1t was a source of regret to hear
Bill Kreig utter any remark deroga-
tory of Rock Island under any cir
cumstances at the close OF yester-
days game. Kreig has been treated
too we'll here, both as member of
the local team in the past and of an
opposing club more recently, to say
any thing against the city.
President Schmidt, of the Terre
Hante club, who, accompanied by his
wife, is making the circuit on this
trip of the club, is a baseball rooter
and fan proper.
Sage says Rock Island will round
up near the top all right. And Sage
usually knows what he is talking
about.
Decatur tomorrow.
Ladies' day tomorrow.
All the disabled players will be in
the game today except O'Brien, who
promises to be back in his place to-
morrow.
Schraeder, Rock Islands utility
man, has received an offer from Dav-
export and has asked for his release,
which will probably be given him.
The directors of the league are to
meet at the Harper house tonight to
consider proposition to extend the
season two weeks.
The practice of overrunning the
diamond aud pursuing the umpire at
| the conclusion of the game should be
discountenanced. While serious ex-
ception may have been taken to two
of the decisions yesterday there was
no occasion for any feeling. There
was nothing that developed that was
parallel to the capers of Smith and
Camp and Abbott against Rock Island,
and because any portion of the pa
irons may have become incensed be-
yond control over what has hap
Pened in the past, there is no ex-
cuse for continuing against an umpire
who comes with a good reputation.
He should be given further chance,
at least.
Commodore Charles McHugh has
promised the team an evening of rec
reation on his launch. the Mary Nc,
if the players give a good account of
themselves in this weeks series of
games.
Carriveau, Davenport's pitcher, has
gone to Webster City, Iowa. to play
on an independent team. Conlin,
who caught for Davenport early in
the season, is at the same place. Dali
rymple, who played his first game at
first for the town across the river
yesterday. returned to his home in
Clinton last night. He was to have
played in the field when Birmingham
returned TO the game. The latter
will probably be out Saturday.
