the second. They were rank ones.
but neither was costly. Corkhill seem
ed in a trance.
Louie LipPert is not noisy as he
was year ago. Louie had 10 promise
10 put on the soft pedal before his
reinstatement was agreed to by the
directors of the league.
Added to the penalty that Latimer
brought on himself and his team with
his rowdyism, Manager Donnelly soak
ed him with heavy fine before the
team left the city last night.

some Of the widest benders that have
been exhibited at the local park this

The Colts gave an exhibition of
loose and ragged playing yesterday
that was displeasing even to their
most ardent admirers. There is
screw loose somewhere. IL is time for
the management to find where the
note of diScord is and eliminate it.

dropped his cap in making first, and

The Rockford Register Gazette,
speaking of open dates, has the fol-
lowing: The Three-Eye league sched-
ule makers showed their folly in leav-
ing Saturday dates open. No game
was played here today, and it will
mean a big loss in dollars and cents
about the league. Saturday is gen
orally good for much more than the
average week day. 1t is not the in
tention of Rockford to complain for
self alone, as Rockford's end of the
schedule is all that could be desired,
but in the interest of the league local
fans feel that Saturday games are,
next to Sunday, the best money get
ters.'
