OLD ROCK ISLAND DAYS,

There lived one time in Poverty fiat
A jolly improvident crew,
In red brick house and top o. that
On well known avenue.
They wore their clothes with a jaunty
air,
A difficult thing to do,
When you think of the clothes they
had to wear,
And the stormy winds that blew.
Just how to be fair to the trusting
one
Who regaled the inner man,
Caused much disquiet from month be-
gun
Till the first of the next began.
A settlement scarcely ever was made
on a duly authorized plan,
But cash in smallest amounts was
paid
In a sort of a catch as catch can.
Yet up near the roof where the swal-
lows. build
Meath a ceiling hazy and low,
Sat the old time boys of a wondrous
Who could laugh and eat their crow
For here came men who have wor
renown
To talk of affairs of state
Bohemia left her latch-string down.
While the hours of sleep must wait
When fashion beguiling sent out {
With Request your company"
Excitement reigned In the bachelor
cote
AS 10 what wen wear" you see.
For more than the chance to dance
and firt
And nutrition to surround,
Was the hiding place of the one dres'
skirt
With the first man in when found.
For he was the king of the first foo
boys.
Sent out with laughter and mirth,
Closing the door with boastful noise,
As he proudly trod the earth.
Then the others began to picture out
His part in the frolic and fun,
With never Il word OF complain
about
His fortune at being the one.
The summers have come and the win
ierS flown,
Now empty this happy nest;
q But my experience makes me own
From east to the bounding west, >,
There are few who enjoy the Others
Or will stand for another'S woe,
And the faith of their honest heart
reveal
Like the boys of the long ago.

LOSE FIRST BY
A BIC SCORE
Rock Island High School is Defeated in
Football Game at Rock
ford a. to 10.
STARTED OFF WITH RUSH
Sent Ball Over Within Four Minutes
Boys From Monmouth.

The high school football team was
given a severe defeat at the hands of
the Rockford high school Saturday in
the game at that city. The score at
the end of the game was ALTO 10.
Rock Island started off well by making
the first score within four minutes af-
ter the opening of the game, but after
that they We're helpless before the line
smashes of their opponents. The local
team was somewhat lighter than the
Rockford aggregation. and this is part
~ accountable for the score, although
on straight football the locals were
clearly outclassed. Rockford followed
line smashing tactics when they found
they could gain ground in that way
and time after time they plowed
through the local line for substantial
gains. They did not find it necessary
to resort to forward passes, and exhib-
tied little outside of regular line plays
and end runs. At times the locals
picked up courage and played Rock
ford to standstill, but these times
were few and far between.
Get the First score.
Beals made the first score possible
when he picked up fumbled ball and
ran nearly the entire length of the
field before he was pulled down within
few yards of goal. Rockford then
braced and gained possession of the
ball and punted away from the goal.
Rock Island received it within kick
ing distance, however, and Frey
dropped back and made a place kick
successfully
Rockford Immediately stiffened and
in few minutes they had scored a
touchdown, which put them in the lead,
where they remained throughout the
remainder of the game. In the second
half Rock Island scored once more,
when Beals made his second sensa-
tional play of the day and ran the
length of the field again for a touch
down. Frey kicked goal and made the
total score of the local lads 10 to the
"A that Rockford piled up in the mean
time.

in Defeating Cross
Countrys
IN MCBRIDE BENEFIT GAME
Good Crowd Turned Out to See Yes
terday's contest-O'Leary
in Lineup.

The windup of the local baseball
season took place yesterday afternoon
at the Island City ball park when the
Cross Country team bucked up against
a team composed of the leaguers who
| took part in the transforming tour of
| the Islanders reinforced by the old
time Islander, Dan O'Leary The game
was played as a benefit to Clyde Nc
Bride, whose injury while playing left
| field for the Islanders late in the sea
son had placed him on the sick list
| for long time and caused him no
little expense. The loyal rooters of
| the city turned out pretty well for
| the game and Mcbride will realize
about $50 out of the game.
| The Islanders won the game in the
| very first inning while the Cross Coun-
trys were too frightened to play their
| best game. Eight runs were scored
| before the amateurs settled down and
after that the game was close and
with the first inning cut off the game
would have been a tie. In the first
round everybody on the Islanders bat
ting list managed to come up and
three of them faced the Cross Coun-
try pitcher twice in that inning. Muir
ply drew three bagger, Howard a
double and nearly everybody else
swatted safely and eight big runs
| crossed the pan. With the game
hopelessly lost the Cross Countrys
settled down and played nice game
of ball although after the first round
the leaguers were playing with their
opponents.
Hits by Young, Miller and Thomp-
son and base on balls in the fourth
inning brought in the first half of the
Cross Countrys scores, and errors by
Howard and Eng in the ninth allowed
the other half of them.
| Christy Had 'EIm Guessing.
Christy Wilson, who relieved How
ard on the slab in the latter half of
the game, fooled with the amateurs
land had them guessing all the time.
A dozen different times he threw the
ball over the plate before they were
ready for it and they never were able
TO tell when it was coming
The game was played in remarka-

l20 minutes for the nine innings which
is considerably better than large
part of the league games which are
iplayed. The score:
