Schroeder placed, all right, but it hap pened to be in the second laoney de partment, for the home boys ham mered the white headed moundist for nine safe ones and the pame. The final returns were Davenport, 3; Springfield, 1. The crowning feature of the day was the fact that old Mr. Sunshine, who has been on an extended sojourn at points far remote, became home - sl.k yesterday afternoon, and packing his crip, paid his hotel bill and came hack to Davenport. Said sunshine re- inainert In the boll lot during the en- tire game, and the bugs chanted in unison: "Welcome Little Stranger." K. TO TIIK Fi0T. "Jesse James" Barnes, the intrepid and dauntless outlaw, v ho foresook the wild and untrammeled prairie spaces at Clrcleville, Kan., in order to mingle with the Norfolk-suited tender- foot and the effete east, was the hend-der the ball and held It, but crashed liner on the bill.

Both men advanced a ever, he held the visitors to three base on. Kommers' sacrifice. Men on lone hits, very much segregated, and second and third, only one gone, pitched a mighty satisfactory game : Wakefield hit to Barnes and Lofton throughout. Perhaps the reason was crucified at the plate. Clayton Springfield lost was because "Count" 'also rolled to Barnes, ending it. uas iacKs neiave was miormea that his services were not required for the afternoon. Del.ive warmed the bench and had but little to say. REIlO ox the job. The Sox got to Schroeder for two runs In the second stan.-.a something after the following manner: Carrigan, who tas No. 1, waited for a quartet ot wide ones and .tabled to second 3n Coleman' sacrifice. Barnes died at short and with two gone, it ap peared as how the "hum" boys didn't calculate to git no runs in that there niu. But hold! Not so rapid in you conclusion?, my brave bucko.

FIRST CONCERT GIVEN TOMORROW Rqsenfleld Memorial Series Be Opened at Long View by Bleuer's Band. to The first of the series of open air concerts for Long View park will be given tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock by Bleuer's band. The concerts were arranged by C. D. Rosenfield as a me morial to his mother, Mrs. Julia Ros enfield. An interesting program has been ar ranged for tomorrow and, with pleas ant weather, it is expected that the beautiful park will accommodate great crowds. Long View has never appear ed more attractive than at the present time, due to the excellent work of C. F. Gaetjer, and those who have not visited the place this season should make a special effort to do so tomor row. AT AUGUSTAN A II When E. 'V. Olson, treasurer of the Augustana Alumni association, makes his report at the annual meeting of the association next Thursday, he will show a total of $384 collected for the $1,000 scholarship, which the members of the alumni have decided to raise for the college. In addition to the amount collected, several pledges have been made which bring the total within striking distance of the $1,000 mark. One of the largest boosts to the funds was made yesterday, when the class of 19J.2 handed over a check for $50 as its contribution to the fund. The class expects to contribute $30 more later. This Is the only class which has made a joint contribution to the -fund. The money was a part of the profits accruing from the sale of the Rockety-I 1912. One of the important matters that will come up for discussion at the meeting of the alumni will be the question of direct representation on the board of directors of the college. A referendum vote recently taken by the executive committee of the alumni association resulted 78 to 5 in favor of the move. A large number of the members failed to register their opin ion, however. The question will be taken before the synod and if car ried through successfully may involve a change in the state charter of the college. The annual meeting next Thursday will be preceded by a reunion at 3 o'clock, when a program will be ren dered in the lecture room of Denk mann Memorial library. An address of welcome will be made by President Grant Hultberg and C. F. Anderson, a member of the class of 1913, will respond. Two short talks will be made ! by E. W. Olson and Rev. A. F. Berg- Strom, in addition to which there will will be some musical numbers. The annual banquet will be held in the college dining hall at 7 o'clock. SARDINIAN BAGPIPES.
