to get them all home should anything
happen while out.
The errors of Wright and the slow
ness of O'Rourke yesterday were
causes that contributed to the loss
of the first game. The play of the
latter in loafing to first base when
Hackett threw him out from the field
after dropping his fly, was one of the
rankest things that has happened on
the diamond this year.
The Ottumwa Qowa) Courier has
great scheme for 1898. 1t advocates
the organization of an Iowa state
base ball league, and states that in
terest in the national game is on the
increase at that point. The teams in
the league would be Ottumwa. Keo-
lluk, Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Oska-
loosa, Marshalltown, Webster City
and Fort Dodge. 1t is to be hoped,
as the Rockford Star says, that the
Rabbits are not foolish enough to get
into brush league of that kind.
Don't be discouraged. We only
need to win the games that we are
behind on the schedule to get in the
500 class again. And there is the ma
terial in the Rock Island team to do
it. We are solid behind the bat and
there is not a better outfield in the
league Miller and Hill are as good
as gold, and ii is hoped that Wright
will get back into trim shortly and
that the third bag will be properly
looked after. The pitching staff
needs strengthening somewhat and
doubtless will get it, but it might be
worse at that.
The Rockford Star says Rock Island
started the report that is going over
the Three-I circuit to the effect that
Rockford is to be dropped next sea
son because of poor attendance. This
is mistake. The report emanated
in Davenport about the time the
Rockford team was there, and it
would not be surprising if Nicol was
the originator of it in the hope of
awakening the interest and attend
ance at home that n team such as he
has provided the town with is deserv-
ing of having. There is no doubt,
however, that Rockford is the poor
est patronized ball town in the league
and has been so for two seasons.

Entirely plrerent story.

Graham and Hackett, who had
played in the right field on their re-
spective sides in the first contest,
were put in to pitch out the second,
and the battle was an even one. In
the seven innings each side got three
hits, but Graham struck out 10
men, while Hackett struck out no
one. The skill OF the latter lay in
keeping the batters against him from
hitting safely. Rock Island had lit
tie chance of scoring after the first
inning, but the visitors had three
men on bases in the fourth and Ora
ham saved disaster only through
superb pitching, striking out three
men and retiring the side. Miller got
the only run in the first inning. He
made a hit, got second on bad play
by Satrnagle and third on throw
by Richardson. Then he scored on
Wrights sacrifice. Score of second

Anyone who was baseball hungry
Yesterday had an opportunity to get
a feast at reasonable figure. 1t
was the first double-header the man
agement has been permitted by the
weather to pull off on the home
grounds this season. Jupiter Pluvius
was evidently taken off his guard but
when he saw what was up he mar
shalled his forces and succeeded in
cutting two innings off the last game.
No one was particularly put out about
it, however, for all had enough to
last over night.
No two games could have been
more widely different. One was full
If bases on balls, singles, two-bag-
gers, three-baggers and home runs,
with plenty of old-fashioned excite
ment. The ether was full of O's on
the score board, dinkey little ground
srs and strike-outs. Terre Haute
fell to batting the ball in the very
beginning and nothing could stop
Them till Graham began to handle
the leather in the second game. Rock
island did not do much with the will
low taking the two games through,
but made the most of the oppor-
tunities on base.
Milton and Eickers were sent in to
pitch against each other in the first
game. Both were working under ten
sion as the result of the trouble they
had had in the morning and neither
staid the game out. Nickers gave
Miller, the first man up, base, and
the latter got to third and stole home
while Nickers held the ball ready to
leliver. The audacity of the trick
LACED the big pitcher and his doom
was sealed from that time. The next
inning he gave three bases and four
Guns were secured and he was pound-
I'd severely in the third. Then Manager
Walters thought it was time to take
him out. Milton was not wild, but
the visitors began to pound him freely
from the first. When in the fifth
Richardson repeated Miller's feat of
knocking the ball over the left fence
with two men on base. Milton was
succeeded by Smith, who failed to
stop the batting streak the visitors
had on.
Three Hours of Baseball.
The first game began at 2:3O and
from that time till $3.50 there was
nothing doing but baseball. \ large
crowd released from business by the
holiday of the merchants was pres
ent. After the first contest the pitch
ers were given time to warm up and
then the second one began. When
the clouds began to gather at the
end of the seventh inning and the
rain could be seen coming down in a
solid wall near the horizon on three
sides Umpire Hickey called the game
IN account of darkness, thereby
showing his regard for the welfare
IF the crowd and his excellent iudg-
nent of weather conditions as well.
The crowd barely had time to reach
town before the storm broke.
Both Start Early.
Rock Island began scoring early.
Miller, the first man up in the first
inning of the first game, walked and
although the next three men were
out, he scored by stealing home. In
The second three passes filed the
bases. One run was made on an out
by Milton and then came Miller's
pretty home run over the left field

The Inventor of the Polka.

1t is not generally known that the polka
was invented by Bohemian girl named
Hanickza Selezka. She was a blooming
peasant maiden, and the best dancer In
the village OF Costello. on the river Elbe
and used 10 perform solo dances OF her
own invention at the various village fes-
tivities. II was In the year 1880, at
farmhouse. that the assembled guests
asked her 10 dance a solo, and she said
II will show you something quite new"
and TO the music OF her own singing she
danced a polka step. though with more
elaboration than IL is now performed
This dance found favor at once. and be-
came so popular that IL later became
national dance. Hanickza named Il
Pulku. as she said IL was danced In short
steps: from Pulku came Iolku, and
finally Polka: the dance three years later
became popular I'm Prague, and I'm 1859
IL was already danced AT Vienna balls.
and one year later became the most
popular dance In Paris.-Exchange.

Power Lost in Flywheels.

The resistance which a fywheel offers
to the air may give rise In some cases
to considerable expenditure OF energy.
Some tests were made i'm the Nuremberg
central station which showed this very
clearly. The station is provided with two
tandem compound engines Of 450 horse
power direct coupled TO the dynamos and
working at 95 revolutions per minute. In
order to equalize the running with the
great variations of load which occur,
very heavy hywheel was used with arms
of channel section. Ii was found that
these arms offered a great resistance to
the air, and created a powerful draft
and so II was decided 10 cover the wheel
with sheet iron in order TO reduce the
resistance and thus gain considerable
power. In order to test the amount of
energy lost, the dynamo was made TO run
as n motors and thus drove the engine
and hywheel at no load When the lat
ter had no protecting covering IL was
found TO absorb 1890 watts, but when
the covering was replaced IL took only
1874 watts. thus showing a gain of 1926
watts of 81 horse power this being l2
per cent OF the power OF the engine.
Counting the current price per kilowatt
hour and days run OF IL hours Il was
found that this represented an economy
OF nearly s270 annually Another test OF
a similar nature was made by NJ. Ingliss
upon $50 horsepower engine and showed
an economy as high as 30 horsepower
or As per cent Of the engine power. which
was gained by properly diminishing the
resistance OF the ywheel.-Scientific
