Board Meets.
The Rock Island county fuel board
held a meeting this afternoon ut the
Rock Island club to make more rules
for coal saving. Opening and closing
times for various places of business
are being discussed and some new de-
cision may be made. The board seems
to favor the 8 o'clock opening and
80 closing law that Is in effect IN
! many cities and probably will en-
force the order here.
Street car congestion is continually
growing worse and by having the late
opening and early closing hours this
could be relieved.
Davenport retailers, owing to the
| fact that the Rock Island merchanta
have not agreed to open later and
close earlier have abolished the Law
| in Davenport and will open and cless
as they see fit, but will be closed on
Mondays.

All the public cared to know
about an individuals record in
those days was how often he was
put out and how many runs he
made. Some scorers in 1865 made
it III. L and r." Hands lost and
runs
To modern eyes this game looks
like q terrific batting bee. But upon
the page in the old scrapbook fac
ing the one containing the report
Of that game there 10 an Article
from the Philadelphia Item and
Visitor of January 13, 1865, citing a
review of the season of 1865, written
for the New York Sunday Mercury
by Henry Chadwick ("The Father
Of Baseball"). 1t gives many scores
as high or higher. Among other
things we read: "On the last day
of October a splendid display of
batting was made by the Athletics
at WilliamspOrt. Pa, in a game
with the Alert Club, the score be-
ing 162 to 1.-THE largest score on
record."-T. A. D.
