Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-07-10


is strong and was equal to the task
that Collins imposed, outrageous as
it was.
Collins should seek an avocation
where all that will be required of
him is to make funny faces and
strike attitudes.
You are all right, Peach. 1t would
have been another shut-out with an
intelligent umpire back of you.
The Rock Island Roofing club
should get in evidence. Yesterday
number of the fans showed what
little spontaneous enthusiasm will
do by yelling themselves hoarse and
otherwise making noise at the proper
stages. But what is wanted is sys-
tematic, persistent roofing through
out an entire inning and until the
last man is out where there is an
occasion for roofing at all. 1t is
said that there is not a town in the
league but does less roofing than
Rock Island, and when the team
reaches home it expects little in its
own behalf of what it is obliged to
put up with from the other side
when away. There is something in
that. Roofing, however, does not inn
ply nooulumism. Intelligent roofing
has for it's object the stimulating of
confidence in the home team at every
stage of the game, and especially at
critical times. While roofing may
be carried too far in Davenport, yet
it won at least two of the games from
Rockford in that city. There is no
question about that. And we are GO
ing against Davenport next.
For goodness sake, shake those red
caps with the gray uniforms. Either
give us the blue boys at home or get
caps that will harmonic with the
gray suits.
President Sexton returned this
morning from trip west in the in
terests of the Western league.
Lee Hopkins. Rock Islands former
left fielder, left last night, after a
short stay in the city, for Dubuque,
where he has signed.
Dial Williams is catching with a
very sore finger on his right hand.
The nail of the third finger was torn
loose by foul.
The making out of reports at the
office of President Sexton is delayed
by the absence of any official returns
of the games played at Rockford.
The official scorer at that place has
been repeatedly reminded of his der
ELECTION from duty, but without re-
suit. The rules of the league pro-
vide for a fine against the club in
such cases, and it is probable that
one will be imposed unless a report
is made in the near future.
1t is often the case that meritori-
Gus features are rot recorded in the
tabulated story of the game. For
inss SSs-a in addition to the hit with
when he is credited, Donnelly yes
terday hit a long drive to deep CEN
ter at the right time. which, while
being caught, was far enough out to
bring one man home and advance an
other to second. Such work when
needed serves as good purposes as
clean hits when there is. no one on
base. 1t is the timely drive that does
the business.

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea.
about six years ago for the first
time in my life / had a sudden and
severe attack of diarrhoea," says
Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas.
Il got temporary relief, but it came
back again and again, and for six
long years / have suffered more mis-
cry and agony than L can tell. IT
was worse than death. My husband
spent hundreds of dollars for physi-
clans prescriptions without avail
Finally we moved to Bosque county
our present home, and one day hap
pened to see an advertisement OF
Chsmberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy with the testimonial
of man who had been cured by it
The case was so similar to my own
that 1 concluded to try the remedy
The result was wonderful. L could
hardly realize that 1 was well again
or believe it could be so after having
suffered so long, but that one bottle
of medicine, costing but a few cents
cured me-" For sale by all drug
