GETS A COLD RECEPTION

f ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-Judg-
ing by the tenor of telegram re.
.ceived in Rock Island yesterday from
President Al Tearney another, Three.
Eye league town Is about to abandon
it's franchise.
The telegram came to G. ]. Smith,
police magistrate, and asked II he
could state whether there were
enough Rock Island men prepared
Immediately to assume responsibility
for Three-Eye franchise, leaving
the inference that the head Of the
league had a team on his hands that
was without home for the remain
der OF the season. Mr.. Smith in his
reply asked for more information.
what town was dropping out, the
financial condition Of the team, etc.
Evidently Tearney has not given
UP hope of bringing Rock Island
back into the Three-Eye fold, but it
is not likely that this will be accom-
plished while he is president Of the
league. Rock Island fans would never
support a team in an organization
over which Tearney exercised execu-
tive authority. The people here have
had enough of Tearneyism. With a
different man at the head OF the
Three.Eye a team in that circuit
doubtless would be warmly received
and generously patronized here.
Rock Island fans for few days
last month showed how they will
turn out for baseball under proper
auspices, giving fine attendance at
every game played on the local
grounds by Central association teams,
the Ottumwa franchise travelling un
der the name OF Rock Island until
Tearney got favorable ruling on his
contention that the city was Three
Eye territory With this law modified
by the national association, which Is
probable, it is likely the Central asso-
citation will have a franchise to offer
Rock Island next season.
At any rate, Rock Island is almost
certain to have professional baseball
in 1915.

UNCLE SAM HAS
LITTLE CHANGE
Davis Tennis Trophy Likely to Skid
Across the Pacific as Result
Of Today's
Matches.
BROKE EVEN YESTERDAY
Mclaughlin Defeated Brookes, First
Set Of Match Going 80 Games,

NEW YORK, Aug. IA certain
little piece OF silverware, known in
tennis circles as the Dwight F. Davis
cup, is shaking on its base today and
threatening to skid across the Pacific
to the Antipodes.
Whether the American defenders OF
the international tennis trophy are to
repulse the challenging Australasians
may be practically decided this after.
noon when the doubles match is play
ed. If Norman e. RIookes and An
thony F. Wilding defeat Maurice Nc
Loughlin and Thos. Bundy, the cup
will be clinging to these shores by
mighty slender thread. Uncle Sam
will be we'll toward another interna
tional walloping and only the most I'M
expected turn of affairs In finals
singles matches Saturday will keep
the cup here.
The matches now stand even up,
Mclaughlin defeated Brookes yester-
day the first set Of their match going
to SO games, record for champion
ship tennis The Australasians had
started with victory when Wilding
beat Williams Despite the fifty-ffty
split, however, the invaders look much
the best. Brookes was tired and worn
after his gruelling play with Nc
Loughlin. But should Brookes recover
completely williams will not have a
look in against him Saturday if the
American displays the same form he
showed against Wilding. The New
Zealander won without extending
himself Wilding started OF like a
flash, but the spark soon f1ickered out
and he was extremely wild.
The doubles have been practically
conceded to the Australasians. but
hope was nursed along in the Ameri-
can camp today in the belief that
Brookes might not be at his best be-
cause of the tough fight with Nc
Loughlin yesterday. The Californian
has the advantage OF youth and
should be fresher. Wilding will be
Just as fresh as Bundy, however, as
his victory over Williams cost little
effort as he is beyond any doubt far
superior to McLoughlin's playing part
ner.
A victory in the doubles for the
Americans today will put the task OF
holding the cup squarely upon the
shoulders of Mclaughlin IN the
singles with Wilding Saturday. The
big Australasian is now at his top
form and the national champion has
a man sized Job on hand. Defeat for
the Americans will mean that they
must win both singles Saturday to re-
pei the invasion. Such play against
men of the class Of Brookes and WHO
ing Is next to impossible unless the
terrific playing yesterday put Brookes
far back in his game and Williams
makes a remarkable recovery.

