| Graham got very neat assist from
right field in the second when he cut
Caffryn off at third.
From the work of Connolly since he
has been here it begins to look as
though he is one. of the kind that
stays.
c. q. Sample, an insurance man of
Greenfield. was in indianapolis ask
| ing for two sons, from whom he had
not heard for several years. One is
| a pitcher-Guy Sample in the South
ern league, and formerly played with
the Bloomington and Chicago Nation
ais. He will share in a fortune of
$780, 900 left by an uncle at New Sos
ton, Ill.--Bloomington Bulletin.
McNichols was playing under diff
culties yesterday, as he has been for
number of days past. He deserves
praise for being in the game at all,
haN mi in eli
second some time back. For this
reason he did not attempt to run to
first when he made the last out in
the seventh. The censure he got
from the bleachers at that time was
wholly uncalled for, and in view of
the reputation he has made for faith
full work, it was ineXcusable.
McGresvy disobcyed Conner's or
ders in the fourth and hit the ball in
stead of bunting. The result was
double. When the king" was taken
to task for it he became funny and
n consequence he was sent to the
bench and Mullaney was put in his
place.
Starnagle, of Terre Haute, who is
known as the "Cannibal'' because he
chewed Neecher's hand, is back i'm
the game. 1t is said they are friends,
which means they are ready to mix
again on slightest provocation. They
are like Elsey and Kinlock, who used
to fight every night and make up in
the morning.
Teddy Price has asked for and re-
ceived his release from Cedar Rap
ids. He will go to Oklahoma Terri-
tory to play.
During the last visit of Blooming
ton to Rock Island The Argus was
gratificd to be able to venture Il word
of COMMUNICATION for what appeared
to be desire on the part of the
visitors to act more gentlemanly on
the ball field than had been their rep
HtatiCn in the past. But it is in the air
among the Boomers, whose rowdy
tactics seem to have become chronic.
They are natural and therefore will
come To the surface whenever occa-
sion offers. This is the team from
the town that stoned. the Rock Island
players on the last trip there.
Mullaney IS the leader I'm the
teams tactics. He has the loud
est mouth of any player in the league
is disgrace to any team that he
is identified with-and every sclf-re-
sPccting fan would say amen to his
expulsion from the league.
Towns that were in the old Central
league with Springfield are not en-
thusiastic about that city coming
into the Three-I organization. The
capital crowd quit early in the game
three years ago and SO did Peoria.
The latter city ought to be in the
Three-I. The game is just as fast as
in the Western. The attendance in
that city this summer has been first
class despite the fact that the city
was represented by a losing club.
Yesterdays doubleheader between
Decatur and Rockford put the former
abreast of the schedule. 1t is the on
ly team that has played the regula-
ton number of games. Rock Island
is four behind, three with Cedar Rap
ids and one with Rockford.
Walker, the backstop imported by
Bloomington from the Michigan
league. has been working the soft
pedal during his Rock Island engage
ment. Some of the boys in the
bleachers have dubbed him 1.-The old
lady" He is not such Il poor ball
player at that.
