TOO EARLY FOR KICKING
PLAYERS Is DECIDEDLY
PREMATURE

Manager Ryan's baseball team has met
with considerable adverse criticism from
the fans and others interested IN base
ball in St. Paul. 1t has been possible to
find many who have expressed disap-
pomtmcnt in the team and but few who
have good word to say. Especially Was
this true after the Sunday game with
the Egan team. One of the few who
thinks we'll of the team found time yes
terday to say a good word for the men
and he has the situation sized up in the
right way. He said:
ST his bowling about the team that
Ryan has gathered up makes me the
least bit weary. After the game Sum
day I found any number of people who
seemed to think that the league team
had narrowly missed a defeat and that
any aggregation that Jared so badly with
Egan's misfits would run about eighth in
the league race. This is all rot First it
must be taken into consideration that the
men who played under the title Of the
Pra ria Leaguers were, in reality, a
very fast bunch of seIni-prefessionals.
Thomas was put in the box against them
and they hit him pretty hard. That is
not to be wondered at. 1t was the first
time this season that Thomas has
pitched bah and he has had but a few
days training. It is safe to presume
tnaI ne QlQ NOT exert nlTnSeH great
deal, for he or any other man would
have been foolish to run the risk of
running his arm, possibly for several
weeks for the sake of winning an ex-
hibition game. Had McGi1l, who is in
great shape and playing a beautiful
game, pitched the entire nine innings,
think it is very doubtful if the Prairie
men would have got man across the
plate. Another thing: Cassaboine, who
was substituted at third for Zeigler, is
not third baseman and his errors were
responsible for a majority of the runs
1 have seen Zeigler play the third bag
and he will do. That disposes of the
Sunday game.
Now, as to the team: I have seen all
the exhibition games and have watched
the practice en- several days and 1 will
take a chance that, at this date there
is not a team in the Western league
that stands better show Of landing the
pennant than this same ST. Paul bunch
These men are all old hands in the bust
ness and when they have had chance
to coach that fast bunch Of youngsters
that Ryan has on his string, for about
two weeks of actual play then / miss
my guess if the ST. Paul team don't
make whole lot of these Western
league team look like selling platers."

Streak of Rad Luck.
Another interesting game of the series
between Charles Glow and George Spears
was witnessed at the formers rooms last
evening. The Minneapolis man won by
a score of 200 to 1871. his high runs being
80 and 26. The game was played in TWEEN
ty-four innings, making the winners av-
erage 81.
When playing at home Glow seems to
fall into an inexDlicable streak of bad
luck. After being defeated in St. Paul
last Monday night he played with
Spears In the latter's rooms at the Ho-
tel Vendeme, Minneapolis, and ran out
when his competitor had scarcely turned
the 1G0 mark.
The series of six now stands 2 for
Spears and l for Glow. The next game
will be played in Minneapolis, and Glow s
friends are not worrying That he will
win the series there is little doubt, de-
spite the fast that Spears has been IA
vored by a lead of one game.

Harvey Parker, of Brocton, was given tho
decision over Ernest Roeber, the worlds
champion, at Graeco-Rornan. The de-
cis1on was given because Roeber refused
to continue wrestling at the end of the
first hour. claiming his understanding was
that an hour was to be the limit for the
bout If no fall was taken In short time.
The ground the referee took was that
the men should wrestle until fall was
taken. and ROBBERS claim gave the 1850

surprise, although Parker's friends from

POLICE ORGANIZING:
ABOUT THAT VACATION

Nearly ali the members of the Rock
Island police force have. within the
past few days, enrolled as mem bers
of the Illinois Polio amen and Police
Employees Benefit association, whose
object is the securing of law by the
state Legislature Bringing the ap-
Pointment of police in cities of over
10, coo inhabitants under rules SINH
lar to the United States civil service
regulations.
While the resolution passed at
Monday nights meeting OF the city
council giving mem bers of the police
force l0-dsys' vacation with pay
was ali right in it's way, it did
not go far enough. There should be
a clause somewhere for the city's
good, clause, for instance, specify
ing the size limit of members of the
force. If the police in the cities
throughout the state succeed in their
efforts to secure the passage of law
an examination tor candi-
dates for policemen, a clause will un
doubtedly be included regulating the
size. Wonder if some of the Rock
Island police ever thought of that?

In using bottles these two hints
ought to be so borne in mind that the
practice of them becomes habitual:
Always keep the label uppermost
when pouring from a bottle, so that IL
any liquid trickles down the side the
label misses 1t. Result-your labels
keep clean and legible for much longer.
Secondly, if you want to deliver
