H4-4 Sept. 2, S3 Aug. S27. 28 (by dox w. huttmssox) Davenport backers of the Cleveland American league ball club sat at Blue Sox park yesterday with expressions; of Joy and pain chasing each other over their usually benign countenances as they watched their hired men from the big show make the i hired men from the little show look; bad, finally donating two tallies to the little fellows with an air of pride in their "Big Brother" stunt The' final count was to 2.

I The Blue Sox were victims of stage fright and played ball much in the' same manner as the small boy recites 1 at the Friday afternoon exercises. Wild heaves, bad Judgment and plain fright all contributed to make the: game with the Indians the best bur-j lesque of the national pastime thatj has been, staged here in many Sox Helpless The Blue Sox were helpless' throughout the alleged contest, 12 of them making their way to the bench via the whiff route and several of their six hits being gifts on the part of the Cleveland outfielders, pure and simple. So helpless were the Sox that on several occasions the Indian out-; fielders came inside the infield lines and stood there watching the frantic attempts of the Davenport batters toi clout the ball. About 800 fans took a chance that; the weather man was right for once and traveled to the orchard to watch the festivities and see the great; Speaker in action. The great gardener had several chances to show bis wares but none of them werej hard and his performance failed to; "With the season already a week under way in the Three Eye league, tho official schedule is released today.

The chart was prepared by J. Phil Ap-pel of Quincy, league statistician, after the magnates had rejected the map mado by Frank Lander of Rockford. According to tho new schedule each club has 70 at home games. Davenport gets nine Sunday dates, three of which are double headers, and one holiday, the chart putting the Blue Sox at home on July 4. Rock Island has eight Sunday dates, two of which are tw in bills, and one holiday, Labor day having been assigned to tho Islanders.

The Plow Boys will play seven Sundays at home, with Memorial day and July 4 as their holiday dates. A number of papers through the league have taken up with President Tearney and the officials of the Associated Press tho violation of the release date by the Peoria Journal Tuesday evening. The schedule was sent to all papers several days ago with Instructions that it should not be printed before Thursday afternoon, but "Addle" Adams sporting editor of the Journal, failed to observe the release date, The following from the Quincy Journal shows the feeling regarding the violation: "Well, we guess It's nil over. "That Is. anything regarding certain release rules.

'One week ago last Sunday, before the first schedule, which was drawn by Frank Lander of Rockford, was even accepted by Al Tearney, league president, the Rockford Star poller! what It thought was something, and published the schedule. That same day Tearney discarded the chart. "Phil Appcl drew another schedule, which he sent to tho Associated Press and tho United Press. It was released for publication on Thursday of this week, and Inasmuch its it happened to fall into the hands of some who have no knowledge of the rules of Xhe game, much less an Idea of living up to them. It was turned loose last night by self-styled 'Addle' Adams of tho Peoria Journal, "This was done, too, In violation of all release rules, even the 'honor among thieves custom being thrown to the winds, regardless of any principle.

"Of course, Addie Is in for it. Thn Journal in Quincy is one that will protest, and no excuse will be considered, because the release date was In plain black and white on the schedule. It Is now up to Tearney to bring the young busher to time, and it may be that things will bo more comfortable for him In Waterloo again than among the fertile fields of Illinois." scouts In Iowa and the visitors fielded weakly.

Warde's wild and his own teammates. lass Will Tell The Cleveland club showed up as a major league ball club. The class was there and that is the only excuse or explanation necessary. It was merely a case of a major league club pitted against a minor league club with the result never in doubt. Had the Blue Sox staged a similar game in the Three-1 league Dan O'leary would have been confined in a straight jacket before the second inning was played.

Mussing up easy plays was the best tbey could do and the wonder of it all was that the score was not 109 to 2. The oldest fans cannot remember the time in the last five years when the local club looked so bad, but they are willing to forget yesterday's little fracas because they realize that the Sox were beaten by a big league pennant contender. Indians Score In the first frame Gould was slightly nervous and walked Graney, the first man to face him, but was forced an instant when Evans attempted to sacrifice, Gould to Conger. Duggan then missed a dandy peg by Mills at first that would have retired Evans. Speaker's first appearance at the plate met with much applause from the stands and he responded by doubling to deep left, Evans scoring on the bit.

Smith flew out to Duggan and Conger mussed up Gandil's roller, Speaker scoring. I'mps Brown called a balk on Gould and Gandil went to second. Won. Lost. ret.

Billings counted Howard with a single to center and Conger and Warde contributed to the boot column again in an effort to catch Wambsganss, which resulted in another tally. In the ninth the visitors made no effort to score, allowing the Blue Sox to retire them without difficulty. The Sox only scores came in the ninth when, after Graham had rolled out to Evans the Indian outfielders came inside the infield, O'Brien doubled to left and Warde flew out to Smith.

Johnny Conger fooled them all by clouting the ball to the center field fence, circling the bases while the Indians relayed the ball back via every man on the club.
