HERE IS A HARD BLOW
FOR THE BEEF TRUST

The Moline Dispatch has pipe"
To the effect that one of the Burling-
ton engineers running out of Barstow
is trying the fast cure for stomach
trouble and that he has already gone
% days with practically no nourish-
ment. During all this time, il is
claimed, he has worked steadily and
seems TO feel perfectly well. although
he has fallen away about 40 pounds.

Davenport at Rock Island.
Rockford at Cedar Rapids.
Tcrre Haute at Bloomington.
Evansville at Decatur.

After the first inning il was all
over with Davenport yesterday and
the Iowa fans settled resignedly back
into their seats and simply endured
the rest Of the contest.
| The Rock Island players sampled
/ Thomas and found him to their lik-
ing and they proceeded to make a
meal off him. Although the repast
was cut short before the first course
had been served by the substitution
Of Stauffers. there were four runs
gathered in the first and the lead
proved insurmountable, the final
score being To l.
The wonder is that the Davenport
team i able To win anything with
the moral support it receives. Yes
terday when a home player made a
mistake not even sufficiently glaring
to be called an error, he was hooted
and consigned To perdition, figurative-
~ speaking. for the remainder of the
game. Even Mil. the doughty second
baseman, who seems tn he the only
member of the bunch the crowd holds
worth saving, was not exempt and
when he made his one error a great
groan went up. Judging from yes
terday's work. if the Davenport pat
rons of the national pastime were
even half as game as the team, the
latter would be playing winning ball.
Game Was Interesting.
The match was an interesting one,
for all that DavenpOrt's chances were
Clecimated in the start. Rock Island
did cleaner and faster fielding. al
though some account should he taken
of the fact that Davenport had the
greater number of chances to meet.
The only error on the part of the
iIIinoisans was made by Graham on
an easy grounder and he did so only
because he was over-anXious to make
a double of it. The very next ball
that was batted out, however, gave
him the opportunity TO assist in
double that retired the side. Smith,
who served the leather apples for
Rock Island, showed up rather wild
at times but he steadied down in each
case and the fine support he had pre-
vented any loss being sustained
thereby
1t looked like a smuggling match in
the beginning, and indeed it was. but
in the beginning only. For Rock Is
land, O'Rourke accepted a pass to
first and died at second. forced by
Donnelly's bunt. Shelton nabbed one
that came within reach and sent il
sizzling over into the left corner of
the pasture for three bases, Donnelly
scoring. This again disconnected
Thomas and Graham was presented
with his base. stealing second. Hill
laced a hot bouncer over the box and
lived, two more runs coming to the
plate. At this stage, with three
scores in and one man out. Thomas
was replaced by Stauffers. the tOiler.

Many comments were heard among

some declaring that it was the best

remarks.
