Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-05-05

Two young men aspiring To follow
in the footsteps of RUDE Waddell. had
their ambitions chilled at the Rock Isl
and baseball park yesterday after
noon.
1t required but two innings for Du-
buque TO satisfy Womack that he was
labOring under a delusiOn, if he
thought there was any deception in his
pitching. Henderson. a big-boned boy,
who delivers from the left hand. was
chased to the high timber in the third
inning. He was making an awful
mess of the job that had been entrust-
ed to him. When not allowing hits
he was either issuing transportation
or jabbing the batters in the ribs.
1t was the banner Singing match
of the season. the visitors winning by
the narrow margin of one score. At
ter failing to talley for five success
siye innings the Colts showed signs of
returning life in their half of the
ninth and hammered in three runs,
just one short of tie.
YAudIue Goes After Hagerly
The hits were - to s in favor OF
the IIincsites, who gave a ragged fell

work with the stick. The Colts had
three errors and did any amount of
booting of the ball on the infield
Hagcrty. the rowdy covering third for
the visitors, barely escaped an as
sault with a bat in the hands of Van
dine in the third inning. Trouble was
prevented by interference of other
members of the Rock Island team.
While there was no call for violence.
Hagerty should have been put out of
the game for his rowdy trick in at
tempting to hold Nandine when he
started home from third base. The at
tention of the umpire was called to
the performance. but he ignored the
protest of the Rock Island players
However. Hagerty was admonished by
Manager Hines to cease his dirty
tactics and play the game according to
regulations. Hagerty is another Null
Ianey. He is n fair player. and can
be amusing in addition to doing well
his part in the game, but he carries his
capers to the point where they are dis
gushing to the audience. He never
passes a chance to resort to low
trick, once throwing the ball toward
the blcachers when he was at first
and starting for second. The umpire
sent him back. He should have beer
benched. 1t is hoped Hines will
either instruct Hagerty to improve
his diamond manners or leave him be
hind the next swing around the cir

Action of Council is Wise.


The council acted wisely in adopt
ing this course. As The Argus sug-
gested the other night, matter in
volving so much of Importance should
not be hastily considered. 1t was the
first question of import that came be-
fore the new council, and The Argus
is gratitied to note the stand taken by
Aid. j. L. Sexton. from the Fourth
ward, which was that the city should
hesitate before deciding away any
rights abutting on the river. The Argus
is not opposed to granting corpora
tions reasonable privileges, and depre-
eating, as it has so often said ii does.
the disposition of certain individuals
in the community to disturb the Dav-
export, Rock Island d Northwestern
depot and station rights on the river
front, il nevertheless feels the city
should reserve to itself not only every
inch of the levee and river front that
is left, but the opportunity to invite
other roads into Rock Island.
The vacating of streets under any
circumstances in so important Il part
of the city, especially where they lead
to or are closely parallel to
the river, Is Il serious question, as
such rights, with all that they involve,
once abandoned, can never be recov.
cred. The city ought to do everything
in its power to aid the Davenport,
Rock Island &; Northwestern in estab-
fishing the validity of its possessions
in this city, and The Argus believes
that, were the company deprived of
any of its rights now enjoyed, it
would prove n great hardship not only
to the company, but to the public.
Public sentiment and public policy
both favor just and fair dealing
with corporations, especially where
they have acquired their rights in
good faith. The Davenport. Rock Isl
and & Northwestern passenger and
freight depots now used by the C., NJ.
&; st. Paul are among the most at
tractive and conveniently located Of
any in the city, and the company
which is running some of the best
trains that pass through Rock Island
and has placed the city on one of its
most important divisions, should be
encouraged in every way possible and
consistent, rather than discouraged
and oppressed.

ACTION DEFERRED
Ordinance for Vacation of Strip of
Fist Avenue Laid Over
by Council.
LEGAL OPINIONS TO BE HAD
City should Move Slowly in Voting
Away of River Front
Rights.

The city council last evening devoted
special meeting to consideration of
an ordinance presented by the Daven-
port. Rock Island & Northwest tern
Railway company for the vacation of
that portion of the river front occu
pied by its tracks and depot property
between Thirteenth and West Seven
teenth streets.
The objection was raised that it was
not specifically stated how far the
grant sought was to extend. and there
was no assurance that the city would
not be voting away rights that would
block other railroads that might be
knocking for admission in future
years.
The aldermen took a recess to eX-
anime the blue print that accom-
panied the ordinance. and when the
council rcassembled the company pre-.
scented the ordinance amended so as to
include only that portion of First av-
cnue on which are located the depot
improvements, or 300 feet in length
and $50 feet in width. The ordinance
went over under the rules. AID. l.. V.

William Jennings Bryan has made
three speeches in this state which
are remarkable for the falsity Of the
statements made about President
Roosevelt and the present admins
tration. 1t is surprising that the
Democrats cannot select a better
man to stump the country for Parker
when he has repeatedly stated in
public that he has no sympathy with
the Democratic candidate, one of his
most remarkable u|tterances being in
his Chicago speech when he said
