As Miss Gwendolyn Reese of St. Paul is out of the competition because of sick ness. the western title goes to the Cal ifornia young woman.

Whitman gave the i westerner a merry battle to annex the honors, having the advantage in games in the first two sets, but McLoughlin tightened whenever necessary and came out with flying colors.

Evansville retains its berth in the Central league by a decision of the team own ers reached at a meeting here yes terday, it wa decided that the OTTO VOGEL - , HI . m m ----- "V'-'L. Hard hitting Islander second base man who had a homer, two triples and a double to bis credit in the second game at Peoria yesterday. league should take over the fran chise and conduct the club in Evans ville for the remainder of the sea son. There will be no change in the management, and Dr. F. R. Carson of South Bend, president of the league, said all back salaries due the members of the Evansville team would be paid Monday. The magnates also decided to make no changes in the clubs, and this means that South Bend, whose team was transferred to Grand Rap Ids, Mich., when the latter club was moved to Newark, Ohio, will be without Central league baseball dur ing the remainder of this season. President Carson 6ays the finances of the other clubs In the league are In good shape and he hopes the pres ent plan will end the troubles of the league. FIGHT DATE IS SETTLED WoIgast-McFar-.and Battle to lie Staged in .Milwaukee, Sept. 1 5. Chicago, July 29. Frank Mul kern, promoter of the Wolgast-Mc-Farland go in Milwaukee, last night definitely fixed the date for the mil! at Sept. 15. Several dates had been mentioned for later in the month, but the fighters declared they were an xious to get together as early as possible and the date was moved ahead a few days. Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wol gast, who has been in San Francisco reading the telegraph reports of his fighter signing for the go, arrived in Chicago last night. He denied there had been a split between him and the champion and declared he was the happiest man in the country be cause of the match. He said he would like to have had the weight 133 ringside, which he calls the le gitimate lightwe'ght limit, but that Ad could whip Packey at any weight and that fact he was sure of.

