No one will dispute that Frank Don
nelly has got together a fast baseball
team to represent Springfield this sea
son. He is paying the fancy salariei
of the league. But he has not been
able to aecure men who are infalli
ble on the proposition of erring.
They hare their had days ju-t like
their seven little brother clubs in the
circuit.
Yesterday was one of them. It all
happened in the seventh inning. The
Politicians were having a walkawax
until that period in the game. Then
eame the rattles, with a mixture of
rowdyism injected by Tacks Latimer,
the eccentric backstop who wore a
Bock Island uniform for a short
while last year.
Tacks is known to hare at

tried it yesterday, but the umpire

liases and easily would have been
rotten. Hut Ijitimer could not pass
ip tin- opportunity to practice his
famous trick. He had pegged the
hall to Hankev. and as he did so
smith dashed toward him. Latimer
sidestepped and threw his foot out
to trip Smith. He caught Smith so
'hat he almost took a header. Umpire
Milan allowed Smith to score, as the
penalty imposed on Springfield for the
tactics of Latimer. Springfield
hollowed, and so ilid the crowd. Lati
mer slammed the ball down into the
diamond in the direction of the um
pire, and Milan took a five-spot out of
his salary cheek.
Only t our lilt Oil Hrlttseo.
It was not Rock island's game at
any stage. Only four hits were gath
ered from Brittsen, whose delivery
was beautiful. The wonder is the
miserable support that he received did
not have a more serious effect on him.
Hagerman was pounded bard. Thir
teen hits, one a home run. were made
oft" him.
The first seore for the visitors came
in the second. Ncal. the shortstop,
brought it with one of the longest
hits that has ever Ihmmi made on the
local grounds, scaling the center field
fence. Neal who is not counted a hard
hitter, had his breath so taken away
at the accident that he eould scarcely
start around the bases. In

an-Jine was the first to sec the
home plate on the Kock Island side
It was in the fifth inning. Van had
connected for one base, stole second
and went on to third while Donnelh
was finishing Miller's fly in center, and
eame the rest of the way when Lat-
imer tired to second to head off
Smith, who had been given transpor
tation. In the fatal seventh all the trouble
occurred after Miller had been re
tired on a fly to Donnelly. Corkhili
drove easy to Brittsen. The pitcher
apparently was nervous, for he fussed
with the ball like a baby playine witl
a bundle of yarn in the front parlor
Smith and flag! rman followed with
hits. Thornton drew his hute on a
fielder's choice while the infield was
endeavoring to hedge in Smith be
tween third and home. Donahue
rolled to his reilhaired friend on first
and the latter made one of the rank
est messes of the game, l.ally flied to

There was prospects of recovery by
the Politicians in thir half of the
ninth. Hut one was down, the sore
was fi and ". and Bhrfght was on thin
base, having gotten there on a corking
hit for three bases in Latly's garden.
Neal, already with two hits to his
credit, was on the scratch, and con
nected once more, but was robbed of
it on a sensational one-handed catch
by Miller, who jumped in the air at
least three fret and speared the ball
with his left hook. The home team was
playing steady ball under the eiicoui
aging coaching of Donahue from the
first base corner. Brittsen could
not drive the sphere out of the dia
mond. And that was the finish of
about as ragged an exhibition of the
national game as has been offered al
the Kock Island grounos this year.
The score:

MYSTERY OF DEEP
Fisherman Brings to surface a
Bunch of Woman's Hair
in Sylvan Slough.
MAT BE WEIGHTED BODY THERE
Gruesome Find is Made Yesterdsy
Afternoon Near Kailroad
Bridge.
A fisherman, whose home is in tiales
burg, and whose name could not bt
learned, was angling in the Sylvan
water, about 2()0 feet from the ('.. K.
L V: P. bridge abutment yesterday af
temoon, when he pulled his line front
the water and thereon was a bunch of
human hair, or what the fisherman
thought was woman's hair. No in
vestigation has been made into the
matter by the authorities.
The man says that he ha I thrown
'lis line out into the water about thir
ty f et from the shore. In attempting
to liitll the line out of the water he
noticed that it was tightening. Think
Ug that he had a member of the tin 11
tribe he set to work to land his catch
hen he was struck dumb with horror
lo find what he thought was human
hair.
Scc;-nt Haul of i1ir.
He took the ghastly find from his
hook and again threw his line Into the
water. Again he pulled out the same
kind of material. He notified Quart!
Green Bt the viaduct, who telephoned
the police.
Br some who work in the neijrhbor-
hood of where the find was made Ihe
story Is girCH no credence. Others
think that instead of being a bunch of
hair caught on the fisherman's hook
it was a part of a decayed hemp rope.
There are still others who think that
it may be that some murder has been
committed, and in order 1 hide the
crime the murderer has weighted the
body to prevent its rising to the sur
fa t.
to decide it and Hall's home run was
tin feature.

