E'ansVlIle at bloomington.
II the topnotchers hoped to change
their luck by getting out of the state
of Iowa they were disappointed.
They lost yesterday, however. to de-
serving antagonists. for Rock Island
did play ball. In fact. it was the
kind of ball we have been hankering
for, and the kind, it is needless to
add. that we have not been getting OF
late.
There was plenty of excitement,
too. Twice the visitors, through a
com bination of hits and gifts from
the box, brought things to critical
stage and each time Miller steadied
down and the team frightened up and
crawled out of the hole. There may
have been an element of luck in it,
but we do not like to admit it, and,
anyway, we had another bat coming
that we might have done wonders
with. The crowd was a good one for
week day and there was more en-
thusiasm than there has been in sew
eral weeks. Rebsamen played back
went far toward holding the team to-
gether at critical times.
Hughes Begins Racket.
Hughes started the game in the
first with a 3-base hit. Tate
knocked one a good part of the way
to the moon, but Norcom intercepted
it on its way back. Hoy, however,
saw his duty and hammered bag
ger. Rebsamen dew and Mullaney
grounded. Nothing happened up to
the fifth, when Arthur began the fun
with q safe one, Miller hunted for a
sacrifice, but made his base on Ken
nedy's error, and Hughes sacrificed.
Tate famed and Hoy hit a hot
grounder to Kennedy that the latter
turned up in the air. and Arthur
scored, Miller getting out at the plate.
In the sixth Rebsamen hit the first
one tossed up and went to second on
Mullaney's sacrifice. Middleton hit
an eccentric dusty one down to Berte,
which that very competent shortstop
failed to stick to and a score came
in. Owens lived on Berte's error and
stole, but Arthur grounded. In the
seventh Miller planked a safe one into
sacrifice. Tate gave him third on
another unselfsh one and Hoy gave
us the score. Rebsamen WAS safe,
but Mullsney famed. Middleton
opened the locals half of the eighth
with 3-bagger and Owens brought
him in with hot one over second
base. Arthur's grounder to Berte
was handled for a double and Miller
fouled out.
Cedar RspIds' Story.
Dalquist, the first man up for the
visitors, walked, and Berte sacrificed
The runner took third on u wild
throw by Miller to catch him at Sec
ond. Kennedy was out on a ground
er, but the run came in. Norcom
drilled, but tried to steal with
fatal effect. The other two runs
were made in the seventh. Price
walked and stole, Hill giving him an
other on a sacrifice. Weaver followed
with hit and Price stepped on the
rubber. Gibson had his eye and
walked, and Dalquist made it good
with dagger that brought in one
run. Berte hit to short and
Weaver died at the plate, Gibson
taking third. Then followed one OF
the pretty plays OF the game. Berte |
stole and Rebsamen pretended to
throw him out. He threw low, Mil
Ter nabbed it and turning on Gibson |
nipped him at third. 1t was Rebsa-
mems trick successfully executed.
La the ninth the fans held their /
breath for a time. Price hit
ind Hill was safe on Hughes
error. Weaver advanced them both
IN q sacrifice and Gibson walked. /
But DaIquist famed ANONYMOUSLY
md Berte made bimsel sick by put
ing a small grounder in Middleton's
Jaws. Here it's:
