 Hail Storm Ends the Game.
 The storm that came up over at the ball park this afternoon was terrifying one, about fifteen panels of the fence be- ing blown down and the crowd huddled into the grandstand until the wind and hail became omnibus, when part left and took drenching rather than risk danger thought to be lurking in staying under shelter.
 The high wind blew rain and hail in the grandstand and women and children began to cry and shake with terror.
 Men doffed their coats and wrapped them around the women folk, one of whom tainted.
 For about twenty minutes the storm lasted. then Old Sol peeped out as if smiling in derision at the frightened hun dreds who, wet and bedraggled. waded homeward.

MULLANEY MANAGER
Position as Head of Ball Team is
ReIinquished BY Harry
sage.
THIRD CHANGE THIS SEASON
President Munger Challenges
Davenport to Series of
Games.

Harry Sage last night relinquished
the management of the Rock Island
base ball team and DominicS Mullaney,
first baseman and captain, was elected
to the position. Sage asked two
weeks ago to be relieved, not alone
because of the losing gait the team
had struck, but partly owing to the
fact that it seemed bad luck followed
his every plan, no matter how well
laid it might be. He had just begun
TO understand the players and they
him, and all regret to see him leave.
This is the third change in the man
agement of the Rock Island team this
season, Harry Tate having been sue
ceeded by Sage two months ago.
Il will expect the boys to give the
public the best they have while on
the ball field" said Manager Null
laney. "Of course there are only a
few more games until the end of the
schedule. and we are pretty close to
the bottom of the row, but we will
fight for them as hard as if we were
tied for first place"

ball at second and Hopkins gobbled a

the second inning with nice 2bag-

over the visitors from that time on.
In the eighth, when it was three and
two, a pair of runs cinched the matter.
Although the visitors wet their bats
from the water bucket and rubbed
them with dirt they were unable to
catch up. There was big week day

There's no getting around the fact
that yesterdays defeat was a sweep
ing one from every standpoint. With
IS hits by the visitors and seven
errors by Rock Island, equivalent to
20 hits by the former. the cause of
the showing made is plain. Hughes
was being hit freely and Graham
took his place in the fifth and closed
the case for the defense. Wenig
threw for Davenport and put up a
good article. The visitors fielding
was clean.
The attendance was large, evincing
the rivalry that exists bstween the
two towns over the national game,
and the crowd was of the liveliest
kind.
Rock Islands one run was made
in the sixth and it was gratefully re-
ceived. Rebsamen made a nice nit
and Tate pounded out what but for ad-
verse winds would have been a home
run over the back fence. 1t was
aimed a triHe high, however, and
when it came down Smith was leaning
up against the fence waiting for it.
Mullaney advanced Rebsamen, but
was out, and O'Brien's clean hit
brought the run, Shannon dropping
the ball at the plate. Hopkins flew.
Several times things looked very
promising for more, but in each in
stance something turned up.
Accident Gives First Scores.
Davenport g first runs came through
accident in the second inning. Vein
rauch hit and Lippert walked and
Shannon sacrificed them on. Birming-
ham hit to Hoy and he threw home.
easily beating Weihrauch, but the
latter knocked the ball from Arth ur's
hand and out into the grass and Lip
pert followed home. On Middleton's
error Lyon was safe, but Wenig
forced and Mil popped up. Lippert's
3-base hit ih the third brought an
other. Smith flew, King hit and after
Weihrauch had popped up Lippert
made good. Shannon famed out.
The slaughter came in the fourth.
Birmingham led with 2-bagger and
Lyon lived on a slow one. Wenig
lined out for two and a run was
counted. Mill was safe on Hoy's
slow work and Smith survived on an
error in the same place. King was
out. but Weihrauch lived and then
Graham went into the box. Lippert
drifted to Rebsamen, Shannon hit
and Birmingham grounded. Six runs
were made. In the fifth Lyons
walked, Wenig sacrificed and Nils
hit brought in the run. Smith went
out on a high one and King lived on a
hit, stealing second. Weihrauch
lived on Hoy's error and another run
came. LiPpert dew to Mullsney.
The bases were filed in the eighth,
Weihrauch and LiPpert each hitting
and Shannon being hit. Lyons was
out on low one, Birmingham famed
and Wenig flew out, but one score was
made. Score:
