SENATORS BILLED
FOR DOUBLEHEADER
VIII Clash Twice With Islanders Next
Thursday to Make Up for Tie
Game.

The Islanders and Springfield will
clash in a double header at Island
City park Thursday afternoon in or
der to make up for the tie game
played by the two aggregations here
Juno +. On that date Bob Couch
man and Grover Laudermilk opposed
each other and pitched such effective
bail that neither team could get a
man over the plate in nine long ex-
citing innings and the game went
down in history as no game and will
have to be played over again. The
double header on Thursday means
that the Islanders and the Senators
viii play four games during the ser
les and there will be a fight indeed
as the home team realizes what a
good opportunity to bring the leaders
down from their high perch.

Bloomington took the fourth and
last game from the Islander cham
pions yesterday afternoon by a score
of to and by so doing managed
TO break even on the series, having
copied the first and last. Bob Couch
man was on the mound and although
he struck out 10 of the visitors. he
allowed enough timely biugles TO
cinch the game and keep the Island
ers out of the running. Harry Kel-
ley, the Islander third sacker. also
figured strongly in the result, as his
error in the third led directly to
three runs, while again in the eighth

hit.
Humes did the twirling for Dad

effective, allowing but six hits, four

Islanders score First
The champions made one score

doing it. Callahan struck out. but
Davidson hit TO left field and went
to second on Manusch's OUT at first

he waited while Slartery accepted

a passed ball by Nunamaker allowed
him to score the last of the Island
erS' runs. Davidson had a chance to
bring in a couple of men in this in
ming, as Couchman was on third a>d
Callahan on second, both men having
their bases as gifts from the pitcher,
but Davy had already made two hits,
and the third refused to come.
How boomers Scored.
The Boomers tied up the count
in the second inning in much the
same manner that Rock Island had
made its first score. With one down,
Melchoir hit and stole second and
then ROudebush grounded to NOgel,
who could not get the ball to first
in time to get the visiting second
sacker. MelchOir and Roudebush eX-
ecuted the double steal in approved
style and the former scored.
In the next inning enough runs
were annexed to win. Humes drove
one to Kelly, which was too fast to
be handled, and Goodwin laid one
down that moved the runner to sec
ond. Snyder struck out, but Long
poled one TO left and there were two
men on the bags. Then with two
down Nunamaker grounded to Kelly,
who booted the ball, and Hume3
scored. MelchOir drew a walk and
filed the bases, and ROUdebuSh
brought the first two runners over
the rubber with a hit to center
CoOmbs ended the inning with his
second StrikeOut. The last run of
the Bloomington aggregation came in
the eighth inning. Long hit one on
the end of the bat and it flew slowly
towards short. Kelly ran over and
made a jump for it, which discon-
certed Kohl, who could have fielded
it easily otherwise. and the ball went
for a hit. Nunamaker flew 10 left.
but MelchOir drove one out in the
groove that was good for three sacks
and Long crossed the plate with the
final run. The score:

SNYDER BOUGHT
Bloomington Shortstop Be-

Deal Yesterday.

sitiOn of Kohl Problem.

Roy Snyder, the Bloomington
shortstop, failed to accompany his
team when they left this morning for
Dubuque. Instead he remained here
in Rock Island as a member Of the
Islander team and he was billed TO
play his first game as an Islander
this afternoon. The addition of Sny-
der to the team ought to prove an
advantage for "Heinie" is a corkins

IN the league. As a hitter he is To.
the equal of Eddie Kohl whose place
he Will take but in fielding he is
gem. He and Otto Vogel worked
side by side I'm Bloomington four
years ago and they proved the sensa~
ton of the league as far as fielding
goes. They set a record for double
plays and worked so we'll together
that they became known as a sort of
team in themselves. Snyder has been
at Bloomington for six years. He
tried hard to get away at the open
ing Of this season, Offering TO pur-
chase his own release but he was
too good a man TO let go and his re-
quest was refused. His only reason
for getting away was that he wanted
to get into a new field as he felt
that he was becoming a fixture on
the Bloomington team. Otto VoCcl
is exceedingly glad over the return OF
his old teammate and the fans may
expect some new life to be shown in
the infield.
Kohl Now Problem.
The disposition Of Eddie Kohl now
seems TO be a problem although not
a word has been received from the
management as to what will be done.
Kohl, while not a wonderful short
stop is clever hitter and base run
ner and there seems to be a chance
that he may be put into the outheld
as that was his regular position up
until last year when he was moved
to second base. Eddie hits we'll and
throws well and covers considerable
ground and there seems to be no in
tention Of letting him go because OF
the acquisition of Snyder.

CATS" says Dr. Fisher AS a matter
of fact they do almost no good and a
great deal of harm. The difficulty in
following the question of the extent
to which they carry disease is meas
ured by the difficulty of following the
cat. And yet there is no doubt in the
world that many a child who, for no
apparent reason and from no discern
ible cause, develops case OF diph-
iberia or scarlet fever owes its illness
and often it's death to the cat 1t has
been fondling. Moreover. cats are as
susceptible to hydrophobia as dogs.

they do, both as destroyers and as
spreaders of disease. In this cOnnec-
ton the cat has been pointed out as
a valuable aid in keeping down the

It can state from my personal OBJ

plishing anything OF the sort, eight
heavily armed guards ride to and fro
with the seven millions.
And this extra precaution is due to
the change in the system of making
money. Until recently the money was
printed at the bureau of engraving
and printing, but sent to the treasury
minus the seal and the number, SO that
it was not real money until handled
in the treasury.
Now one machine does all the work,
including the stamping of the seal and

stamped in blue-are what make bills
legal tender. Hence when the money
passes through the wonderful cutting

bills out in lots of 100 after 1t is

COMETIMES it does US good to rem

us to remark that SO years ago, the
British forces burned the capitol.
There were about 5000 in number
landed from the British vessels on
the Patuxent August 20, and on the
oath they reached the capital There
were only about 5000 men available
for defense of Washington in the
American army, and they only had II
pieces Of artillery. So when the Brit
Ish made their raid on Washington, al
though they were met with splendid
resistance, the American army was
compelled to retreat, and the red
coats made a triumphant entry into
Washington and began to carry out
the threat of the commanding inva-

set fire to the capitol, the White
House and other public buildings. It
was at this time that Dolly Madison
cut the famous portrait of Washing
ton from its frame, where 1t stood in
the great east room of the White
house, and, rolling it up, had 1t cart
ed away with the few effects which
she was able to remove from the
White House. The British descrip-
ton of what went on in the capital
at that time is as follows:
THE blazing houses, ships and
stores, the report of exploding maya
zines and the crash Of falling roofs
was one Of the finest sights to be con-
ceived The sky was brilliantly IL
Illuminated by the confagration. The
scene was as striking and sublime as
the burning of st. Sebastian's. To-
ward morning violent storm of rain,
accompanied by thunder and light
ming, came on, whose flashes seemed
to vie in brilliancy with the flames
which burst from the roofs of burning
houses, while the thunder drowned
the noise of falling walls and was
only interrupted by the occasional
roar of cannon and of large deposits
of gunpowder as they exploded, one
by one" But we don't look much like
