1t is generally conceded that yester-

of any played on the local ground s
this year. 1t was nip and tuck from
start to finish and the victory be-
longed to any body till link. with two

that a regiment couldn't have pre-

Kranz pitched and he made a good
Job of it. Five of the visitors jabbed
at the wind and only two walked.
Rock Island hit hard. Hoy getting in
a home run aud a 3-bagger. and to
this the victory is due. There were
errors on both sides. the home team
here again getting the big end of it.
Some of them in the early part were
quite expensive, too. Abbott's um-
Piring was one of the features, boIh
sides getting the worst of it in a num-
Der of instances. A peculiar circum-
stance attendant upon the bad decis-
ions against Rock Island was the
manner in which, in several instances.
the visitors Immediately lost all the
advantage the umpire had given
them.
To Hoy's hard batting may be cred
tied the Shamrocks' first four runs.
IL was in the third that. sfter Smith
had Il own and Kranz had perished on
n grounder, Poor lived on a bad throw
from third and Hoy followed with a
S-bagger, scoring him and seeing
home himself on Tate's hit. Tate died

Hoy's Timely Hit.

Again in tho fifth Smith aud Krauz
died on grounders that were eaten of
the bare ground and Poor saved the
day with hit. Hoy came up and
picked out little out curve Just TO
his liking. He whiTled around once
and a half and then sent that ball of
yarn on the longest spin Of it's exist
ence. 1t went out over the short
stops head into left just as far as it
could get without being over and
then came down so hard It never
bounced. BY the time Burt had
picked il out of the hole il made in
the ground two more scores were
added to the right side. Tate went
out on a ny. In the eighth wht n
the visitors were one ahead Jimmy
Hughes covered himself with glory
in this way: Hughes was first up
and he fell on one that went out
along the right foul line at n terrific
rate. He went around the bases to
third while the ball was being recov-
cred and Abbott was making up his
mind to call it q foul. So Hughes
went back with two strikes against
him. The next one Dorner served up
was good enough and Jimmy made
drive to left that put him where he
stopped on the foul. 1t all came to
naught. however. for he was caught
OFF when Milton bunted a little one,
and being somewhat winded. he was
run down between bases. Middleton
made a good hit and Milton, who had
taken second, scored. Smith flew out

But the ninth was the best of all
With the score tied at the end of the
eighth and Decatur's failure tc score
in the ninth, Tate's men were badly
in need of a run. Poor. who was first
up. dropped little grounder down to
short and beat it TO first. Then he
stole while Hoy was being counted

staunch left-hander sailed forth, and,
after batting a ground foul, lined out
the hottest one of the game just over

Poor drilled home and the game was
won.

BACKBONE,

being "a fruitless field in which to SOW
prohibition seed" It is she that has
thus far furnished to this movement
the men and women and money and
moral enthusiasm which have brought
it to the verge of victory. Many Of her
doors are closed to presentation Of
the more aggressive phases of the re-
form. Many of her pastors are blind
and many who can see are dumb. Many
Of her members are on the fence, and
many on the wrong side Of the fence,
in this splendid conflict. But nearly all
of our help comes from her. She is
our present strength and our future
hope. The reform is a legitimate de-
partment of her work. Its friends have
a right to expect her aid. And she is
moving-slowly perhaps-but steadily
moving in the right direction.
We love the church and would hate
to see her wrecked upon this rock.
Yet we are more anxious for the over
throw of wrong than for the perpetual
ton of her life. If she is untrue to
her mission God has no use for her
and the world has no need of her.
But she will not remain untrue. So
hopeful are we upon this point that
purely as matter of expediency, if for
no other reason, we believe that the
proper place for the foes of the saloon
is in the church. We believe the
church will carry this reform to vic
tory. Those who favor temporizing
policy toward the saloon and it's politi-
cal defenders must go out of the
church, if anybody. When the outlook
is different we shall do and counsel
otherwise.

BRIEF AND BRAINY.

I can walk with God to defeat I'M
til the crack of doom, but will not
walk with the saloon to victory for
single hour for the sake of any other
issue now before the American peo-
ple.-C. N. Howard.
At any time when all the Christian
professors shall unite to give forth
the edict thou shalt not" the nefar-
ious drunkard factories must cease
their murderous work.-Virginia con-
ference of the M. E. Church South.
I want to feel growth in me until
I have arrived at the position of a
Prohibitionist who knows no issue
more important, no cause more bind
ing, than earnest, unceasing labor
for Prohibition T. Wardwell.
The labor unions and the church
ought to unite for the destruction of
the un-American liquor saloon. The
saloon is the spider and his web in
American life, and the overwhelming
majority of the human flies caught in
that web are neutrality-suspicious.
