Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-06-10

Tomorrow is booster day at the Is.
land City park, a bargain double
header. The big attraction for
this particular day will be Howard
Darringer and his fast stepping
Boomers, who have been tumbled
from the league lead by margin Of
four points by Rockford. The Bloom
ers are determined to regain first
place. The Islanders are determined
to climb off the bottom and the fur is
bound to fly when the two clash.
For the first time in the history Of
the game in the tri-cities the Rock Is
land baseball association has adopted
newspaper advertising on large
scale to boost the attendance at the
local park. 1t should bring results
Favorable weather should bring a
5000 crowd to the park.
The local directors have put the
facts before the fans. So far this sea-
son the gate money has failed to pay
expenses Tomorrow will be the last
chance the people of Rock Island have
to show their sentiment before the Is
landers leave on the road Monday, 60
ing to Hannibal.
Team Going Good.
After continued and persistent ef-
forts Manager Lister has at last band
ed together combination of players
that should prove winning one. The
infeld has been bolstered up consid-
erably, as has the pitching staff With
a little encouragement the Islanders
should win first division by July T.
Jack Tighe, manager of the 1907
and 1909 championship Islanders
team and one of the best posted base
ball men in Rock Island, is fayorably
impressed with Rock Islands revamp-
ed lineup. The team had several
weak spots at the opening of the sea-
son, but these have been strengthen
ed to great extent and the club
should win the majority of its games
from now on, if the proper support is
accorded the team said Mr.. Tighe
today.
Other fans, regular followers of the
team, have also noted the improved
form shown by the Islanders and have
commented on it. The directors Of
the club have stood big losses from
bad weather, 1t is up to the fans.
