BEAT THEM BADLY.
That's What the Youngsters Did to the
Galesburgs YesterdAy..

The brown-eovered gentlemen
from Galesburg were forced to swal-
low the largest and bitterest pill
which they are likely to run up
against this season in yesterdays
contest. They were defeated in a
pretty and interesting game, at
tended by an abundance of good hit
ting and an occasional application of
ginger, the absence of which hereto
fore has caused an air of solemn and
funeral-like and disinterested ex-
preston to pervade the counte-
nance of even the small boy, who,
like all lovers OF the diamond sport,
must have gingery movements
and jolly executors in order to
keep the fanology arguments in
action. People were shivering like a
hairless dog in Iceland; proboscis'
looked like headlights; straw-covered
craniums blushed and their hirsute
adornments took upshots, and
overcoats were comfortable company
yesterday at the ball park. but the
audience wouldn't have moved if it
had snowed-the youngsters were
full of ginger, and so we're the specta-
tors. Baxendale pitched for the flag
men, and did fairly well until the
fifth. A perusal OF the detailed re-
suit will suffice. The diminutive
individual was hammered all over
the green and out of the pasture;
pigskin bullets alighted about his
pedals and enveloped him in dust. 1t
was brief campaign of cannOnading,
everyb body took a fall out of the
youth and when the smoke had clear
ed, eight youngsters had made the cir
cult, and the flagmen cast disgusting
chances on their sawed-off engineer.
1t was not altogether hitting,
as the Galesburgs made sew
eral costly errors. In the followi ing
four innings Sage's players secured
eight more runs. Man after man
went to base on balls; Baxendale was
slack as rubber, and too tired to be
excited. He was defeated and took
his medicine hard. 1t was one of
those old-time feasts which former
clubs used to have on the little
freak. Jameson showed up well,
but was trifle wild. His support
was excellent, when contrasted with
preceding contests. The score by
innings:

Lost Saturdays.
Saturdays game was won by
Galesburg, the locals playing very
ragged. Their fielding was loose,
and apparently they couldn't catch
the ball had basket been furnished.

Samuels did some pretty wing
work yesterday. his throw from deep
left to third being dandy.
Gilmore knocked the sphere al
most out of sight yesterday,
putting it away over the left field
fence.
Samuels played in left garden yes
terday, Con Whalen holding down
third and Tommy Dwyer short. tenn

Lyons, the released second base
man. has been appointed umpire.
and thus far has given excellent
satisfaction. He is a good Judge of
fairness and enforces discipline.
The. Trilbys and Davenport Jun.
iors play d game Saturday, the
former being victorious by score of
16 to Is. The batteries were: Tril-
bys. Corken and Montgomery; Jun
iors, Eldridge and Rooster.
First Baseman Pecord exercised
his vocabulary unbecomingly toward
Umpire Lyons yesterday, and was
put out of the game in the sixth.
ollie don't say much, but when he
does open up, it comes rather Sc

A game between the Centrals and
West Ends at the hopfields yesterday
afternoon resulted in the defect of
the former by a score of 8 to Z. The
batteries were: Centrals. Rosenfield,
Stengel and Lamp; West Ends,
Meanor and Babbitt.
Mr.. Baxendale furnishes an exam
pie of the fact that Rock Island ball
players have no use for a deserter.
The teams representing this city
have batted him out of every club to
which he has beeh attached since he
left Manager Sage. who made him
three years ago.
The Moline High school club was
defeated by the Rock Island High
school nine Saturday by a score of l /
