    School District 41
     Rock Island, IL

The High School has not played much baseball.  For some reason or other it has not been popular, probably due to the fact that the school-year closes before the baseball season is well advanced.  Mr. Harmon, the coach is well adapted to this work and has succeeded in turning out a fast nine.  He is greatly handicapped, however, by the other spring events.

Alumni 3,  Rock Island 12.
The Alumni turned out loyally to give the varsity a "send off" for the season.   The game was played in fine spirit and afforded much pleasure for both teams as well as practice.

Sterling 18,  Rock Island 9.
Sterling invaded Rock Island April 22 and took the cheese away with them.  It was not as one-sided as the score would indicate until the last inning.  Rock Island stayed right with the band until the last inning and then lost the key.  (Story link)

 St. Ambrose 14,  Rock Island 0.
April 26 those Davenport Irishmen took the bone in their teeth and dug up the turf in a very ungentlemanly way, not even letting Rock Island get in a single run.

Rock Island---Clinton
A victory was taken from Rock Island by the weatherman.  It seems that the old man took the day off and left his boy in charge of the weather.  In some unaccountable manner the kid got the wires crossed and spoiled our game.

Rock Island 8,  St. Ambrose 7.
The Irishmen could not find an opening this time, and Rock Island made off with the balloon.

Rock Island 3,  Maquokata 7.
Rock Island journeyed into the rural districts and were handed a cabbage.  The Islanders got a grip on the game, but lost it in the latter part.
