ROCK ISLAND HIGH
IN TEAM FIELDING
Leads Three-Eye League for Month
of MAY, According to Official
Figures.

In the official fielding averages for
the Three-Eye league for May print
ed on this page it will be seen that
Rock Island, Bloomington and De-
catur are tied for first place with an
average of 963. In reality Rock Is
land is first, having had the greater
number of chances. 1t is evident
that clean fielding has had much to
do with maintaining the Islanders
near the top, while the fact that
Bloomington has not shown up bet
ter early in the season is deeper
mystery than ever.
Rock Island players stand first in
three departments, Murphy leading
the center fielders, Stark the first
basemen and Kelley, the third base
men. Eng is third among the
catchefs.
Springfield has the majority of the
winning pitchers, which is to be ex-
pected in view of the small number
of games that team lost in May.

Errors Bunched In First.
Too many errors on the part of Rock
Island, and failure to hit the ball when
Tits meant runs, was the reason for
losing the first game of the double at
traction. The game was a tie at the
end of the ninth, each side having
scored a single tally. In their half IF
the 10th, Bloomington took advan-
tage of two errors by Berger and a
wild heave by Kelley, and with three
hits, scored four runs which made the
game appear hopelessly lost. 1t was
rot quite so, however, as the Islanders
came back in their last trial and three
scores were run over the rubber before
the third man was retired. Vogel hit
safely and Jacobson who was put in to
bat for Neal, did likewise Murph
drove them both home with a three
sacker to right field. Berger secured
a pass and it began to look as though
the game would yet be saved This
was vain hope, for Roger who had
been doing the heavy work for Bloom
ington, was sent to the bench and
steen was trotted out to try his luck
which was considerably better than
that of his predecessor, as he made
Mclean roll an easy one to Cutshaw and
then caught Berger mapping at second

ECHO OF BUNCH FAILURE.
Rock Island Employee at Little
Rock Designs.

Little Rock.-The resignation OF
H. E. Cunningham, local freight
agent for the Rock Island system In
Little Rock, has been offered to the
general superintendent. The impress
sion among those who know the
facts is that Cunningham has been
made a scapegoat. The resignation
and the cause leading up to 1t are
interviewer with the Bunch failure.
The Rock Island system paid, be-
cause of the failure, 100000. which
was represented by bills of lading
held by the Little Rock banks. Ow-
ing to the large volume of his busi-
ness and the high esteem in which
he was held as a business man and
the bond, the railroads would allow
Bunch to reship the cars without
surrendering the bills of lading, and
loans were thereafter made on these
bills of lading. When the failure
occurred the banks held bills OF lad
ing which covered no actual COM
modify, but amounted only to a
claim against the railroads and moth
ing else.
