NOT DISCOURAGED.
I'VE did not expect successful trip
in point of victories when we started
out. said President Hodges this morning,
Indeed. l have felt from the first that if
our boys came home with third-yes,
fifth OF the games to our credit, we ought
to be satisfied. and this believe they will
do. We started out under the dissdvan-
taae of mo- having practiced together, and
further than that, with known weakness
in the box, for we have regarded Bsxen-
dale in the light of an experiment, al
hough we had assurances sufficient to
warrant the belief that we might have in
him a find, or 'phenom,' as they say in
base ball. Our salary limit does not ad-
NIT Of hiring high priced men, and has
| consequently deprived US of some first

spending. Nevertheless we have some
good men in view, and the best will yet
be secur. d. and all men unable to fill
their positions properly, released. When
O'Day. our new second baseman, joins
the team and we get the pitchers we want
we will be trotting with the best of them,
you can stick pin in that"
ON THE SIDE.
Dale and Mackey led with the willow.
Peoria seems to have played horse with
our boys instead of ball.
Speaking of the weather, it is better to
be swamped here than in Peoria
Bsxendale seems to be an exploded
phenom-snd pretty expensive one too.
Sage and Martin constitute today's

The question naturally arises would the
Twin-Citys have Jared so badly had they
not been in the distillery city.
Ye goods. at this rate how will we fare
at Terre Hsute and Evansville! Will we
ever get ut of Hoosierdons
Harry Sage made brilliant record be-
hind the bat having nine put outs. and
three errors, base hit and run.
Mutton, an old i. league player, has
been signed by Manager Sage. He played
second base yesterday and played well.
The Twin Cities have good team, and
better work may be looked for from them
as the season sdvances.-Peoris Tran

According to the Peoria papers yester-
days game in that city was distinguished
by the length Of time it took to play it,
and the rank umpiring of Rauschkolb.

A correspondent in last nights Moline
Dispatch signing himself III. K. Altz-
Base Ball Crank. is sorsly grieved at the
heading Of THE ARGUS base ball column
on Thursday evening, will Win Without
Wynn" and pores forth lot of rubbish
about how Moline has gotten the worst
of it in the joint base ball organization,
taking occasion at the same time to
note the fact, that the club did not win
without Wynn" While the latter obser-
walton is undoubtedly true, Mr.. AlIz is
unduly sensitive over mere bit of
pleasantly. Rock Island has no objec-
ton whatever to Wynn, neither does THE
ARGUS believe Manager Sage has. Wynn
should haye shown up Thursday morning
and gone to Peoria with the boys and
there would have been no occasion for
the joke to which THE ARGUS yielded to
the pressure of circumstances to make.
