Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-07-23
TERRE HAuTE THREE DAYS.
Indiana Aggregation of Hard HItters ir
Rock Island.

| The teams OF the Three league
switched again today, Terre Hautt
coming TO Rock Island, Decatur &c
Davenport, Bloomington to Cedar
Rapids and Evansville to Rockford.
Bill Kreig is reputed to have the
hardest hitting team in the league
and, if the work of the past two days
by the Rock Island club can be taken
as criterion of it's future, there is
sure tc be lively doings on the
Twelfth street diamond for three
afternoons.
Bobby Rothermel hopes to be able
to get back into the game before the
week is out. He wanted to play to-
morrow. but his physician advised
against it, not considering him strong
enough yet.
The Davenport management in
tends to have a good ball team. Will
kinson was let go this morning, be-
cause Shannon's good work in Sum
days game showed he was worth
keeping, and the club could not use
three catchers. There will be some
other changes if the team does not
settle down and play ball like it used
to, but it is hoped that after Birming-
ham gets back into the game things
will be different. With Mike on first
the team will present its proper front,
and his influence toward steadying
the team counts for a great deal. He
is not yet in shape to play, but may
be the latter part of the weekday
export Democrat.
Terre Haute is not an easy propo-
sition, in the ordinary sense of the
word. either.
Hereafter on Sundays and holidays
children will be obliged to pay 10
cents a head for admissi sion to the
grand stand. The rule does not apply
on other days.
Schrader, who played short for
Rock Island during Middleton's ill
ness, has returned to Muscatine,
where he has been connected with an
independent team.
Sommers & La Velle have offered
prizes that ought to add to the en-
thusiasm with which the Rock Island
players will follow their work on the
diamond from now On each mem Der
of the team to receive a necktie if two
of the three games are won from
Terre Haute, and in ease the team
finishes the season in either first or
second place each PLAYER is to be given
q So Stetson hat.
A number of patrons of the game
have criticised the oversight on the
part of the management in leaving
the advertising signs on the streets
and on the street cars ssbasebAl to-
day" up yesterday on me score that
they were misleading and occasion, 4
some fruitless trips out in the din
ton of the ball park. Where people
are so eager to see tie team more |
care should be used in the announce
ments. as there doubtless will be |
hereafter.
