score of z to that it took 10 innings
to decide it. but such was the fact,
and six of DAvenport's II hits were
made in the last one. Each one of
those smacks at the finish was worse
than the jumping toothache to a ma
jsrity of the big crowd present.
Rock Island had lead that was
scarcely large enough to be comfort

runs were made, and which lasted

wow-wow--two baggers, two 2-bag-
gers and two singles told the story.
Stauffer in the box was a trifle deep
