After taking the first two games of
the Davenport series the Islanders
handed the visitors the third. and to
make sure that the question might not
be misunderstood, they kept on handing
it TO them, only stopping when the
ninth inning was over. Over 1900
people saw the miserable exhibit
ton, which made it worse. and perhaps
accounted for some of the work, for
some of the Islanders certainly acted
like bunch of kids up to speak their
first pieces. Wanner did all he could
to play worse than Snapper Kennedy
at second, and Olmsted and Vandine
took turns throwing the ball away. The
outfield was bad enough, in spots, and
the infield was worse. barring first
base. 1t should be said that Forney
who was put in the place where Man
ager Mcconnell ought 10 have been
worked like little hero at every stage
as he always does.

TWO new MEN ON
ISLANDER SQUAD
Tyler Christian of Terre Haute Added
to Pitcher Staff-George Cook,
infielder, Coming.

Tyler Christian from the Terre Haute
team of the Central league has been
added to the Rock Island pitching
staff, arriving today. He was with the
same team last year. and although 1t
was an aggregation of losers, he won
II out of 80 games. He was turned
over to this club on an acknowledged
debt for Kohley Miller. Jones, who
was given for Miller, did not show up
good.
The -Distiller Management has turned
over to Rock Island Infielder George
Cook He has belonged to Peoria since
early in the season, and had not been
expected to report until June 1. He
sat on the bench yesterday, but will
report to Rock Island in time for the
expected to report until June 1. He is
said to be fast and hard hitter, but
Peoria had no place for him.

Had Them Beaten.

The Islanders had Davenport beaten
when they went onto the grounds. Two
games We're gone and they remembered
the hoodoo. and all there was to do
was 10 take the third And the fact
Of the mater is. the visitors were not
entitled to but one of the eight runs,
the first one. But all they had to do
was TO ge; on and the rest was easy.
Converse started the work in the
box and broke away all right. but the
errors started at the same time. and
when four scores were made in the
second with three hits he retired in
favor of Lakaff. Only three hits were
made on him, but the scores kept on
piling up.
Trouble in Second.
All the trouble started in the second
inning. Curtis hit clean two-bagger
to right field Harrod hit one to the
nfield and made it safe because no.
body was on the bag. He started to
steal second. and when the ball was
thrown down Wanner failed to collect
it in time to get it back and Curtis
scored. A three-base hit by Lelivelt
scored Harrcd and Lelivelt came in
on Ramey.
In the third Crockett batted one
down in the infield that Wanner let
go through him into the garden, and
Burg got on while Crockett was being
caught at second Christie Wilson mis-
judged a fly and let the runner reach
third base, Burg scoring. A single by
Harrod scored Curtis.
Only an Intermission.
| For three innings the work was bet
| ter. and it looked as if the Islanders
had settled down to hold their oppon
ents to the end. But it seems that il
was only an intermission. After two
were out Lakaff passed Ruby, and that
was all that was necessary. Crockett
hit one down to Vandine, and he could
not resist the temptation to get in the
wagon with the rest, SO he threw the
ball out into the field in attempting TO
| get the runner at second The result
was that Ruby went on around. In the
ninth Mccormick was the first up and
was given a base on balls. Lelivelt
sacrificed and the runner went to third
on 4 short hit by Ramey. FOrney threw
the bali down to stop Ramey on steal.
expecting to get it back to catch Nc
Cormick coming home. They had Nc
Cormick between the bases, and the
ball came back all right, Olmsted
throwing it, but it came back to the
grand stand high and wild. The score:

Another Jail Break.

City Marshal Eugene Williams
doesn't like colored men any more,
for which there is a reason. Last
Saturday evening Earl Chappelow
missed suit of clothes that he had
hung out on a clothes line to air.
Sunday morning Dan Pattee missed
a bicycle, also left out doors to air.
The marshal concluded that the
two had gone together. and possibly
a man with them, SO he telephoned
about the county for the different
officers to look out for man in q
suit of clothes and on bicycle.
Shortly after this word came from
Platteville, that they had caught a
big buck niggre, in connection with
the aforementioned articles. Gene
went down on the afternoon train,
got the wheel and the coat and, vest.
The unmentionables were on the
niger. While the officer went to
supper the darkey tore out the side
of the jail and left with Earl Chap
pelow's panties.

