runs added to the lead which the Dis
tillers already Dragged of. Jacobs hit
TO left and Cook drove one out to the
back fence that allowed the runner
ahead of him to score, although he him
self was compelled to stop at second.
Meyers was out at first, but the play
put Cook on third and he scored when
Moore poled into left center for a pair
of cushions. That made seven scores
for the visitors.
The Islanders owed their lone score
20 HIT by ManUsch. With one down
in the eighth, Callahan accepted free
transportation and Davidson hunted
him on second. Manusch made the
necessary bingle and Cal came home.
1t looked as though there might be
something more doing when Slattery
singled, but OLeary put a crimp in
this chance by popping a foul TO the
first baseman. The score:

NOTES OF THE GAME

Kelly played a great game at third
Roy Snyder left last evening fol
Bloomington TO gather together his
effects and remove them to Rock Is
land.
Snyder. the new Islander short
stop, got an ovation when he came tC
bat.
Davenport is kicking on Umpire
Eckman, who has been the prodigal' S
good friend all through the season,
even to the extent of scouting for
new players.
Rowan set quite a record for num-
Der of putouts at first base. He had
an even score. Smith at short, Moore
at second and Cook at pitch got
most of the assists.
Peoria didn't have many men !ect
on the bases because nearly everyone
who got there managed to score. Only
two of the visitors Il hits failed to
count in the score column.
The mighty Senators, with their
| long record of victories, come to-
morrow for a series of four games
in three days, the extra game being
tomorrow.
Johnson was credited with a two
base hit that gave Peoria the first
score, which was clearly outside the
foul line in left field. However, Ban
non does not very often miss them
this way.
Kelly played third base yesterday
like he did in his best days last year.
He grabbed everything that came in
firCt in
style. When Kelly is right he can't
be beaten as a third sacker.
Snyder had a bad day at short in
his first game with the Islanders, but
everyone knows what Roy can do and
when it is considered that it was the
first time in six years that he was
not playing with the Bloomington
club, reason will be found for his
apparent nervousness.
The moving of the infield in with
q man on third and one down in
hopes of intercepting the squeeze
play cost Rock Island four runs yes
terday on two f1uke hits that would
have been caught had the team been
playing in their proper places. This
system doubtless is good baseball, as
it is followed everywhere. but it is
a gamblers chance, at that.
The Islanders were hitting the ball
pretty hard at that, for it took a
number of sensational plays to keep
them from getting on base oftener
and chasing several more men
around the bags. Manusch was rob-
bed of a double in the fourth when
Meyers stabbed his liner over third.
base. Kelly lost a hit in the ninth
when Johnson made a sensational
catch in left field, nd Vogel was rob-
bed in the seventh when his speedy
grounder took bound which gu

The champions fell easily before Peoria
yesterday afternoon for a count of :
TO l. Except in the eighth inning the
Islanders never succeeded in getting
more than one man on base and
therein lay the secret of the game
Peoria, on the other hand, was up and
coming all the time and rarely an in
ming passed but one or two men
managed TO reach the initial sack.
Frank Lakaff opened the game in the
box for the Islanders, but the visitors
evinced such decided liking for his
benders that he had to be sent to
cover in the fifth. Queisser took his
place, but with scarcely any more sue
cess. 1t was simply a case of the
visitors having their batting clothes
sewed on them and in addition they
had Dame Fortune all to themselves.
Drive LakaT from Mound.
Peoria scored its first run in the sec
ond inning on a pair of hits, one of
which was for two sacks. Johnson was
the lucky one on the two-saCker. He
hit one down the third base line that
everyone would have sworn was foul,
but Umpire Bannon called il fair. and
the fans have learned to put cOnsid-
cradle faith in the decisions of the big
fellow, although there is reason to be
Heve that on this occasion his eyes
failed him. At any rate. johnson went

Smith hit to right field. They then at
tempted a double steal, and although
Smith was nipped, Johnson reached
home by close margin. The real car
mage, however, came in the fifth

Belgian KInx in America.

Albert, who succeeds Leopold on the Bel
gian throne, visited the United States In
1898, and spent some time IN the north
west studying the railway development In
that part OF the country. But before he
went west, he stopped off in some of the
eastern cities. In Boston he devoted one
whole day to Harvard, watched the crew
squads in Hemenway, surveyed the diners
in Memorial, and made a tour of the dorml-
tories. An incident Of his visit is recalled
by a Harvard man, who tells the story In
the New York Post as follows:
Il was living in one Of the big barnlike
rooms I'm old %Stoughton hall that year,
with a roommate from Illinois. One morn
ing just as we were starting for a lecture
the presidents secretary came to the door
and asked II we had any objection to the
Crown Prince Of Belgium visiting our room.
We looked at each other, grinncd, and de-
clared that we had not. He will be here
In about twenty minutes, then, returned
the secretary.
I'VE gave up all idea Of attending lee
lures, and turned in to set things in shape
for the royal visit. We wouldn't acknowi-
edge that we were exactly tickled, but II
isn't every day that prospective European
sovereigns make morning calls on Ameri-
can college students, and some prepare
lions had TO be made. For instance, we
had 10 send out a hurry call for the 'goody'
10 make our beds, Everything was in
shape, though. ten minutes before the
prince appeared, and we sat around doing
nothing, and trying to look unconoerned.
FINALLY there came a knock on the door
and President Eliot pushed Il open and en-
tered. Young gentlemen, this is the
Crown Prince Of Belgium he remarked as
he stepped into the middle Of the room. The
prince, a tall. pale-faced. angular, and
rather awkward youth-he was only about
% then-followed him in, An army Off
Ger In uniform and a court physician tTai!ed
along behind. The prince held his silk
hat stiffly In one hand and stepped for

ure to see your quarters, and IL is very
good of you 10 admit us
