ROCK ISLAND IS
FORTUNATE IN
CLUB PERSONNEL

The Rock Island Baseball club
is made up OF 20 representative
business and professional men, and
the reason that this city has been
faithful in good and bad weather and
under all circumstances is to be found
in the personnel of thoses identified
with the association. This city, while
always the smallest city in the Three
Eye circuit. except when Clinton was
a member, has never been al the bot
tom in attendance-in fact, has always
ranked we'll toward the top.
The presidents of the Rock Island
association have been j. F. Munger,
II. e. Casteel, M. II. Sexton, Jesse
Spencer. w. A. Rosenfield. and f. o.
NanGalder.

presence, as they all came in the gate
way.
Geneseo treated the visitors royalty,
meeting them at the depot with band
and taking them 10 the park in auto
mobiles.
Sadgwick, who twirled for GeneseO,
is the possessor of a mighty puzzling
delivery and one that might be of use
to him in faster company some day if
he develops it, He made seven of the
future champs of the Three-Eye league
swat nothing but air three times, and
|if he had been able to control his
throws better more of them might
have gone the same route. When he
put them over, however, as a general
rule they were biffed on the nose, as
the II hits piled up by the Islanders
will bear witness.
The trip to Geneseo was greatly en-
| joyed by those who made it, and 1t
was worth considerable to the Henry
county city to find out that Rock Is
Hand is interested in them TO such an
extent that nearly hundred fans
would accompany the team to aid in
the opening of their season. About
half of the local fans stayed in Gen
eseo for supper and came down or
one of the many trains in the early
| evening. Geneseo was not hurt at thu
outcome of the game, as they expected
little more at the hands of team il
a class with Rock Island. So ever.
one enjoyed the day.
When the train drew in at the Rocl
Island station Division Superintendent
Greenough, who came on it from tn
west, at once had special coach at
tached for the accommodation of the
Islanders.

Necessary Charity
Relation Of Unarity to Wage Earn
ings Considered by WASH
ington Aids.

Washington, d. c., April 10.
Statistics of the relation of
charity relief to wage earnings
based on the cases of several
thousand persons who sought
relief in this city, are made to
tell an interesting social prob
lem story in a bulletin just pre-
pared by the Bureau Of Labor.
Sickness, lack of employment
insufficient wages, accident and
old age constituted 81 per cent
of the direct causes of appeal
for help, the three first causes,
in the order given, being the
cause of the most appeals.
The figures reveal the fact
that in the 1888 families stud
led, consisting of 1865 persons,
the average size of the families
was 81 persons, as against 40
persons for all families in
Washington. The number of
children was 300 per cent of
the charity population, as COM
pared with 1873 per cent for the
total population of the city. De-
linquencies were reported in
one-third of those Delinquent
cies being intemperance.
