AUCUSTANA WINS
FROM SCHOOLNIN
COlIegians Annex Three Tallies While
AndersOn's Men Are Blanked in
Practice Game,
(BY BOB OLMSTED).

The first baseball game for the sea-
| son for the Rock Island high school
team took place yesterday afternoon
at the Augustana college campus,
where the younger lads were taken in
to camp by the score of 8 to 0. The
game was largely in the nature of a
practice and neither side displayed
any unusual ability.
The game started on slowly and the
first inning closed with no points for
either side. The high school was up
to bat first and three men were
famed out by Augie's crack pitcher,
Johnson, before the only hitter had
made second base. Ed Taber, pitcher
for the locals, had a somewhat similar
experience with the college batters.
The first tally was made in the sec
ond inning by Augustana and from
this time on the game began to pro-
coed with a little more speed The
high school men showed up well at
the bat and frequently made third
base, but were never able to reach the
home plate.
For the college, Johnson, Lundberg,
Larson and Bloomberg were the star
men, the last three making the points
and Johnson showing up well as
pitcher. Kendall at first base was
also sure man and stopped several Of
the high school men who attempted to
pass him.
For the high school, Ed Taber and
Dempsey played the best games.

ISLANDERS GOING
TO ROCKFORD FOR
SEASON OPENING
Listers Men to Be on Road at Least a
Week, Delaying Start Here to
May 2 TO 8.
PLOwS AND BLUE SOX AT HOME
Schedule Committee Passes on Chart
Which Is Mailed to Tearney for
Release In Few Days.

The schedule committee of the
Three-Eye league, DR.. Eli Bradford,
Rock Island; James T. Hayes, Daven-
port, and Lee R. Blackman, Moline.
met last night at the Blackhawk hotel
in Davenport and passed a final o. X.
on the chart for the coming season
after a. few minor changes had been
made The schedule was mailed to
President A. r. Tearney at Chicago
and probably will be released within
the next few days through the press
associations Members of the commit
tee were mum today when asked about
the plans for the season, but dope
sters have the following lineup for the
opening game. Wednesday, April %:
Rock Island at Rockford.
Quincy at Moline.
Peoria at Davenport.
Bloomington at Hannibal
II this dope Is correct it means that
Rock Island Will not open at home
until six days or one week later, prob
ably May or g. 1t is said that the
schedule has been so arranged as to
have Moline and Davenport on the
road during the season while Rock
Island Is playing at home, with few
exceptions The chart was drawn up
by Frank Landers of Rockford, vet
eran schedule maker.
Locals Play Tomorrow.
The last opportunity local fans will
have 10 see the Islanders in action on
the home lot before the season opens
will be on Saturday, when Moline
comes here. Tomorrow afternoon at
three bells Listers men will meet the
Plow boys at the Moline ball yard
Both managers now have practically
decided upon their lineups and a fast
game is sure to result. Lister is plan
ming to use Billy Neal and George
Beck on the mound, while Hughes
probably will use Selby or Nelson.
Sargent's hand is still bothering him
and Kolls may be seen at short. Sta
ley will be seen at the first base, as
Champene is troubled with charley
horse and a bad cold.
The Lineups.
Following is the probable lineup
and batting order of the two rivals
for tomorrow:

Chicago, April 19.-With only two
victories out of six games played. the
wandering Cubs returned last night
to home and fireside confident that
better days are dawning. Rain pre-
vented yesterdays game in ST. Louis,
and Manager Higgins was accommo-
dating enough to call off the contest
early, giving the Bruins an early start
for the final lap.
Now we will begin the real race.
said Manager Tinker on the jolly
| trip home. What We have missed
more than anything else of late has
been morning practice, which has ae-
| counted for the weak front We have
put up at the plate. Tomorrow we
will start our first morning work, and
with the long stay at home watch
out for US.
There is absC lutely nothing wrong
with the team, although the boys are
just beginning TO get together III

provement in ST. Louis and our pitch
ers are working fine. There is reaily
not a weak member on stan, ana
Safer. Zimmerman and couple OF
others getting their batting eye we
will soon be in the thick Of the fray.

Dick Staley, tonsorial artist of

ed for practice last week, but so far
has only been in his uni on one oc-
casion, when he went in as pinch hit
ter against Rock Island last Saturday.
In the meantime Champene is making
a great showing at first base. Rum
ors have it that if Dick does not get in
the running pretty soon, Champene
will beat him to it.
