Waterloo, Iowa, Aug. 2o.-CSpe-
ciaD-In spite of Dicks wildness the
champs had little trouble yesterday
afternoon in downing Waterloo to
1. Dick passed five men in the first
three innings and again became wob-
bly, in the sixth, when Manager Tighe
yanked him out and put in Couch
man, the side being retired without
damage. Waterloo hit fairly well,
but missed chances to score, while
the visitors made their few swats
count. The Islanders scored first in
the second inning when OIeary
opened with single. Slattery bunt-
ed and was safe when Better threw
too late to second and both advanc-
ed on a passed ball. Kelly was
thrown out on drive to Chapman,
but Snyder hit for two sacks, O'Leary
and Slattery. scoring.
Callahan opened the third with a
single and took third when Chapman
made a wild heave to first. David
son singled, scoring Callahan. Man
usch sacrificed Davey to second but
O'Leary few out to Fremer and Stat
terry grounded to Better.
Callahan Drives One In.
Vogel reached first on Chapman's
error in the seventh and Couchman
sacrificed. Callahan singled to CEN
ter, Vogel scoring. Callahan took
second on the throw in and advanced
to third on an error by Chapman.
Davidson flew out to Wilkes and

FATS COME BACK;
LEANS damned

Plant That Nobody Loves

Next Month.
And the Fats came back again.

And the Fats came back again.
In the annual ball game for the ben
eft of the Associated Charities between
the corpulent ball tossers of Rock Is
land and the skinny" men, played at
Island City park yesterday afternoon,
the Fats were easy winners by q score
of II to IL. However, the losers have
the satisfaction Of having cut down
the score and made the game a more
even and more exciting one than In
previous years. They have one fine
excuse for their defeat of this year. at
that. Four decisions by the now no
torious umpire, Pug" Cavet, aided the
winners in obtaining several scores
and kept the poor losers from getting
a few scores. Even the Fat players
admit that some of the decisions were
raw, to say the least. The thin men
say that they would not care so much
If the umpire had been a man OF more
rotund appearance, but TO have a thin
man rub it in sort OF made them pee
wish"
Upon one occasion Krebs, of the Fats
team knocked a foul-every one but
the umpire called it such-along tho
left field line and by the umpire's de-
cision he was credited with a two-bag-
ger. Only one run came in on it, but
it took the ginger out OF the little men
and they were unable to get even.
Fntten Batting Averages.
At that the Leans really had It on
their opponents. securing 10 hits to IA
for the Fats and breaking even in the
error column. Manuel and Keely each
secured four hits out of six chances.
The real feature Of the game was the
home run by Mellow. In the second,
with one man on base, he hit into left
field, the ball rolling TO the fence. He
completed the circuit on the hit and
only a close decision at the plate gave
him the honor .of home run.
John Carse, in right field for the
Fats, played a safe game. taking no
chances Whatever of making errors.
When a ball was knocked TO him he
stood on the line Of its path and OF
course a little object like a ball could
not pass him. Canedy pitched for the
first six innings for the Fats. He
struck out three men in the first In
ming after three hits and two runs had
been made. G. II. Sheldon at first and
]. F. Witter IN left field, for the Fats,
were the pinch hitters OF the team.
Each secured several nice hits scoring
runs each time
Then Came Cries of Robbery.
Upon one occasion Manuel struck out,
or rather was called out on strikes by
the umpire. Canedy was in the box for
the Fats. He made a ball1, pure and
simple, going through the motion OF
throwing to the batter He stopped
about half way through his windup and
held on 20 the ball. While the Leans
were arguing the point he slipped n
strike over the plate and Cavet called
Manuel out.
An attempt to describe how the runs
were made would exhaust the English
vocabulary, slang included, and tho
box score Of the game is given with
due apology TO all players. The score:
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-08-20

Tomorrow there will be a double
header at Rock Island, one being
regularly scheduled with Dubuque,
ance for the season. Monday the
Islanders open in the southern end
of the circuit for the last time, play
ing at Bloomington. Aug. 81 the
northern clubs have their only off
day, when they jump back for the
last time.
Springfield got out 1,400 at the
booster day doings Thursday, which
wasn't so many, in view of the fact
that the Commercial club took hold of
it and worked all the wires among
the business men and elsewhere to get
everybody possible out. Kinsella says
the loss of attendance is due to the
coal strike the average laboring man
not having money enough to patroniL~
ball games.
The three Darringer brothers, now
with Dubuque and Davenport, and For
rest Moore and Mike Simon, all well
know in the Three-Eye circuit, were all
raised in the town of Hayden, Ind, and
played baseball together on the pas
lures there until they graduated to the
Three-Eye. Simon's father was a Ger
man section hand and was killed in a
saloon fight a few years ago.
Pitcher Shaner. purchased from
Wichita, is expected to join Waterloo
=
given notice of recall of Outfielder
Reidy, but he will stay with Waterloo
till the end of the season. Waterloo
has recalled Bob Clemmons, obtained
from Cedar Rapids last year, and
farmed this season to Superior.
Owing to poor attendance at Spring
field the games scheduled there with
Davenport on Aug. % is to be played
at Decatur. AS Decatur is almost GER
tain to secure a Three-Eye franchise
next season, it was thought that the
fans there would turn out numerously
to witness two teams play from that
league.
Owner Kinsella Of Springfield got

Danville has traded Outfielder Sui
livan and $500 for Outfielder Kay

Monmouth. Kaylor reports at once
and Siner at the end of the season.
Kaylor will take Sullivan's place and
Siner will likely replace Magee,

BURN WASTE
MATERIAL OF
HOUSEHOLD

A WOMAN who lives in the country
will fnd she can save a great
many pennies by regulating household
trash. ashes, etc. Trash. for Instance
Is an expense In the country. because
the householder in number Of cases
pays for having 1t carried away;
therefore her economy comes in hav-
ing inhammable stun burned on. the
premises. And as dry trash is easily
three-fourths Of the refuse she saves
just that much on carriage.
To hold trash there should be a bar
rel and firm mandate issued by tfie
head of the house that old tins, bottles
and everything nonburnable be put in
to 1t. In another barrel papers. rags.
etc, that usually fill the household
scrap basket must be placed.
One particular spot on the place
should be reserved for the holocaust,
It viii be black and unsightly spot.
and for that rSason a retired nook
should be chosen II there is none the
drive may be used, for after the fire
is out the gravel may be raked over,
~ Al q udy OF Two dli tidCcS ~ eiiC AAAF
are obliterated.
AS for the ashes. unless they are
very coarse they make excellent walks
in the country. 1t Is best to have them
sifted first, as some may be burned
later, thus reducing the coal bin. Those
left are cinders that will pack down
hard and smooth and save buying
gravel for walks and drives. In this
way a whole walk may be made of
ashes with thin top layer of gravel.
This is a tip for persons building coun-
try homes on limited incomes They,
as none others. know that the financial
demands of the grounds are endless,
and this Is one way in which money
may be saved. II one does not re-
quife ashes for the grounds there are
always country roads in need Of re-
pair, where they may be put. Select
men have no objection to this, If the
ashes are properly placed. and many q
dollar may be saved.
