Realizing the necessity of clos
ing the present Three-Eye league
baseball season with a surplus In
the treasury to insure the success
Of an impressive drive from the
beginning Of next season, the Rock
Island Fans association will hold
q booster day at Douglas park to-
morrow with two games (for the
price OF one) between the Islanders
and Rockford as the attraction.ies
This appeal is made to every
man. woman and child in Rock Is
land who would spend 81 to aaatst
the management in putting Q pan
nant-winning team in the field next
year. Tomorrow has been chosen
because most downtown stores VIII
be closed for their regular weakly
half-holiday. Hundreds Of work
ers will be free to attend the
games.
McQuillaA to PiteA.
George McQuillan, the Islander
ace, has agreed to step out Of his
turn and pitch the second game of
the double treat. George has won
all three OF his games to date in
such fashion that 1t would be safe
to wager he can 90 through an
entire season in the Three-Eye
league without losing enough
games to be counted on the fingers
of one hand.
Hubart Dennis, the Oklahoma
fox, probably will pitch the first
game. II Dennis is appointed, IL
will be the second time he has
faced the Rox within q week, hav-
ing set the back, 81 in IL innings
last Friday in Rockford after one
Of the best exhibitions ever seen
at Kishwaukee park.
Geed Games Assured
With Dennis and McQuillan In
the points, Rock Island fans ere
assured air-tight pitching that
ranks even higher than the best in
the league. McQuillan has become
the leagues best drawing card. not
only because OF his pitching effec-
tiveness, but because Of his bat
ting. George is always in thafe to
hit safe in the pinches, and, re-
calling his three games pitched for
the Islanders to date, he is batting
among the top-notchers In the point
Of scoring runs. 5rs
While serving primarily to bring
out the bulk OF Rock Island fsu-
dom to see a ball game, Boogter
day in reality was designated ~ q
time to show the city's appreciA-
ton of untiring efforts to put n
winning ball club in the field de-
spite all the reverses that co1ld
possibly befall team in one Sea-
son. rs
An Appreciation. sr
There are many fans who realize
what a splendid showing the club
has made with a makeshift team
constantly in the field. Yesterdays
game was a good example. -Four
pitchers had to take regular play
ing positions in the field. Every
one took part in the game but Sid
Stewart. As q browning Jolt to
the club, Manager Glockson was
spiked in the hand yesterday and
will not be ready to play again I'M
til at least a week.
But, Booster day was designAted
with a look into the future, Is very
little remains to be done this year.
The team. has made an even split
in games won and lost within the
last four or five weeks. There is
a nucleus On the club that will
give Rock Island q good start next
year. With several high class play
lers in view, Booster day really will
be the first Of long chain Of daily
booster days next season, when the
club is up there fighting for the
flag. y
