Verdict of all concerned: Sentenced
to be shot at sunrise. Who? That
weather man
Hundreds Of employees in the Moline
factories had planned to attend the
opening game, quitting work at noon.
Then it rained and they changed their
minds.
Heine Biltz's two-bagger was the
longest drive of the game, the pill
rebounding off the fence in center.
Listers problematical inield again
showed its work yesterday. Stocker,
Sargent and Erlewein all played classy
games in the field. Sargent also
showed we'll at the bat and had play
ed a glorious game all afternoon, I'M
til Dobbins' bounder got past him in
the eighth. What's the diff?-one run
was enough.
The Moline fans rode" Lister for
getting caught off first on two occa-
sions by snap throws from Dobbins.
1t would never have happened on a
dry field, as Pete slipped and fell both
times. Hold Eller was caught in the
same manner by Munich.
Wolfe put up speedy exhibition in
right field, capturing one hard fly and
came near executing a great running
catch of a foul. He got under Dob
bins two-bagger, but couldn't hold the
pill Boston also collected two hits
and all of this with a weak ankle.
Not a very suspicious opening for
the renowned ex-Fed battery, Blue
jacket and Simon, in Hannibal yes
terday The Mules took the Bloom
ers to trimming.
Dick Staley, the Hume, H., tonsor
ial artist, was the only player to come
in for any notice at the opening. In
the sixth frame, Charley Skinner,
prexy Of the Moline association, skip
ped gracefully out to the platter and
handed Dick nice green box Of
choice cut flowers, presented by the
admirers in the Plow city. That ought
to be an incentive, Dick.
Ray Falk, Moline's speedy short
stop, was the slugger of the opener,
collecting three hits, one of them
double.
Branch Hickey, business manager Of
the st. Louis Americans, told mem
bers of the st. Louis Rotary club re-
Gently that baseball was more of an
asset to a city than music THE
Browns don't need any advertising"

Rowlands lost again, 5 to g. They had
two Of these runs as a working mar
gin when Cleveland began outgaming
the Chicago athletes.
No one in particular, and everyone
in general, including the manager, can
be blamed for the defeat. The Sex
got II hits and should have had the
game sewed up tighter than yokel's

ing Bertha stunt, then passed over his
job to Wolfgang, who made the beating
unanimous. In other words, it is the
old story of hitting when the pitchers
are wobbly and failing to wallop the
pill when the slab artists are going
good.

Women Of Iowa Do Not Want Ballot.
Editor The Courier:
The women of Iowa have not been
given a chance to express themselves
on the question of equal suffrage. It
is we'll known fact that less than 10
per cent favor it. ] will admit that
this small minority have the knack Of
making so much fuss and noise as to
make the number appear much larger.
But they do not deceive the we'll in
formed thinking voters. Women of
Iowa do not want the ballot with all
the burdens and responsibilities it
carries and the men Of Iowa will never
vote to put them in position where
they will have to bear such burdens
and share such responsibility. In the
states now having plural ballot the
women who enter politics, actively
resort to tricks such as no men would
ever think of using. The voters Of
Iowa will never make it possible for
the women Of Iowa to be placed in a
position where they will be tempted
in suffrage states. That the casual

these states has not learned of these
tricks and methods, most demoraliz-
ing, is no proof that they do not exist.
The good men who have not been
driven out OF politics by woman suf-
frage, as, is the tendency, know and
have testified. It is demoralizing.
Archbishop James J. Keane says,
THAT woman could vote as intelli.
gently as men but she could not enter
into the contentious, too demoralizing
arena of politics without suffering 2
deterioration of character, and taking
much Of her power which her charac-
teristic virtues secure to her when
she is true to herself and her sacred
office. The advocacy OF equal suffrage
by socialists and feminists generally
tends to show that the movement Is
not in the direction Of social order or
Christian ideals. The advocates Of
