Cedar Rapids. Aug. 23.-Hugh Mic
the Locals yesterday by score of 2
I" o, in a quiet, restful game There
were some exhibitions of all kinds of
hall playing. The fielding done by
the Rabbits was first class. The field
ing done by the Islanders was ragged,
and they didn't get a chance to do
much base running. for Fiene was III
the box and he allowed them but three
hits.
Liebhardt twirled for the Islanders
and he deserved a great deal better
support than he received. The locals
made but five hits off his delivery. In
only one inning were they able to get
more than one hit and it happened
that in that inning they didn't get a
score. The fielding of the Islanders
when the rabbits had the bases full
was one of the fine features of the
game.
Neither Tally Is Earned.
Ball, the first Rabbit to walk to the
plate. drew a base on balls, and stole
second. Davis hit a short one into the
diamond. which would have been a
sacrifice but for Cheeks poor threw.
| The ball hit Davis in the back instead
! of going over his head to Lister and
| by the time the smoke cleared ava;
Ball was waving the Rabbits colors
at the home fort. Davis tried TO make
second but was caught and the next
two were out on infield hits.
There were no more scores until the
seventh when Fiene got a life on an
! error by Carlisle and went to second
while Ball was safe on an error by
| Dan Hupp at third. When Brown hit
a safe one into left field. Fiene tailed.
Hupp in Sensational play.
Dan Hupp made two errors. one of
which was costly. and he also made
one of the sensational plays of the
| day 1t was in the fourth inning after
| Hines and Gill had both made safe
hits Ludwig hit a fast one a few feet
i'll from third and Dan grabbed it
| touched Hines and then fired the ball
to Lister 1t would have been a sen
sational double play, but Lister muff
ed the throw. Ludwig and Gill then
tried a double steal and Gill was
caught at the plate. Hill struck out
SO the inning which began with two
safe hits ended with no scores.
In the sixth inning Davis hit a two
Dagger to right field and Brown went
to first on Hupp's error. while Davis
went to third. Some of the grand
4 stand cOachers advised Jack to hit I
long fly and bring Davis in. but he
attempted to sacrifice instead and
1 Davis was caught at the plate.
! The nearest the visitors came to a
/ score was in the seventh. Rose went
out from Fiene to Brown and then
I Sweeney hit a hot one past brown
down through the daisies in right field
| While Hupp went to first Berte at
tempted to get Sweeney but hit him
in the back with the ball much as
Cheek had hit Davis earlier i'll the inn
| ing. Cheek then hit a hot one tC
Ball and Neal made the finest play of
the game in stopping the gromdeI
and fielding il to the plate cutting of
| Sweeney. In none of the other inn
! ings did the visitors get a man pass
| second.
! Playing Again TJdI,.
