Had Hunky Hines Sock City slug
gers continued the pace they in.
augurated in the third inning at the
baseball park yesterday afternoon,
possibly it was a lucky stroke for
Rock Island that the elements inter
fered. The score stood 3 to l in
favor of the visitors when Umpire
Bob Carothers announced a termina-
ton of the contest in the closing half
of the fourth. 1t had been sprinkling
for fully ten minutes before the game
was called, Hines insisting that the
play 90 on as long as conditions would
permit. as his aggregation was in the
lead and had 4 fair chance of remain
ing so through five innings-the limi-
tation fixed by the association rules in
which game may be decided. But
Hines hopes were shattered. The
weather was against him, and he saw
an imaginary victory vanish.
Rockford's twirling was done by
Underwood, the crack pitcher of that
team. Jack Hart was in the box for
Rock Island. Each put up a splendid
front until the third, when Sage's
lad was bounced upon by the visit
ors for four safeties. Barney Snyder
was the first man up. He lifted one
over to Rothermel, but Bobby's mitts
were slippery. He dropped the pig
skin aud the runner landed safely at
Botenusville. Barber cut the grass
in center, and made first, but the
stretch to the next bag was too much
for Snyder, and he died while march
ing toward second. Tony Esterquist
placed liner to short, got base and
caused the annihiiation of Barber at
second. Hines safed. Beulow made
Il hot drive into the middle grass
patch, scoring Esterquist and Hines.
Gutenberg sent a sky-scraper into right
and brought Beulow home. Luton
berg then attempted larceny and was
pinched. y
Rock Island rallied in the fourth.
Botenus sent n whizzer past Under
woods listener, but killed good job
when he got nipped trying to reach
the second sack. Bay waited and walk
ed, and took advantage of the first OPP
portunity to swjpe another base.
Clossen flew out to Barber. Bay came
home on a poke to center by O'Rourke,
scoring the first and only run for the
home team. Callahan sent a high
one into right, but it was taken in
by Barber, who made a pretty running
catch. Here is the story:

Erstwhile Tri-City Newspaper Man Writes

In a column of newspaper reminis-
cences the current issue OF the Jour-

ence to familiar tri-city newspaper
man: '.Helen Gould is paying the

Der of crank and begging letters daily.
One of the former, which she must
have received the other day, was
mailed from Middletown, n. Y. A
disrepatable' looking tramp printer
struck that town one day last week,
and called at the several newspaper
offices. Failing to get work he bor-
rowed pen and ink in onecof The OIL
ces, and whiled away his time by
writing letter, which he afterward
mailed to Miss Gould. The fellow
used excellent English, and in inspir-
ing sentences he paid the lady of the
recent war many compliments, from
one,' he wrote, who knows the value
of a generous heart in times like
these He also informed her that
he had written a book entitled a
Soldiers Romance and that he had
left handsomely bound copy at No.
- Fifth avenue, which Miss Gould
could have by calling at that address.
1t was given as token of the esteem
in which the writer held her. The
printer signed his name G. L. Park
hurst. He showed the letter, and
begged 4 stamp with which to mail it. -"

Stock Raising on the Peninsula.

A Newport News paper says
an agent OF the abbattoir plant
Of that city is gong about the
state Of Virginia 10 ascertain
how much stock will be availa-
bic for that industry. The same
paper states that that plant will
make an excellent market for
ali the beef cattle, lambs, hogs,
etc, raised IN the state.
What a glorious opportunity
for the farmers and stock rails
ers Of the Peninsula, We are
ia position TO drive our cattle
right 10 the abbattoir. The
hundreds of acres Of fine land
sdapted to stock raising can
now be utilized. Primers com
ing here from the West can
now buy q stock farm with the
assurance OF a ready market for
all the stock they raise. There
are many fine stock farms along
the james and York rivers wait
log for the men with a little
capital TO put them in shape.
Stock can be raised cheaper here
than anywhere else, and with
no freight to pay. 1t seems TO Us
the farmer could make a little
mint out Of the business.
We hope those who are COM
ing here TO locate will look cut
for stock farms. Ne believe
this business will pay from the
start.
