Company A Due In Rock Island This
Afternoon.
Springfield, Ill, Aug. 10.-Evening
parade yesterday formally closed the
annual tour of duty of the 9th regi-
ment of the Illinois National Guard.
The command was succeeded at Camp
Lincoln early this morning BY the 4th
regiment of southern Illinois troops
and the Sth battalion OF colored
mihtiamen. Msj Elliott. with a de-
tail of 35 men from the 4th regiment,
arrived at camp yesterday. The de-
tail from the 9Th battalion has been
here several days. The men of the
4th have not taken kindly to the idea
of camping with the negroes, and it
is not improbable that trouble may
develop between the commands in
the course of the week. The officers
are advised, however, of the existing
feeling. aud precautions will be taken
to prevent any outbreak.
Camp was broken this morning and
companies A and T left for home at z
o'clock. The former is expected here
late this afternoon.

FACTS ABOUT THE LEAGUE.
Statistics From President Sex
tons Records.

tons Records.
President NJ. II. Sexton, of the
Three-I league. has compiled some
interesting figures from the records
in his office. showing the aggregate
number who have attended the games
during the season and the compare
tive popularity of the national game
in the different towns of the league.
A grand total, up to Aug. 5. of
$50, 600 persons had paid admission
to games in the towns of the league
This is an average of 1000 for each
city, or about IS, 500 in gate receipts
for each club. Davenport leads in
the attendance, with Evansville sec
ond, Tcrre Haute third and Rock
Island fourth. There is less than a
dozen admissions difference between
Rock Island and Terre Haute for the
season, and the local management
hopes this will be wiped out when the
team returns home and we will take
third place in attendance even il we
are something less in the percentage
column.
All the climbs, with the exception of
one or two, have put a comfortable
sum to the right side of the account,
and there is every reason for belieT-
ing that the Three-I league will close
the season of 1901 with the best insn-i

A CHEERFUL CONTEST
Fats" and Leans" Make it a
Tie in Hopkins Benefit
Game Yesterday.
HARDEST FOUGHT GAME OF SEASON
Both Sides All in at End of Ninth
inning and Adjourn Till
Monday.

Those who stayed away from yes
terday's game between the fats"
and the cleans" because of the
weather or from other reason have
every reason to reproach themselves.
The game. however, resulted in tie
and is to be played off Monday after
noon. Everyone will therefore still
have an opportunity to enjoy the ex-
hibition. No one who did not see it
would imagine the brilliancy of Foot"
Holdorf's grandstand catch back of
first base, "Littls Eva" Prices wonder
full twirling, Dave Noftsker's terrific
slide for second, Tom LaVelle's light
ming fielding. Capt. Abe Resen-
fields generalship on the diamond
and many other thrilling features OF
the game.
How IL Appeared.
1t looked like q walk-away for the
fats" but after the sixth inning
they couldn't wabble another run
across the plate. for Little Eva" Price,
who went into the box in the sew
enth, was too many for them. Capt.
Abe started to pitch for the '"fats, "
but his generalship was needed in the
infield in the execution of several fast
plays, and he accordingly retired to
the short field. In the fifth inning
Wey, who was holding the third
cushioa. got up against liner that
was so hot it tore the sole off his
shoe.
Fats" Have the Advantage.
Everyone worked hard and the
game was holly contested, and while
the fats" lost considerable avoirdu-
pois. still they have the cinch on the
leans" for the latter will have to
consume a great amount of provis-
ions in order to be in fighting trim
