DEFEATED MOLINE.
That's What Rock Island did
Yesterday.
A VERY LARGE GAME IT WAS.

Score After Score Piled Up Until 22 10
Secured = Moline's Warm Kick - The
Game In Detail-Jacksonviile Defeats
Rock Island League Team Other West
crn Association Contests.
Quite large crowd gathered at
Twin City park yesterday afternoon
to witness large game of ball be-
tween a picked nine from Rock ISL
and and one from Moline. From the
start the boys played ball as if they
knew how, and the way thew kept
the bats warm was a caution. Rock
Island went to bat first and rolled up
three dots, while Moline in its half
only secured one. In the second
Paddock hit one down to Hokenson
and that gentleman threw the ball slow
to Nelie allowing the runner to reach
first: Kersch sacrificed him to second,
and he stole third while Fred Kinney
fouled out. Kelly came to the bat
and slammed one at Hokenson. He
got it and threw it to first too late to
catch the runner and allowing Pad
dock to score. Kelly turned the
wrong way after running over first
and was called out. For Moline n
piece of chalk woHld have made a
black mark on black board. In the
third each secured a run and in the
fourth Rock Island rolled up a goose
egg, but not so with Moline. Its
representatives didn't do thing but
get seven nice healthy scores, and
those by smuggling the tar out of the
ball and '.severeal" errors by Rock
| Island.
Nearly Broke Up
Right here it would be no harm to
mention that the game nearly fell
through. Now anyone who has ever
had any experience with Moline ball
players, knows that they want every
thing their own way, and these gen.
