Base Ball.

The Winthrop Colts and the New
Ulm Base Ball Club crossed bats at the
Driving Park Sunday afternoon, the
former winning with score of to 5.
This was the closest game ever played
On the New Tim grounds and as long as
the local boys continue to put up the
kind of ball they have been playing of
late the people will be satisfied. The
game under ordinary circumstances
would have belonged to New Ulm, but
when our boys have to beat nine players
and the umpire besides it requires better
playing that can reasonably be expected
of them. The Colts not only asked for
the best of decisions, but boldly demap.
ded it and threatened to quit the grounds
if 1t was denied them. Let the Umpire,
whoever that gentleman may have been.
only study up on Section of Rule 48
and then answer the question as to wheth-
er the game was given to the Winthrop
boys fairly or not. That rule specifically
provides thatthe batsman is only entitled
to his base in case a ball, delivered by
the pitcher,passes the catcher and touch
es the umpire or any fence or building
within ninety feet of the home base. It
cannot safely be denied thar this rule
was: openly violated.
The feauture Of the game was the
pitching of Both for the locals. He
struck out Is men and did not allow a
safe lii to be made off his delivery.

could have 'scorched' had he so de-
sired. He had on a tasteful, quiet BIZ
cycling suit, and his one leg was neatly
incased i'll half 4 pair of knickerbockers.
Across the handle bars Of the wheel lay
crutch. At Twcnty-sixth street he
alighted easily and gracefully, leaned
his wheel against the curbing. adjusted
his crutch and hobbled into a cafe.
When he came ont, the people who had
seen him dismount had gathered in a
little crowd in the interests of science
to see him mount his wheel again. II
was q very simple performance He
gave glance of mingled amusement
and triumph ut the crowd, put his foot
ON the step of his machine, grasped the
left handle bar firmly with one hand,
gave vigorous push with his crutch
and glided easily away. That's easy"
he shouted back over his shoulder to the
crowd.

night and inflicted terrible injuries
from which there is yet doubt rs to
his recovery.
The accident occurred shortly af-
ter 10 O'Clock in the yards opposite
the compauy's depot on Twentieth

with switching crew under Night
Yard master Grant Pinkley. who " s
also assisted by John Morrow. A

slowly approached the caboose to

He was taken to St. Anthony

tic ON the Subj ect.
The Peoria park plan. conducted
under the statutory provisions OF the
state. as heretofore extensively de-
scribed in THE ARGUS through .
communication from E. II. Guyer. is
received with much favor not ouly in
this city. but in Moline as we'll. and
there is general talk OF a meeting OF
representative citizens of the two
cities with view to taking the mat
er up and insuring to the twin-city
community a syst m of parks and
drives which will be a source of
pleasure and pride to the combined
population. Rock Island is now far
in advance of most other cities in the
state. If not in the country. in the
matter of lovely parks. Its pubic
squares are known throughout the
land, and no advertisement as, far as
the city's general advantages and at
fractions are concerned. has been so
far reaching and influential in its
favor as the fame OF Spencer and
Garnsey squares. Black Hawk
Watch Tower, too. in its historical
aud romantic surroundings is always
a subject of interest and intense de-
light to all our people and alike to
strangers among us.
Now the plan is to procure sufficient
land. before it is too late, for still fur
Their park purposes in both Rock ISL
and and Moline, and the laying out
of the same in pleasant drives and
beauteous features. The idea goes
still further. 1t involves the con-
meeting up of these parks with drives
such as many other cities of the
state, Peoria being conspicuous
among the rest, are favored with.
United Effort.
The spirit of the times favors a
united effort on the part OF Rock
Island and Moline. looking to the
end so much desired. The project
seems practicable, but q meeting
such as it is proposed to call in the
near feature would enable those
whose public spirit has induced
them to bring it about to explain it
more fully and to determine if the
people of the two cities are prepared
