Saturdays Game Was
Pretty Contest Between
Higgins and CaVet

bloomington, III, June z0.-Satur-
days game was as pretty a contest as
one would wish to see. with CaTet and
Higgins fighting hard all the way. So
evenly were they matched that the
teams might have been playing yet,
had II not been for two errors by Sny-
der and one by Staten, which, coming
at the right time, enabled the Island
erS to shove three runs across in as
many innings. Bloomington had many
chances to score, Manager keenan,
having no less than three oppOrtuni-
ties to bring men in, but failing in
each case Score

The Northern association is blowing
up.
Hot weather appears to have been
what Rock Island needed. Davenport
might show up better in the Arctic
league
Davenport is believed to have set a
league record, possibly a record in or
ganized baseball, by losing nine
straight games in seven days.
The reason Fridays game was
called in the 18th with the score
tied was that the Islanders had to
get away to catch an interurban and
make connections for Bloomington,
where they played next day.
Dick. Kinsella is planning a new cir
cult for the Three-Eye league to be

idea, If Kinsella does advance it.
While Davenport and Peoria were
playing Saturday fire broke out in the
back field fence. This is hard to ex-

Bloomington, ia, June 20 (Spec-
aD-Superior all around work and
the ability to deliver hits when they
were needed gave the Islanders two
games here yesterday, the first by a
score of 6 to 4 and the second 2
to 1. By the double victory Rock
Island stepped into second place,
while by losing Bloomington fell to
for one of the largest aggregation
of bugs that has attended a ball
game here this year.
In the pitching department the
two teams battled with little advan-
tage on either side, though the Wis
iting twirlers pulled out of the holes
with the greater success.
Paul Davidson, purchased last
week from Hartford, arrived in time
to get into the game, succeeding
Hunter in left field.
Virtually Won in Third.
In the first game Rock Island vir-
tualIy won in the third inning. Cal
lahan's Texas Lacquer went for a
but MeIchoir dropped the throw and
the runner was safe. Manusch hit
safely to center and Callahan scor-
ed. SIattery hunted and was out
and O'Leary's grounder to MelchOir
was fumbled but OLeary was caught
at first. Kelly's hit scored Manusch.
Humes walked VOgel to open the
fourth and he was advanced to
score on Callahan's hit. Manusch s
hit scored Callahan. The fifth saw
more fireworks when O'Leary hit to
the dump for three bags and scored
on KohTs tap to Staten, the return
failing to catch O'Leary at the plate.
Bloomington scored the first run in
the second inning on Nunamaker's
pass. a wild pitch which let him to
second, Diebolt's tap which forced
Mummy at third, Staten's double to
left which let Die5olt to third and Sny-
der's bunt for the squeeze which sent
Diebolt home
Humes was hit in the fifth and hen
Erwin and Melchior poled triples to
center which scored two men. Keenan,
was passed but Nunamaker could not
deliver. In the eighth Staten, Humes
and Long singled in succession, the
former scoring.
Fine Work by Callahan.
The ninth gave the fans some hope
when Nunamaker singled and DiebOlt
walked. Staten drove the ball to the
dump for what looked like a sure
triple Callahan by wonderful sprint
managed to reach the ball by the tips
of his fingers and held it, the effort

At first it was announced that the
election for an official charter COM
mission would be called without any
delay or jockeying by the city coun-
Gil, but now the information comes
out that the council will take its
own time in granting the request.
The charter election committee
has asked that the election be
called within 80 days, but the coun-
Gil does not propose. it appears, to
get in near so great hurry
AT present the petition for the
election, which cantains over 5000
names. is in the hands of City Clerk
Fleming for verification as to the
legality of the signers. The state
law, under which the petition was
filed, says that it must be signed by
25 per cent of the qualified voters.
and now the question has arisen,
how is the city clerk to determine
who are qualified voters.
If the required qualifications is
based on the fact that voter is
registered, as some say that the

city clerk may hold. then the petit
ton will likely fail of the required
number of signatures. But under
the state law definition OF qualified
voters is anyone who is entitled by
American citizenship, age and resi-
dence to register at the city hall is
entitled to sign the petition. and on
this finding the committee says it
has 1900 names more than the re-
CURED number.
There is also talk of burying the
petition in the council committee of
the whole, should it pass muster
with the city clerk. in which case
the only recourse for the charter
election committee would be a re-
election committee would be re
course to the courts to compel the
council to act If necessary. the
committee will take this step.
AT all events, it begins to appear
as if the people are not to get tC

commission plan of government
