| Let's -see-Wasn't there a howl from
somewhere down about Bloomington
soon after the Sexton schedule was
adopted against the plan to put Bloom
ington at Cedar Rapids for the opening
game? Wasn't it said that the wealth
er way out at the northwest end of the
circuit would likely be bad? Well,
Rock Island has been playing in tn
south and has missed four out of six
-ames on account of the weather
Bloomington, playing the north end of
he circuit has missed bu. one.

1 poor throw to the plate and his for

At last the fond hopes Of all Deca

that within the next few days Eddie

Eye Baseball league and Charles Ben

bali club. are making a tour of the
northern cities. They were in Daven
port yesterday.
Decatur Herald: The Decatur ball
team, almost to a man, was feeling de
| cidedly blue last night over the knock
ng INDUCED in by fans because of yes
| terday's result. The knockers got III
their work good and plenty and many
who never before thought OF using
their hammers are working their heads
off. Look at the Boston Americans
| for instance Twice acknowledged
| champions of the world, they started
out almost exactly the same way last
season and finished at the top. The
| best OF ball teams fall down at the
| beginning of the season. What has
| Springfield done and she carried OFF
| the penant last year? Come out of il
now, you knockers. Would you be as
loud in your praises if they had won
all the games they have played thus
far as you are in your knocking?
The fremen OF engine house No l
made Hank Walter present of hand
some silk umbrella at Decatur as a
| token of their esteem 10 the former
| Decatur player and to show their APP
probation of his loyalty 10 the place
he calls home. Hank accepted the gift
with delight. but could not find words
to express his true feelings and after a
few laudible attempts was compelled
to give it up. Hank was great friend
of the fire boys during his stay in De
catur and spent most of his time with
them even taking part in many of their
runs TO fires. The umbrella has a
| pretty silver handle which he will have
handsomely engraved.
