hopfield yesterday afternoon by
Charley Apples nine. The score
was 16 to 81. It was q holly ocn-
tested game and was Witnessed by
about 800 people. Zeis aud South
were the battery for the victors and
Stengel and Griffith for the n. & K's.
The Young Centrals defeated the
West Ends again Saturday afternoon
by . score of IS to II. The battery
for the Centrals was Wilson and
Corken, for the losers Sinnet, John
son and Colligan. This is the Cen
trails tenth successive victory, not
having been Waterlooed since they
organized.
The attaches Of the Rock Island &
Peoria railway Office have been talk
ing base ball ever since the warm
weather was ushered in. So Satur-
day afternoon they gathered on the
green in the pasture south of No. 6
school building. Sides we're chosen
and they went at it. 1t was dark
before the game was ended. It was
close throughout. The score stood
IS to 10 when the boys decided that
they had better call time before the
Curfaw was rung on them. There
were fractured suspsnders. lost but
tons. torn trousers, tanned Yaces,
calloussd hands and disjointed flo

When it was announced re-
Gently that the Tantic, OF
Samoan hurricane fame, was to be
retired, it occurred to me that il
would make an excellent training
ship for our naval militia. As soon
as ! was appointed commander,
wrote Senator Callom of my idea.
Today was the first chance ! had to
take up the matter with Senator Ma.
son. He is enthusiastically in favor
of having one Of the retired naval
vessels brought here for the state
militia. 1t is too late for US to get
the Yantic. The Michigan. naval
militia will get it; but Senator Ma
son is sanguine that We can get one
of tho other vessels named, which
are larger and better than the YAM
tic. 1t will be necessary to tighten
the vessel to get it through the lake
canal. but it can be done. Senator
Mason says that as soon as ne re-
turns to Washington he will unite
with Senator Cullom in urging the
authorities to award us q ship"

Old Time and Modern Fire Systems,


Iowa City is experiencing some of
the follies OF the old volunteer fire
department system. The burning of
the library of the Iowa State univer-
sity came just on the heels Of the
Iowa state firemen's tournament
there. The tiremen wexe tired out
with their efforts to entertain their
visiting brethren. and they did not
get the alarm of fire until 81 min
utes after the building was ignited
by the lightning stroke, 80 the flames
we're far beyond their control before
they could reach fhe scene. But
though it was not their fault, in all
fairness, there has been O great deal
Of harsh criticism of their work at
the fire, and no smaM amount Of it
on account OF the fact that they held
that tournament at all. Yhe result
Of the roasting they have been get.
ting ia that the fire companies Of
Iowa City are to hold a meeting and
resign in body. They have held
one meeting at whiA taae expressed
their outraged feee1ngs and have
postponed final action until July.
The paid department is the only re-
liable, business-like sS5em Of fire
protection. Rock Island has found
that out-so has Moline. and other
cities which have abaliahed the vol
unteer, whose valiant aud patriotic
services were receghed and appre-
ciated in his day, bug of whom too
much altogether was expected.

ErstWhue CITY Attorney Now Of Rockford
Comes to Town.
Ii. II. Corbett, who years ago was
city attorney of Roca Island. but
who has recently been elected to the
same Office in the city Of Rockford.
where he has resided for number Of
years. came to Rock kslpnd Saturday
night on legal business which viii
occupy few days time. An ARGUS
representative ran across Mr.. Cor
bett. who was strolliag aleng Second
avenue Saturday night looking at
the sights. II declare" he
said. Il hardly know this
place. 1t is eight years since l was
here, and that time has wrought
more changes here than / imagined
were possible. Tbene was not foot
Of paving when left. sidewalks were
uneven. and there were no electric
cars. Now all these things have
changed. Here you have. as far as
l can see, nothing but improved
streets, and solid sidewalks, and a
street car system that is equal to
anything l have evee seen. Why,
Rock Island has put on metropolitan
style in manner that beats any
thing 1 ever saw. It seems almost
incredible that SO much could have
been done in so few years, compare
lively" Mr.. CoYbett was also
pleased with the couEt house and
postoffice buildings, Of our more
recent improvements.
Mr.. Corbett stated that he had
worked hard since going to Rock
ford. and that he had gradually
forged his way to the front until
now he was prospecting. That he
has gained the confidence of the
community there is manifest In his
election as city attorney.
