| The contention of the Rockford cor
respondents to Chicago Papers thai
the attendance at the games in that
| city is better than in some of the
other cities of the league is open to
serious doubt. The attendance at
Bloomington this season has not
been what it should be and it may be
that when the averages are figured
up at the end of the season it will he
found that the receipts have been as
good or possibly better at Rockford
than at Bloomington.
But so far as the statement that
Rockford has given Rock Island
moro money per game than Rock ISL
and has given Rockford. it is false,
and the figures on the books of the
local association do net bear it out.
In fact the balance is on the other
side of the account in such marked
degree that it is rather strange the
Rockford correspondent broached the
subject.
So far each team has played two
series with the other on the home
grounds. When Rock Island was at
Rockford in each case rain prevented
one of the games, while all six of the
uled. In the four games played at
Rockford Rock Island got $114.7O.
while in the six games played here
Rockford got $414.90. The average
per game in the first is S2S.6s and in
the second S69.15. Therefore it will
be seen that the attendance here was
more than double what it was at
Rockford. There was one Sunday
game at each place. At Rockford the
total receipts were $S6.70, while here
they were $4s2 90. There is no com
parison between the figures.
The attendance in the Three-I
league this year, especially at Sun
day and holiday games, has been
much better than it was last year.
running in some cases nearly double
last years figures. This, of course,
has been counteracted to some extent
by wet weather. which has so far
caused the postponement of upwards
of fifty games, number greatly in
IeXcess of those postponed last year.

Loagest Game Record.
Interest in the eXtra-inning con-
tests on the diamond this season has
brought out much discussion about
the longest of all the games played
III the big leagues. The longest game
IN record in the National league was
played at Cincinnati between the Chi
cago and Cincinnati teams during the
latter part of May in 1892. The game
lasted 20 innings, and when finally
called on account of darkness the
score stood tie, Z to Z. In an old
account the game is described as fol-
lows, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid:
The fielding on both sides was of
the sensational order. Wilmot time
and again saved the Chicagos from
defeat. In the 18th inning the Gin
cinnatis should have scored the win
ming run. Browning was on third
and Comiskey on second. with only
one man out. Smith drove n terrific
line drive to left, which Wilmot
caught by jump. Browning thought
il was safe hit and left his base.
Before he could get second start
the ball was fielded in.
DUNCAN in the ninth led off for
Chicago with Il two-bagger, but
phenomenal catch by Browning pre-
vented him from scoring. The bat
ting of Arson and DUNCAN and the
fielding of Comiskey, Wilmot, Cooney
and Dahlen were the features in this
remarkable game, which created
new record in the National league.
Comislley made league record at
first base by accepting p chances
without an error.
The most peculiar thing about the
game was that both pitchers were
hit hard during the early innings.
but after the fifth neither side scored
for Is consecutive innings. In the
three hours and 20 minutes during
which the game lasted there were
offered to the fielders 1913 fielding
chances. all of which were accepted
but 10. and only six bases on balls
were given by the two pitchers to
the ISL batsmen who faced them"

tlished and aFdently maintained and
encouraged. A supplementary and
comprehensive plan of higher eduea-
ton was adopted. The urgent neces7
sity for making adequate provision
for the special training of teachers
for the public schools was recog-
nized. 1t is said that the legislators
who established the public school
system of the state. with its supple
mentary systems for highest educa-
ton and special training, had in view,
as the contamination to be eventual

state university and five state normal
schools. If such was the original
plan, it has been adhered to and now
consummated. These institutions are
located at Normal Carbonate.

ing so located as to be of easy access
to every part of the state. The es-
Establishment and maintenance of
these institutions annually costs the
state n very large amount of money.

well spent.

pionship fight between James
Jeffries, the present nholder of
the title, aud ex-Champion Bob
Fitzsimmons, expired at noon to-
day aud it is expected that the
choice of location will be an
nOunced at once. The evident
sincerity OF the two big fighters
in coming to terms has led to a
spirited rivalry among the fistic
organizations throughout the
country to secure the battle. The
high bids publically announced
by several Of the leading clubs
has frozen out the smaller or
carnations, but it is believed
that no fewer than six or eight
clubs have put in bids worth con
sidering.
