cult yesterday. Davenport, by defeat
ing Peoria in the second game Of the I
series. Jumped into the initial position
while Dubuque jumped back a notch
into second pOsisn. Peoria took a
hop. step and jump anC landed snugly
on the fifth round of the ladder. The
Distillers now have the undisputed
honor OF being the leaders of the sec
ond squad Like its predecessor the
matinee yestcrd-y was free from cS
element. A faiat-hearted old lady
could have watched TIE contest and
been perfectly safe from stoppage OF
the pumps. Ab-a, the only time the
fans raised their frames from the hard
boards was to sec what became of
Reeds fly to right in TIE eighth which
was nabbed by Smith, the one mitt

REED GOOD.
Reed has been showing up like new
money in his territory during the last
few days and the said player palled
off n couple niCkc plated stunts yes
terday that deserve comment. The
manner in Nhich he gathered up Nc
Cormick's . ,tler In the eighth would
put some OF the big town boys to
blinking If they could have witnessed
the set.
The OK put in their order for the
victory in the first round. Reed, the
initial rcsidenter, after taking q slant
ut Alberts' twisters. refused to bite
and was allowed 20 meander slowly IL
the direction Of the first station after
the said Alberts had attempted four
times to find the dish. He was pro

and registered a brace OF runs that
was sufficient = CiuCh the battle To
