CASE PRESENTED
TO JOHN MURRIN
IN APPRECIATION

Just a token of appreciation"
was the way the employees of the
city water works who were gath
cred informally at the home of
George Etzel, 1929 Eleventh street,
last evening. expressed themselves
when they presented Commission
er John Murrin with a handsome
silver spectacle case.
About 25 employees were pre-
sent and Commissioner Murrin was
so overcome at the generosity
shown that he was unable for the
first time in his life, as he express
ed it today, to respond with a
toast He, however, managed to
recover his poise in time to ex-
press his thanks for the splendid
gift. The case is suitably en-
graved: From the city employees. -

REPORT BRANCH
LIBRARY PLANS
Director ]. d. Welch Tells Board
Arrangements Have Pract-
caIly Been Made.
TO BE NEW FEATURE IN CITY
Many Volumes VIII Be Placed in
Proposed School and in Sta
ton on South Side.

Arrangements have practically
been completed assuring Rock Is
land of its first branch library.
At the meeting of the Rock Is
land public library board last night
Director ]. w. WEIGH reported that
he and Director H. P. Simpson
had taken up with the school
board, the matter of establishing
a branch library in the proposed
new school building on Eighteenth
avenue and Thirty-third street and
had made satisfactory arrange
ments
The branch library will be on the
first floor of the building, in the
northeast corner, a room 80 by IA
feet. A librarian will be placed in
charge and as many volumes as
possible will be placed on the
shelves. 1t is planned to also open
a branch in South Rock Island, the
exact location for this one not as
yet having been determined.
The branch Libraries will be a
new feature for Rock Island. The
library has school libraries for the
pupils, but the branch to be install
ed in the Eighteenth avenue build
ing Will be for the general public
and there will be a librarian on
hand to take care of the wants of
the patrons. There is every indi-
cation that the new plan will meet
with a warm reception on the part
of the public and it will have the
effect of placing many volumes of
literature in neighborhoods remote
from the main building.
Miss Ellen Gale, the librarian,
gave her annual report last night
which was approved and ordered to
be sent to the city council for &C
ceptance. The book committee pre-
'Sented a list of books, recommend
ing their purchase. They will be
secured and placed for distribu-
tion Immediately.
Bills for the month amounted to
$S43.05, as reported by the finance

Torpedo Boat Bush Brings
Hub Team and It's Rooters
Here.

The baseball team of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard defeated the diamond rep
resentatives OF the Boston Navy Yard,
. to 0. yesterday afternoon in an excit-
ing game at Ebbets Field in the pres
ence of 5000 partisans of the contest
ants. AS a result of the victory the
Broollyns now hold the navy yard cham
pionship of the Atlantic coast, having
won two out of three games from their
rivals.
The victory OF the Brool<lyns was due
chiefly to the pitching of Charlie Lenny,
who held the Bostous to two scattered
hits both of which singularly enough
We're registered by Anderson, the tall
pitcher of the visitors. Anderson drove
out double in. the fifth frame, but as
two were out at the time and Harkins
was snuffed at first for the third out, the
double went to waste.
Anderson got single in the eighth
with but one out, still Harkins and
Doherty were unable to advance him.
In addition to holding the Bostons to
two safeties Lenny famed eight of the
visitors, did not give base on balls, but
hit four batsmen.
Lenny Gets support.
Lenny received sharp support from his
teamma'es5 especially from Harold
White, the eighteen-year-old catcher
who deports himself like Ray Schalk.
Fennell at short and Bier at first also
did effective work in holding the Bos-
tons runless John T. McGlone, an
old time professional. who has been in
the navy yard for years and is mana
ger of the ball team, donned the span
giles yesterday and coached from third
base.
Brooklyn got the first RIM In tbo
second on singles by Becker and Caten-
nacci. the latter's steal of second and
O'Connor's wild throw in an effort to
prevent the steal The second run came
: in the ifth as the result of Biers
double to left, Roche's bad throw that
let the runner to third and Whites
single. After that the Brooklyns failed
TO get anywhere near the plate. An
; derson pitching air tight ball.
Come Here on Torpedo Boat.
The Bostons, who came 10 New York
on the torpedo boat Bush bringing a
! large crowd of rooters with them. got
men on bases in nearly every inning
