THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS. THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1914 NEWS OF THE SPORTING WOE HOT SURE, AFTER ALL, THAT WE ARE TO GET BASEBALL Ned Egan, Head of Ottumwa Team, Left to Finally De cide the Matter. HE'S MAKING GOOD WITH CHICAGO FEDS HERE SOUNDING SENTIMENT Says He Wants to Be Sure of a Wel come Before Cutting Looee From Preent Contract. $jm2fz. At CCS? A : - Si Tr It is not ret settled, after all. that Rock Island Is to have a professional baseball team. The prospects really are dubious, despite the fact that the Central association directors yesterday at Cedar Rapids voted to transfer the Ottumwa franchise to this city. Manager Ned Egan of the Ottumwa dab Is now In the city making a final canvass of the local situation before deciding as to bringing his club here and Is anxious to get an expression of the people who patronize baseball as to whether they will welcome him with ftifflcient patronage to Insure his team f Dishing the season without a big de- Beit. Mr. Egan is In a peculiar position. He Is at present under a two-year con tract with Ottumwa which protects him from personal loss. The association owes $1,500 to him and is willing to tarn the team over to him together with half the $600 guaranty In the j league sinking fund to call things square. If he accepts and brings the team to this city he cuts loose from Lis cod pact and must stand or fall on tis fortunes here. Ottumwa Is losing $50 a day now. Last year the attendance was 25,000 ' and this year It will be less. Win or lose, the support there has been poor for the last two or three years and all agree that a mistake was made in starting In the circuit this season. Vis iting teams are guaranteed $50 per game. Fourteen men are row carried and the salary limit is supposed to be $1,400 per month. Says Pace is Fast. For four years the city has had a first-class team, winning three pen cants. Last year 11 out of 13 men were sold to faster company in order to break even and a start was made to build up a new team. Mr. Egan insists fiat he has gathered some fine mater ial and that there should be no troub'e from now on In winning at least half the rames played. "We are really playing class B ball instead of class C," he said today. "Central association patrons get every bit as good sport as those of the Three Eye league and we have a better bal anced race. While the salary limit is supposed to be $1,400 it is actually . nearer $2,400. Other cities are drawing a great deal better than Ottumwa is. Cedar Rapids will come close to 100, (00 for this season and we have been greatly handicapped in meeting teams upported by such patronage. "1 can guarantee to Rock Island a grade of baseball w hlch will do the city credit, but of course I want to have ui I ted support if I come here. I don't want to be considered merely as an outside i promoter. I shall expect the people to adopt the team and to pull for It and if i can i get assurance of that kind of treatment I shall not come and it will fce up to the league to find a home for me club elsewhere.

The United States department of ag riculture has thoroughly tested a very unusual cure for the disease of horses called bots. Bots are the larvae of the horse bot fly and live in the stom achs of horses. They Interfere with digestive processes to such an extent as to cause loss of flesh, general poor condition and often death. Dislodging them is extremely difficult. In the treatment tested the horse was fed a little hay and oats in the morn ing and allowed to go without food the rest of the day. In the evening a purgative was given. Next morning the horse was given three drams of carbon bisulphide in a gelatin capsule three times at intervals of an hour. When the capsule reached the horse's stomach it dissolved, and the carbon bisulphide, a liquid that is extremely volatile at the temperature of a horse's body, evaporated rajldly. The gas suf focated the bots and other parasites in the horse's stomach without Injur ing the horse In the least. The remedy was tried with complete success on a larne number of anTected animals. Minneapolis Journal. Bang! The third baseman foozled the ball. Ping! A hit. Splash! The sec ond baseman Juggled the pill. Bins! A two-bagger and two Argus' men scor ed. Slam! Another error. Bingo! An other hit and more tallies. "Whitey" Tullsen threw his mitt In the dust and muttered things. "Did yah ever see such support?" he said. And so the combat went for the first five innings- in yesterday game be tween The Argus and Dispatch at the Augustana field. The Argus bunch se cured sweet revenge for the last trim ming they received at the hands of the Dispatchites. "Red"-Burriss pitched an excellent article Of ball for the winners and slowed up after the game was safe, al lowing the Moliners eight tallies In the last four frames. Had Tullsen re ceived better support in the opening frames the game would have been closer. The Dispatchites made no less than 12 mlsplays during the conn- bat. Cap Means of the Argus is the happiest personage alive today. Why should he not be? "Flick" has found his batting eye and lamnled out two safeties yesterday.

The "chesty" Union ball tossers waded into the Mail aggregation at the Island City park yesterday after noon and when the smoke of the bat tle cleared away the score read thusly: Union, 10; Mail, 7. Consequently the Unionites are only one game ' behind the league leaders, and some combat is promised when they meet next week. -The Islanders secured a leau in the first inning and held it all the way through.

Demetral is the undisputed heavy- . weight titleholder Of Greece, and came to America a few years ago to learo the American game.

There is a reason for this. They have within them craving and irresistible desire that up sets all good Intentions and will power. This "liquor appetite" is the result of accumulated alcohol In the system. Nature cannot expel the poi son and before the craving for drink can be overcome all alcohol must be eliminated and Its effect neutralized. The Neal Drink Habit Treatment does this in three days, without the use of painful hypodermic injections and the drinker escapes the torture that conies to those who try to stop with out help. Men cannot afford to be considered drunkards by their busi ness associates and if they care to re tain the confidence of business men and the love and respect of their wives and children, they must stop drinking. The easy, sure way to stop is to spend three days taking the Neal treatment at the Neal Institute. 821 Farnam street, Davenport, Iowa.
