Prince Joachim, Youngest Of Ho-
henzoIIerns' Commits Suicide
In Fit of Melancholy.
FAv0R|TE
Financial Difficulties, Sting Of Coun-
try's Defeat In War and Domestic
Troubles Broke Health and
Affected Mind.

Berlin-Prince Joachim of Hohen-
collern, youngest son of former En-
per0r William, committed suicide in
Potsdam. Advices from that city say
he shot himself while in his residence,
the Villa Leignitz. He was removed
to St. Joseph's hospital where he died
an hour later.
Joachim is believed to have been in
financial straits and had been suffer
ing from great mental depression. He
recently brought suit for divorce. The
only member Of the former imperial
family now in Potsdam is Ethel F'rede-
rick, the second son OF the former en-
peror.
Prince Eitel, questioned as to the
motive for his borther's suicide, de-
clined to make any statement, refer
ring the correspondent to the official
announcement that Joachim was sui
fering from "a fit of excessive demen-
tia"
kaiser's Favorite Son.
Prince Joachim. was was born De-
cember II, 1890, in Berlin, was the
sixth son, and was believed to have
been the favorite Of the former en-
peror. After the defeat of the Ger
mans in the war, it was rumored that
the kaiser would abdicate in favor of
Joachim.
The humiliation of the Allied peace
terms and the downfall of the Hohen-
zollern house weighed heavily upon
the proud, militaristic mind of the
youngest prince; more SO than upon
his more phlegmatic brother princes.
The refusal of the German people to
continue to treat him as prince Of
ruling house, together with his lost
popularity, also rasped his vain-glori-
Gus nature and led him to excuses in
gambling, drink and with women,
which wrecked his home life and re-
suited in brooding melancholia settling
upon his mind.
Joachim's mother, the former en-
press, is said to have been informed
of her sons suicide. 1t was feared
that the shock Of the tragedy would
greatly aggravate the illness from
which she has been suffering the past
year.

Playing Field at Home Under Wa
ter and Rock Island Allows
Second Transfer.

1t is reported that the outfield
gardens in the Peoria baseball park
are still under about eight inches
OF water. All of which makes it
impossible for Peoria to appear be-
fore the home folks as per schedule
today. tomorrow and Friday. Rock
Island was due to depart today for
Peoria to engage the Tractors in
a three-game series. but late yes
terday President Jack Ryan of the
Peoria club wired President Muel-
Ter Of the islanders for permission
to keep his club here for the three
games. The request was granted.
So Peoria remains for a second
series in Rock Island while the
folks at home are anxiously await
ing for first glimpse at Jackson's
new team. Looks like better
weather now, so Islander fans
should not neglect to go out to
Douglas park in the afternoons on
week days if at all possible. The
games do not start until 3:45
o'clock.
AS The games with Peoria now
stand. the Islanders have won two
and lost one. From now on it will
be a struggle between the teams
to obtain the edge before the next
three days have passed. Jack Tighe

SECOND INNING NETS PEORIA
five RUNS THAT WOULD NOT
HAVE Been IF WARM, PERHAPS
Anyhow God Baseball Cannot Be
Played in Cold Weather-It
Was q Gift.

About all that can be said of the
ball game at Douglas park yester-
day afternoon between Peoria and
Rock Island is that it was darn
cold. And that covers it all for
players and spectators alike. The
athletes found it too much to get
muscles limbered up under the arc
tic conditions and the contest
Jagged along for two hours and
twenty minutes, with Peoria far out
in front after the second round.
The final score was: Peoria, q;
Rock Island, 2.
That second spasm could have
been worse had Peoria done any
hitting in it, but four of the five
runs scored in the session were
gifts. One must be credited as
earned because the runner walked
to first, second, third and home
Four men up; four bases on balls.
That was the first one Then with
the bases clogged, Hanson hit to
Benson, who scooped the ball for IA
double killing at second and first,
but threw the pill to left field in
stead and two men registered. If
the double play had gone through
the side would have been retired.
AS it was it left men on third and
second and Brown came through
with the only hit of the inning, the
ball travelling to center field and
scoring two runners Jackson
struck out and Brown was doubled
at second in attempting to steal.
O'Neil started on the mound for
Rock Island. The first two men up
were easy infield outs. Dresser
struck out. In the second O'Neil
got an easy out on kolls and ap-
peared to be going along in win
ming style. Then he lost sight of
the home plate and choked the
bags on free tickets before Tighe
yanked him and sent Dougherty to
the mound. Dougherty couldn't set
tie down to start with and walked
the first man to face him. After
that he got going in better style
and pitched winning ball for the
rest Of the game. But for that in
ming the Islanders would have
stood a mighty good chance of bag
ging the third straight off of the
once-chesty Tractors.
The Islanders staged a rally n
the third and eighth innings that
Melted a run each time. touching
Hanson as freely as Dougherty was
getting raped by Peoria batters.
But Hanson was just wild enough
to be effective and although he is
sued seven bases on balls he man
aged 10 hold the reins tightly. Once
he wavered, and Bill Jackson got
anxious. But he pulled through
unscathed and the game went on
to its slow death.
Without the warmth Of the sun,
the cold breeze swept across the
field from the north and chilled
players and spectators. The play
ers' hands were blue with the cold
while the spectators sat huddled in
overcoats. Oh, boy it'll be a

HIGH ATHLETES
BETTER MOLINE
SCHOOL RUNNERS
BY sFRY,,

The Rock Island high track
squad had its first practice on 4
cinder track last night. 1t had
been decided to have a dual meet
this week with Moline but the
Swedes backed out and a practice
meet was held instead. The points
were not counted but Rock Island
had the edge on Moline in almost
every event.
The Moline squad had the ad-
vantage. running on their own field.
The Islanders are used to the sod
track of the Reservoir park and
it took little time to get used to
the cinders.
In the mile and half mile Moline
had the edge on the Islanders, but
in the other events the islanders
were supreme. In the mile Berry.
one Of Rock Islands strongholds,
split his shoe in the first lap. In
the dashes Paddock was running in
good form. He and Harper were
far superior to any of the Moline
runners. Milstead proved himself
to be Splinter of no mean ability.
In the start Of the half-mile relay
the Moline man beat the gun about
three feet. In spite of this handi-
cap the big boy passed his oppon-
ent and touched the next Rock Is
land man 10 feet in the lead. The
Rock Island relay team with that
start came in ahead.
Just who will go to Galesburg
next Saturday is still unknown. The
men are fighting for places and the
pick is still uncertain.
