heard more about the troubles of
managers and of releases and sign
ings than of the actual game.
In spite of all sorts of predictions.
base ball continues to be popular.
There is no indication that it will
soon cease to be the recognized
game of the nation.
Bases stolen.
Sage and his players, it seems,
could not win with company of reg
ulars to back them up.
Quincy's old first baseman, good
natured Krehmever, is playing in
right field. SOmmers is PLAYING
first. and Mangan. Peoria's old short
stop, is playing third base.
The Rock Islands seem to have de-
termined to beat Quincy out of the
tail end of the league. A brave stag
ger at it was made yesterday. Keep
it up, boys, and you will get there.
Ed Cline with federal soldiers
suit might have an electrifying effect
upon some of the stock yard strikers,
but his appearance here in the toga
OF umpire, is anything but edifying.
Chapen. the little fellow from ST.
Louis, who was given trial at short
yesterday. showed up in great form.
He only had one error and that an ex-
cusable one. He also made a nice
hit and as neat a sacrifice as one
would want.
J. c. Smith. the new pitcher from
Whitewater, Wis, pitched yesterday
and showed not only great speed, but
curves as well. He is also an excel
lent stricken and base runner, and
had two nice hits and two runs to
his credit Yesterday.

CLINE WAS OFF.
Rock Island Lost Through Rank Judgment
on Balls and Strikes.

Several weeks ago a little fellow,
Jimmie Ward by name, came here to
umpire few games in Rock Island.
Jim ME was a little bit yellow, and
said, "Well, i am rather punk, but |
can do worse" Ed Cline came here
and umpired his first game last Sat
urday, and since his debut in Rock
Island, he has gone from bad to
worse, until yesterday the height of
his yellowness was as high as stee-
pie.
When the game was called, Cline,
took his position behind McGrevev,
with Daniel Dionysus Sweeney at
the bat. Here he showed his knowl-
edge of balls and strikes in
"a most gangrenous manner. He
would call strike to reach
which little Danny Sweeney would
have had to borrow one of the old
electric light towers to touch. But
Danny got base. Cantillon hit to
Sommers and that gentleman errored,
katz sacrificed, and while Zeis was
at the bat johnson had passed ball
and Sweeney came home. Cantii-
Ion tried to do the same, but was
put out at the plate. Zies made a
base hit and was put out stealing
second.
For Quincy in its half McVey,
Mertes and Sommers were given
bases on balls. not by Smith, but bv
Ed Schlitz Cline, but it awaited
nothing. for rolled up a parody.
Ill O.,
second-ditto Quincy. In the third
Joe Smith, Rock Islands new pitch
er, came to the bat. Smith is a
young fellow, and gives great prom
Use of being an excellent player. He
played yesterday as if he was
born and raised in Rock ISL
and; not for one instant during
the whole game did he lose
his head, and Doc" Sage has been
severely criticised for taking him out
OF the box in the last inning Just be-
cause Mangan made hit and Mertes
3-base hit. If ever boy deserved
to be given show, Smith does, for
during the whole game but five hits
Were made off his delivery. As has
been said, Smith came to the bat in
the third and slammed out a nice
single. He went 10 second on a
passed ball and to third on Swee-
ney's base hit. Joe Cantillon
hit to McGrevey, and, on an error by
that gent, Smith came home and
Sweeney went to third. Cantillon
stole second, and Kat made sin
gle, on which Sweeney scored. lies
hit to first. and Joe Cantillon came
home, while Katz Was icing put out a
second. kreig few out i'll center. and
Putty was doubled at first. For the
ensuing three innings Rock Island
failed to score, but not so with Quin-
cy. In the fifth it scored three on
three hits and Joe katz's error in
letting ball roll through him.
Then came game Of see-saw with
Ed Cline in the middle, and giving
Rock Island the worst of it to the
end. The ninth inning settled
things. The summary is as follows:

Spirit of Unrcst-The Situation in Gen

There is no material alteration in
the status of the strike as it affects
Rock Island, other than a manifest
disposition on the part of the Rock
Island to move freight, notice having
been sent shippers of its purpose to
receive for all points west of Blue
Island, subject to delay occasioned by
the strike. The freight handlers
were put to work this morning, and
while few trains only were started
today, the road gives assurances of
complete resumption in few days.
How far this determination will sue

Davenport Business Men Act.
At meet OF the Davenport Bust

was decided to call public meeting
OF business men at $50 this after
noon to discuss and take action upon
the present railway strike The
opinion was generally expressed that
the association should not fail at
such a critical uncture as the pres
ent to place itself on record in favor
OF the maintenance of law and order.

