Pop Ups.
The locals made n showing that pun
some of the Knockers. VINO were in
evidence al the beginning, out of the
running, and there was nothing but
praise for Manager Donnelly and his
colts before the finish. One error on
cold day is not bad. The outfield
did not have much chance to show off
but the work of the inficld was almost
perfect.
Four of the visitors saw second, but
not one reached third. There was no
inning i'm which more than four men
came up with the willow.
The local management needs to be
once more reminded that the press
box is badly out of repair and not of
sufficient size for Sunday and holt
day games, particularly with Daven-
port. The press representatives are
not asking for cushions and pop at
the expense of the management, but
they would like room enough to take
notes without running into contem-
porary territory.
Mrs. l.. G. Eddy, wife of the secre-
tary of the local association. has
been appointed official scorer for the
weekday games.
Manager DonnelIy announces the
signing of new third baseman i'm
the person of Ben Shelton, of Paris,
Tex. He was in the Pacific North
west league last year and has proved
himself one of the fastest third base
men in the minor leagues. Comislley
was after him last winter for the Chi
cago American league team. Shelton
is expected here this evening. If he
makes good Graham will be placed at
short and there will he some changes
in the outfield.
Case is doing the box work for
Rock Island today.
Davy Jones, last year with Rock |
ford, has jumped again, this time
from the st. Louis American league |
team to the Chicago National club.
He played with the latter aggregation
yesterday and was responsible for
two of the three runs with which |
Chicago defeated Brooklyn.
