Rock Island Wins In a Featureless CONTEXT
Scores.
The best thing that can be said of
Saturdays game is that it went to
the right side of the account. 1t was
a victory bought cheap. for Rockford
played ragged edged ball and Rock
Island did little better. There was
not large number of bad errors
rolled mp on either side, but there
was a lack of snap that made the
spectators weary.
In the third Middleton muffed hot
liner that gave the visitors a score on
subsequent plays, and in the fifth
link let a grounder 60 under him that
allowed Householder to run from first
home, Pease, who made the hit, later
scoring also. Middleton was guilty
of failing to try for first after missing
the third strike.
But there was nice work done also.
Hopkins displayed his usual avidity
for flies in center and Tate made two
fine running catches, the one that put
out Sears and ended the game being
of the kind to tickle the soberest.
Tate also distinguished himself at the
bat, making q clean hit when the
bases were full in the third, and get
ting in three runs. Thiery caught a
nice game, and Miller, although his
arm was weak, played with fairly
good effect in the box. Two hundred
people saw the game. Manager Tate
was fined SIS by Umpire Cox for
pantomime act on decision while he
was at bat aud Young was assessed
like sum for disPuting a ruling on a
foul. Score:

MEMORY OF HEROES
Honored by Special Services at
the First Methodist Church
Yesterday.
REV. O. o. MOULLooH SPEAKS
John Buford Post. and Other War
Veterans Attend in a
Body.

Memorial services for the patriotic
organizations of the city were con-
Quoted yesterday morning by Rev. c.
o. McCulloch at the First Methodist
church. There were present large
representations from John Buford
post, &. A. r., the Women's Relief
corps and Company a. L. N. e., be-
sides goodly congregation of citi-
zens The auditorium of the church
was decorated with flags and bunting
and small flags were distributed
among the audience.
Preceding the discourse there was
program of patriotic music by the
choir and the congregation with Miss
Myrtle Sears at he organ
Tribute TO Veterans.
Rev McCulloch took his text from
the 9th verse of the 18TH psalm.
1.-The righteous shall be in everlast-
ing remem brance." He began with
an allusion to the sacred character of
the services for which the congrega-
ton had Assem- bled, embodying,
as they did. all the higher con-
siderations that go to make brave
and loyal citizens After enlarging
upon the meaning of the occasion and
paying a tribute to the veterans who
had hazarded their lives for their
country in her darkest hour, he dis
tinguished between memorial services
and the observation of Decoration
day, showing the part each filled in
the heart of the right thinking citi-
zen. The observance of services for
the dead was urged as a means of
overcoming the growing passion of
men for gain. furnishing periods for
the development of the higher at
tributes of man Rev. McCulloch
closed with a reference to the uniting
effect upon the north and south of
the war with Spain.
The services ended with the singing
of The Star Spangled Banner" by
Mrs. Minnie Ransom Barker.

A few opportune hits won yester-
days game for Rock Island. 1t was a
smuggling match in which the locals
excelled. but it could not be said they
came within mile of Rockford in the
playing of any OF the other points of
the game. 1t looked like a walkaway
for the visitors after the first inning,
in which they rolled up four tallies.
This had the effect of putting the
home team under somnambulistic
spell. from which they refused TO
awaken until Manager Tate brought
his hickory with a cannon-like report
against the pigskin and sent it over
into the garden sass in left field
for three bases, tying the score. This
happened in the third inning.
In the fifth Middleton FUN bled Han
ford's present and the latter reached
first. Owens hunted and the man
at the bag ahead of him took another
while the Shamrocks were syndicating
in getting the bail in from short
center. Then Lohr. to whom the ball
always appears as big as the side of
Ia country red barn, smeared for three
bases. ShafTer and Householder drew
dead ones and the visitors quit two in
the lead.

at this juncture Elliott. Rockford s

thus terminating the round in which
Rock Island won the game, for after
that Elliott kept the locals a safe dis
lance from the rubber.
In the eighth Rockford scored two
on hit by Pease and pair of errors
by Rock Island, Middleton dropping
Shaffer's buut, and Thiery allowing
ball to pass through his pedals.
link, Middleton, Thiery and Young
played miserably. 1t was no fault OF
theirs that Rockford did not win.
Twice link was caught asleep of
bases, while Thiery moved about as
though his feet were tied to the
ground. The breaks by Middleton
and Young, however, were more ex-
cusable, for they at least displayed
ginger and good intentions. What
Rock Island lacks more than anything
else is team work. Neither is there
generalship when it is most needed.
The players should get together better
if they expect to keep away from the
bottom of the percentage row and ex-
pect patronage at home. Rockford
has snappy lot OF players. They
work hard whether winning or los
ing.
That is baseball. And that is what
Rock Island wants from her team.

A gentleman, who removed to Geor-
gia from one Of the states Of the great
west a few years ago, visited Atlanta
during the Interstate Fair, held in Octo.
Der. In speaking of worn out lands he
said that Georgia farmers were not the
only ones who by an exhaustive system
of cultivation had deprived good lands
of their fertility When people began
to settle up the western states and found
lands that gave yields Of 10 and 90
bushels of wheat to the acre, they
used the same land year after year with.
out returning anything to the soil, with
the result that the yield diminished un.
til bushels to the acre was the best
that could be obtained. Some of them
quit farming and began the raising Of
blooded cattle for the dairy and for beef,
saving the manure and applying it ia
the land in order to improve the pas.
ture grounds. 1t was soon discovered
that wherever cattle were kept the land
was being rapidly restored to its origi.
nal fertility. Now there is no such
thing as worn out lands among good
farmers in the west. Skillful fertiliza.
ton and rotation Of crops keeps the
Land productive.
This gentleman purchased place in
Georgia on which most of the land was
what is called worn out. He went to
work to- build it up according to the
methods so often recommended by this
department, viz: judicious fertilizing
with both commercial and homemade
fertilizers, studying the nature of his
soil and trying to supply 1t with the ele'
ments most necessary for It's renewal.
Among other things he purchased sew

with milk and butter not only for home
consumption, but also for sale. Ths
droppings from these COWS were care.

rotated his crops also and now considers
his farm among the best of it's size in
middle Georgia. He regards the pea.
vine hay as one of the best restorers OF
land and thinks highly also of che velvet
bean. This gentleman says that no land
that has ever been good can become 80
