Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-07-10

The crowd that left the ball grounds
yesterday afternoon wore different
depression from that which it wore
after the two previous games. 1t was
one of part satisfaction and part re-
lief. Rock Island did not win
through lack of errors. for they made
three times as many as the visitors.
Neither was it through any advantage
in the number of hits, for Rockford
had nine to our eight. But Rock L.
land did the hardest pounding and at
a time when it did the most good,
and Milton got in his fine work when
it was most needed. lie pitched a
brilliant game and was ably seconded
by Arthur.
Reosamen, the new change catcher,
played right and played it right. He
swung a handy stick, too. Hoy was
back at his former place at third, and
again demonstrated that be is an out
fielder. Owens was on second and
Hugh in center field. For the Vis-
itors, Thiery, the bricktop, who is
catcher by profession and an all
round ball player by nature, was in
the box. His work. while not bril-
liant. was more effective than that of
Easton the day before. 1t being Ia
dies day the grand stand was we'll

dummy, through the feIder's error
in judgment. did not camp till he
reached third. Tate came up to the
scratch with nice one that
bumped against the left fence and
the runner stopped at second. Hoy
hit and stole, Mullaney grounding to
short. Rebsamen pounded and Tate
came in, but Middleton was cut off
on a dusty one. Thus four hits were
crowded into one inning and as many
runs were made. In the sixth, when
the next run was made, Rebsamen hit
and took second on q balk. Middle
ton waited three strikes dismally, but
Arthur brought in the score. Milton
died on low one to third. In the
seventh Tate, who had been aiming
at the left fence aAthrough the game,
planted one over on the pavement
and took his time in counting another

Gets Three In First.
Rockford punched three hits in the
first and it looked sad when two runs
crossed the plate. After ShafTer had
famed, Pattison, Jones and Conklin
scored. Ferris forced Conklin and
Hanford grounded to Hoy. In the
second and third, Milton, by beaHti-
full work, retired the side by tanning
the last two batters with men ON sec
ond and third. In the sixth, however,
the score was tied. Ferris made one
of those disagreeable short hits that
work the pitcher and third basemen
so hard and generally leave the run
ner safe, and Hanford placed a nice
fly in Tate's init which the latter did
not hold. Then, with men on second
and third, Elliott, whose habit is to
fan, hit 2-base grounder to left and
the others came home. Sears was
out to Milton and Thiery walked, but |
