Not So Pussy Over Here.
Rock Island has never seen tit to
make such q fuss, even when we won
seasons. We did not go into paroxysms
because we defeated Davenport on
their home grounds Saturday and Sun
day, the latter game being before the
biggest crowd that ever wedged itself
into a ThreeEye league park We
knew our victories We're placing the
game in Davenport in jeopardy, and
we felt like the naval commander when
he said, Don't cheer, boys" etc.
In the same spirit nobody
on this side of the river took
exception to the rulings of President
Sexton which gave Davenport the
morning game. 1t was raining just as
hard in the fourth inning as in the
seventh. and there was just as much
justification for calling the game a
one time as at another. The contest
having gone along four innings in The
rain, Manager Tighe is not to be
blamed for asking that it go the res
of the way. However. either manager
had a perfect right to ask that the
game be stopped after the fourth, ant
| if Manager Shaffer feared to trust hi:
team beyond the seventh and chose t
avail himself of the technicality, it.:
