THREE EYE GOSSIP
DANvmLn LOOKS GOOD.

They all look good when they're
winning" is an old saying in base
ball, but at that, Danville looks more
formidable right now than either Du-
buque or Davenport. The addition of
Graham has added much strength to
the team, as his batting aud fielding
and his speed on bases is going to win
many close game. A whole lot worse
players are bought every year by the
majors for big money.-Quincy Her

HAcKETT,s REVENGE.

The National Board of Arbitration
has allowed Player Rimington's claim
against the Quincy club. According
to Tom Hackett, Remington signed a
contract with him and was permitted
to practice with the Quincy team at
his own expense. When Hackett re,
leased him, he got sore and demanded
certain amount as expense money
during the training season, but the
claim was fought at Hackett's advice. II
is thought that Hackett furnished Rim.
after he returned to Stockton and that
on the strength of this the board al,
| lowed the claim.-Quincy Herald.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Jimmie Sullivan, the esteemed arbi-
ter, told good one on Art Queisser
before the game. Some msons ago,
the Senator backstop, who was then
playing with Danville, had an off day,
and was messing things considerably.
You're grabbing EN- the way l did
my last season" said the umpire.
Listen to me, Sully," quoth Queis-
ser, as he puffed out his chest. I'm
what you would call a finished ball
player"
Koepping made his usual sensational
play in the fifth inning of the second
game. Lotion hit low liner between
first and second which looked like
an old base knock. The Elgin coined
ian put on high speed and speared the
apple with one mitt, after a hard run.
The Senators were unable to score
Inc the second inning of the second,
in spite OF the fact that three success.
sive singles were registered. After
Middleton had died, Wheeler, Queis

FIRST GAME.

Belts, who is a moist ball finger,
had a try-out with Joe Tinker last
spring. but failed to hook on. He was
grabbed by the Senators a few days
ago. and 1t is safe to predict that he
will never set the world on fire. II
listened as though Roddy Hendrix was
due for a beating in the initial tilt,
when the entire opposition batted
around in the second stanza. Mid
dletpn survived when Reed heaved
wild to the first sack and scored on
Wheeler's two-cushion clout TO the left
field fence. Queisser hunted Wheeler
TO third. and a tally was registered
on Baird's single. Burgwald singled
sending Baird to third. Belts ripped
of a single to right, scoring Baird
Lotion was hit in the Stats. Schroeder
hit clearly to center and Burgwald FL

BY PAUL BRuNER.

A select gathering Of bugs and bug
gettes was agreeably surprised yes
terday afternoon, when the Blue Sox
upset the prevailing dope and denied
the Springfield aggregation for two
victories. After the Senatorial crew
had apparently tucked the first bout
safely away in their bat bags by bunch
ing hits for a quartet of runs IN the
second inning, a certain Mr.. Belts
assembled in the fourth inning after
successive walks had filed the bases.
Carrigan knotted the count with a
sterling bingle to right field. Lelivelt
attempted to assume the life-saving
role, but varied and assorted miscues
handed the game to the Pretzels. Don
nelly sent Betsy right back in the sec
ond, but timely swats put the after
piece on ice in short order The re-
spective scores were S-4 and SO. BY
the double win, the Sox jumped into
