THE FIRST shUT-oUT.
Rock Island Failed to Get q Score In Yes
terdav's Game. .

1t is sad story to relate indeed,
and to know that Rock Island re-
ceiyed whitewash is sadder still.
1t all happened this way: Little Mr..
johnson proved puzzle. His curves
were entirely too penurious, and his
support was A number l. Old Uncle
Ebright has his boys in the finest of
form. The game opened with both
clubs rolling up cyphers. and Rock
Island did the same in its half of the
second. Not SO with Lincoln. There
is man playing second base for Lin
coin, and for this base he has formed
an affection which he is not ashamed
to show. He has an avoirdopois of
about $50 pounds. and when he hits
the ball he invariably tries to crush
it, and then when he does hit it, it is
seldom for a single. but generally
for a phase hit. Well, just such a
slam did he open up the second in
ming with yesterday, and by bunch
ing their hits the visitors were en-
abled to score two. AS has been said
before. Ebright made 2-base
hit and little fellow named
Speers. who plays backstop for
Lincoln, and has foghorn voice, was
given a base on balls. Sullivan sac
rificed and advanced each base.
About this time Lincoln's short stop,
a man bearing a funny name, Pr
quighey, waltzed up to the plate and
hammered out nice base hit, bring
ing in Ebright and Speer. johnson
came up and hit easy to Andrews,
who threw Piquighey out at second.
Mccarthy fouled out to Sage and left
johnson on first. 1t was in the third
inning that Rock Island nearly
scored. Sage had been retired on a
fly to first when '.Patrichias" Lynch
came to the rubber, and with his
eagle eye viewed four bad balls as
they went by, and in consequence
was given the first sack. Then up to
the plate came our young Chicago
medical student, Joe Andrews; he
got his lamps fixed on nice one, and
cracked out a beautiful single, which
placed Paddy" on third. On the
first pitch Andrews went down to
second, and it was awful close, but
Mr.. Haskell called him out. Little
Danny Sweeney was given base on
balls, but Joe Cantillion had bad
luck and hit down to first, and was
put out. That was the nearest We
ever came to scoring, and from that
time on nothing but nest eggs were
rolled up. In the seventh, Lincoln
scored one more, and that was all. 1t
was the finest game ever played on
the home grounds, and the only
thing that accounts for the loss of it
is inability to hit johnson. The
boys put up an errorless game. and
Andrews pitched elegantly. The score
is appended:

which popular players strengthened

Abandoning the Truck.
To fire in the business district,
the same rule win apply, and where
the hook and ladder truck is wanted,
as was the case the other day. the
firennen will be obliged to suffer the
delay of waiting until one of the out
lying companies can drive to the
Central house, unhitch and rehitch,
and come along with the truck, which
is to be entirely dismantled, as far
as men and horses are concerned, the
team that has drawn it heretofore
being sent to the No. 2 company,
and new team going up to the No.
3 company. The Argus has at
tempted to show the mistake of this
arrangement, and certainly more
pointed illustration could not be
found than that of a week ago today,
when the Weyerhauser & Denkmann
block would have been lost but foI
the prompt use of the ladders. The
new arrangement practically does
away with the truck, as far as
its usefulness is concerned, for
where it is needed it is
needed badly. The ARGUS regrets
the establishment OF a policy which
is in the line of retrogression rather
than advancement in the depart
ment. and it very much fears the city
" i'll see the error of its way, unless
the council, at its meeting tonight to
fix the appropriations, provides Il
remedy before it is too late.

was requested By the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas that the series of
home seekers excursions, inaugu.
rated some months ago by the Mis-
