clusion was reached regarding the
acceptance of Dubuque for member
ship in the league. The Key City is
recognized as one of the best base
bali towns in the northwest and
could well afford to support a league
team, notwithstanding the expert
ence encountered in the management
of former league clubs. At the pres
ent time Dubuque is ripe for profess
sional baseball, and it is hoped that
arrangements can be made to gain
berth in the Three-I league, which
is recognized as one of the strongest
baseball organizations in the coun-
try.

VIckers Was Wild.

NickerS was rather , wilder than
usual from the start but it was in the
sixth that he went altogether wrong.
After his third consecutive wild
pitch Smith took his place without
having had a chance to warm up.
Berte was up and had two balls so he
got his base. After that Smith
pitched good ball and the visitors
were able to get but one hit off his
delivery. There were n number of
sensational plays in which Rock Is
land carried off all the honors. Con

of catches. one on a long run in and
the other to the foul line. Miller
made. a nice stop of groundcr
over second bag and caught fly on
a run back that looked impossible.
Williams paced over to the Cedar
Rapids bench and caught foul that
would have fallen squarely on top of
the seat. All of the star plays came
in for a full measure of appreciation.

nice clean fielding game, but they
showed n Discrimination to take

and three wild pitches in succession,
all were on the locals side of the ac-
count. Sweat, swat the ball and

IL was a hit and run game. the
first that Manager Donnelly's men
have played here in some time, and
the tactics were eminently success
full. Durham seemed to have a facul-

and everybody took "A rap at il but
Smith, who had but one chance.
The visitors got only four hits but
they were presented with six bases
on balls. three wild pitches, passed

ball, equivalent to IL bases.
