the crowd at Rockford at the opening
game there Friday in explaining why
it was that Rockford has fewer Sunday
games at home than any other city
in the league He stated that the
patronage at Rockford had not oeen
as good as it ought and that as other
towns had shown more marked
spirit to back up their teams he
thought the games ought to be play
ed where the people indicated that
they wanted to see ball. And the peo-
pie of Rockford recognized the justice
of the statement, and did not become
sore
Graham was favorite at Decatur
The Decatur fans had fun with
Dickey, who was with the team from
that town for time last year.
Won Borseum, the Decatur short
stop, is u Boer. and is said to have
fought on Spion Kop.
Ward Isbell, brother of COmiskey's
first baseman, has joined Dubuque. He
had a try as pitcher with the Chicago
Americans but was not ready for the
big league pace.
Carr. the Dubuque shortstop, is a
fast .infielder and a pretty handy
sticker as well.
Kewanee is contributing quite a
large percentage of the players to the
Three Eye league this year. In adj
dition to Graham and O'Leary of the
Rock Island team, the following
league players made their start in
the Henry county city: Pollock, of
Rockford Niscoski, of Joliet; Ives,
of Davenport; besides there are sever
al baseball youngsters from Kewau-
nee and the towns in that neighbor-
hood who are making their bow in
other leagues throughout the country
this season.
