terday afternoon by a score of + to !.
Hunkey Hines feels that his band of
swatters will land first money when
the Three-Eye race is finished, but for
the past six days his pennant aspira-
tons have received a hard blow, for
they haven't landed a game. For this
reason it was a determined bunch of
ball players that the locals had to meet
yesterday afternoon, and although the
contest was an interesting one from
beginning to end, at the end of the
second inning the visitors had scored
what proved to be enough runs to win
the game.
Frank Lahaff did the serving for the
locals and should have gotten away
with his game, if the team behind him
could have showed out a single or two
at the proper time. Outside of the sec
ond inning, when four hits We're
punched with an error. netting three
runs, he pitched a good game. He
struck out 10 men and allowed one
pass Three of the 10 hits which are
charged against him were scratches.
But the locals were up against Steele.
who was only hit safely three times,
twice by Thornton and once by Miller
although he was very liberal with his
bases on balls. He hit one man and
gave four bases. but when it came to
4 pinch he managed to settle down.
Three scores I'm Second.
In the first Thornton was thrown out
by Hadley at first. Sweeney hunted.
but Johnny Thiery nailed him at first
Lister went out to first. LalIaff opened
ZIP by striking out Fleming. Thiery hit
to Thornton. and Buelow knocked Il

Vandine. WOOlf started off in the
visitors half with a single. Reagan hit
one into left which Durkee could not
get under and Steele landed on third.
Hughes hit one out between center
and left. scoring Reagan and landing
himself on second. Pattison hit to
Vandine, who, instead of getting
Hughes. who was running for third
and doubling PattisOn at first, fumbled
the ball and both were safe. Hadley
then showed out a little single and
Hughes came in with the third run of
the inning Miller and Lister put Steele
back on the bench and Lakaff struck
out both Fleming and Thiery.
Durkee. the first man up in the
third. walked. Hupp flew out trying
to sacrifice him to second. Lakaff hit
to Pattison, who threw him out at
first. but Durkee advanced to second.
Thornton then placed a pretty single
in center and Durkee came across the
rubber with our lone run. In the
visitors half the mighty BuelOw fan
ned. Woolf was easy for Nandine and
Lister. Reagan got a single, but
Hughes flew to Miller.
should Have Had One Here.
In the fourth the locals should have
had another run. After Lister had
gone out Steele walked both Cheek
and Miller. but Nandine and Durkee
were easy. For Dubuque, Pattison hit
to Vandine and beat out the ball. He
stole second. at least SO the umpire
said. Lakaff struck out Hadlcy and
Steele and Fleming was taken care of
by Durkee. Things looked good again

Lakaff. although if Lakaff had waited
he. too. could have walked. Hupp stole
while Thornton was striking out. but
Sweeney was thrown out at first by
hot one to short. Miller and Lister
turning back Thiery in Dubuque's half
Buelow lined pretty one out in right,
but Hupp was there and WOOlf foulcd
to Lister
In the sixth inning Lister knocked a
fly to Hadley. Cheek went out 10
Fleming and then came a little Incl
dent that showed that luck wasn't
with us. Miller hit warm one TO
Hadley. which he managed 70 stop,
with one hand. He threw high TO BHe-
low and the ball went over his head.
Miller could have travelled home. but
in bounding into the bleachers the
ball struck board and few back into
BueIows hands and Kohley was held
a second. Nandine then went ont to
Hadley Thornton took care OF Rea-
gan and I-akaff struck Hughes and
PattiSOn. in the visitors half.
BueIow Did Not Have the Goods.
Vandine opened the seventh by
grounding out to short. Hupp struck
out and Lakaff was put out by Thiery
and Buelow II looked like a couple
for Dubuque in their half. After Mil
Ter had put out Hadley, Steele tore off
a single and promptly stole second.
