GAMES TOMORROW.
Rock Island at Peoria.
Decatur at Davenport.
Cedar Rapids at Bloomington.
Springfield at Dubuque.

The Commodores played like tailend
ers yesterday and fell easy victims to
the Islanders. In the beginning Syfert
failed untterly to locate the plate. For
that reason the home team with one
hit in the second made four runs. Near
the close, in the eighth, to be exact,
Bittrolff, who had had everybody bit
| ing on those underhanded outs. was
solved and three clean hits with a
couple of errors and a base on balls re-
suited in four more Lakaff kept the
visitors feeling for his twisters
throughout and they scored on a lucky
hit.
Hoffer was badly off on balls and
strikes though he did not favor one
side more than another. But Manager
Lewee, when he saw the game slipping
away in the second began to kick and
kept it up till he was benched. O'Con-
nor was put at second and Pierce call
ed behind the bat. A moment later
Syfert was succeeded by Bittrolff
After the second the visitors quit fight
ing for the game, showing up especially
poorly at bat and on bases. O'Connor
while he was working hard all the
way, was the chief offender in the err
ror column.
Everybody Came Up.
Everybody batted around in the sec
Ond Syfert started the trouble by
passing Rudd who was thrown out at
second on a grounder by Cook. For
ney and Lakaff were passed also, and
Swalms hit brought in two runs. Car
Isle was hit by pitched ball and Wan
ner was given transportation. Kohl
popped up, but Walters walked, forcing
another run, and then retired the side
when thrown out at second on Rudd's
grounder, Decatur getting the benefit
of the doubt on the decision. There
were men on base in all but the fifth
inning for Rock Island. In the seventh
after Kohl had struck out. Walters hit
out a three Dagger to the left corner of
the lot and was driven in by Rudd with
a pretty drive. Bittrolff then filled up
the bases by walking Forney and hit
ting Lakaff but Swain flew out. Car
Isle started the eighth with a walk,
Wanner got down on an error and then
three singles in succession by Walters
Rudd and Cook and an error by O'Con-
nor, put four more across.
Hit Was Peculiar.
Decatur counted on freak hit in the
sixth. Pierce, with two gone, put the
ball over Carlisle's head for two sacks
and Swacina got life on Cooks error
SwatS started to steal second and
Wanner ran to cover the sack just as
Purtell drove an easy grounder down
exactly where the second baseman had
been standing. The result was a score. |
The next man flew out. The only fea- |
ture approaching the spectacular was
the catch by Fleming of Swalm's short |
fly with three ON base and two out in |
the seventh. Fleming misjudged the |
ball at first and did not start after it al |
once. When he perceived where il |
would alight he made a desperate |
sprint and picked it out of the grass |

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Yesterday and
today President Roosevelt has been
buster than he has been for 2long
time. He not only kept his cabinet in
session. for three hours yesterday: but
he finished the 2dictation Of his special
message to congress on the lsthmian
canal: In the evening at 8 o clock he
had an appointment with Secretary
to 9en ba o
merce and labor, and it was midnight
before he got to- bed. e. IS + -..1}3}E
The Panama message will be special
and will go to congress at about the
beginning. goflthe second week of the
session. It Will be of considerable
length, for the president deems it Of
the highest Importance to let the coun-
try know Just what he saw while away
and what his impressions are, for he
will clinch his message with certain
recommendations and he desires that
the country should see the need for
them as clearly as he does.
In the main, it may be said that the
president was satisfied with what he
saw on the isthmus. He comes back to-
Washington even more enthusiastically;
devoted to this great engineering en-i
terprise than, before, it this 1ssposslble.i
Plans for Porto Rico - s
Porto Rico is also to be the. subject
submitted before the holiday. recess.
The; president returns home convinced
that the Porto Ricans ought to be Amer
lean citizens, and that congress ought
to legislate = to-, that end.3 He does. not,
argue for a territorial status for the,
people Of the island, much less for.
statehood, but he insists that inasmuch
as the Porto Ricans are in fact Amer
lean citizens, and fully under the pro,
formally clothed with citizenship
The need of; this action for the pro-
lection of&$Porto Ricans travelling
abroad is very easily seen. The island
itself is wonderfully prosperous and its
people contented, so far as material af-
fairs are concerned. -. ,.,''" - -

ders providing for dismissal Of certain
negro troops from the army. ~.
These rumors are without foundations.
Secretary Taft has made no such rec
concentrations and is not thinking of
doing SO. The president has nothing

cepting this: That if any new evil

president will make his own deduc-
tions. AS to Japan, nothing is to be
done at the White House until after
the opening Of congress, and perhaps
not then. Japan was not touched on
last night in the interview the presi-
dent had with Secretary Metealf, nor
days cabinet meeting.
There are reasons for believing that
Japan is satisfied with what the gen
eral government has been doing to
correct the situation existing in San

ter further. -
Should this prove to be the Japanese
attitude. the incident will be closed by
a statement which Secretary Root will
make to the japanese ambassador, in
writing.