At Spring Valley.
Word was received at LaSalie from
Toluca last night that the citizens of
that place have armed themselves in
readiness for an invasion which is
expected from the Spring Valley
miners. who are said to intend to
loot the companv's store there. The
citizens here organized home guard
today OF $50 men to be prepared to
deal with the rioters. In conse-
quence of the continued rioting in
the Spring Valley region the COM
pany of local volunteers was further
strengthened yesterday. A strong
guard was posted, and Sheriff TAYLOR
and his entire force of deputies are
still on the scene.
Considerable ammunition and arms
were shipped west from Rock Island
arsenal last night to be used, if nee
cssary, in quoting the instruction
in California.

General Nature of Last Nights Council
Proceedings.


Proceedings.
The city clerk last evening at the
council meeting read petition from
number of Twentieth street proper
ty holders, between Ninth and Elev-
etnh avenues, praying that the grade
might be changed. The principal
signer was X. l.. Bailey, who had,
through some unfortunate mistake,
built house in that vicinity, and
who, ii the grade was not changed,
would suffer severely on that ac-
count. G. l.. Walker on behalf of
Mr.. Bailey was allowed to address
the council regarding it. Mr.. Pad
dock. our former city engineer, en-
planned how the grade could he
changed SO that it would not materi-
ally affect the city or its plans. CITY
Attorney Haas informed the petit
TONERS that if they could get ali the
property holders in that section to
sign, that an ordinance could then be
introduced and be satisfactory to all
concerned.
The stand Pipe.
Aid. Nelson moved that the
city clerk be instructed to ad-
vertise for bids for stand pipe to
hold 100000 gallons OF water, to be
erected on Elm street Aid Mauck-
er thought that there should certain
ly be some plans or specifications to
go by, and would like to know of
what material the alderman wished
it made from. Mr.. Nelson said that
he merely wished to get it before the
council,and upon Aid. Maucker's sub
stitute motion that the mayor, water
works committee and superintendent
of water works, be instructed to draw
up plans and report at some future
meeting. he withdrew his motion.

street, and one of Rock Islands oldest
and most respected citizens, attempt
ed suicide about 9 o'clock this morn
ing. About five weeks ago relatives

became cognizant of the fact that
Mr.. Doyle, through old age. was be-
coming insane. He became i'm
pressed with the idea that he was
nuisance and in the way. About
that time, it will be remembered,
The ARGUS mentioned in its columns
the attempted suicide by jumping in

name being withheld on account of
the reticence of the family regarding
the leaking out of the affair.
Growing Worse.
The unfortunate man has since
that time been growing worse stead
lily. although he has not attempted
violence. This morning after the
male portion of the family had gone
to work, Mr.. Doyle became influenced
by one of his spells. and Selling q
piece of iron struck his wife in the
head several times. He then, getting
kettle filled with pork and beans,
which was boiling on the stove,
pulled it down over his head, burn
ing himself in a frightful manner.
Next he got hammer and beat him
self about the head, and otherwise at
tempted to kill himself, but was pre-
vented from doing so by neighbors,
who had run into the house. Mr.
Doyle was taken TO the county Jail
and DR.. Plummer called to attend
him. He will in all probability be
tried as TO his sanity.

Base Ball History.
Forty-eight years ago the first
match game of base bail was played.
This pioneer game took place at Ho-
boken, n. j., and the score was so
big that the man who was keeping
tally gave it up after the first inning
and refused to look upon anything
less than five runs in succession as
worth considering.
The glorious game of base ball
grew out of the old game of round
ers. an English idea. In the fall of
1915 number of New Workers or
ganized a club which they called
The Knickerbockers." Later a club
called The New Workers" was put
into the field, and early in June,
1S46. the two began to challenge each
other. On June 10 the first game
was played.
History says that it lasted but four
innings, when the Knickerbockers
were so far ahead that the other fell
lows went home and wouldn't play
any more.
Base ball grew slowly. 1t was not
until 1860 that it became in any de-
gree popular. In that year num-
Der OF clubs were organized, and in
Philadelphia several really interest
ING games were played. Up to this
time a rubber ball was used, but so
much time was lost in going over
into the next county for it after
every hit that harder and less en-
ergetic ball was devised. This re-
duced the time of the game and in
creased the size of the bumps on the
catcher's hands.
Up to 1871 ball playing was in
dulged in as an amateur sport, but
in that year it began to take rank as
professional. Since then we have
