Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-08-08

Thiery has a fine coming from the
president of the league for his conduct
ut the park yesterday. When Umpire
Stuart came to the official scorers box
and asked if Nandine had crossed the
plate before Hupp had been put out
at third, over which play there was
disagreement. Thiery walked at his
liars" In the next inning he threw his
mask at Thornton while the latter was
running to first base. For the unbe-
coming remark. which nearly every
one in the grandstand. which con
tanned hundreds of ladies. heard.
Thiery should receive punishment be
fitting the Oifense at the hands OF the
league executive. Umpire Stuart
should have penalized him for hurting
his mask at Thornton. Thiery is It
rowdy of the lowest stripe. His kind
has no place in baseball in this day
and age The time when tactics such
as he practices would be tolerated has
passed. Thiery is one of the stripe
that is all smiles so long as they are
winning. When the tables are turn
ing, however. the real color shows.
Woolf, the Dubuque catcher, is not
much better. Saturday he laid down
because the local team was hitting
Eastman too frequently for comfort.
and acted in an ugly spirit. Hines
took him out of the game. He should
have had Il piece taken off his salary.

A Misleading Report.

In Its report of the primary election
result, the Gazette of this city made
it appear as If August Fors berg and
Nels B. johnson had been contesting
the nomination with their republican
opponents, and named the difference
OF the total vote given them as the
"majority' in each case. Forsberg
and johnson had no opposition at the
primary, and their names appeared on
a separate ballot, so there was no par
ticular object for their supporters to
vote, as one vote was sufficient to
nominate them. This contemplate
trick was intended to deceive those
voters who seem to have difficulty to
understand the difference in the DUR
poses of the primary and general elec-
tions, and was wholly beneath the dig
nifty of a reputable newspaper. At
the general election all voters will
have an opportunity to choose be-
tween the candidates., and, unless We
mistake the temper and Judgment of
the people, these gentlemen whom the
Gazette would belittle will give their
opponents q battle worthy of their
best efforts.

CHURCH IS DEDICATED
Services at Crow River Church

Ringville Correspondence, Oct. 10.
The dedication services held at Crow
River church yesterday was quite q
success, altho it was raining nearly
all day. Prof. Hjort is remarkably
good singer and his songs were real
treat to those who had courage enough
to face the rain and come out that
day. Among the best received num-
bers he sang were "Sleep, My Little
One" and ''Den Store Hvide Flok vi
Sc. " They were so we'll rendered that
they had to be sung twice. Prof. Ryd
ming, who furnished the instrumental
music, did also very we'll and showed
those present that there is plenty of
music In the new organ when the
player knows how to use it. A COL
lection of different Scandinavian mel
odies put together was so we'll liked
that they had to be played twice. The
two aeags sung by the local choir
were we'll rendered and greatly appre-
ciated. The only thing to be regret.
ted was that the weather was so unfa-
vorable that more people could not
come and enjoy the good singing and
playing.

Trainmen Receive Injuries.

s"''S' '\~Ss'~ "sJSAs s~Ss
Conductor Dan Wright and Brake
man Lafayette Nelson were badly
shaken up last Saturday while being
in the caboose of a work train near
Howard Lake. Really how the acci-
dent happened we can not learn, but
it seems that the engineer stopped the
train so suddenly that Wright, who
was standing in the aisle, was thrown
against one of the end doors. He
struck with such force that his right
arm went thru the pane. His hand
and arm were considerably cut up and
his head was also bruised. Nelson
was thrown against double window
and his head went thru it, but the fact
that he had his soft felt hat we'll pulled
down over his forehead saved him
from receiving any bad injuries. Mr..
Wright was taken here on Saturday
and his injuries attended to by q ply
sician. At present the injuries are
rapidly healing and the patient seems
to suffer no serious Inconvenience
from his experience.
