CHAMBERLIN's NINE,

INNINGS
Chamberlin's Nine...9 0 o 9 8 5
TINE OF GAME-Three hours and thirty min
utes.
UNPIRE-Mr. Albert Warren.
JUDGEs-Dayid Hakes, Albert Warren and
OlonZo Badders.
SCoRER-Walter Gates.
The committee awarded the belt to Edgar
Glenn, though there are many who think it
rightfully belonged to Harry Plat; while
many say that, had the decision been left to
the spectators, Harry would have received it.
We did not suppose that the belt was to be
awarded to the man who made the most
runs-but it seems that that matter had
great weight with the committee. Why
should not the committee consider other
matters For instance: it is considered
quite point to catch fly balls. Harry
caught and Edgar 2. 1t is big thing to
run from third base home while the ball is
going from catcher to pitcher. Few dare
undertake it, and it is rare that any one sue
ceeds who does try it. Harry undertook it
and succeeded. He made one bat which
was the best made by anybody, and ran to
the third base before the ball came
home from the field. There are also 9th
er points of difference favorable to Harry,
but it is hardly worth while to enumerate
them now. Harry and Charley PIatt are &C
knowledged by the whole town to be the
best general players in the club. 1t is true
that the first nine are very even players and
it is hard to choose between them-especial-
ly when Chamberlin, Glenn, Sturgeon and
Solander are added-but we think the gem
eral verdict would be in favor of the Platts
However, the belt is awarded, though we do
not agree that exact justice was done. And
we think there are few, in or out of the club,
who did not expect Harry would get it.
Mr.. Roy D. Cross must, of course, have
his joke, and he presented Robert Bailey
with huge tin horn with red string and
tassel, for being the poorest player. Bob is
a very good player, but he seemed to have
particularly bad luck, yesterday, in being
put out.
During the afternoon match game was
played at Moline between the third nine of
the Prairie State Club, of this city and the
second nine of the Young America Club, of
Moline. The game was played for base
ball bat, and resulted as follows Prairie
States &c Young America 38. Of course
the bat was awarded to the Prairie States.
The Wapellos have accepted the challenge
of the Pioneer Club, of Geneseo, to play a
home and home match. The latter club
has appointed the first game to be played in
Geneseo, Thursday, June 6, commencing at
"a. III.
1t is the intention of the Wapellos, if pos
sible, to charter one or two cars for the trip
to Geneseo, to accommodate their friends in
this city, Davenport, Moline and Camden,
and, perhaps, add little something to their
treasury. The idea is good one, and we
hope enough of their friends will attend to
render it success.

SQUIRE BENNETT ON NAvIGATIoN.-When
Squire Bennett, of Galva, was electioneer-
ing through this county, he stopped at
Hampton for dinner and, while eating din
nar, he heard q steamboat whistle, and asked
what it was. He was told. He then mani
tested surprise that steamboats, were able to
come up there. ''How far up is this river
navigable?" he asked. "About 500 miles
above here" was the answer. ''Why," said
the candidate for judicial honors, 81 didn't
know Rock River was navigable so high up
as this p He had been travelling in sight
of the Mississippi from this city to Hampton,
and yet supposed himself on Rock River
This piece of stupidity was not favorable to
his election in Hampton.

ACARD FROM THE
American Watch Company
OF
wALTHAN6, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than a million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce $4,000 Wat
ches year, and make aud sell not less than
half of all the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this European watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the resnlt
of nsSsss sh Ct ha Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland; and
the result is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and
so-calied Patent Levers-which soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.
The American waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain proeess-and by such incom-
petent workmen. All the company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, carried on under
one roof and under one skillful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
a hundred parts of every watch is made by a ma
chine-that infaIlibly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch of one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part of
that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
part must be like it.
The company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
tenn. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold O
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the IN
dispensable requisite of all their watches Is tnat
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that, except their single lowest
grade named "Home Watch Company, Boston,
ALL WATCHES made by them $3.50
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee is good
at all times against the company or its agents.

4 GRAND EPOCH In MEDICINE.

DIR. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most viruient and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
DR.. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of MaggiePs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost elassed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggieps Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chlbains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallible.

Returning to her country home, after a sojourn

any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, nature herself is simple, yet un-

An EFFRcTUAL WORM MEDIcINE.-BROWN'S
VERMIFUGE COMFITS, Or Worm Lozenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "Vsrmifuge Comfts," al
though effectual in destroying worms, can do
no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been success
fully used by physicians, and found to be safe
and in Graduating worms, SO hurtful to
children.
Children having Worms require immediate at
tention, neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
Symptoms of Worms in children are often over
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use
of q sure remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com
