SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE
SPEND DAY IN MILWAUKEE

Between 500 and 900 people availed
themselves of the Comus club eXcur-
sion to visit Milwaukee yesterday.
The excursion left this city over the
Milwaukee road Saturday night in
two sections, about IL o'clock. The
day was an ideal one for the trip
and all who went appear to feel well
repaid for having done so. The en-
tire day was spent in seeing the
sights of the city and the two trains
reached this city on the return after
daylight this morning.

Seldom has there been more real
baseball seen in one game on the
local grounds than there was yester-
contest with Il score of ) to 4. There
was not an inning that both sides
were not in the game and the big
crowd was intensely interested from
start to finish. During the greater
part of the play the score was tied.
The day was fair for ball, the dia-
mond was in perfect condition and
the prospect of lively contest inJ
terested many Moliners and brought
over a big crowd of rooters from
Davenport to see for once good
game of ball. The latter were not
disappointed and the way they
whooped it up for Rockford kept
both the grandstand and the bleach
ers i'm an uproar all the time.
The fielding was perfect up till the
eighth inning. when Case made
bad pass to catch Pattison at second
and allowed him to make third. 1t
obtained nothing for the visitors.
however. Then in the ninth Shelton
made a bad throw over To first that
allowed Lippert to live and gave
things bad aspect for time. But
this, too, came to nothing. 1t was in
the tenth, when Rock Island had one
to the good and Il shut-out would
have saved us the game that Donnelly
dropped fly in center that gave the
run that tied the score and enabled
Pattison who batted. to reach third,
from which he scored on a fly out to
left by Kruger.

faithful and conscientious manager
and player, and when he makes a
blunder it is only after he has done
the best he knows how to perform
his part.
Some have wondered that there
have not been the home runs pound
ed over the fence this year that
there were last. 1t will be remem-
bered that il was common pastime
for link to lay them over the right
field fence and for Hoy and Tate to
take turns in seeing which could
make them bounce the highest on
the pavement of Twelfth street
south of the foul nne. This year,
however, there has not been fair
ball knocked over the fence. The
difference would appear to lie in the
balls, for no one doubts for an in
slant that all the teams that have
played here are swinging the stick
as hard this season as last. Some
have thought it is because last year
the Three-I league used the Reach
ball, while this season the SpaIding
ball is used. 1t appears, however,
that both balls are made by Reach
as last year. Manager Donnelly is
of the opinion that Il better class of
pitchers this season than last has
something to do with it.
That was a fine running catch of
Owens line drive in the ninth,
Pcachy.
Hill made strange assist in the
fourth. With Kruger on first, Ma
honey batted a warm grounder to
short and Hill ran against it. The
ball rolled toward Miller, who stood
on second. and the latter was able
to pick it up in time to retire his
man.
Case did nice work Yesterday,
striking out seven men.
Yesterdays crowd was the most
musical so far this season. That
chorus in the high bleachers re-
sang together.

Fielding Brilliant.

There were many brilliant plays on
both sides. as is evidenced by the
manner in which the ball was pound
ed and the smallness of the score.
There was no less than 10 outs made
on flies to the outfield. Williams came
the nearest of anyone so far this
season of making home run by
hitting the ball over the left fence
in the eighth when, with one man on
base, it would have won the game.
The sphere, bad luck to it, curved
about five feet to the left and went
over outside the foul line.
Rockford scored twice in the first
inning through hitting the ball at
proper times. Lippert hit, was ad-
vanced on Hines sacrifice. and scored
on COnklin's 3-bagger. The latter
came in on Beulow's grounder to
Miller and Pattison ended the ses-
sion by striking out.

the visitors had batted out four runs
in the first inning ii began To look
like slaughter of ,lckers, but the lat
ter and the team back of him re-
covered and began to egg their OPP
ponents. Then along toward the lat
ter part of the game they got their
hitting clothes on and began to
touch the leather in tender spots.
Five hits in the seventh brought four
runs and tied the score with five
each. In the ninth Williams won the
game with his fourth hit.
The grounds were so wet that the
players fell right and left and num-
ber of hits on both sides would have
been out" or errors for the fielders
if the condition had been normal.
The crowd was large and appeared
to have a good appetite for ball.
When the locals began to pound the
horse hide the enthusiasm was some-
thing tremendous. Both sides did
some superb fielding, conditions con-
sidered. Williams assist throwing
a man out at first as he sat on the
ground after a fall, Conklin's catch
in right and Mahoney's steady work
at short were features.

In the second and third Rock Is

the former inning but Williams made
good. Conwell flew to Beulow but
Case hammered out a nice drive to
right. O'Rourke was accorded
pass and DonneIly's hit brought the
run. Shelton was out on a dusty
one. In the second Graham, who has
new bat, led off with a 2-bagger,
Hill advanced him with sacrifice,
and he beat the ball when Miller
flew out. Williams went out on the
ground. In the sixth Rock Island
plucked another. Miller took four
broad ones. was sacrificed on by Will
liams and scored on Conwell's fly out
to right. Case lost his life with
bOuncer into Owens nit.
Rockford evened things once more
in the seventh. Shannon was out in
the air to Shelton and Owens placed
foul in the same pair of paws.
Then Lippert, a bad man to have on
base any time in the inning, got
hit and scored on Hines 2-bagger.
COnklin flew out to Donnelly.

AN UNPLEAsANT EXPERIENCE.

Has it ever been your unhappy lot to be told by your physician that you must go to a hospital and submit to an opera ton? If so, you remember with what dread and shrinking you awaited the day when you must endure the knife. The present day surgeon appears to be possessed by mania for operating, es- pecially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles, and while the greater number of the pro- fession do not recommend this Hast re- sort,". unless they honestly believe it nec- essary, the fact remains that much needless operating is done, and the pa- sient put to much expense and suffering for what? To obtain a possible tempo rary relief these words are used advis- edly because in nine cases out of ten the affiction returns and the patient is just where he started from. Oftentimes he could be cured much more simply and easily by the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid Tile Cure; this has come to be recognized as the best remedy on the market for the painful disease named. and the druggists now sell more of it than all other pile remedies combined The writer personally knows people who were afflicted with the worst form of bleeding and rrotruding piles and who were permanently cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of these cases the attending physician had assured the sufferer that only by an op eration could he rid himself of the dis ease so lauch for the infallibility of the doctors This remedy, which is sold by all druggists at the low price of fifty cents, is in suppository form. Is applied directly to the parts affected. and per- forms it's work quietly and painlessly. The Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall. Mich.. will man free to any address book tell ing all about piles or hemorrhoids, their cause and euro.
