Martin Let Out.
Before the team left for the south
last night Pitcher Martin was given
his release at his own request. With
Graham taking his regular turn in the
box the team has four pitchers, and
a staff not second to any in the
league. Wind, who has been PLAYED

up fairly well there, but he is an out
fielder and it is doubtful whether he
can make good at short. However,
he seems to take matters coolly and
has made favorable impression so
far.
Umpire Takes Leave.
Umpire Nc Namara, who officiated
here during the last series up until
Yesterday, has given the league the
slip. Yesterday Ralph HaversticL, the
league secretary. purchased him
ticket to Rockford and he was as
signeC to that city. \ little later in
the day il was learned at his hotel
that he had gone, directing his mail
to be sent to Pittsburg, Pa. He gave
no reason for his summary action and
is supposed to have used his transpor
tation as far as Rockford and from
there gone to Chicago. Umpire Bcr
ryhill, of the Western league, happen
ed To be in the city and he agreed to
oiiiciate. There were no kicks on his
decisions.
From the I3Teachers.
The Kansas City team of the West
ern league has signed Lawrence Mil
ton, formerly with Rock Island and
recently released by Omaha after be
ing farme6 to that team by the St
Louis Nationals
John Arthur can have home in
Rock Island
Dickey was purposely given his base
in the second yesterday, for Stautfer
figured that it would be safer To take
chances on getting Arthur out with
three on base than to put the ball
where DickeV could reach il with two
on base. How Arthur cleared the
bases will become a matter of his
tory.
Some Of the DaveuItGrt. papers de-
voted the ordinary amount of space
given to ball games to roasting the
umpire yesterday. Judging by the
manner in which such papers were off
on the details of the game they were
hardly in a position to justly criticise
his jumps.
If the other Three-Eyc teams were
all like Davenport To Rock Island
what easy sailing we would have.
It's mean to crow about il when
Davenport is feeling so badly.
We have won IA straight from the
town across the river counting the
last series of last season, which we
took straight.
Today Rock Island is opTning at De
catur and then we tackIeA Bloom
ingtOn proposition. At b"Ih places
the team will encounter aggregat ions
that have been winning lately with
out break, bloomington having "A
long record of straight victories and
generally by a small margin. After
the six games Bloomington comes to
Rock Island beginning here next
Tuesday, and Decatur and Springfield
will follow.