DUST FROM DIAMOND.
Donnelly still pulls the grass,
("orkhill was easy for Brittsen
fan-
ning twice.
It was certainly Memorial day for
Springfield.
Hagerman and Brittsen were even
on both strikeouts and passes.
The Colts hail four stolen bases,
rhey showed much improvement in
their base running-.
In the third Latimer's bat was hit
so hard with a pitched ball that Tackfl
toppled over backward-.
Hagerman gave Donnelly his base
twice. Some thought be was Irving
to le generous with his old boss.
Hines. of Dubuipie. has started a
contest with Minneapolis ft,r Rusty
Owens, who baa been farmed to Du-
Iuth.
Lister hail a new bat but he could
not stir up the hits. The bat appears
to be a trifle short for a long boy
like Pete.
Milan umpirrd satisfactorily. He
fin- to thoroughly understand the
game and tries to be fair. No more
could be a.-ked.
(iuy HIair. who pla.ved a brief en
gagement at short with the Bock-
fords, has been signetl for Snapper
Kennedy s Ottumwa team.
Two thousand people saw the game.
Many cf the Itockford excursionists
were on the ground. They rooted
for "he Politicians.
A car ran off the track on the wav
to town with a load of fans from the
tram. The mishap occurred at Tenth
avenue and Eleventh street. No one
was hurt.
The C'ommiKiores are stopping
Kock Island house. They ha
at the
re t R e
nattie.-t uniform in the Icagtit . blue
with white trimmings.
Corkhili dropped two fly balls in left
field, one in the first and another in
the second. They were rank ones,
but neither was costly. Ccrkhill seem
ed in a trance.
Louie Lippert is net so noisy as he
was a u'nr ago. Louie had to promise
to put on the soft pedal before his
reinstatement hiis agreed to by the
directors of the league.
Added to the penalty that I.ntimer
brought en himself and his -team with
his r vvdyism. Manager Donnelly Soak
ed him with a heavy fine before the
team left the city last night.
In the fifth a ball batted into the
diamond by Hed Wright struck Umpire
Milan and glanced over into the out
field. Wright was allowed to lake his
base and was credited with a hit.
The Colts ncer were able to do
niitcfT with a southpaw. Brittsen ha?
j--ine of the widest benders that have
been exhibited at the local park this
season. He has an unusually deceptive
out. And how they did bite at it yes
terday. Tom Hackett, w ho assaulted an um
pire in Roekford last year while with
Davenport, was married to Miss Katie
Brown, of Qumey, last week. Hackett
's now managing the Keokuk team.
Meek, of Kockford. is batting Mi
and Dalrymple and Jaeger ate also
above the .300 mark, while Shour is
close below it. Still, the Roekford pa
pers say the team is not batting as it
should.
The Colts gave an exhibition of
loose and ragged playing yesterday
that was displeasing even to their
most ardent admirers. There is a
screw loose somewhere. It is time for
the management to find where the
note of discord is and eliminate it.
Donahue was the life of the game.
Aside from playing a good first he
hits the ball and is a star on the
coaching line. in the seventh he
dropped his cap in milking first, and
made the circle with his skypiece un
covered. He looks like tic Southwest
limited coining from third to the
home plate.
In the fourth inning Donnelly stole
second while Hagerman and Smith
were talking the sign language. Hag
erman did not discover that he had
been buncoed until Donnelly was so
close to the base that it would have
been useless for him to have made
an effort to throw him out.
Tommy Campbell, who started last
year with Joliet, a team that survived
a few weeks in Three-Bye league com
pany, worked out with the Colts tit
the local park yesterday afternoon.
He appeared in uniform. Some of the
fans took him for Johnny Heedles.

The Roekford Register t Gazette,
speaking of open dates, has the fol
lowing: "The Three-Kye league sched
ule makers showed their folly in leav
ing Saturday dates open. No game
was played here today, and it will
mean a big loss in dollars and cents
about the league. Saturday is gen
erally good for much more than the
average week day. It is not the in
tention of Kockford to complain for
self alone, as Roekford 8 end of the
schedule is all that could be desired,
but in the interest of the league local
fans feel that Saturday games are.

"My mother has been a sufferer for
manv years with rheumatism," savs
W. H. Howard, of Husband. Pa. "At
times she was unable to move at all.
while at all times walking was pain
ful. I presented her with a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Halm, and after a
few- applications she decided it was
the most wonderful pain reliever she
had ever tried; in fact, she is never
without jt now, ttnd is at all times able
to walk. An occasional application of
Pain Halm keeps away the pain that
she was formerly troubled with." For
