass the situation to
enlist support for the Three-Eye
league franchise that he has caused
to be transferred here from Spring
field fans ought to make known
whether they propose to rally to the
gift club or whether they are DESTROYS
of becoming a part of the Central as
sociation.
\ full vote of the fans in The Argus
contest at least might shed some light
on the true state of public feeling on
baseball in Rock Island. The Argus !
therefore urges all fans to vote before |
s o'clock tomorrow night. Fill out the |
printed coupon on the sporting page of
the paper and mail it to the sporting |
editor of The Argus. If ii be too late |
to mail the coupon leave it at the

Philadelphia. Dec. 11-Why did
Connie Mack sell Eddie Collins? A let
ter recently published, said to have
been written by Ira Thomas. suggests
one very good reason why Collins was
no longer needed by the Mackmen.
The letter follows:
In writing his articles Collins has
tipped off many things that he should
have kept TO himself He did not
give away our signs or tell so much
about the inside workings of our
club. but he did something that was
just as bad.
For years our players have been
grabbing the signs of other clubs.
the peculiarities OF the different
players and their weaknesses. Very
little of this was gathered by Col
Inns, but naturally, along with the
rest of the players, everything was
told him.
Eddie used this information in
his articles, telling just how we knew
what was coming from a certain
pitcher because he always did a pc
culiar windup when he was going TO
throw a curve ball. Naturally the
rival players heard about this and
started to remedy their defects. Ger
tain signs that had been used a long
time by other clubs were changed.
With the information we had at
our disposal we would have been
able to win pennants for the next
six years But all this was changed
because Collins wanted to grab all
the money in sight. and thus spoiled
the work OF several years by a few
OF us. The other clubs now watch
us keenly and We won't have the big
edge over visiting teams in future"
