Umpire Lewinson has proved to be
the best umpire we have had on the

everybody II square deal. and if he
makes mistake he doesn't try to
even matters Davenport Leader
Rock Island is at Dubuque today.
The Rockford papers say that the
game in that city Wednesday WAS the
finest ever seen on the Riverside
grounds, brilliant plays being 50 com
mon that they were hardly applaud
ed.
Rockford papers are doing their
best to boom the attendance
IT is said that Walt Davis. who. has
been covering short for Bloomington,
has been doing so to save Kings
job for him. King and Davis are good
friends, and the latter even refuses
to draw the salary he is earning. 1t
seems that Davis has not given salts
faction lately and Bloomington is
talking of sending a new man to dis
place him.
There were 10 hits and 10 errors
made in a game at Terrc Haute We'd
nesday. And yet Terre Haute is too
fast for the Three-Eye league.

Beatty, the infielder who was sign

who has been with the team on the
trip away from home, arrived in Rock
Island to-day He is still unable to
get in the game on account of the
fact that his hand continues in bad

The reason that Lister is playing in
the field instead of at short is that
he hurt his arm in the last game with
