LOSE OPENING GAME

The Tri-City Colored Giants base
ball team of Rock Island lost its open
ing game yesterday afternoon TO the
Putnam Building nine of Davenport
by a score of 10 10 5. The contest
was staged AT the Mitchell Bluff
grounds in Davenport.
This is the first game TO be played
by Tri-City amateur mines. The col
ored boys from Rock Island seemed
TO have no pitchers effective enough
TO stop the onslaught of the Iowans.
and in addition played rather slowly
in the field.

WNSiitNCTON. Au.. p
Within u month n complete
revolution has taken place in
tho political situation. Fol
lowing are tho changes:
4. A revival of business
headed by war orders, but
followed by genuine indus-
trial revival, has robbed the
standpatters of their princi-
pal issue;
2. The administration has
adopted the military prepar-
edness issue almost to the
extent advocated by ROOse-
welt and Augustus p. Gard
ner. abandoning entirely the
Bryan pacifist watchful-wait-
ing attitude;
3. The prOgressives of the
country have concluded sud-
denly and quite unanimously
not to return to the party of
their daddies, but to continue
their organization and name
candidates;
4. National prohibition
has become a looming issue
with HObson and Bryan as
likely rivals for the presi-
Dental nomination on that
platform.
Back of all this looms the pos
ibility of war. nj everybody
