Williams, Weihrauch, King, O'Leary,
Schuler, Milton. Smith, Case.
O'Rourke. Middleton. Conwell. Hop
llins, Nickers, Torrence. Hill, Shelton,
Barr and McNichols.
Everybody is more than gratified
with the teams showing from Mama
ger Donnelly down. The backstop
work of Williams and O'Leary has
been all that could be desired. while
Milton, Graham. Case and Smith have
been faithful and hard working in
the pitchers box. Wright has in the
majority of games played Il reliable
first. Miller's second base play and
all around work has been the best in
the league. Graham has done him
self proud both in the in and outfields.
King has proven a satisfactory utili-
ty man. and brief as has been Schul-
er's engagement'on con the team. he has
proven one of the fastest and most
promising players in the league. In
the outfield Wilkinson. DonnelIy AMI
Weihrauch have been there with the
goods both with the stick and in the
field. Here's success to all of them
another season with the hope that
those who cannot do better in n

the blue, which distinguishes the
Rock Island uniforms.
