Claiming that because of mal-treat-
ment administered him at the hands
of Henry Pasvogel and John

he has suffered irreparable loss to
his health, Frank Huppertz has in
stituted a suit in the district court

cations set forth by the plaintiff are
to the effect that on this date the
two defendants came to his house

ing a blood vessel, destroying the
sight OF one eye, injuring his wife
and daughters, the latter of whom

SATURDAY To BE
TICHE DAY HERE
Rock Island Fans to Honor Big
Manager in Rousing Turn
Out at Park.
MARK OF APPRECIATION
Davenport Will Be Ithe Opposing
Team in the Game-DoubIe
Header Tomorrow.

Next Saturday is to be celebrated at
Island City park as Jack Tighe Day
and 1t is hoped that every real baseball
fan in the city will turn out to do honor
to the man who has so successfully
piloted the Rock Island team during
the past four years. ALI honor is due
to the big manager for the showing
that the team has made this year and
had it not been for a breech in the in
field which took several months to fill
satisfactorily, he would have accom-
plished what few if any managers have
ever done-won three pennants in a
space of four years. AS it was he has
won two and that is a record to be
envied.
The idea of the baseball association
and those who are behind the plans for
Jack Tighe Day" is to have the fans
get out to the park as a mark of re-
spect for the Islander leader. Dubuque
recently celebrated a "Faber Day. in
honor of the red-headed youngster
who held Davenport hitless and who
was sold into the major leagues on the
strength of his performance
Should BE Big Attendance.
Although the Miners had been en-
joying very poor attendance up to that
time, the fans turned out nobly in
honor of the young twirler and there
is no reason why crowd of 5000
should not do the same in Rock Island.
In addition to it being Jack Tighe
Day. there will be the added attrac-
ton of having the Prodigals from
Davenport for opponents in next to the
last game of the season. 1t will be the

TAYLOR RIDGE HAS
THREE BALL GAMES
Home Nine Arranges Field Day and
Is Defeated Twice-Sherrard
Comes Out on Top.

There was a field day at Taylor
Ridge Saturday, with three bail games
and foot race as the features. The
affair was arranged by members Of the
Taylor Ridge ball club and took place
on the diamond north of the village.
In the morning the Sherrard Unions
defeated the Taylor Ridge team 7 to q.
Then Marion took whirl at the Ridge
boys and downed them by a count Of
Z to 4. In the afternoon Sherrard
trimmed Marston II to 3. In the foot
race, 100 yards. Dick Glazier, who
pitched both games for Taylor Ridge,
won, with Ernie Murdoch second. The
field day drew a crowd of 200.

Two Games Tomorrow;
Peoria VS. Rock Island
RADIATED FROM THE DIAMOND

contests with the Senators. Springfield
has in several respects made a rec
ord never before equaled in the
Three-Eye. Getting a running start
of 10 straight victories, the club
has been at the head of the percen-
tage column all season. No other
team has ever been within striking
distance of the top, a condition of
affairs which, while it has detracted
from the interest in the race and
the attendance has suffered in con-
sequence, is unprecedented in this
circuit. Rock Island is closer to
Springfield now than any other club
has been during the season, and yet
the Senators, if they continue their
clip, will finish the year with a high
er percentage than any other club
in the history of the league. Rock
Island closed in 1907 with .652,
which was the highest point attained
by any pennant winner.

ing one of the best played contests
ever pulled off at Silvis. The black
