AL. Mauck is beauty.
His pitching yesterday for the
Twins won the admiration of all.
Throughout the entire game he had
the distillers under his control. He
was master of the situation. But
one single hit was made, and that by
Purvis in the eighth inning, and the
big first baseman was as tickled over
his accomplishment as he was doubt
less. the first time he ever brought
bat in contact with ball. He fairly
danced with joy. The resulting run
was a scratch, Shaffer scoring from
second. As it was, the run was not
earned, and Mauck has the credit of
pitching a shut-out game, with
single hit against him, and altogether
with giving the finest exhibition seen
on the home grounds this year. He
had wonderful command of the ball.
and displayed great head work as
well.
Aside from this the field work of
Katz and Carroll were features, and
despite the fact that Rock Island led
safely on the start, it was a sharp,
spirited contest, well enjoyed by all
admirers of the game, and married
only by the ungentlemanly conduct
OF Armstrong, who has succeeded in
making himself about as unpopular
in Rock Island as any player could.
The Game.
Danny Sweeney was given his base
on balls and went to third on Can
tillon's hit. William Zeis pushed
fly out to Sommers, and on the out
Danny spun home. Katz got sim
gle, and Cantillon landed on second,
kreig went out on trap fly to Della
hanty, and Belldune Hill flew out to
Carroll. For Peoria, ciphers were
rolled continuously until the eighth.
Doc Sage opened the second for
Rock Island with home run, and
Patrichias Lynch followed with a
slashing 2-bagger, Mauck made a
pretty sacrifice down the first-base
line, and Sweeney hit to Delahanty.
and Lynch came home. Cantillon
sacrificed Danny to third. Zeis came
up next. and Figgemier gave him
base. Joe katz was due. and with a
crash like Kansas cyclone he hit
the ball over the fence for two bases.
This brought Sweeney and Zeis
home, but when Billy kreig went
out from short to first, Joe katz
went out in his left garden and re-
tired Delahanty. Carroll and Arm
strong on flies, in his territory. In
| the third Rock Island didn't score,
but scored one in both the fourth
and fifth innings. In the fourth
Cantillon hit to Mutton. and he made
an error. Zeis sacrificed, and Katz
got base on balls, kreig hit to Car
roll and was thrown out at first, Can
tillon coming home on the play. but
Hill ended the inning by going out
from Carroll to first.
| Skaters Funny Work.
In the third Danny Sweeney made
the third out on fly in left field,
which Shaffer misjudged and barely
got with one hand. When he got the
ball he ran around the field with it
like an escaped idiot from Jackson
vile. Ordinarily Shaffer attempts to
look. enough like a feeble-minded
imp to warrant his incarceration in
some home for the insane. especially
when he aims to take off Artie La
than. Well, to continue, the crowd
went wild when Paddy Lynch hit a
long fly in left which Shaffer mis-
Judged and didn't even get under.
Before he got the ball and had it
tielded in, Lynch was standing on
third. Undoubtedly Figgemeier
would have been tickled to death to
go right out in the field with a club
and kill Shaffer. but he didn't.
Mauck followed Paddy with a nice
hit. Sweeney flew out to Sommers,
and Al was forced out at second on
CantillOn's hit to Delahanty.
In the sixth and seventh Rock ISL
and rolled total of four more-two
each inning-and went out in walk.
1t was in the eighth Peoria scored.
Then Figgemier struck out and Shat
fer hit fly in Danny Sweeney's lot,
but Lynch went after il and made an
error, while Danny was right under
it and could have gotten it easily.
Sommers struck out, Flynn got a
base on balls and Jim Purvis got the
only hit of the game out in left, and
Shaffer came home. Delahanty
stopped the fun by hitting to Lynch
and going out at first.
