Notes of the Diamond.
McGrew, released by Decatur, has
been taken into camp by Terre Haute.
He is playing short.
Jap Poor has not been playing in
left field for Evansville for two days.
Evansville comes Friday.
There was good week day crowd
at the game yesterday.
The ladies are aiming as they never
famed before.
The ladies are free again Friday.
Davenport, by winning yesterday
passed Rockford in the percentage
column.
Bruce, released by Decatur, pitched
his first game for Davenport yester-
day and won.
Arthur's home run drive was the
longest of the season on the loca
grounds.
Milton pitched oil around Nc
Greevy, and deserved to win his
game.
Milton fairly won his own game,
not only in the box, but at the pat.
Don't knock. 1t is the worst thing
a ball town can do.
The man who yells "put him out"
with reference to any mem Der of the
home team during the progress of the
game ought justly to be put out him
self. Such an act does more to dis |
concert the home players and encour-
age the visitors than all the poor play |
that could be made
No particular member of the home |
team was responsible for the loss of
yesterdays game, silly reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. AS q |
ter of fact every player on the
nfield had a hand in the error col
ANN, and those who made the least
nisplays made the most costly. The
man who is charged with the greatest
number redeemed himself for two of
inexcusable at that-in
he inning in which they were made
1y retiring the side without runs for
ne visitors. 1t is not fair to permit
prejudice to operate against
my player at every stage of the game.
The ARGUS has no favorites on the
hub, and it has no grudge against
my of them. Neither Is IL any mat
or of the least concern to it who is
,ept or who is let 60. It has been
REQ to criticise or commend the
,layers alike as the case may have
and will continue to pur-
ne such q policy, but ii deprecates
he appearance anywhere of q disPo-
ition to persecute.
Arthur covered himself with glory.
Pitcher Carriveau has written TO '
iauager Hayes. of Davenport. eN, I
ressing the wish to come back. Ii.
sitter hasn't even been answered. In
ependent ball, he finds, is no snap. 1
itchers having to play in the field I
hen they are not in the box, 10 men
sually being the full complement for
ne team.
