Saturdays game between Daven-
port and Decatur was a remarkable
one in point of length, Is innings be-
ing played with but one run. In the
twelfth inning Evers, Davenport's
catcher, became offensive on the
coacher's line and Umpire Hickey
sent him to the bench. He came up
to bat in his next turn, but he was
informed that he had been put out
of the game. Then he made run
for the umpire and the two clinched.
The crowd from the bleachers surged
onto the diamond and things assum-
ed such threatening attitude that
Hickey took refuge in the hack of
the Decatur team and declared the
game forfeited to the visiting team,
Q to o. After time, however. upon
the promises of Capt. King of the
protection of the Davenport players,
the game was finished. Decatur has
put in claim for the game on the
ground that it was declared forfeited
to them, but the point has not been
decided as yet by President Sexton.

Terrence got his revenge yesterday
for his release from Evansville. His
control was almost perfect and his
former associates found the article
he served up to them too complex to
negotiate for more than five hits. His
coming out before the fans of this
city was a great success.
The grounds were very slippery,
and as the locals went after every
thing that came their way, errors
were rather numerous. Several times
after errors had put men on base it
looked as though the visitors were
due to score, but in each instance
Torrencc's pitching and good sup
port prevailed. Twice promising
prospects for Evansville were cut off
by fast doubles.
Get Early Lead.
From the fact that Rock Island got
fall six scores early, the game was
one-sided The main interest center
cd in the effort to make it a shut-Out
and Terrence, after getting a hit and
ma king a score, took it easy at the
bat in orderste be in trim for artistic
work in the box. The condition of
the grounds made sensational work
out of the question and the features
were few. Ebert, the visitors short
stop, is nursing a sprained knee and
be was compelled to leave the field
after the fourth inning, Quinn taking
his place and BurchelI going out into
the garden. Hickey, owing to the
trouble he had in Davenport Satur-
day, when he was assaulted by Evers,
exchanged places with Brennan and
umpired on this side of the river.
Miller Began 1t. as Usual
Miller, when he came to bat in the
first inning, was awarded transpor-
tation and was sacrificed on by Dom
nelly. Graham died on a ground hit
and Miller took another. Wright
pounded out a nice two-bagger and
the run was in. Williams got a sin
gle, but the slippery track prevented
Wright from counting and Wilkinson
ended it with muddy one. In the
second the victory was clinched with
five more. Hill got his base free of
all charges and McNichols hunted "A
popup into News mitt and was out.
Terrence welted the ball and Miller
took four, filling the bags. Donnelly
nailed out a hit for a pair of them,
but got out at second on Graham :
grounder. Wright also was handed
four broad ones and then Williams
and Wilkinson basted out singles,
netting three runs. Hill, who had
started it, made finish with IA short
bouncer to Kennedy.
Good Prospects Spoiled.
The visitors got a pair of hits in
the first, but were cut off with dou-
BILE by McNichols, Miller and Wright.
Their best chance to count happened
in the third, when Ebert survived on
poor throw after brilliant stop by

hit for two. Ebert rested on third,
but was run off by Polchow when
Lawrence went out on a grounder.
Williams nailed him at the plate.

MID-coNTINENr LINE
A Director Says Rock Island Wants
No Coast Extension.

New York, Dec. 3.-s'The Rock Island
company" said a director today, has
no wish to extend it's system to the Pa
cific coast, if the company continues to
be fairly treated, as it is now being
treated by the other great railroad COM
panies. There is absolutely no plan at
present under consideration for the
Rock Island to build to the Pacific. A
story about an extension of the Choc
taw road from Dallas to Galveston is
incorrect. A branch of the Choctaw
ends at Ardmore, which is about ninety
eight miles from Fort Worth, Tex, a
southern terminus Of the Rock Island. A
link between Ardmore and Fort Worth
will undoubtedly be built From Fort
Worth at the present time the Rock
Island management is building an ex-
tension southwark, which, within two
years, is expected to reach Galveston
and be in full running order. This ex-
tension will give the Rock Island its
much desired outlet to the Gulf of
Mexico and tidewater. The Rock Island,
as matters stand, is a great mid-coun-
try system, touching the city of ST Paul
on the north, Chicago and St. Louis on
west and when the gulf outlet is COM
pleted it will reach Galveston on the
south 1t will there have it's gulf outlet,
while at Chicago it will have it's lake
outlet, its lines tapping all this i'm
mense stretch of territory, the golden
agricultural domain of the United
States. The new extension from Fort
Worth to Galveston will run through
some of the best agricultural country in
the south, yielding wheat, corn and
cotton.

HOSPITAL ON WHEELS.
Southern Pacific Will Prepare to Care
for Fatal Wrecks.

The Southern Pacific railroad has
preparations completed for the con-
struction of a completely appointed
hospital car, such as are in use on some
of the northern roads and upon the
Plant system in the south. The plan
was first preached when DR.. Knox took
charge of the medical department of the
rO2d.
The car will be constructed in the
Houston car shops and be up to date
in every particular. Operating rooms,
a ward, kitchen and berths for the at
PENDANTS required will complete the
equipment within. The construction
has been left in the hands of the med
ical department. The hospital on wheels
will be kept on duty in the yards always
ready for immediate service when need
ed on any of the Southern Pacific roads.
Room for eight or ten patients will be
provided.
The headquarters of the car will be

Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 3.-The issu-
ing of an attachment for Joseph -Addi-
son, a detective, was the principal fea-
ture of the Rambo murder trial in the
common pleas court, yesterday. Addi-
son arrested Rambo a few hours after
the killing of Patrolman William j.
Morris. He is one of the states wit
nesses. Even since the trial began, yes
terday excepted, he has been in attend

County Attorney Enright, that he
wanted to go hunting; that he intended
to start this morning. l told him that
he was needed in this case and caution

Judge Holt was thoroughly indignant
over the action of Detective Addison
