The Bail Game.

If the weather had been fair today an
immense crowd would have been present
to witness the match game between the
Stars and the Peoria Reds, who belong to
the Northwestern league. As it was there
was good attendance, but the lowering
clouds kept many away.
The game was started shortly before
three o'clock, with Clyde Wade, of Orion,
us umpire The Stars won the toss and
sent the Reds to the bat They hit Haw-
kins readily, but the basemen did good
work and no tallies were scored The
Stars batted well but were unfortunate,
and didn't get tally. The first man for
the Reds led off with three baser. The
Others hit well, and two tallies we're
scored The second inning was an
other blank for the Stars Bowen made
a good catch in the third inning. and the
other two were put out at first. Another
whitewash for the Stars in the third IN
ming
The Reds failed TO reach first base in
the fourth inning, the Stars holding tn EN-
pretty level The same old story for the
Stars in the fourth inning, In the fifth
'inning the Peorias upo nded the ball until
they got three runs. After two men were
out Sage got to third base, but was left
by Hawkins, who died at first
Both sides were hlanked in the Sixth
inning. but in the Seventh the Reds got
i'd two more runs, making the score stand
: to in their favor. The Stars played
well considering the excellence of their
competitors. and made very few errors.
No more ITALICS were made on either
de- and the final score was Z 10 O.
The management wish to announce
that the same clubs will play another
game tomorrow, as the Reds have sig
nifed their intention of remaining another
daV.

Finer stock of(ioods Never Kept Than
N0w--The Man Who Adyertises
The Successful One.

Never were finer stocks of goods kept
in Rock Island, and probably never so
fine as there is today. and at prices which
ought to satisfy any one. The display
shown by our dry goods dealers is espee
tally fine and shows that great care has
been exercised in the purchase OF their
goods This fact is recognized by well,
to-do people in very many of the smaller
towns along the railroads for twenty 10
thirty miles and sometimes more, and out
in the country from the railroad for many
miles. as they invariably come here when
they wish to purchase anything palticu-
larry good. They cannot be blamed for
doing so either, as people will do then
trading where they can do the best. both
in goods and prices. Very many of these
people are made aware of this state oil
things through the columns of the Rock
Island ARGUS Thus the business men
who advertise literally and iudicially rear
the greatest results. This has inevitably
been the case and always will be so. The
ARGUS is the medium to which people
look for such information, and it is be
coming more and more So every day The
merchant, the retail dealer in particular
who has an idea that he can do just a:
well in trade without advertising is very
! sadly mistaken, and the sooner he find:
| it out the better for him. Printers inl
judiciously used becomes great power
in the land.
