Refuse to Play.
Rebsamen and Hoag are perform
ing in n rather peculiar manner. Yes
terday they both threatened To leave
the team without a release, claiming
that they intended to quit playing
ball. Today they repeated the state
ments. intimating that they would
not be in the game again. This after
noon when the time to play ball ar
rived they were at the park. but not
in uniform. Doubtless the local man
agement will take steps to discipline
both players for their obdurate CON
duet. They should be made to play
on the Rock Island team or nowhere.
The Mil with Davenport.
Over in Davenport they are just
paving the earth in Impotence to get
at Rock Island and wipe out that row
of defeats that has been an eyesore
to the burghers during past weeks.
The Davenport cranks, it is said. are
taking throat lozsrges and printing
themselves up for keeps and the play
ers are doing great stunts with the
particular object of giving the bumps
to Rock Island. Davenport has been
winning and Rock Island has been los
ing and that is having its effect in
rendering the Davenporters confident.
On this side of the river we are not
indulging in any Dragging, though we
are not scared by any means and eX-
pect to show the Davenporters n fine
chase. While we may not have full
team and there will probably be some
untried material to work out against
10 In a
in the shop and if anything is won
from ms it will probably be earned.
The arrangements of the two teams
have arranged to get rid of one of the
postponed games that were deferred
Memorial day on this side of the river
Davenport will play on this side
Monday. while the two games
Saturday and the one Sunday, as reg
ularly scheduled. will be played in
Davenport. Some big figures in at
tendance are looked for. 1t had been
the intention to play here tomorrow
also, but the local team is hardly in =
position to attempt it.
More New Players.
just now with Rock Island it is very
difficult to tell who is going to be in
the game till the players are seen in
uniform on the field. Case is sick
Cadwallader released and Hoag is al
outs with the management. This
leaves Smith the only available pitch
err. He threw yesterday and it was
the intention to put Graham in the
box this afternoon. None of the eX-
pected players arrived last evening
but they are still being looked foI
hourly. p. Lister and McClintock
two others, are in the city, and this
morning and affixed their signatures
| to Rock Island contracts. Both are
expected to play today. Lister was
| tried out here last year and is an in
| fielder. McClintock was recently
signed for short by Decatur, but as
another shortstop had also been Sc
