LOST ON A WINDY DAY.
Saturdays Game Went TO Davenport on
Number of MIshaps.

The game Saturday was easy for
Davenport, the score being 6 to in
its favor. The trouble occurred in
the fourth. when a base on balls, a
single, and a combination of bad pie
with poor Judgment, allowed the visI-
tors TO secure three runs. The day
was a most unsatisfactory one for
baseball Wedig played a poor game.
and couple of bad plays of his in
the fourth were largely responsible for
the loss OF the game. Hagerman al
lowed seven men TO go TO first on pass
es, six on balls, and Webster twice ow-
ing to being hit by a pitched ball. the
wind rendering il difficult TO locate the
plate.
In batting Rock Island outplayed
Davenport. securing nine hits. while
Hagerman held the Riversides down

was so close that the lime was dust
ed up by the ball, but the umpire call
ed it a foul. Had it been counted a
fair ball the score would undoubtedly
have been different, for the hit would
have scored one man, and left McCon-
nell on second. The score:

there is not a finer park anywhere in
the country in q minor league than the

those who designed and constructed

Mines Coal in a Wreck.

Six years ago three-masted schoon-
er loaded with 10000 tons OF good coal
was sunk in the Coatzacoalcos bay,
Mexico, short distance from shore.
At that time the insurance company,
which paid the loss ca the vessel and
its cargo, figured that it would cost
more than the coal is worth to recov-
er it.
Emilio Frank, merchant of Coat
zacoalcos, took look at the situation,
and came to the conclusion that the
construction of the harbor jetties there
would cause the sand to drift over the
hulk, and that in the course of few
years he would be able to mine the
coal at a shallow depth under the sand.
He purchased the whole 10000 tons of
coal from the insurance company for
$110 in gold. He waited patiently for
his theory to be worked out, and time
has shown that he was correct.
The sand now almost covers the
hulk of the stranded vessel and in a
few more months he will begin mining
the coal. 1t came from the United
States, and it is worth S14 to $50 in
gold a ton at this place. and he will
obtain a net return of $4,000 to $780,
600 on his investment of $110. He has
already sold enough rope. tackle and
timbers obtained from the vessel to
pay the small cost of mining the coal.