MAUI IS NOT MAULED

A little bunch of runs of Riley, a
few more off Welsh, and the Ansons
took the thirteenth straight game
Keokuk has lost within the last two
weeks. The score was to 5. The
loss of this game was not wholly due
to the two pitchers. The eight men
behind them gave them ragged sup
FORT and fell down in the pinches
where they might have brought across
few more runs.
Riley was Sweets mound choice for
the day with Marshall doing the re-
ceiving. Harry worked on first, again
sending Tommy Giffn to right field.
Although Riley was lacking in con-
troll, his work might have been far
worse. With better support three OF
the five runs made off him in five in
nings could have been cut of. Welsh,
who finished the game, was respons-
ible for one of the two runs made dur
ing his administration.
Maui held the tribe safe until the
fifth inning. Three hits, walk, and
three errors were made up into four
runs by the tribe. Dali lead the SEES
sion away with stroll. MCGEE sing
led, as did Sweet, the latter scoring
Dali Wetzel was safe when Burg
wald muffed his roller and both
Sweet and MCGEE came home. Sweet
suffered Riley to strike out for himself,
although he removed him from the
game at the opening of the next
round. Hensling singled, reaching
third when Jude allowed the ball to
bounce through him, and Wetzel
scored Addington whitfield and Giftin
rolled out.
Our other run was made in the next
inning when Marshall started off with
triple that lit near the right field
foul line and rolled toward the fence.
He scored on McGee's infeld out to
short. The run tied up the score for
a while. The Ansons took the lead
in the next two innings and the tribe
tried hard to come back bat without
success. They worked two men on
III the ninth and Mccullough was
rushed in to bat for Welsh. Mack
failed.
The visitors scored in five different
innings. Their first run, made in the
third, was counted without a hit.
Riley walked two, one runner reach
ing third on an infield out. A double
steal from first and third was worked
successfully, Addington muffing the
ball at the critical moment. Three
more were added in the next period
Seibert beat out a bunt, Andreen hit
to T,iley who failed to get Seibert at
second. Maui and Jude singled, Gift
fin allowing Jude's hit 70 go through
him for two bases and both Andreen
and Maui scored.
The Ansons scored again in the
fifth. Burkwald doubled. Welsh sue

Burgwald scored when MCGEE made
a wild peg to first after fielding Sci

THE ROAD DRAG
DOES FINE WORK
Less Expensive Than Any
Other Efficient System of
Upkeep

Washington, July 1S.-The road
drag is the Simplet and least expensive
COntriYanCe yet devised for maintain
ing earth roads, according to the ex-
perts in the United tSates Department
Of Agriculture, who are cooperating
with the State and county authorities
in work for better roads.
Properly used, the drag gives the
needed crown OF the road, smoothes
out ruts and other irregularities,
spreads out puddleS of water, thereby
ac~celerating the drying of the road,
and makes the surface more or less
imperviOus to water my Smearing over
the so-called pores in the earthly ma
terial. The cost of operation depends,
of course, upon local conditions and
the thoroughinesS with which the
| work is lone. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that it is less expensive than
| any efficient system of upkeep.
Farmers Bulletin, No. 597, Of the
Department Of Agriculture, discusses.

How 1t Is Used the best methods
Of maintaining earth roads in good
condition by this simple device.
For Partially ImprOvde Roads.

published, the department points out
that of more than 1000, 600 miles of
good public roads in the United States

given a hard surface. 1t is true, OF
course, that a large part Of the re-
naming mileage consists OF roads
that are entirely un~imprOved, and that
on roads Of this class the drag is prac-
tically useless.
There is a much larger mileage,
however. hat has been partially i'm
proved. and it is on roads Of this
Character-roads that have beer
crowned or drained, but have not q
hard surface-that the use of the drag
is advocated.
In it's simplest form the roa DRAG
consists of an ordinary log split il
half and the two halves connected like
the uprights OF a ladder by means OF
cross sticks or rungS set in. The los
should be about seven or eight inches
in diameter, and from six to eight fee

My Dear Sir. am Just in receipt
OF Nour letter OF the 10th inst. enclos-
ing editorial. entitled Look Before
We Leap. and asking me two qnes-
tions.
Such men as Nj. samuel Gompers.
and others. have been urging our
committee for years To- legalize the ex-
to pages y, Is and &c OF the enclosed
committee report on the antitrust
legislation. the latter two of which
give = quotation from Mr.. Gompers'
argument. You are right in saying
the existence OF the unions is legal
now, and really. in my opinion. there
is no need OF Congressional action
with reference To their existence.
However. Mr.. Gompers and his asso-
Gates have Contended that while their
organizations are recognized as legal
by the decisions Of the courts. the
Department Of Justice, if so inclined,
could either bring suit To dissolve
them or embarrass them greatly.
You notice he contends that the have
existed merely by sufferance Of the
Department Of Justice. The provision
in Section {. which We placed in the
trust bill. with reference 10 labor
was therefore IN u opinion. a mere
Legislative CCdification Of the court
decisions.
with reference TO you question as
to the right OF every working man To
sell his labor 10 whom he pleases at
the market price without fear or
/ favor | beg TO say that this Is un-
recognized by the courts. In fact. no
am advised has ever asked that such
provision he enacted into statutory
law.
The Thirteenth Amendment 10 the
Constitution OF the United States
clearly gives every human being in
the United States this right.
If you Will take the pains to read
the debates on the Sherman antitrust
law when it was passed in 1890. ii
will be made perfectly clear TO you
that the trainers OF this law never for
one intended that ii should
be construed SO as 10 forbid the eX-
iStenCe and operation of organization
mentioned in the antitrust bin now
pending. Indeed. it was SO thorough
~ understood that the lawmakers
thought it would be needless to put
the exception in the Sherman anti
trust law.
Il am very glad you sent me tht
editorial, and trust that if | can give
you any further information abou
this bill or other public matters. you
will have no heSitancy in calling upon
me"
