FOR BUNS
Ten "Moochers" Have Been Ar
rested and Sentenced to
Jail This Week.
ARE NUMEROUS IN THE CITY
Magistrate Smith Is Extending No
Mercy to Them-Maggie Murray
Goes to County Prison.

During the past week Rock Island
has become veritable mecca for pro
fessional beggers Of the "moocher"
class, men who hang around the streets
until they can get some one 10 give
them a nickle or a dime and then
promptly head for the nearest saloon
to get some booze and free lunch.
Prior to today about half a dozen of
this class had been sent to the coun-
ty Jail and today three more were
added to the total for the week. To-
days offenders were Ed Carlson,
Charles Smith and Robert Mcdonald.
Carlson confessed he had not done
any work for a month past and init
mated that he had lived entirely on
money begged from people in the
streets. He also admitted that he was
drunk yesterday. The other two made
practically the same admissions and
each was given 30-day sentence in
the county Jail. The main objection
to this class of beggars is that
they become insulting when refused
aims. and get drunk and disorderly
when the money is given them.
WOMAN ON PERIODICAL.
Maggie Murray is back in the coun-
ty jail again, this time under the
name of Mrs. Margaret Peters, which
she claims is her other name" Ac
cording to the testimony of two po-
licemen, Maggie was on one of her
periodical sprees yesterday with the
usual results. Numerous calls were
sent in to the police station to the eff
feet that she was wandering about
the main part of the city in a drunk
en- condition. Three officers arrested
her and conveyed her from the Bur
lington depot on Twentieth street to
the police station. The use of the
patrol was necessary, as she refused
TO walk. When arraigned before the
police magistrate this morning, she
gave his honor 2 tongue flashing and
upbraided him for having sent her to

COUNTY IN A CAIN
ON CORPORATIONS
Judge w. H. Gest Sustains De-
murrer to Petitions Filed
by Tax Fighters.
ASSESSMENTS ON STOCK
Next Move Will Probably Be Appeal
to Higher Court-Injunctions
Still in Effect

Judge ". H. Gest rendered a deci-
sion in the circuit court this morning
which has direct bearing on the
bills for injunction to prevent the col
lection OF the corporation stock tax
by the county treasurer. The dect-
sion sustained a demurrer TO the Pc
titions of the Peoples Power com
pany, and makes an amendment or an
appeal TO the appellate court neces-
sary in order to carry the fight any
further. Attorney W R Moore, rep
resenting the state. demurred TO the
petitions asking for Injunction on the
grounds that they were insufficient
The bill and demurrer were filed sew
eral months ago and were taken I'M

sustaining of the demurrer is a vic
tory for the county inasmuch as it
indicates that should the original Pc
tition come before him for settlement,
Judge Gest will rule that the tax must

NEXT MOVE AWAITED.
This leaves the corporations with
one Of three courses TO follow. They
can amend their bill and start the
action all over again, or take an ap-
peal TO the appellate court on the rul-
ing on the demurrer. or lastly, give
UP the battle and pay the tax. The
first course is the one most likely to
be followed and the latter is the least
likely.

Dropped From Pitching Staff
by Manager Carney.

This morning Manager Bill Carney
dropped two of his pitchers. Marshall
Comingor and L. H. Hofer being CIV
en- blue tickets. Hofer is a youngster
with lots of promise, but Carney feels
that his team must have pitchers who
possess something besides good
prospects. The youngster came here
from Iowa upon the recommends
ton of Belden Hill, former manager
of the Cedar Rapids club. Comingor
did not look good to Carney and for
that reason he was separated from
his meal ticket. COmingor came
quite Unexpectedly and was not in
shape when he arrived and he has
not showed the manager yet that he
has the goods. The staff looks pref
ty good now. 1t consists of Lakaff
and Humes, southpaws, QueisseT,
Dellar and Whiteside, right handlers,
and Bill Carney himself when occa-
sion requires.

TEAMS SWITCHED
ABOUT IN PAIR S
Schedule for Three Eye Avoids
Rock Island Davenport
Conflicts.
WE MOVE WITH DUBUQUE
Have Two Holiday Games With That
City as Result-Are Eleven
Doubleheaders.

