Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-08-11

Bloomington, Aug. 11.-Rockford
appeared to be right at home on a
mud field, while the reverse was true
of Bloomington. Both teams batted
viciously. but Decides had the best
support and the visitors also bunch
ed their hits to the best advantage.
Umpire Burrell's decisions aroused
the anger of the crowd and he was
escorted from the diamond by the
police. Score:
Bloomington O1111OOO-4
Rockford .......O2 32OO1O-s
Hits - Bloomington, Il; Rockford,

Beedles and Thiery.
Players Reach Home.
The Rock Island baseball club ar
rived home this morning from the
tour of the southern towns in the
league. OF the 10 games played five
were won and eight lost. Manager
Donnelly asserts that the team
would have played at least even if it
had not been for the accidents that
critical stages and brought about the
necessity for playing others out of
their places. All are in good condi-
ton now. however, and the aggrega-
tion can be relied upon to make the
visiting teams play ball during the
home series that opens tomorrow.
Moline Defeated Again
The Rock Island BARRIERS took an
other game from the Moline BARRIERS
yesterday and did it in such man
ner as to leave no doubt about the
respective merits of the two teams.
The game was played in Moline and
the score was 13 to l. With the VIC
tory went the sum of $50 that had
been put up by the contestants. The
grounds were so wet that it was diff
cult to tell whether the contestants
were playing ball, hunting ducks or
bathing. Two errors in the second
inning game the Moliners their one
run. Sample. who twirled for the
Rock Island team, played a remark
able game. He struck out 10 men
and gave no hits and no passes. He
was given good support. Score by
innings:
Rock Island ........3 > o 00-13
Moline .............o o o 90 o o. L
