Yesterdays game was another of
the kind that abounds in ifs from
the Rock Island standpoint. 1t is
pretty hard TO lose a game by so
close a score when we need the vic
tory so desperately and naturally
the why's and wherefores are matters
of unusual interest.
In the first place it is safe to say
that if Kohley Miller had not been
hurt in the first inning necessitating
his taking out for the remainder of
the contest. we would have stood "a
better chance. If the one error of
the locals had not been made two
of the visitors runs would probably
not have been made. Likewise, if
someone could have hit the ball in
the fifth or ninth innings the story
would in all probability have been Il
different one. And, lastly. if Burchell
had not been able to follow up good
work in the box with a phenomenal
record with the stick, the visitors
would not have made a run. For all
that, it was an interesting game and
the spectators felt better after the
locals came so near winning out in
the end.

NIIIIer,s Accident.

The accident to Miller was most de-
pIorable. 1t happened in the first in
ming. He made n two-bagger down
over third and reached second cas-
lily. In stopping on that bag, how
ever. his calk caught and his left
ankle was wrenched so that he had
to be carried from the field. Willlin-
son was brought in from left and
covered second. while Smith went
out into the garden. For the visitors,
Cross, behind the bat in the begin
ming, retired in the fifth in favor of
Reading on account of an injured
leg.
The Rock Island team made bet
ter appearance than they have at any
previous time ON the home grounds
this season. They played in their
blue suits and all had the red caps.
The change was the subject of much
favorable comment on the part of the
patrons of the game.

whore the scores Came.

In the first inning Miller's place on
base was taken by Smith who was
sent to third on a sacrifice by DON
nelly and scored on hit by Wright.
Graham died on low one and Will
kinson famed the murky air. Bad
coaching in the fifth, when two men
got on base with no one out. may
have prevented a score from being
made in that inning. With two men
out O'Leary attempted to beat out a
fly from short left and made the
third by being caught at the plate.
In the ninth combination of errors
came near giving the locals chance
to tie the score. Graham perished
on a bouncer and Wright sent lit
tie grounder over to MarkIey at
third, who messed it and allowed the
runner to live. Wilkinson got his
shoulder in front of the ball and
camped at first. BurchelI tried to
get him off base, but threw the ball
over into the grass, and Wright scor-
ed, Wilkinson making third. Then
Williams struck out and O'Leary
ended the game by pushing a roller
down to Quinn.

The other Side.

Evansville had men on base in sew
en- of the innings. In the fourth it
was that two runs were gathered.
Burt took four broad ones and Ebert
bunted and survived on an error in
handling it by Milton. Markley sac
rificed and then "Beanpole" Dickey
struck out. Burchell brought in the
pair of runs with a clean hit, but
tried to make second on a fake throw
home and was caught. In the sixth
a base on balls, followed with cou-
pie of hits, brought another. Ebert
got the base after Burt had come to
naught. Marl<ley hit, but was nailed
at second on Dickey's grounder. Then
Burchell hammered out another safe
one and the run was in. Quinn went
to his reward on a fly to Donnelly.
