Could Not hit,

Dec@tul, LAY 2.-Failure to connect
with JacolFen's delivery at opportune
times cost Rock Island the opening
game in tn Three-Eye league season
yesterday at this city. Jacobsen's
worh in the box was the feature of
the game, in fact, only Is men fac
ing him up to the seventh inning.
Jacobsen is the man who held Terre
Haute down last week to one hit .
Then the visitors began connecting
with him, and obtained four hits be-
fore the end of the game, netting two
runs. Case also pitched a good game,
and held the locals down to seven
hits, but three errors assisted in de-
termining the outcome. The game,
however, was well and evenly played.
MNehseHthusiasm was shown, crowd
of 1000 people being in attendance.

In the opening games of the Three
Eye league yesterday Rock Island lost
to Decatur, Dubuque to Rockford,
and Joliet was shut out by Blooming
ton. In all three cities the opening
day was marked by much interest and
a large attendance.
The fact that the teams all showed
up well and played good consistent
ball Will cause general satisfaction
among the fans, for it points to a
gos l tight race during the season. At
Decatur and Rockford. the score WAS
c.ose, while at Bloomington inability
to hit on the part of the visiting ag-
gregation was responsible for the
shutout. Hhe opening at Davenport
took place this afternoon with Cedar

hotel sonly different. When man
goes into a hotel and he finds some.
thing on the table which does not suit
him. he does not get up and raise
hades with the landlord and tell him
to stop his danred old hotel. Well,
hardly. He sets that dish on one side
and wades Unto some of the many
dishes that do suit him. 1t is differ
ent with some newspaper readers.
They find an article occasionally that
does not suit them exactly, and, with
out stopping to.sthink it may please
hundreds of other readers, make 2
grand stand play of their supreme as.
