Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-06-08

Bill Kreig brought his bunch of
youngsters over yesterday and gave
them their first glimpse of Rock Is
land. How they liked it does not
transpire, but they at least had some
thing to think about over night. The
locals found their weak spot, which
is Immediately after the fifth inning,
and did so much to them that they
were unable to recover even when
they discovered the fatal place
in Rock I-land's makeup, which
is located Immediately after the
seventh. Bill Kreig himself be-
haved very well following the
precepts he was taught when he was
one of us. but he stole another base
and some think he had penalty to
pay.

The visitors were shown q very bad
quarter of an hour in the sixth. Up
to that time they had pinched tn g
runs back in most approved fashion,
but here the trouble began and end
ed, too, for that matter. Poor went
to sleep on a tall one and Middleton
hit for one and Milton for two. Then
II 'pkius faced the pitcher and handed
a little grounder over to Kreig who
was little of his base. Without
waiting to put his man out the latter
threw to the plate 10 catch Middleton,
who was trying to score. That gem
tleman, however. chased himself up
and down the line a few times and
ended by sliding safe into third. In
the meantime Hopkins had not
stopped going and now both he and
Milton were on second. Realizing the
situation about the time Middleton
was called safe, Hopkins turned
and scooted back while Baird.

glaring at each other and Kreig was
q mile off his base. Hoy made a

scored on Hughes 2-bagger. Arthur
