Ihere is an ola motto which init
mates that all Of the people cant be
fooled all the time, at least, not twice
In the same place. Frank Donnelly,
the stage director OF the Springfield
baseball troupe, evidently has never
been wised up TO that saying and just
because a certain twirler named
Schroeder held the Sox hitless in five
and a fraction innings the other day,
the impressario OF the visiting COM
pany played him for place yesterday.
Schroeder placed. all right. but it hap
pened TO be in the second money de-
partment. for the home boys ham
mered the white headed moundist for
nine safe ones and the game. The
final returns we're Davenport, 3:

The browning feature Of the day
was the fact that old Mr. Sunshine,
who has been on an extended soiourn
az points far remote, became home
sick yesterday afternoon, and packing
his grip, paid his hotel bill and came
back to Davenport Said sunshine re-
manned In the ball lot during the en-

unison: Welcome Little Stranger"

Jesse James" Barnes, the intrepid
and dauntless outlaw, who foresook
the wild and untrammeled prairie
spaces at Circleville. Kan, in order to
mingle with the Norfolk-suited tender
foot and the effete east, was the head
liner on the bill. What is more he
opened and closed the bill Barnes
donated three passes TO first and IN
order TO properly impress his rival,
Schroeder, that this smoke talk was
no josh, sunk a swift one into the
Springfield slab artists side. How.
ever, he held the visitors TO three
lone hits. very much segregated, and
pitched a mighty satisfactory game
throughout. Perhaps the reason
Springfield lost was because Count
alias "Tacks" Delave was informed
that his services were not required
for the afternoon. Delave warmed
the bench and had but little TO say.
