Notes of the Diamond.
After two men had hunted flies for
outs, Manager Sage gave orders to
"hit and rum" which was obeyed
with good effect.
Every body was glad to see Umpire
Mesmer back again.
Nothing went till two men were
out.
Rebsamen played one of the hard
est games of his life, his work in
right field being brilliant and his bat
ting, as usual, timely.
The old time gingery spirit pre-
vailed on Rock Islands side through
out the nine innings. The crowd was
of good size and enthusiastic, cheer
ing every play that deserved it. and
overlooking the mistakes on the
diamond that it has been the DISPOSE
ton heretofore to criticise. Mullaney
was largely responsible for the jollisy
as well as the capital playing of the
home team. He had the boys feeling
good from the start and the crowd
was with him.
When the Bloomingtons are not
chewing" with the crowd they are
bull ragging each other. 1t is a
wonder they win as many games as
they do in view of the temper dis
played by some of the men.-Rock-
ford Star.
Evansville and Terre Haute havS
decided on series of exhibition |
games after the schedule season |
closes. Rock Island and Davenport |
should do likewise. The rivalry be-
tween the two towns would insure |
profitable attendance.
Towns that have been falling off in
with the idea that they
were spiting losing teams are bsgin-
ming to wake up to realization of
the fact that they are spiting them
selves. The placing of next years
franchises will be based largely upon
the average attendance this year.
The changing of Umpires Mauck
aud Mesmer by President Sexton
proved a popular one here.
Elmer Haynes, a pitcher from
ILL.,, who has been doing
good work with crack amateur teams,
s to be given trial by Manager Sage.
Walt Davis, of Davenport, is cover
ng third today, as an experiment
