BASE BALL.

II, ports That some or the Rock Isl.
aud club sold Themselves In Iowa
City---OayenpOrt Downs Dubuque.
The Iowa City Republican claims that
some of the members of the Rock Island
base ball aggregation "sold out" in the
Iowa City game Tuesday. The paper
alluded to says that "at least four of the
nine men are the guilty parties. In order
to make a little money they sold out IT,
certain young gamblers in this city-thai
is, for money consideration, these four
larkies agreed to see to it that the Uni
versties came out ahead yesterday. This
was easily done and the result was a
most one sided game. To an expert
enced ball player, it was not hard to see
that the four men in question were not
doing their duty. AS it was generally
believed that the Rock Islanders were
tritle stronger team than the college boys.
the impression was allowed to get
out that the former would easily win the
game. This impression resulted in inno-
cent Iowa City people betting large sums
with those who were in the secret. Sure,
ly such practices ought to he most severes
ly condem ned We do not think it is
night for base ball players to be dshon-
est and the guilty men from Rock Island
should be dismissed Five of the nine
players came to this office and protested
against their associates dishonesty We
all want to see base ball but we want to
see it honestly played

to anywhere from 500 900 TO $500. 900 per month,
