numbered 1900 people and it was as
enthusiastic as little hoy is over his
first pair of trousers. 1t was motley
aggregation, these ball players. And
they did surprisingly well, too.
Base Running Tough on Players.
Rock Island had Davenport
skinned Il mile. This fact was evi-
dencCd by the number of times that
Davenport changed pitchers. And the
field work of both teams was about
the save, making the men evenly
matched.
One trouble with both sides was that
most of the men were of such obesity
and rotundity of belt that they could
not make much Roadway at base run
ming. Or il may he that running from
anything is out of their line of bust
ness. IT was a Comical sight to soc
some of them as they trudged along
the lines in making determined eff
| forts to steal bases.
The crowd went away from the
ground feeling that they were given
value received and return game Will
bring ont another big crowd.

Oh, well. it's past history now. just

That no more runs were made off
so many hits is highly creditable to
the Rock Island team work in gen

Davenport and Rock Island said
their adieus of the schedule season at
the park out on Twelfth street yes
terday afternoon. The Iowans viola
ted every condition of the Hague
agreement. They brought along ex-
plOsives that are tolerated nowhere
within the confines of civilization.
They were not in the least sOCiable
as they might be expected to be on
such an occasion. On the other hand
the Rock Islanders were as tame and
peaceable as a flock from kindergar-
ten out on a frolic. They were not
in the least offensive to the visitors
at any stage of the game, serving
them with the cordially and Difference
of guests at church sOciable. 1t
was Hughey Nicol's and Jeems Hayes
farewell party and there were 1000 of
their friends in attendance. 1t was a
goOd-naturcd audience, but the Rock
Island folk kicked on the refresh
ments. Instead of pie they were
served projectiles of the eight-inch
variety just like Rock Island has
handed out to the Iowa folks on SO
| many occasions. The score was tC
l. You will have to search further
down for the hits. 1t would not be fair
to tell out here what they were Then
YOU don't care ANYWAY

Harry Stauffcr was the delivery boy

get for the knockers from over the
pond. Rock Island wanted the game,
and played earnestly to win it, but
If it was to- be lost, there is no one
to whom 1t would sooner humble than
this self same little gentleman. For
Harry is every inch a gentleman, and
pitcher and a ball player. He had
the home team bending in all direc-
tions through the nine innings. While
he famed one man only, still he kept
the balls in the air and within the
range of the fielders. Lundin was re
! lieved in the third inning when the
bases were filed and Il tally had been
brought. He had given a base and al

seemed. for while Lakaf Jared some
what better than his predecessor, he
was found frequently enough to fatten
up the run column of the visitors to
an extent that put them out of reach
of the home club
