citizens of Moline, credited the priest
with having won the pennant for Mo-

the plate.
This did not set we'll with Judge NJ
F. Donegan Of Davenport, who, speak
ing for the tri-cities, declared that his
love for Father Kelly had waned some
what since being informed that it was
he who took the pannant honors from
Davenport. But in serious vein, Judge
Donegan said he is in favor of occa-
sions that present opportunity to tell
those who are dear to us how much
we think of them. There is much for
which to thank Father Kelly, said the
speaker, dealing with the fundamen-