FROM T0SSERS OF DECADE Most of Them Are Still in the Game and Are Making Good in Higher Circuits. Mr. Fan, whom would you choose from the players who have come and gone or stayed with the Rock Island baseball team in the last 10 years? Of late, that is a topic that has in terested several of the fans who follow the game most closely. They have been perusing the records which are being made by the men in the big leagues who have at one time or an other played with the Islanders and have helped to bring home many a vic tory. But it is not to make up an all star team from among those who have made good in the big leagues, but to choose a team of players who put up the best game in their particular posi tion while with the Islanders. M A X V TO ( HOOKK PHOM. It is not an easy matter to pick a team from among the players who have worn the Islander uniform in the last decade, for at least 100 have come and gone. In some departments there is but one who stands out more promin ently than others, while in other de partments the players were on a par. One of the fans has suggested the fol lowing all-star team: Fielders Walter Carlisle, Clyde Mc- j Bride and Frank Murphy. Flr6t Baseman Pete Lister. Second Baseman John Wanner. Shortstop Bill Sweeney. Third Baseman Harry Kelly. Catchers Dan O'Leary and Jack Mc Connell. Pitchers Frank Lakaff, George Har din, Christy Wilson and Billy Neal. Utility George "Peachy" Graham. STII.L. ANOTHER OMBI 4TION. Still another fan suggests the fol lowing all-star lineup: Fielders Clyde McBride. Bill JacoV sen and Lige Wooley. First Baseman Joe Slattery. Second Baseman Otto Vogel. Shortstop Joe Berger. Third Baseman Harry Kelly. Catchers Dan O'Leary and John Gonding. Pitchers Frank Lakaff. Christy Wilson, "Pug" Cavet and Walter Queisser. If it would be possible to get togeth er the above players, there would be corking good teams. With the excep tion of John Wanner and Frank Mur phy, who are out of the game because J of illness, every ore of the players is still in the game and all of them are making good with their respective teams and are helping to pull down the games. GARDNER AND SECKEL PLAY FOR THE TITLE Riverside Seta New Record for Golf Course In Defeating Byers Yesterday. Detroit. July 29. Chicago will get the western golf championship again. Both Chicago players won their semi-final matches from the Pittsburg representatives at the De troit Golf club here. Robert A. Gard ner of Hinsdale, former national championship, defeating W. C. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburg, present national champion, 4 and 3, and Al bert Seckel of Riverside defeating E. M. Byers of Pittsburg in a run away match, 7 and 6, settling a new record of 68 for the course in do ing it. Gardner and Fownes did not put np the golf of which they are capa ble, but their match was close, Gardner having a lead of 2 up at noon, which he increased to 3 at the 27th hole. Then he gained another at the 12th In the afternoon and ended the match by halving the re mainder to the 15th. His mother and his sister, Mrs. W. Frances An derson, former women's western champion, arrived from Chicago yesterday and watched his playing. Seckel had a 73 In the morning, which gave him a lead of 3 at the end of the third, and Byers had no chance whatever In the afternoon round. Seckel was out In 33, win ning five and losing one hole, and came In in 35, Byers getting halves in the three holes he played, the match ending at the 13th because of the 4 Seckel gained in the afternoon. Baseball Boiled Down The Islanders will play on the Pretzel lot tomorrow afternoon, be ginning a series of four games. Harry Hughes was in old time form yesterday and won the second game for the Islanders. Otto Vogel sure did ping the pill yesterday. A homer, two triples and a double in four chances in the sec ond game yesterday. The northern teams will fight amongst themselves for a few days while the southern teams contest for the bunting on their own lots. Umps Guthrie benched Manager Gonding yesterday and then ousted him from the park. He evidently was trying to get back into the good graces of the Peoria fans after his close shave from a riot on the day previous. It looks as though Pitcher Cooke's ineffectiveness and six errors were equally responsible for the first de feat yesterday afternoon. That was in the first game. In the second game the Islanders came back and showed the Distillers up. For a while at Decatur, it looked as though two season tickets, offer ed to the fans who made a correct guess, would go a begging. How ever, by some method the fans have been persuaded to enter the contest and now the Interest is at a high key. Tomorrow is boom day at Decatur. President Justice of the Central association is directing a meeting cf the magnates of his circuit today in Hannibal. TI object of the meet ing is to take over the team and franchise of that burg, so that the season may be continued to the end with eight clubs. Hannibal is on the bottom in the race. Ilardgrove, castoff Islander pitch er, worked for Tom Starke's Mon mouth aggregation and won from Keokuk, 4 to 3 in 12 innings, fan ning 12 batters. Tom aided in the victory by rapping out three hits. Incidentally, Tom's team, which at first seemed hopelessly on the bot tom now Is in fifth place and gaining steadily. Memphis, Tenn., July 29. "Bugs" Raymond, the eccentric New York pitcher, has repented and will be given another chance to reform in Memphis, according to M. J. Finn, scout for the New York Nationals, who was here perfecting arrange ments for Raymond to finish the sea son with the local Southern league team. Manager McGraw of the Giants will raise the ban of suspen sion on Raymond. Memphis an nounced the purchase of Pitcher Ce cil Ferguson from the Boston Na tionals.

PAYS A TRIBUTE TO CAP, RUTH ERS Hugh Nicol, Now Cincinnati Scout, Regrets Fate of Famous Old Player. LATTER DYING AT PEORIA Former Islander Manager Making Tour of Threo-Ere Looking Over Inflelders. Hugh Nicol, former manager ol Three-Eye league clubs and now phys ical director at Purdue university and incidentally scout for the Cincinnati HUGH NICOU club In the National league, was a call er at The Argus ofilce last night Nicol. it will be remembered was manager of the Rock ford Three-Eye league team during therearly days of the organiza tion and in 1902 he won the pennant for that city. Afterwards ho managed Peoria when that city joined the circuit and st III later he managed the Rock Island team for a pirrt of a season. Ni col as stated is on a scouting tour ot th ThreeEye league In search of play ers, particularly inflelders, for the Cin cinnati team. He 'discussed a number of Three Eye stars whom be has been watching. TRIBI TB TO C H R U TITTER S. The subject of Hobby Carrutbers tM old time player and umpire who i inning of his life in a Feoria eanltar lum arose and it brought forth an ex pression of 6orrow and a tribute from Nicol. He said, "it make? mo sick ta hear of poor Bobby Carruthers' fate. You know a quarter of a century ago he and I were teammates on what I believe without boasting was the fast est ball club ever put in the field. It was the St. Louis Browns, a team teat repeatedly won the pennant In whar is now the American league and onr was the champions of the world.

We owed our low BtrinR of victories mainly to the won derful work of our twfrlern. It wa generally conceded that Carrutherj was the best of them and more was the greatest of any pitcher in any of the leagues of his day. He was the idol of the St. Ioiiis fans and in fait wherever baseball was played ths name of CarrutherK stood for tho high eat ability in pitching. WO TIIK WOHI.ir TITI.B.
