CLUBBEO THE CLlNTONS.
The Youngsters Win IN Easy Victory on
the Green Mt OHerman's.
ALI was serene in the vicinity of
the ball park yesterday. and the
neighbors were deprived of an OPP
portunity to witness game from
their housetops and porches, where
they invariably bask in the sun aud
keep tab on the diamond contests
of the afternoon. Sage's play
ers and Corbett's Clinton aggrega-
ton selected Ofierman's island on
which to decide their battle. which
terminated in the almost total exter-
mination of the Apaches from Clin-
ton, being at ratio of 25 to Z. The
youngsters fought an excellent bat
tie, full of ginger and birthstone,
Goodhart's crooked work giving the
shakes to the Apaches and waltzing
around their willows with paralyz-
ing effect-only q few getting
against the swine-hide. But then
accidents are bound to occur. On
the other hand Sage's payers took
a punch at the sphere at their pleas
ure, putting every copper-skin on
the opposing team who could do the
grand out OF the business. Myers
was the first victim. Then the chief
of the tribe. Corbett.the superfluous-
locked individual who does so much
talking with his ears, faced the
youngsters. 1t didn't take long to
convince him that he wasn't very well
posted on the art of twirling. and he
vanished. Dalrymple. the erst-
while local center fielder, was the
next gentleman to do the wingy-wing.
Like his predecessors, he emerged
from the box with a different i'm
preston of the art of pitching. 1t
was picnic for the locals, sew
eral of whom did the flip-flap on the
home tray in each inning. 1t was a
continual campaign Of canonading
from start to finish, losing the ball
at their pleasure. The Clintcns
played like blind men. coming within
block of a flying ball, and when
they did happen to have it fall in
enough to leave the batter make the
circuit, get a drink of water and
have a talk with his neighbours. They
couldn't stop ball with bird cage.
Sage's players put up creditable
game, but Clinton-well, enough
snuff. Peruse the result of the

High school series at Twin-City par i
between Davenport and Rock Island
resulted in a victory for the latter b,
score of p to 6. The Rock Islant
boys won the pennant. capturing
every contest of the series. Satur
days game was played merely for thu
satisfaction of Davenport's getting /:
chance for it's white alley in having
the pleasure of beating Rock ISLAND
but its purpose was of no avail
the preceding contest having de
cided the championship. After thu
game the High school boys went t.
Davenport and carried home the flag
