Second Game.
The hits were few and far between
in the second game. In three in
nings MilIer's pitching put two men
on base in succession, but no hit
could be secured to bring in the runs.
The only run of the locals came in
the sixth and was earned. Donnelly
lambasted the leather for a pair of
sacks and Graham brought him in
with slow single to the outfieId.
The Rabbits had very small show
till the seventh, and then with two
men on base and one out they were
put out of the running with a fast
double by McNichols, Miller and
Wright.
Snapper" Kennedy, who heads the
batting list. came up first in the ninth
and get hit. Sam Kennedy attempt
ed to bunt, but got little fly toward
Wright. Snapper thinking that
Wright would catch it, staid on base.
Wright did not get the bali on the fly,
Ond,. where McNichols got the put out.
Wright then went to cover first and
McNichols threw back to make a
double. Miller was on the line, and to
get out of the way he threw himself
on the ground. The ball hit him,
however, and bounced out of the
coacher's line, letting Sam Kennedy
to second. Then Hines got a single
and O'Connell hit for two, securing
one run and tying the score. Dahl
quist got hit about ten feet in front
of the plate and Case bungled it so
that Hines scored. A third run
came in on Hills long fly. McNich-
OILS made another error, but it did not
count for anything. as he got the run
ner at second on the next play. Rock
Island finished in one, two, three or
der. Score of second game:

American league, but as the Cleve-
land offer carries the most money it
is thought he will accept that.
The Rock Island team leaves tomor-
row morning to play the final series
at Cedar Rapids. where it is expect
ed the remainder of the postponed
games will be played OFF. Next Sun
day the final series of six games with
Davenport win be begun in that city.
Belden Hill, of the Cedar Rapids
team, has announced that with the
close of this season he retires from
active baseball playing. He is prob
ably the patriarch of the Three-I
league and his familiar figure will be
missed next season unless he recon-
siders his determination.
McNichols has been suspended by
Manager Donnelly. He has been out of
condition for weeks, having a sprain
that prevents him getting about with
his customary facility. He will not
be put back into the game till he is
in condition. In the meantime Ora
ham will play short.

First Game.

In the first the visitors led off with
a run in the opening session on a hit
by Sam Kennedy, an error by McNich-
OILS and a hit by O'Connell. The last
man was put out with the bases full.
In the next inning Rock Island even
ed it up with a hit by Wright, errors
by Dahlquist and Weaver, a sacrifice
by O'Leary and a fieIder's choice. In
the third the visitors piled up six.
after chances to retire the side had
been thrown away by misplays on
the part of McNichols, Donnelly and
Wilkinson. Hines, first up, flew out.
.O'Connell got hit and Seisler sur
vived on an error. Then came
a two-bagger by Hill, single
by Weaver and a base ON balls to
Berte. DahIquist flew out to the out
field. The two Kennedys each got
singles and six runs were in. Hines,
who had begun it, ended it with
grounder to Wright.
Two hits by Rock Island the same
inning awaited nothing, but in the
sixth a run was made. PonnelIy got
life on an error and scored on a
twO-base hit by Graham. In the
ninth, with two men out, the fun be-
gan, and before it was ended Rock
Island had made four runs and had
man on third, where another hit
would have made it tie. Miller liv-
ed on base on balls and DonneIly
slammed out a single. Graham went
one better and hit for two Then
Wright found a soft spot in thu. field
and Wilkinson damned the bail over
to right for three. O'Leary ended the
game by grounding to Berte. Score

\ falling off in the number of older
teachers in attendance this year is
marked, although there is the usual
number of beginners in the profess
sion. Rock Island county, especially
in the country districts, shares the
condition prevailing elsewhere of Il
scarcity of teachers of experience,
and there seems to be a growing ten
dency in this direction. The number
of male teachers in the rural districts
is exceptionally small, there being
but four now in the county who
taught last year outside of the cities
and villages. In many places male
teachers are preferred, especially
during the winter months. but the
young men appear to have found 9th
err vocations more attractive than
that of the country schoolmaster.

1t wasn't Rock Islands day to win
yesterday. If it was not one thing it
was something else that prevented
on each occasion when victory
might have been pulled out. Both
games were hard fought. The first
was lost in one bad inning and then
all but won back in the ninth. The
second was kept in hand till the ninth
and then lost in a bad finish.
1t was ladies' day and there was
one of the largest crowds out that
has been present at a weekday game
this season, drawn by the fair skies,
the double-header and the record that
the team has been making of late.
Made . Notable Finish.
The batting streak of the locals in
the ninth inning of the first game
was notable. Till the last game in
the ninth inning Rock Islands errors
were not bad in themselves. but they
were followed up by the visitors with
phenomenal work with the stick. In
the last inning the visitors got after
the ball and then with a tired field
the errors were punched.
Smith and DahIquist served up the
article for the opposing sides in the
first game and they broke about
even. O'Leary caught the first for
Rock Island and Williams the second.
Case and Big" Miller, who was with
Rock Island last year, were opposed
to each other in the second, and it
was battle between them. Except
for the last inning the Rock Island
lad had the best of it. In the second
Dahlquist played first for the visitors
in the place of Davy Seisler, who has
a game leg.

STATE can SUE mERozn.

Pile salt.

The United States supreme cour.
Monday granted leave To the state Of
Washington TO iile an original bill for
an injunction against the Great North
ern Railway company, tho Northern
Pacific Railway company and the
Northern Securities compapy ia con-
uectiou with the petition Of that state
recently filed 10 the court.
The opinion In the case was delivered
by Chief Justice Fuller. who stated
that the court had always exercised the
utmost care In its proceeding, in origi-
nal cases, and that the present decision
TO grant leave 10 Gle was intended 70
be entirely without prejudice 70 either
party at interest.
Reference was made 10 ,hs case Of
the state Of Louisiana Va. Ire state o.
Texas concerning the quarantine regu-
lation OF the latter state 10 which leave
was given to file, aud the state Of
Minnesota vs., the Northern Securities
company, In which the petition TO Gle
was denied.
Referring TO the latter case, he said
the petition had been refused because
Of the insuperablo objection that in
dispensable parties TO The ease could
not be brought into the court. This
objection did not. however confront
the court In the present case, and tho
court felt that because Of " desire TO
proceed with the utmost care and de-
liberation In all cases where original
actions are brought in this court, the
precedent OF the Louisian a-rexas case
should be followed rather than that Of
the Minnesota case Ia the present In
stance. Hence leave To die would be
granted aud subpoenas would be issued
returnable on the first day Of the mex,
term Of court In October.

and completely destroyed the town OF
Amatitlan. Both OF these towns were
capitals Of the departments Of the same
name each bears. II is reported that
500 persons were killed In Quesaltenan-
go, but the rumor lacks confirmation.
The exact loss OF life cannot now be
ascertained. News OF the destruction,
which extended 100 miles along the
western part OF the republic. is coming
in slowly, because all the telegraph
wires are down.
It is known that Amatitlan exists no
more as a town, the seismic disturbance
having been 40 great. The Inhabitants
that is, those Of the 10000 residents
who escaped death In the cataclysm-
are camping In the open air for safety,

fifteen miles south OF Guatemala City,
while the latter is more than 100 miles
to the northwest.
