Notes OF the Diamond.
Middleton's error. the only one
made. was excusable. Moriarity, who
was anxious to cover all the ground
pOoolUiCt Ldu oAOkb duu
this interfered with Middleton. Mo-
Rarity is a hard and willing worker.
Whenever Hughes seemed to be
losing control. Manager Mullaney
would call to Haynes to warm up and
Hughes Immediately took a brace.
That's the proper way. Null.
An illustration of the disastrous eff
feet home knocking" has On q
ball player is shown in the case of
King, of Davenport, who made five
errors in Thursdays game in Rock
ford. Once the idol of the Daven-
port fans, he has gone to pieces and
become indifferent because of the per-
sistent hammering of little coterie
that formed a PREJUDICE against him,
and yet he is one of the best infielders
in the league. Rock Island has had
similar experiences.
Rebsamen's generalship behind the
bat was an important element in yes
terdsy's victory.
The Mcfarland boys are daisies for
.'a'that."
Mullaney has the boys playing ball
as they have never played before this
season. He seems to have the faculty
of injecting ginger into them and in
spring them with confidence at the
same time They like to work for
him.
Hughes was in his old time form
yesterday. only once allowing himself
to weaken. He soon recovered, how
ever, and put up an article that kept
the visitors chopping air.
Large crowds will go. from here to
root for the Rock Island team at Dav-
export tomorrow and Monday.
During the past four years the
Nebraska Indian baseball team has
played in all the large cities of the
country. This famous organization
of savages has appeared in Lincoln,
Dubuque, Chicago, Canton. Akron,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Troy and many other cities of SINH
lar Importance. Besides these cities
the Indians have PLAYED in over 400
other places in the Uoited States and
Canada. They will play the Moline
team at Moline park Friday, Sept. ID.
President Sexton has discharged
Umpires AL Mauck and Lou Camp and
reinstated Robert Cox and appointed
Ed Cline. Now if he will decapitate
Voris he will have good umpiring
staff.
Bobby kothermel has gone to Chi
cago. but Jack O'Brien is still in the
city. Yesterday he visited the game
and showed a good disposition by
roofing for the home team, and hard
er for Moriarity, his successor, than
for the others.
Davenport's rowdy captain. Smith.
was ordered from the game and from
the park at Rockford yesterday.
Smiths tactics operated against his
team, as Wenig, his substitute.
lost the game by dropping fly that
Smith would undoubtedly have held.
