UmpirinE a Farce.
Advices from Dubuque indicate that
Rock Island has had to contend with
n species of umpiring there that has
rendered it practically impossible for
the team to win. Umpire Farnham
has carried on things in such high
handed matter that it is Il matter of
comment on the part of the people of
Dubuque themselves. Saturday, be-
fore Beulow made his home run. Farm
ham deliberately filed the bases for
him, and yesterday he did the same
thing, but Buelow was unable to make
good. Farnham evidently harbors
some feeling against Rock Island.
Notes of the Diamond.
Rock Island is playing off the game
at Dubuque postponed from Friday

1t is reported that Claude Elliott.

slated to join the Boston Americans
as soon as the American association
season is over. Elliott has been pitch

Rockford papers say Middleton has
more nerve than when he played with
Rock Island.

1t is reported that Chuck" Flem-

team and is now working in a shoe
store.
The honor of being the heaviest hit
ter in any league in the country be-
longs to Manager Charlie Buelow, of
the Dubuque team, who in the past
10 days has pushed his average far
above the 400 mark. Since the open
ing of the series at Cedar Rapids Bue-
low has been batting better than
600 clip. In two games he averaged
1000, and in the game with Bloom
ington Tuesday he made three long
hits in four times at bat. Students
of the game say that Buelow is the
most natural hitter ever seen in Du-
buque. 1t is very seldom that he goes

all his hits are line drives, and there
is many a ball player in the league
today whom Buelow helped to MAIN
because of the speed with which he
bats out the ball. 1t is really a pity
then that being such a fine batter
Beulow is kept out of the big leagues
because of an injury to his leg. He
was hurt in a game in Cleveland three
years ago and compelled to abandon
his position at third base. He has
hopes that after this season and a
good winters rest his leg will be in
good shape, and he will go back into
the big league again.-Dubuqu

Beedles. the former Bloomington
pitcher. who finished last season with
Rockford, and who has been with that
team so far this season, has been re-
leased, and Dubuque has signed him.
Manager Hayes of Davenport and
number of others are said to have
been after him, but Dubuque made
him the best proposition. 1t is said
that Beedles did not like Rockford,
and was anxious to get away.

The insurance men of the city and
the Rock Island Sash & Door works
office men played tight game of ball
at the Twelfth street park Saturday
afternoon, the score being 10 to in
favor of the latter. The batting was
not particularly heavy on either side,
the contest partalling very much the
nature of battle of the pitchers, in
which Hunter, for the insurance men,
had rather the long end of it. The
insurance men had the best of
it all the way till the seventh, when a
batting rally and an extra error or
two let in five for the other side and
il was all over, it being a seven-inning
