CONTEST WINNERS.

Hallam worked with degree of en-
ergy and enthusiasm that won for
her the respect and interest OF hosts
of people in FL Centre and Calexico
as we'll as other parts of the valley.
She was always cheerful and enthu-
siastic, and conducted remarkably
clean campaign altogether free from
any attempt to gain lnfalr advan-
tage over others in the race.
Three Prizes for Miss Moore.
Miss Myrtle Moore was the third
in the contest who obtained astonish-
ing results throughout and who Was
supported by an army of friends
eager to see her win. With Mrs
Williams, Miss Breedlove and Miss
Hallam, she completed quartette of
powerful rivals, all of whom pos
sessed about equal chances of win
ming the automobile, so far as those
most familiar with inside facts could
Judge Miss Moore turned in nearly
200 new subscriptions for periods of
one year or more each, and although
both Miss Hallam and Miss Breed
love turned in nearly as many, she
headed the list as far as number of
new subscriptions for year periods
was concerned, and won the sos dia-
mond ring offered as special prize.
She also was awarded $50 cash in ad-
dition to the other prizes, in accord
ance with an announcement made by
the publisher of this paper after the
final count had been made and it was
seen that receipts from the contest
had exceeded all expectations and that
she had obtained remarkable results
without winning either of the two
chief prizes.
Two Prizes for Mrs. Williams.
For several weeks during the early
stages of the campaign Mrs. Williams
seemed to those most familiar with
inside facts to be the most likely win
ner of the automobile, but her terri
tory was limited and during the last
week or two of the contest she found
there were but few people left in her
territory to subscribe. Mrs. Williams
deserves great crdit for her remark
abl success and for the enthusiastic
support of many friends in DiXieland
as well as in Brawley and other parts
of the valley. She was awarded 5000
furniture order and cash prize of
$50, which was added by the publisher

Five Extra Cash Prizes.
AS evidence of appreciation for the
splendid results obtained and in order
disappointment over the final out
come of the contest, the publishers
of the Press gave away five liberal
cash prizes that had never been Of
fered nor expected. Fifty dollars in
cash was awarded to Miss Moore, the
same amount to Mrs. Williams, and
$25 each to the next three contestants
in the score list.
A Creditable Campaign.
Every candidate in the list Who
made serious effort to win deserves
great credit for the manner in which
she conducted her campaign. Never
was there any evidence of jealousy
between contestants, and the best of
feeling was exhibited between them.
After the final count had been made
all contestants expressed themselves
as entirely satisfied with the awards
as made, and although all were in
vited to express dissatisfaction with
any feature of the contest or with the
manner in which it had been conduct
ed, there was not person who raised
the slightest objection.

Questions Authe,,-
ITCHY Of Latest
Farrell Decision,

| w. H. Davidson, managing editor OF
the Burlington Hawkeye, and vice
| president of the Central Baseball Asso-
! CATION, appears to question the au-
thenticity of the purported decision OF
Secretary Farrell, of the national com
mission, relative to Rock Island being
! open territory, sail to have been given
f. in a telegram that "came too late" al
the recent Burlington meeting.
/ In reviewing the Burlington meeting
and commenting upon the story from
Rock Island to the effect that Farrell!
had reversed his prior decision, Mr.
! Davidson says:
1T q probable that it is just as well
that the message Of Rock Island did
, not come in time. If the statement
, above is correct it maks three differ.
ent decisions which Farrell made re-
| gardins Rock Island. Had the mes
sage to Sexton come in time to reach
the directors of the league meet
ing before they voted in Marshalltown
they would undoubtedly have cast their
ballots for Rock Island, as the major
i ity of the directors had been instruct
ed to do SO and as they We're inclined
to favor the river city all the time.
DGl ld0 tilty QOIie 81 SACh oSSASSeAS
Farrell might have again modified his
decision. leaving it up to the Central
association to fight out with the nat
! ional commission the legality Of its ac-
ton in taking in Rock Island.
Farrell first ruled that Moline and
Rock Island were both free to go in
to any other league providing the
, Three-I lea que. in whose territory they
were, did not give them franchise.
Then he changed that ruling and
gave it as his judgment that either city
could have baseball clubs, but only by
unanimous consent Of the members OF
the Three-I league, the five-mile limit
F! operating against the cities.
Now If this last dispatch is true
Secretary Farrell again reverses his
decision flcre completely than before
holding that the five-mile limit does
not operate in the case Of Rock Island
and Moline.
TT is hard to believe that Secretary
Farrell delivered such decision for II
is a turning over Of well-estabished
baseball law which has always gov
erned league territory. Any Three-1
league member could question the
correctness Of such a'decision and the
matter would have to be decided by
the rational commission. This would
involve not Rock Island but the Cen
trail association in a squabble for ter
r:to-v, which it does not need nor desire
TO enter.
"Tn other words Rock Island came to
the Central association with an uncer-
tain proposition which promised
fight for the Central. Marshalltown
came with everything settled and in
its favor II was natural that Mar
shalltown should have been favorab!y
considered Had Rock Island come t"
the league as free as Marshalltown. 1T
would have been a member of the
Central association today"
