Base Ball.

There is nothing new in base ball cir
cles. The old Stars are not dead, as many
suppose from their silence. Like the
good angel, they are only sleeping. The
Stars are waiting until the warm weather
subsidies, when they will wake from their
inactivity and arrange number of games.
The Stars ought to be encouraged. Just
what the intentions of the old base ball
association are, no one knows. We doubt
if any member of the association can tell
They have casket, figuratively speaking,
but no jewel. They may, when the ides
of September come in. secure club, and
play them the rest of the season.
The Evansville club, which was an ALI
ance club to the Northwestern league, has
secured the place in the league vacated by
the Bay City nine, and will take their
schedule and play the rest of the games
Hagan, our old manager, is now manag-
ing the Evansville club.
We have received the following COM
municatlon, which we gladly give space
to. We do not blame the members of the
Stars for being highly indignant over the
misrepresentation of the Davenport ca
2ette report Here is the communication
Rock ISLAND, July 80, 1884
Sporting Editor Rock Island Argus.
DEAR SIR:-In today's issue of the
Davenport Gazette, appears an article to
this effect, "A game of base ball played
between Davenport 80 and c. and Rock
Island STARS" at Davenport resulted in
favor of Davenport 20 and G" IL to II. -
Allow me to emphatically contradict that
they played against no such nine as the
Stars. Should they have done SO the re-
suit would probably have a glorious
defeat for the crack niue go and C' of
Davenport. We are at any and all times
prepared to cross bats with the 30 and
C's" on grounds mutually agreed upon by
the captains of both mines.
Yours very respectfully,
II. s. MCHENRY,
Acting captain Rock Island Stars.

Boyd.

Boyd, the colored man who was shot
bobbed into the ARGUS office last night as
fractions as a hot pea in skillet. Some
one had been reading him the account of
Reeds capture in the ARGUS and he felt
very much grieved that we had stated
that there was undue relations existing
between him and his slstersin>law, Miss
Payne. He said the statement was untrue
that his wife had hired Miss Payne to
keep house for him while she was away
and that was all there was of it. We
willingly give space to Mr.. BoYd's state
ment. We do not wish to misrepresent
him or any one else.

The Reporter.

A disappointed lower Rock Islander
complains that he does not know news
paper reporter when he sees one, and that
his grievances, consequently, die in his
bosom, since his employment does not
admit of him going to their headquarters,
and he is too illiterate to state them clear
ly on paper. This is too bad, but may be
easily remedied. Whenever weary man,
sad individual with a restless eve is
seen cutting diagonally across a street
crossing or otherwise, outraging the rules
of pedestrian propriety, be is either re-
porter or minister, with chances in favor
of the former. When man pulls up in
front of store and scratches few lines
on dainty piece of paper, looking at the
same time as if he could not call his soul
his own, he is reporter When you see
q man on the hop, skip and jump, who
looks neither to the right nor to the left
you can mark it down that he is re
porter, and is on track of big item. Lei
the man in the lower end look out for any
of these signs, and he can spot reporters
iu the future.

1t was pleasing sight to see the young
democrats in the lower end of the city
out drilling last night. There were just
Twenty-Five of them, and. every one of
them carried torch except the two tenor
drummers and the kid who blew fife.
They marched and counter marched, and
hating under the democratic flag on Sew
enth avenue and Twelfth street they gave
three hearty and loud cheers for Cleveland
and Hendricks, and then three more for
the American flag The boys are the sons
of parents who are members of the suns
nyside democratic club. and make nice
appearance on the streets.

A Trio.

There were three of them-one boy and
two girls. Their compilations were all
fair, and what wasn't fair was made fair
by the use of powder-the girls faces We
mean. They were from near LeClaire,
Iowa, and had come to see the sights, and
hand in hand they saw what was to be
seen In the afternoon they wandered
down to the ferry dock, and getting on
the west side of the dock they sat down
all in row on a long pole that would bob
up and down. The last seen of them they
were having great time bobbing up, and
wouldn't pay the least bit of attention to
two dudes who were trying to make a
mash on them.

SUBURBAN SIFTINGS.

Regular Correspondence to the Argus.
Coal VALLEY, July 29.-The many
refreshing showers and the intense heat foi
the past few days has had a good effect
on the corn crop. 1t is doing well in this
vicinity.
The Rev. McNeal, colored, from the NJ.
E. African church in Moline, preached
Sunday evening to good audience in the
Primitive church. He was to lecture on
Monday evening" but on account of sick
ness had to withdraw the engagement.
John T. Hass has finished burning
another fifty thousand brick kiln.
Mrs. Fred Freeberg went to Rock Isl
and on Saturday to visit her son. 1t is
reported that she has recently become a
grandmother.
s. H. Gordon returned from Kansas a
few days ago, and intends, before long, to
move TO place IN the northwestern part
of the state.
On account of so many local showers it
has been bad harvest weather Much of
the mown grass has been wet two OF
three times and is hardly worth gathering
into the stack or barn. The oats have
been tangled and lodged by the winds
when wet, till they are quite difficult to
gather. They are both fine crops.
The Rev. NJ. Noerre, of Hamburg,
Fremont county, Iowa, and formerly a
resident here, has been paying a visit
among friends and has for two Sabbaths
filed the pulpit in the Presbyterian church
to well filltd houses, on the second Sum
day administered the communion. The
church had six members added to its
number. There has not been any access
sions for some time, which could not help
but be pleasant thought to Mr.. N, as
well as encouraging to the little flock sit
ualed here.

Tnnk q Tumhla.

Il don't pay to jump off the cars when
they are running, as the farmer who
jumped off the Mercer County road on
Seventeenth street has found out. The
train was running pretty fast when the
farmer jumped off, and as he wasn't used
to getting off when the train was in
motion, he landed on his head in the
middle of the street, and if he didn't see
stars We miss our guess, When he arose
he scratched his head cussed little, and
started up town, vowing that in the future
he would wait until the train stopped,
even if he did have to ride clear up to the
Peoria depot.

When will the parents of this city learn
to keep their little dimpled darlings at
home? If they do not learn pretty soon,
some of these fine evenings they will
catch onto the fact that their little tod
dler has been killed or got drowned in
the river. Yesterday evening little fel ,
low named Thompson fell in the river.
and had not some men been standing on
the bank he would have been drowned.