The Three-Eye league schedule, which
appears on this page. provides for lao
games to be played in 1S1 days. There
are only two off days, necessitating
each team playing IL double-headers.
The schedule was drawn up by VIII
son Boring of Decatur with the idea of
avoiding all conflicts in dates at Dav-
export and Rock Island, and therefore.
the teams are moved in pairs, although
in the latter part the pairs are so ar
ranged that it almost like the regular
quartet schedule.
By this system all long series are
avoided, and with three exceptions the
longest series is II games and the
most are six or eight games. In q
general way the teams are home
week and away a week. Double-head
ers will be played by all teams on the
three holidays, for which the schedule
provides as follows:
Decoration day-Waterloo at Daven-
port, Rock Island at Dubuque, Spring
field at Peoria, and Danville at Quincy.
Fourth of July-Davenport at Water
loo, Dubuque at Rock Island, Quincy at
DlhNlllC, anu SOl Ia OF
Labor day-Rock Island at Daven-
port, Waterloo at Dubuque, Danville at
Peoria, and Springfield at Quincy.
SUNDAYS DIVIDED.
The arrangement is such that the
Sundays are equally divided, but cities
having two holidays only have nine
Sundays, while those having one holi-
dav have 10 SUNDAYS
The closing date is Sept. II, and the
cities having the opening-Rock Island.
Dubuque, Danville and Quincy-close
away from home, and, therefore, Wa
terloo, Davenport, Peoria and Spring
field have the closing games.
The mileage, in a general way, is
about the same as last year. possibly
a little more because of the substitu-
ton of Quincy, which lies farther from
the other cities than Bloomington.
which it succeeds. The mileage ranges
from $500 miles to 1890 miles, Dan
vile and Waterloo, the outside cities,
having 1850 and 1870 miles, respect

WATERLOO TAKES
SATURDAY. GAME;
FINAL COUNT 4 TO 2

Saturdays contest with Waterloo
went by the boards by a count of 4
to 2. Lakaff was on the mound for
Rock Island, but the big fellow was
not as effective as usual and Water
loo managed to bump him for nine
hits which aided by five errors netted
four runs. Collins, first of the Wis
itors to bat, opened with a home run
on the third ball pitched. The drive
was a liner on which both ClyGes
and Stevens came in but it slipped
past them Two hits and as many
Ors two more runs. Vogel and Stat
terry were the offenders and Harring-
ton and Pitcher Schackleford did the
hitting. The final count of the visit
ors was made in the ninth and was
the result of timely hit by Shackle
ford, scoring Dickey from second
base.
A batting rally in the eighth in
ming gave the Islanders their two
scores and made il look for a minute
as though they were going to win
out despite the early lead taken by
the visitors. Clynes led with a hit
and Stevens chased him home with
double. Slattery's out at first moved
Steve to third and Kelly's hit brought
in another run. Kelly was nipped
stealing second and Snyder's hit
which followed had no effect The
box score:

NOTES OF THE GAME

Dill Carney batted for Snyder IN
the ninth inning and had it not been
for a sensational catch by Long, he
would have started something lii
long fly TO right center was tagged
for two bases.
The team leaves shortly after
this evening for Danville to open the
invasion of the south. The game
which was scheduled for today was
played off yesterday. so that the team
could rest up. today and get away
on time tonight.
Hunters hitting eye had cover
over it yesterday in the second game
and in the eighth inning Humes went
in to bat for him. Humes reached
first On Wilkes error, but there the
rally was nipped for Clynes and Ste
vens secumbed and after Slattery had
hit safely Kelly ended the inning.

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR NEW STAND
Committee of Baseball Club TO Start
Soliciting Tomorrow Ready
Response Is Expected.

There is every reason to believe
that before the month is out, Island
City ball park will be graced with
an addition to its seating facilities
that will be a credit to the park and
to the city Tomorrow morning the
committee which is to solicit funds
for a new stand will start it's work
and the sentiment is such that the
members ought to meet with a hearty
and ready response. Everywhere
there has been shown a desire to ex-
tend aid to the club owners who
suffered through the recent fire at
the ball park and if the well wishes
are turned into coin, a fine new stand
will be the result. An effort will
be made to have the new stand built
in time for the first holiday game in
Rock Island. This means that those
who are solicited for aid and who
desire to extend it will have to be
prompt in making their contribu-
lions.