ON RURAL ROUTES
Work on New Directory Pro-
crossing Well

The work of compiling the list OF
names on the rural mail routes out
of the city has nearly been completed
for the new city directory of Gree
ley. A comparison of the old direc-
tory and the new list shows great
many changes during the year and a
half since the old directory was pub
lished.
1t is not alone in the newer sec
tions of the country that the changes
are noticeable, but in such sections
as PLEASANT Valley. The principal
reason for the changes there is that
several of the old time farmers have
sold or rented their places and
moved to the city to live.
There are also several farmers who
were renters a year or two ago who
have become owners of the same
places that they formerly worked
upon shares.
When once the work on the rural
routes is completed the solicitors
will be put to work in the city and
will clean up this work in a few days
time. The SloweSt work was taken
up first in order that the entire list
of city and country residents might
be as near up-to-d date as possible
when the book was printed. Had
the city directory been taken first
this matter would simply have had
to lay in the printing office until the
list had been made up on the rural
routes.
The new book will in nearly every
way be superior to any heretofore
published.

Waded River,

The hunt for John Cummings,
the man of the three jail breakers
most wanted, has been given up for
the time by the sheriff and his
deputies. Cummings seems to have
literally evaporated. TIE last heard
Of the man definitely was week ago
Sunday. He was then in the vicin-
ity of Fort Morgan and his compan
ion, Walter McCarty, was captured.
The officers, one after another, re-
turned home the latter part of last
week, having given up the chase.
There is little belief that Cum
mings may have perished from cold
and exposure, but generally the
officers do not look upon this as
probable.
More likely he has either found
friends in northern Colorado or he
has been able to give the officers the
slip by boarding train.
McCarty has been brought to the
Jail here from Fort Morgan and tells
a good story OF cold, hunger and
hardship while he and Cummings
were trying to make their escape.
They waded the Platte river several
times, and what little they did sleep
during the three days chase was
mostly in the open air with scarcely
any food at all to sustain them.

OLD AND new
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH is BEING RAZED
New and Modern Edifice to Arise
on Old Site-Brief His
tory of the Society
and Officers

The demolishing of the old Metho-
dist church was commenced last
Thursday to give way to handsome
modern structure.
In this way will disappear one of
the Oldest and best known landmarks
in Greeley. The old church was
built in 1871. At that time the
Greeley NJ. Z. church society had
lust been separated from the circuit
of which it had been part and Rev.
G.. II. Adams appointed as its
pastor.
The church was practically orga-
nized by Rev. B. Il. Vincent, who
up to couple of years ago was for
number of years its pastor. When
the Greeley colony was located Dr.
Vincent was presiding elder in
northern Colorado and Wyoming, and
in this way had direct influence with
the organization of the new church.
He preached his first sermon here
Tuesday, Sept. 20. 1870.
The stewards of the church at that
time were T.. b. Annis, L. w.
Gurley, f. Rea, j. c. Shattuck, o.
w. Shattuck. G. Parker and j. s.
Scott. The trustees were j. Z.
Shattuck, E. Rea, E. b. Annis, E.
W. Gurley, J. l.. Brush, D. stans-
bury and W. II. Post.
In 1872 DIR. Vincent S term as pre-
siding elder having expired, Mr..
dams was appointed by the bishop
to sllscceed DR.. Vincent, and Rev.
r.. w. Bosworth was made pastor OF
the Greeley church.
Other pastors that have served IN
tie old building, and all OF whom
will be remembered by old members
of the organization were:
Revs. George Skene, o. l.. flshef'
w. f. Warren, S. w. Thornton, j.
II. Merritt, A. II. Lucas, W. Z.
Madison, O. j. Moore and b. L.
Vincent, who was the immediate
predecessor of the present pastor
Rev. j. A. Davis.
The old church had its struggles
with debt early as most young church
societies do, but many years ago the
mortgage upon the old building was
burned, and the new church VIII
start out practically paid Tor "lleh
il is completed. i
Last Thursday a few of the Ola
timers gathered in front OF the
huiIdiug which they had assisted
materially in erecting and had their
photographs taken together with the
i,uldipp which was about to ial
before newer age.
