Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-08-21

Everything was radiant at the
Twelfth street park yesterday after
noon. 1t was ladies' day and a large
delegation of school teachers that
were supposed to have been listening
to Prof. Davis at the county institute
went to the ball game and were much
amused at the funny antics of the
players. The white socks were iov-
ial because the game was going right
and finally the visitors got into the
spirit of the thing and repeatedly
missed their chances with self-sacri-
ficing cheerfulness. Good plays on
both sides received abundant appro-
baton, while poor ones were treated
rs huge jokes.
In the first place Milton won the
game in the box, striking out 10 men
and ms king the ball hard to find for
the nine hits that were gathered. In
addition to this. the team won the
game in the field, making only two
errors. Lastly the visitors gave the
game away. freely, blandly. The fea-
lures OF the game were the running
and Fremer, for which both received
ovations.
