the players. We won both games

while yesterday it was Z to 4. The
attendance far exceeded anticipa-
tions, showing the unusual interest
in the national game this season.
There were about 1,2e0 people in
attendance yesterday, and had
the atmospheric conditions been
little more favorable it is believed it
would have been necessary to hang
out the standing room only sign.
The game was pretty one. The
home players were In good form, and
did not give many opportunities for
the croaker to kick. Young and Sandy
Mccullough, she latter Gilchrlst
boy. who is here for trial. were in tho
points fox the home team. Young
has whole lot Of speed. and his
curves are wide and wavy. They
are puzzlers, and it was quite awhile
before the visitors found the boy.
Mccullough did we'll, considering
that he had had no practice this sea-
son, having put in the winter dig
cling coal at Gilchriss.
Both sides were goose.egged until
the fourth inning, when Lynch
scored for Rock Island, being
pushed across the rubber by Warn
er's 2-bsgger in center. In the fifth
Strauss knocked nice fly out in the
left garden, after two men were out.
He stole second, Dillon bounced the
willow against the sphere for two
sacks. and Strauss and Wright sang
Home Sweet Home" together.
Flsherty hit safe In short, scored
Dillon, and was caught on second.

THE GROUNDS FOB THE PETITION

Two Points Made Looking to the Estab
iishmens Of the illegally of the Election
Of Messrs. q. A. Johnson aud r. A.
Andrews - shown on the Face Of the
Returns.
The republicans, even on the face
OF the returns. did not get much out
OF the late city and township cleo.
tion, but what little they did seem
to get is likely to be taken from
them. 1t will be wildly recall.d
that when the smoke Of the fray Of
two weeks ago tomorrow cleared
away oil that the repu blicsns had
left from the unplessantness was the
disputed claim that two aldermen
had been elected by the narrow ma
,rity OF one each and by pre-.
cisely one vote. These were Aid
"Boney" johnson in the Second aud
Frank a Andrews in the Third. The
election in each instance WAS sur
rounded by go many rumors CT il.
legal procedure that contest was
not only invited, but demanded in
each case, and notice to this effect
was flied at the last meeting OF the
city council. Today, however, Hon.
William McEniry, on behalf of Vii.
liam Eckermann, democratic candi.
date in the Second ward, and Aid.
b. Winter. democratic nominee
in the Third ward, filed formal no.
tice OF contest.
Grounds fer the Contest.
Two points are raised as settir @
forth the ground for the contest.
They are these:
First. that in each ward ballots
which were legally cast for Messrs
Eckermann and Winter Ia their re-
spective wards were counted for their
opponents.
Secondly, that ballots we're legally
cast for them and we're not counted
at all by the judges Of election.
