Bacon returned yesterday from the
race meeting at Oskaloosa, Iowa.
He was told by horsemen that 1856
harness horses was a larger entry

EVERY minute,
SAYS MANAGER
Only Three Pitchers In Shape. But
They Are willing 20 Per-
form Every Day.

"You can tell the Rock Island |
fans that I've got ball club that
is in there working every minute
of the time" was Manager George
McQuillan's greeting upon his re-
turn to the city yesterday. Every
man is giving me his level best and
then some. l never hope to have
a more willing bunch OF Rlayers
under my wing.
we ran into a flock OF tough
breaks on the road. The pitchers
had to work without sufficient rest
and naturally the other club had
the advantage. But the more they
were needed the more anxious they
were to work.
i've only got three pitchers in
shape now, because Frank Smith
went on the injured list at Peoria,
but they are three who are willing
to go in every day and labor, If
need be. Ross, Ambrose and MIL
Ter will carry the burden for the
next several days. A young pitch
er by the name of Mackey is to join
the club Tuesday. The fans viii
remember Mackey was given try
out by Moline during the spring.
He was cut loose and returned to
his home in Peoria. / have every
reason to believe he can deliver.
THE report from Bloomington
about Bill Cole was misleading.
Bill dislocated a couple of ribs in
| taking a healthy swing at the ball
and this caused him lot OF pain.
They were not fractured, as report
ed. but the doctor advised a rest or
several days. L expect to have Bill

shape. / may have to have it lane
ed to relieve the swelling, but ex-
pect to be back in shape before

be on deck ready for relief duty IN
the meantime.
THE rest of the club is fit and
full OF fight. This long stay a
home is going to pull US up the ole
ladder again. We're only few

ring before p. N.
The management positively an
nounces that Jack Dempsey will get
in from Jersey City in time to han
die the main bout The other con-
tests will be handled by e. w. Dick
erson of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Leonard, who arrived here
Thursday night, worked out Friday
and Saturday at Fftzsimmons' ball
park, were almost unanimous III the
belief that Leonard hasn't reached
the condition he will need against
Freedman.
Despite his apparent lack of con-
dition, betting odds favor the cham
pion to win by knockout. Leonard
has not fought since he defeated
Rocky Kansas at Harrison, y. j.,
winning in II rounds. Freedman s
last fight was with Johnny Dundee,
whom he held TO draw in 10
rounds at East Chicago.

tfI1aSisele;rI

In Lefty Ross, George McQuiiIan
believes he has the best sOuthpaw
harier in the league. Ross is due
soon to shake the hard luck iinx
that has been camping on his trail
practically since the season began
and then watch him go. He is a
youngster with an abundance Of
nerve, plenty of stun and a good
noodle.
Some fans point to Ross record
to date and shake their heads. Their
ideas about his worth have been
acquired from perusal OF box
scores with no knowledge of the
effort he is putting forth for the
club. Consider that most OF Lefty
defeats this season have been by
the brief margin of one run.
He's n gluten for work. Chances
are he doesn't know what the word
shirk means. For Instance, al
Bloomington: Ross pitched i
mighty tough game in the first Of
the series and came back two days
| later to Manager George with per-
sOnal request TO go in against tht
| DunEmen again. He hurried tnf
second game OF the dGubie-header
bat lost & TO ). Given sufhcien
rest, there is little doubt he cOuis
have mastered the tribe of Dunn.
A cast-iron nerve is one of Ross
best attributes. An incident OF tn
first series with Moline at Brown
ing field is recalled. The Islander
lost the first game and the PloE
fans gave the locals the merr
faZZ. Ross was mad and offered t
cover any amount that he coul
beat the Plowboys the folloWin
day. He was letting himself in 10
lot Of iibing if he didn't deliver
Remember what he did. He let Ell
down with three hits, only one {
them a clean smash, but lost to
1t was really a victory for til
youngster because Moline fan
knew they were lucky. Ross neVe
goes into a game without hOnestl
believing he has it on the other cluI

and still go into the 21st confideI