er Clearly there would have been no
opportunity to score in the second.
In the fourth two men were down
again when the trouble started.
Wolfe again led the assault by roll
ing a slow one over second just out
of reach of both Snyder and Vogel,
who were handicapped in getting to
it by the heavy coating of mud which
covered the infield. Then came three
of the scratchiest, stingiest, dopiest
hits on record and two men scored
as a result. After the fourth in
ming, however, the visitors had no
chance with the "Old Fox" as he
had them under his control all the
time. The tabulated score:

Yesterdays doubleheader between
the Islanders and Waterloo resulted
in an even break, the locals taking
the first game by a score of s to 4
and the second one going to the Wis
itors to o. "OId Fox" Bill Carney
pitched the first game himself and
got away with it in fine style. Al
though the hit column looms up
large against him, he really pitched
excellent ball, for fully two-thirds
of the visitors safeties were dumpy,
lucky hits off the handle of the bat
and dropping over the infielders and
just out of reach of the outfielders.
There were not three good hard
smashes among the entire II. Bill
was there some with the club, also,
as his two dandy wallops testify. His
first was a liner into right field and
his second was a two-base drive into
left field.
HITS BRING RUNS.
The first game was. something of
a smuggling contest for the Islanders
and they succeeded in punching their
hits so that they resulted in runs.
Four were made in the first inning
right of the reel. Vogel led with
a walk and Hunter hit. Clynes fol
lowed suit and VogeI scored. Stevens
sacrificed, moving Hunter to third
and Jack to second. Slattery was hit
by a pitched ball and the circuit was
filed. Kelly singled and Hunter and
Clynes registered. Then Kelly and
Stats tried a double steal and Har-
ry. although getting caught, delayed
his death long enough for Stats to
score the fourth run of the round.
In the sixth Slattery and Kelly sin
gled in succession and were moved
along by Snyder's sacrifice. A wild
pitch then allowed Stats to tally. In
the seventh, after Carney was out,
the game was cinched by the addi-
ton of three more runs. Vogel
scratched a hit, Hunter walked and
Clynes hit, scoring Otto. With the
infield drawn in and men on second
and third Stevens poked one at
Wilkes and the visiting shortstop let
it get through him. and Hunter and
Clynes counted

HENDRICKS is WHITEWASHED.
Dollar twirled the second game for
Carney's crew and although he al
lowed but five hits, they were bunch
ed enough to give the visitors the
victory. Hendricks heaved for Frank
Boyle's team and pitched alright
ball. He was steady at all times and
although there were several occa-
sions towards the end of the con-
test when it looked as though the
Islanders had him going, he managed
to put on the breaks each time and
get away without a tally being made
off him. Wallis homer in the first
inning was about the only real feat
ure of the game with the exception
of a couple of brilliant catches by
Kelly and Clynes of the locals and
Collins of the visitors. The latter
was the real hero of the day, for
without his services in centerfield
Hendricks could never have gotten
away with the long end of the con-
test. Collins pulled down drives
that were tabled for two and three
bases. He made seven putouts dur
ing the contest and it is safe to say
that ordinary fielding would have
seen five of them go for safeties.
FOURTH HOME RUN.
This year has seen the home run
swatters have their inning at Island
City park and more of the four-base
wallops have been made already than
there were during the whole of last
season that is as far as the local park
is concerned. In the first inning of
the second game Wall third baseman
for the visitors. pushed the sphere
over the left field fence for homer
and Collins, who was on the bases
al the time, of course, scored ahead
of him. That gave the visitors two
of their runs. The homer was the
fourth on the local grounds in five
days and three of the four cleared
the fence. The third of the visitors
runs was made in the sixth inning
and without the aid of a hit Wall
and Clemens walked and Fremer
hunted to Dellar. Phil fielded the
ball cleanly. but threw to the wrong
place and all three men were safe.
Wilkes followed with a ny TO center
and Wall scored after Stevens had
caught the BAH
COLLINS sPOILS CHANCE.
1t looked in the sixth as though
things up. but at this stage of the
game Collins got in some of his work.
Three singles put three men on with
two outs and Kelly hit the ball an
awful blow and apparently had it
tabled for a double between right
and center. 1t was out OF Longs
reach, but Collins managed TO get 10
