NOTES OF THE GAME

The islander infeld played like a
new team yesterday.
Wooley had a couple of hits again
and one of them was for two sacks.
Hill made a good catch in the third
when he pulled down Woods fly ball.
Vogers hobbies followed hard
chances and did not effect the score
any.
That eighth inning put the game
in the right place but it was an awful
exhibition of ball.
Slattery had IS putouts at first,
which is some record. Only one out
was scored in the field.
Snyder and Kelly played a nice
game in the field and each had a hit
out of three chances.
Jacobsen was behind the bat again
and though he dropped the ball that
allowed Quincy to score, he played
a nice game.
That catch of Hartmann in the
eighth inning looked almost impos-
sible and required some feet work.
Another of Kelly's bat in the third
was pulled down by Kerwin.
Woods pitched a good game and
would have had shutout had Jacob
sen held the ball which was fielded
perfectly to him by Ciynes, when the
runner had gallOped from second
base To score on a short hit.
The team leaves tonight for Dan

for the sale of Joe Slattery To that
team. but no defiuitet agreement haL

Knsella Menace to Three-Eye League

Waterloo Reporter: r. F. Kin
sella, who was thwarted in his at
tempt to disrupt the Three-Eye
league last winter and spring, Is
again on the job. The dare devil
is the only thing that stands between
the Iowa, Illinois and Indiana circuit
and prosperity. With the possible
exception of Decatur, all the cities
| In the league are drawing better
right now than at any time in the
/ last two years. And now comes Kin
seIla with a statement to the press
! that he thinks it advisable to wind
up the affairs of the league immed-
! lately and save money He jour
neyed yesterday to Rock Island and
| Davenport but found little sympa-
/ thy with his wrecking scheme. The
| Three-Eye league has come to stay
/ despite Kinsella and all his tribe,
and Jim Hayes and NJ. H Sexton so
| informed the disturber.
Dick Kinsella has been RESPONSE
| bic for every rumpus that ever orig
mated and cost the Waterloo base
ball association a trif1e over 5000
| when he started the movement to
GUST this city. This sum, raised to
team, all trtckled into the pockets
of Chicago barristers and assisted in
maintenance of Cook county courts.
When the season opened the local
association was up against it. No
players could be purchased and so
the 1911 team started out with but
little improvement over the 1910 ag-
gregation. The Waterloo fans fully
acquainted with conditions have
stood nobIy by the association and,
although it has by reason of the liti-
CATION, suffered severer financial re
verses than any other club, no NUT
terings ever emanated from these
parts as to the REIMBURSEMENT of our
franchise.
For the good OF the Three-Eye
league KinselIa should go. II he
sticks by his word, which same is not
likely, and throws his team on the
league Aug. s, a transfer will be ar
ranged to Bloomington, Springfield
or some other city and the trouble
maker eliminated from the league
councils. But far be il from Dick
to do such a thing. Waterloo fans
well remember his statement to the
Chicago press: 81 would sooner 90 to
Jail than play my ball team in Water
loo" Well, Dick didn't go to Jail
and his ball team played in Water
loo. So on Aug. 8 Kinsella wilt still
own his franchise and will continue
in the league. But just the same
there are thousands OF Three-Eye
supporters who will hope that for
once the dare devil sticks TO his
promise.
