Put down baseball" in your engage
ment book for Wednesday afternoon,
on which date the ThreeEye league
season opens in Rock Island.
The local association hopes to have
the ;urnstile at Island City park install
ed by Wednesday, when the season
opens here Hereafter no pedestrians
will be admitted at the vehicle gates.
They must all go through the turnstile
at the main entrance, which in the
long run WILL it is believed, prove
more satisfactory all around.
With the exception of the opening
game. Rock Island has played winning
ball in all the games on the road.
When the Islander pitching staff gets
used to the opposing batters, there will
not be quite so much timely hitting on
the other side.
There will be JOY all over the league
that Davenport is making such cred
table showing, for it means money in
the pockets of the visiting aggrega-
tons for the time being at least. 1t is
the poorest losing town in the league.
and when it's team is taking its share
of the bumps, the fans sulk in their
tents-and knock.
Rock Island has made a bad get
away so far but the team will round
to all right. A bad beginning means
good finish.
