Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-01

McGraw's Giant team, as 1t
stacks up now, will be the oldest
club in the big leagues. based on
the ages of the players and the
length of big league experience.
In the infield McGraw is plan
ming on Hal Chase at first, Larry
Doyle at second, Art Fletcher az
short and Heinie Zimmerman at
third.
Chase is the oldest regular player
in point of service in the big show
at this time, and of course dean of
the first sackers. Leon Ames, Card
ilal pitcher. is the only active play
er in the big leagues who was in
them when Chase joined the Yam
KEGS in 1905. He is 35.
Doyle is SO. He was 81 when he
went south last spring, in digging
up his birth certificate for the draft

ROWLANDS MAY
TRAIN TEAM ON
DOUGLAS FIELD
Manager Of Milwaukee American
Association Baseball Club Seeks
City As Spring Practice Site.
Wouid Bring Cleveland, White So4
St Paul aEid Minneapolis Here
for Early Tits.

Rock Island may be chosen as
spring training grounds for men,
bers Of the Milwaukee club Of the
American association under the
management OF Clarence Rowlands,
former Chicago White Sox pilot, &C
cording to advice reaching this city
today.
Max Ochs, Davenport baseball
fan de luxe, who has Just returned
from Excelsior Springs, Mo, re-
ports that such a proposition was
mentioned to him by Rowlands,
who is soiourning at the springs.
The matter Is to be taken up with
the Rock Island city commission If
cording to Ochs. Douglas park,
former Three-Eye league field, has
been chosen by Rowlands for prac-
tice.
II the Milwaukee team trains here
tri-city baseball fans will have an
opportunity of seeing big league
ball, as Rowlands stated that he
has arrangements made for practice
games with the Cleveland Ameri-
cans, Chicago White Sox and the ST.
Paul and Minneapolis clubs of the
American association.
Rowlands was for four seasons
manager of the Chicago White Sox
of the American league. Under his
bosslng that team won the league
pennant and world series rag. He
Is also we'll known among fans Of
the Three Eye league, having pilot
cd the Dubuque and Peoria teams
on this circuit for several seasons.
Such plan as the Milwaukee
manager contemplates would with
out doubt mark a revival of in
terest IN tho national pastime here,
and should serve as a decided i'm
petus In bringing league ball to the
trt-cities, next season If not this
year.
City Agreeable?
Although the matter has not yet
been preached to the Rock Island
city commission, in all probability
tho scheme will not meet with any
opposition in that quarter.

To the Citizens of Rock Island. me-
n0a1:
take this occasion to announce
myself as a candidate for the office
of Mayor, on the following plat
form:
I stand for a square deal for all
classes Of people, rich or poor, re-
gardless of their station in dife
sect, creed or color.
/ am in favor of law and order,
and its strict enforcement
| In times of epidemic. believe in
a reasonable enforcement Of the
good judgment, but strictly and
| rigidly, If necessary.
! / am opposed TO making our city
the dumping ground for thugs
thieves and robbers, even under the
guise of industrial necessity, as my
recent fight for the removal of pa
, rolled convicts will prove.
/ stand for home rule for cities,
with power to control and regulate
public utilities serving its people
| but am in favor OF their having
fair and reasonable compensation
for service rendered.
l pledge myself to resist to the
utmost any attempt to secure
! seven-cent car fare. If street car
lines wish to increase the wages VI
! their employees, 1 am in favor OF
| them doing so out of their exces-
sive profits and dividends, and not
| place this burden on the travelling
public.
1t is my plan to institute pro
ceedings to reduce the cost of gas
and electricity. to the pre-war ba-
sis.
l am now and always have beer
in favor of public improvements
| but under proper conditions. Al
I the present time, cost of materials
and freight rates are so high. thai
the cost OF improvements are prac-
tically prohibitiVe, excepting in en-
! ergencies.
l believe in progress. and have
been identified with most of the
great improvements inaugurated IL
this city in the last thirty years.
| laid the first paving brick on Sec
|
tablish the first paid fire depart
ment; 1 inaugurated a system OF
| grades and enforced the building OF
permanent sidewalks; l was instru-
mental in securing and erecting the
public library; 1 rebuilt and com
pleted the reservoir; l started and
| inaugurated the Rock Island PAX
system; l helped plan and arrange
financial system, whereby the city
of Rock Island has paid off debts
! contracted almost fifty years ago,
by means Of refunding bonds
through the state treasury, which
plan was instituted by me twenty
years ago. My present admins
tration was responsible for the &C
| curing of the Belt Line" which
has been talked of for the past for
ty years, opening a free railway
right-of-way to all railroads oper-
ating in our city from our eastern
city limits to our southern limits on
Rock river.
Unlike most candidates, I do not
stand on a platform of promises.
For 1 have a record Of accomplish
ments behind me, of which l am
not ashamed. l believe I have not
only the experience, but also the
knowledge and ability to guide the
city of Rock Island through Ins
financial shoals it is at present en-
countering, into a sound and safe
financial harbor for the future.
If you thik am still progressive
enough, and have the stamina and
nerve, to stand and fight for what
think is right and for the best in
terests of the city and its people, I
ask you to give me your support.
rot only at the primaries. but also
at the election.
