! Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 6.-Playing be-

of the worst grounds encountered on

took ample toll yesterday afternoon
for the humping at Marlin by defeat
ing the Giants, 10 to Z. There were
enough hits to go around, 10 being
garne:ed off Mathewson and Hearne.
Some ribald comments on the abil-
ity of the two teams were heard in the
bleachers, but, considering the con-
ditions under which the players labor
ed, the game was better than the
average. Much work had been, ex-
pended to make a diamond out of
waste of sand within the old fair
grounds, but the balls proved erratic
and the air worse as the high sky
knocked scientific calculations of the
outfielders galley west.
The mob, who travelled the some five
miles or so to the ball grounds, looked
heap much big league, but the most
welcome thing was the weather, which
was perfect for both ball players and
spectators. AS 1t has not rained here
for something like IA months, the
players found the field well dried out.
but the sand acted as If it had turned
to ashes.
The fact that Jim Scott. who once
received $1,000 here for pitching one
game, and Christy Mathewson hal
been announced to pitch, proved the
drawing card. Both are great favor
ties here and along the border as
each had fling at the wheel of for
tune in the desert country. Mathew
son found that his arm was not In
condition after the first inning, four
hits being good for three rams. the
trio leading to the exit for Matty.
Hearne took up the job and was
stung for plenty, four hits in the sec
ond crowding two tallies over the
plate. He went along swimmingly I'M
til the seventh, when earth and sky
met in a chaos of seven hits and five
runs. He got out of the eighth with
only two hits.
SCOTT GOES GOOD.
Scott looked good, but was stung
for enough at that, the lonc hits
charged up against him being princi-
pally due to the glazing light OF the
desert outfeld Thus Merkle earned
A triple, as did Thorpe. On an ordi-

Engagement.

The Olympic-Independent titulal
clash of Nov. 16 will be staged on
Browning field. The above decision
was reached last night after tele
phonic conference between Managers
Roche and Adolphson.
Captain kuehl and a number of the
Olympic players were willing to play
the game at Island City park, which
boasts a better gridiron than Moline
ever possessed in the history of the
municipality, and can accommodate
twice the crowd which the Moline park
is capable of handling.
Manager Adolphson, however, threw
monkey wrench in the mechanism
and advanced the startling argument
that the Moline fans would not come
down to Rock Island a second time.
He further vouchsafed the information
that two years ago there were 5000
paid admissions at a Moline high
school game although he refrained
from designating the particular con-
test
The matter has been hanging fire
ever since Sunday. but the Olympics
assembled last evening and put the
matter to a vote, the result of which
was given to Manager Roche.
OPEN DATE
Manager Roche yesterday morning
communicated with the Columbus
Junction football team and cancelled
the game scheduled for Sunday at
Island City park A defeat of the
Columbus aggregation would not boost
the claim to the state title, and rather
than take a chance of Gripping some
of his men in a minor contest, it was
deemed advisable to call the stuff off,
so as to have every man on the squad
in the pink of condition for the Olym-
pic engagement.
The Moline Dispatch of last evening
stated that the Independents had can
celled the game scheduled with the
Illini club at Browning field for next
Sunday. The writer has evidently
been misinformed, as a return engage
ment with the Illini was never agreed
upon.

Illini asked Roche for a return game
ext Sunday, but was informed that
Columbus Junction had the date. He

Roche told Mulera that the r. /. |
men would undoubtedly veto the prop |
but that he would place the |
natter before them. Monday evening |
he Illini manager called up Roche |
