Ii Jack Haskell had only called
Hickety Hoffman out yesterday in
the ninth inning when he went to
second on Lawrence's hit to Cantil-
Ion, it would have been a 1O-inninp
game and Rock Island might possibly
have won. Andrews pitched a neat
er game by far than Gragg. and got
better support, but Des Moines hit
at opportune times, and then Has
kell was off in some of his rulings.
1t Happened Thusly.
Danny. the whistler, got base on
balls, then War-horse Joe Cantillon
biffed the sphere for two sacks and
put Dan on third. William Zeis
struck out. Uncle Joe flew out to
first, but Dad kreig hit to Griffin
and that fellow made the first of his
several errors, and Dan and Joe took
advantage of the chance and came
home. Belldune Hill stood up and
let Gragg hit him in the Stats and
took first. Harry Sage was treated
likewise. and Paddy Lynch hit to
Griffin and Doc was thrown out at
second. In the last half of the in
ming something almost unparalleled
occurred. The first ball Andrews
threw up Matte" Vickers put over
the left field fence for home run.
The next ball he pitched, ..Hickety'
Hoffman popped up to Billy Kreig;
the next one Seisler hit to Cantillon
and was out at first and the next and
fourth ball Lawrence hit To Lynch
and was put out at first. Thus, it
may be seen, the side was retired
with four pitched balls. In the Sec
one Rock Island scored two. An
drews went out on fly to short, and
Daniel, the little Turk, who had
his lamps trimmed Tuesday, hit
the ball for three sacks. Cantillon
followed with hit. and aided by
Hoffman's error, Sweeney scored and
Joe skated around to third. Putty
made a hit and Joe Cantillon scored.
Zeis bided his time, and when the
''opporchancity'' came he swipe6
second. but Joe katz and Bill Kreic
both flew out to Porter on second.
and left ..Waddie" where he was.
Des Moines ciphered in its half of
the second and third. and Rock ISL
and continued to cipher until the
sixth, when Danny Sweeney got
against the ball for home run. In
the fourth Des Moines scored two.
Seisler opened with phase hit. and
Lawrence droye one to Hill. who put
Seisler out while he was trying to 90
to third on the hit. McFadden hit
over the left field fence for a home
run and Lawrence came in. Then
Tratfley hit to Jay and went out at
first, and Griffin hit to Cantillon and
went out at the same gate. In the
fifth the prohibs scored two more
after two men were out, and that
should have been all, but Jack Has
kell gave the Twins the worst of il
in the ninth, end Des Moines scored
two. Rock Island scored in the
v.
flew out in right field. and Danny
went out at first on a hit to second.
Joe Cantillon hit the pig skin for
three sacks, and Putty made a hi,
against the right field fence for a base
thus scoring Joe. but Joe Katz went
out at first on hit to third.
Jacks Bad Work.
In tho nj ;pr;nr ,,., e.
up and hit low hard ball over third
base, but Jack called it foul. 1,
was as nice fair ball as one would
want to see, and when Bill came
back he hit to Gragg. No telling
what the boys would have done if
Kreig's hit had been fair. Then in
DesMoines' half Gragg had gone GU,
when McVicker hit a little easy one
down tn Hill and the ball was fielded
over to Kreig. The ball seemed in
side the foul line. but Jack called it
a foul, aud McVicker chuckled as he
came back, and the next moment he
hit for home run. Hoffman fol-
lowed with a hit. and Seiser hit to
Csntillon, Joe got the ball and ran to
the line to head off Hickety. He had
him nicely, for he couldn't get away
and play fair ball, he would have to
run out of the line, which he did,
and lodged. Joe cut Seisler off at
first, and turned around and found
that Hickety was standing on Sec
ond. his face split with large German
smiles, and Jack Haskell called him
safe. Lawrence made hit and set
tied the business. The score:
