He was brought to Rock Island this
morning by Sheriff Ileider from Nor

have been, the suspense. at least,
would have lasted longer. Cassidy

a put-out at first. Herbert drove a
single to place where Rock Island
tarried not. but his good work went
for naught as Mullaney and TRULY
went out ON caught flys. Green aus

the inning by agitating the sphere in

slammed it to Muilaney. who welcom-

Star Pitchers Compared.
The Decatur Review lauds the re-
cord of "Beany" jacobson, the star
box performer of that city. and shows
up his pitching record compared with
that of other good pitchers of the
league of last year. The only man
who compares well alongside of
Beany is Graham, who began last sea-
son in the box for Rock Island. Ora
ham pitched ten games and won eight
of them. while Jacobsen has won
eight out of eleven. Jacobsen eXcels
in the average number of hits, which
is 4.64: the average number struck
out. which is $50, and the average
of bases on balls. which is
1.45. Graham is ahead in the matter
of the average number of runs as
there were but 1.6O made i'm the ten
games he pitched for Rock Island last
year. This indicates that Rock ISL
and gave him better support than
Jacobsen has been getting.
Complaint from Umpire.
Umpire Lewinsohn had some criti-
cism to make after the game Friday
on account of the remarks made by
al. t,n no
alton about his work. and said there
might be steps taken to have the Of
fials take their seats somewhere
else than under the grand sta nd.
1t is certainly bad taste for those in
to roast the umpire over
decisions. When it comes from the
bleachers. of course that is different.
1t is reported that Lewinson viii
be transferred by President Sexton To
the Western league. There will be
complaint on this around the Three
Eye circuit, for Lewinson has shown
himself as good a man as has been
seen here in many a day, and there is
less real cause for complaint over his
