WON BY MUSCATINE
Rock Island Indoor Baseball
Team Makes Good Show
ing, However.
SCORE OF THE GAME Is IA TO ls
Company A Defeats Naval Reserves
in Basketball Con-
test.

The indoor baseball team of the
local Y. NJ. c. A, which played at
Muscatine last evening, returned well
pleased with the showing that was
made. In the beginning of the game,
the Rock Island men were unfamiliar
with the surroundings and Muscatine
acquired considerable lead. Dur
ing the last part, however, Rock Is
land began to bat and when the nine
innings were played the score was
If to 13 in favor of Muscatine. In
view of the fact that indoor baseball
has been little played here. while it
is very popular in the watermelon
town, the local men feel that they
need not be ashamed of being beaten
by such n narrow margin.
Naval Reserves Lose.
Company \ and the Naval Re-
serves met in n basketball game at
the armory last evening and the
former was victorious by the score
of 20 to 2. The victors have begun to
aspire to the championship of the
city.

ONE OF ITEMS MEETS OBJECTION
That Recommending Removal of
Old StOrehouse at West
Point OF Island.

Among the items of interest to IL
linois in the estimates submitted to
congress yesterday by Secretary
Gage are the following:
Illinois and Mississippi canal, s75s.-
22O.
For new hospital building at Rock
Island arsenal and for moving and
reconstructing the stone arsenal
storehouse on the western end of the
island, S135,OOO
For operation. care and preserva-
ton of Rock Island bridge, $4,000.
For continuing the construction of
the Chicago postoffice, S1,0OO,OOO;
rental for temporary quarters. $780,
z5s; for completing the postoffice at
Freeport, $4,000; Postoffice at Joliet.
10000; continuing the improvement
of the Calument harbor, $419,4SO:
continuing Improvement of the ILL
nois river. S130.OOO: improving the
Chicago harbor, 100000; improving
Calumet river. 100000; improving
Waukegan harbor, $500: for the sur
vey of northern and western lakes
and correcting. extending. printing
and issuing charts and bulletins. and
view of their regulation, 100000; for
the extension. Improvement and
maintenance of the Soldiers Home at
Danville, S3,434, 294.
Would Cause Protest.
The item in reference to the re-
moval of n storehouse at the arsenal
is taken TO mean the building CON
tanning the clock and situated in the
triangle just outside the gate'leadiug
to- the military post proper. While
all are anxious to see a new hospital
building at the arsenal and heartily
approve any recommendation for inn
provements there. still there would
more than likely be considerable
objection on the part of the
people of the tri-cities if a move
were made looking to the eff
facing of the old storehouse re-
ferred to. around which center So
many historical associations that it
is now looked upon as landmark.
And il is useful. too, for the hands on
the great clock inform the pedestrian

rings out so clearly at night that ii
