Now, on the umpire question the

whom Rock Island has entered justifi-

his repeated shameful treatment of

thought enough of Rock Island to stop
here, but chose Davenport to this city

Another peculiar phase OF the Her

was mobbed and beaten in Puritanical
Decatur but a short time ago. Regard
ing Lawrence. he was like Milan-so
partisan in his fondness for Davenport.

MUST REPORT THERE SEPT. l
Preferred Coast Berth to One in Big
Leagues-Another Signed to
Take His Place.

W. J. Sweeney. for two seasons
shortstop of the Rock Island team and
this year captain, has been sold to the
Portland team of the Pacific league
and will report for duty Sept. !.
This announcement Will be received
with regret by all followers of the ma
tional game in Rock Island, for Swee-
ney has been one of the most popular
and consistent players that was ever
connected with the local team, but the
management feels that it is justified
in taking the course that has been fol
lowed
Sweeney is one of those players who
is in the game for the love of it and
to see the country. When he signed
for this year he made the request that
if he was ready by the end of the sea
son TO graduate into faster company,
that a place be found for him on the
coast. as he wished to play ball there
for a time. prefeTring that TO a berth
in one of the major leagues. Several
opportunities have been offered this
season to part with him to one of the
big league teams, but while he assur-
ed the management that he would
cheerfully so wherever he was sent.
he still preferred a position on the
coast. So. in view of the players good
record. and the fact that he had made
some sacrifices to remain here in the
face of a much larger salary offered
him early this year to jump to the
Pennsylvania outlaw league through
Kohley Miller, the chance to dispose
of Sweeney TO the Portland team for a
snug sum was accepted.
Two Seasons on Coast.
On the coast there are two pen
nant seasons each year. the second be
ginning Sept / and closing Dec. 3. In
order to guard against the importation
by wholesale of big league players af-
ter their season has closed, the Pacific
league has adopted a rule that no
players may be brought n from outside
leagues after Sept. /. Therefore. it is
necessary for Sweeney to leave before
the ThreCEyc season is finished. He
will play out the Peoria series, re-
turning here Monday morning and leav-
ing Monday evening for the west.
President Sexton today stated that
in all his baseball experience he never
had dealings with a more consistent
and Gentlemanly player than Sweeney.
He is but 30 years of age, and it is
believed that there is a great future in
store for him in baseball if he chooses
TO follow it as a career. Since he has
been with Rock Island he has not
missed a game in which the team par
ticipated a fact that forms an index
TO his character. Rock Island fans
will unite in wishing him success
wherever he goes.
