Two great games were pitched in

of Davenport, allowing Decatur but
one hit, and Bloomington securing but
two safetics off the delivery of Kill
liam, of Rockford.
Rock Island and Cedar Rapids play
IA postponed game at Twelfth street
park tomorrow. They also play here
the three succeeding days.
Word was received last evening
that the Rockford Davenport games,
which were to have been played at
Rockford Friday, Saturday and Sun
day of this week would be
transferred TO Davenport. The
transfer was the result of
the big carnival at Davenport this
week. The first game of the last
series between Davenport and Rock
ford at the city over the river was
transferred To Rockford because of
the big Woodmen celebration there,
and the wisdom of the movement
was shown in the big gate receipts.
