An Improvement.

Secretary Lardner, of the Daven-
port 4 Rock Island Railway company,
has adopted a new device for desig-
mating the numbers of the motormen
and conductors hereafter, in the wav
of button which is to be placed on
each side of the cap and on which the
mans number is stamped. With
this button and the number of the
badge, also, man can turn no way
that this number will not appear, the
company's idea being that it will
serve as a convenience to passengers
who may have occasion to note the
number of the motormau or con-
ductor, and hereafter the company
proposes to allow no man in charge
of a car in any capacity without the
regulation cap at least, bearing the
proper numbers. Heretofore it has
often occurred on big days that ex-
ira men have disregarded this rule,
but the company, which is anxious
to have men reported who do not do
their duty, has determined to enforce
it to the letter hereafter.

Saturdays Games.
In Saturdays game Rock Island
scored two in the first inning on
Sweeney's base on balls, Cantillon's
hit down the first base line, Figgi
meier's error while covering first
base to put Cantillon out, and Uncle
Joe katz' phase hit over the right
held fence. For Peoria Shaffer hit to
Cantillon and was put out at first,
Mutton got base on balls and stole
second, Seisler flew out to Katz and
Flynn hit to Connors, who was too
anxious to get the ball and made an
error. Mutton came home while
Flynn was playing between first and
second, but Flynn was thrown out at
second. Rock Island made one in
its half of the second. but Peoria
failed to score. Rock Island dittoed
Peoria in the third and fourth, re-
ceiving ciphers. In the fifth Rock
Island scored its last two. Cam
tillon made a hit and Katz hit to Sec
ond and forced him out. A minute
later Joe committed larceny by steal
ing the second bag, Hill flew out in
right and Zeis hit one to Delahanty,
who made rank error and allowed
katz to come home. Mike O'Connor
stepped to the rubber and made n
base hit, on which Zeis came home.
O'Connor was put out trying to steal
second. Right here was where Peo-
ria tried to delay the game. Only
one-half of the fifth was played and it
was raining pretty hard, so Mangan,
the first man to bat, fooled around
until Umpire Ward called him out
for not getting up to the plate. The
side was again retired without a
score. Rock Island failed to score
any more during the game, but III the
last OF the sixth Seisler, for Peoria
hit hard to short. but was put out at
first. Flynn hit slow to Connors
and beat the ball to first; although
it was clearly handled. Purvis got
base on balls. Delahanty hit 4 slow
one to third and beat the ball down
to first. Mangan hit to Cantillon,
who made an inexcusable error, and
Flynn and Purvls came home. Ter
rein went out at first on hit to Con-
nors, and on the play Delahanty
came home. Figgimeier went out at
first. The seventh was played in
a shower, and both pitchers
kept excellent control of the ball.
At the end of the inning Umpire
Ward called time for 20 minutes,
when the rain did not cease and Rock
Island won the game ) to A. 1t was
a game which was fought hard for,
and both mines deserve credit for
their efforts to win. The score is
appended:

AS predicted in The ARGUS of Sat
urday, the miners and others en-
ployed in the mines of the Coal VAL

back at work again. The men to the

While as a rule the coal famine,
like the financial furry of last fall,
has cut little figure with Rock ISL

as a matter of course, and it has in

although the stove works suffered
little suspension, and the pillow works

time, though this has not vet
been decided. The factories in
Moline, where the strike has been
most seriously felt, are expected to
resume in few days.
At Gilchrist and Viola, the mines
are about to start again, the men
having from the first been guided
in their course by the atti-
tude of their brother Golfers nj the
Coal Valley Mining compasy's plant.

The mines are started again with
the best of feeling all around, as far
as this section of the state is af-

them were concerned, from the first.
