crowd of the season on hard hitting
and the efficient pitching of Polchow.
IL was the first real errorless game of
the season for Evansville, but Bloom
ington chalked up five and widened
the score. After the fourth inning
the game was never in doubt and be-
came trihe duh. Team work on the
part of Kennedy g crew kept the crowd
delighted The score:

With Pease, the new second base

Notes OF the Diamond
Rock Island should have won.
Jimmie Hoy will certainly do. That
throw from center was a dream. And
Jimmie has sore finger at that.
Arthur is finding the ball some.
Miller pitched great game. 1t is
too tad that he did not win.
Mullaney covers first in great
shape.
Rock Island put up the neater
game of the two.
Umpire +. B. Voris has been sus-
pended by President Sexton pending
investigation of charges preferred by
the Evansville management. Leo
Mosmer, of Des Moines, has been APP.
pointed in his place.
The receipts were as follows yester-
day: At Davenport, S60S IS; Evans
vile, $3.50 20; Rockford. 1861 %; De-
catur, 1925 90. AS all holiday re-
ceipts are pooled, each town will get
$204.7S.
link twice had opportunity yester-
day to redeem his error with the bat.
but he fell down. His indifferent and
amateurish work all through the game
was wearisome.
Jap Poor heads Evansville's batting
list. He got run and a hit and his
usual stolen base yesterday. Jap is
one of the cleanest players in the
league. Had he been able to hit the
b Al a little more frequently Rock
Island would never have thought
parting company with him.
Poor played his first game with
Evansville, which by the way is COM
ing up the line at an alarming gait.
See what the Hoosiers did to Bloom
Ii gton yesterday.
Philadelphia has released two pitch
ers and an Outtielder. Another chance
for some good tim Der. Doc.
Miller pitched beautiful game and
deserved to win
If Miller would just discard that
green jockey cap. 1t is not at all
becoming.
Arthur was a cracker jack with the
stick. And he caught a fine game,
too.
The practice work of the Rock Is
Land too m, nroffu m HI hilton
as one would care TO see. 1t even
took the breath away from the Daven-
port fans.
Mullaney will do.
The miserable work of link was
ample vindication of Ssge's judgment
in supplantiDg him.
link lost the game at critical
point-and then Camp cinched Dav-
euport's chances at the critical point
that offered the best chance for Rock
Island to win
MUllaney plays the game all the
time.
Camp was punk in his decisions on
both sides-but Rock Island got by
all odds the worst of it at his hands.
The game at Twelfth street park
yesterday morning between teams
picked from employees of the Rock Is
land Lumb or company and Sash &
Door works was won by the latter, Is
to 8. Seven innings were played.
II is little too soon TO Judge OF
Owens work aud worth. But Null
laney saved him number of bad
errors.
Mullaney is just about what we
have been looking for.
1t would have been better for Rock
leland had link not been in the game
at all. Had he been on first it would
have been worse than it was.
Mullaney is good man to build on
When Rothermel gets back in the
game and the other new men arrive
we will feel better.
