Rock Island has won a Sunday game
on the home grounds. Write that on
your thumb nail. And it was won
without any ifs or ands. Mind that,
also.
Davenport came over to make it
three straight and the visiting team
cannot complain of lack of support
from the bleachers and grand stand.
But Rock Island was there with the
cordwood and there was something
doing. Donnclly's men showed a re-
turn of the ginger that had been not
too greatly in evidence for week
back and nothing went begging.
There was but one error on the part
of the locals and that was Il hard
chance.
The visitors may have been over
confident. but if they were they had
some of that undesirable commodity
Jared out of them. Wenig was pit
ted against Graham and Wenig has
been the star of the staff of late.
Then they got a run in the first in
ming, while the home team went till
the third without look in. This
made the shock when il came all the
more severe. Both pitchers were
steady. Although one more hit was
made off Graham than off Wenig, the
former was rather the more effective
and his control was better.
Plenty of Shouting.
The enthusiasm on both sides was
abundant and at times the roofing
settled down to steady roar. Hickey
made his debut here as umpire and
the impression he gave was favora-
bic. He is not gifted with the spec
tacular features that distinguished
Collins, but no one seemed to mind
his plain, matter-offact manner. The
| Davenport rooters took exception to
two decisions, in both of which
! Hickey was in n better position to
see the play than any member of the
crowd.
In the first inning Mill planted a
hot liner in Hills hands and was out
Smith waited for four and Weih-
rauch made safety, which put
Smith on third. Jacobs drove a
grounder to Hill and was out at
first, Smith scoring on the play. King
famed.
In the third Rock Island piled up
enough to last all through the con-
test. Williams died on a bouncer to
King, and then came two errors.
Conwelf lived on one by Davy Crock
EFT and Miller on one by Mil. Dom
nelly was due for hit and that
brought Conwell home. O'Rourke
was also due, but he made it a two
| Dagger and Miller and Donnelly scor-
ed. Wright struck out and Graham
died on long fly to center.
| One More for Each.
The visitors gathered another in
the fifth. After Martin went to the
bench on a fly, Evers thrashed out a
safe one. Wenig drove boupcer to
Hill and persisted and Mill pounded
the leather out to left. If Wilkinson
had gathered it in the play would
have been sensational one, but he
failed to do so and it was an error
Evers touched the rubber. Smith re.
tired the side on high one.
But Rock Island would not let il
rest at that. In the very same in.
ming the victory was cinched with
another one. Miller hit and was safe
but died on a fielder's choice when
Donnelly tried to sacrifice. DonneIly
paid the penalty of his failure al
second, when O'Rourke rolled one
down to King. Tim evened matters q
bit by stealing second and from there
he scored on Wright's hot liner past
ENenig's feet. Graham ended the
lscoring with a fly to left. Score:
