Baseball Notes.
1t looks natural to see old Tim
back on third. 1t affords reminder
of championship days that is alto
gether pleasing.
In the face of what the team has
been mp against in the way of rank
umpires, commencing with the
Fourth of July game at Davenport, it
would not be unnatural if Donnelly
developed a disposition to kick once
in n while.
1t is sincerely to be hoped we are
not doomed to put up with Collins
throughout the entire home series.
If Collins were less of clown, he
might be more of an umpire.
With half show Rock Island would
have won out at two different stages.
Come, boys, get into your batting
clothes and win out in spite of the
umpire.
Bandmaster Collins was clear up TO
the moon yesterday and his decisions
on both sides were simply atrocious-
Rock Island, however, had the worst
of it,
The Rockford Star says Manager
Nicol is to give his team Il shaking
up on account of losing four straight
games to Davenport. LiPpert, an in
fielder. and two of the pitchers are
slated to go. Ach, Louie, vas ISIS
loes?
New red caps are to be procured to
go with the blue suits the Rock ISL
and team wears away from home.
And it might shake the hoodoo if the
management provided lids that would
better match the gray suits.
The Davenport-Cedar Rapids game
of yesterday was prevented by rain.
Shannon. the pride of the bowery,
is again out of a job. Nicol having
dropped him from the Rockford pay
roll after the Davenport engagement.
Shannon ought TO return to Rock
ford and rest on the laurels he won
as a concert hall singer there recent
L. !, - heNI
ball field instead of in front of the
footlights it is likely. he would still
have been one of Hughey's flock.
Davenport plays here Friday and
Sunday, Rock Island playing across
the river Saturday.
Umpire Brennan gave a game TO
BlooBington yesterday, to 0, when
Evansville in the face of rain at
tempted the same dilatory tactics
that Collins permitted Rockford to
indulge in and succeeded in working
here when little wind blew over
the diamond.
Beulow knew as well as anyone
that Donnelly was not out at first or
he would not have thrown the ball
home to catch the runner from third,
because Donnelly made the third out,
and when Collins called the runner
out, he admitted Donnelly was safe,
as with the latter out there was no
need of decision at the plate. Col
Inns explanation of this was simply,
well, / just called everybody out"
