lenge to any other team Of business
men in the city, the game to take
place next Monday or later at the

very interesting go can be arraigned.

lief fund.

Caught on the Fly.
And Graham made another home
run.
The game between the ''fats" and
''leans" for Fielder Hopkins benefit
is on schedule ct the Rock Island
p ark this afternoon.
Both games were lost by seven
runs.
Come boys, ginger up. We can
stand anything but listlessnsss.
AS long as Rock Island is willing to
do anything to keep good team in
the field the players ought to at least
exert themselves to do sheir part.
The tabulated scores of yesterdays
games shows that if the team had
played half as hard behind Milton
and Hughes at Bloomington yester-
day as il did behind Graham when he
was up in the air at Decatur the
preceding day both games would have
been won.
There is only one inference to be
drawn from the loss of yesterdays
games.
Second Baseman Tom Herman, re-
leased by Decatur, has been signed
by Bloomington.
The home run hits by Tate and
Graham were the longest ever seen
on the grounds, exceeding that
famous whack that Elsey gave the
ball on his last appearance here.
There was difference of opinion as
to which of the two hits was the long
est. That by Tate went out to left
and struck inside the fence and then
rolled away, while that of Graham
went over the fence on the fly.
Either one was good for about five
Herald.
Terre Haute still claims first place
in the percentage column. They are
taking their standing from figures
furnished them several days ago by
President Sexton, who has since
found. after thoroughly investigating
the records of the teams, that he had
made q mistake. The standings as
published in The ARGUS are correct.
This is the way.they lay for unpop-
ular players in visiting teams up in
Rockford: 1.-The local cranks should
keep Elsey in mind. He will be here
Aug. 10 and 20. This league wants
no ball players of Elsey's ilk. Elsey's
iirty tricks should not have been
passed up oy umpire camp. Inc
Bloomington first baseman is an old
hand at that style Of the game"
Teams from the Rock Island Buggy
and the George White Buggy
are matched for game of
ball to be played tomorrow afternoon
In the other Leagues.
