ing shown up well in the Kewauee
team this year. and there were a lot of
his friends in the grand stand who
came up 10 watch bim help take the
game from the Peorians with score of
6 TO q. He did not do much with the
bat, but his past stick work shows up
well on the paper record and his friends
say there will be no trouble with that
part if his work in the box is satisfac-

Heavy Hitting.
Although they had the game won in
the third inning with three hits, the
Islanders batting was quite heavy at
times Wanner and Carlisle each hit
for two bases and Sweeney and Van
dine found couple that were good TO
reach the third bag on. Only two of
the DistillerS reached second and none
got beyond. Riggs went down on two
base hit in the second. and Horne was
allowed to get there by a bad throw
from Sweeney to Lister.

Bill Kreig relieved Lawrence as UNI

body. Gruebner was the only one who
registered a kick and Bill told him
where TO get OFF at and nothing more

stop was at the bat and took it upon
himself to do some umpiring. a couple
of times starting to first, making
bluff at four balls. Strikes were called
and Grucbner slammed his bat down
on the ground in the manner the boys
had been in the habit of doing with
Lynch and Lawrence. Bill whispered
something 10 him and Gruebner was
as meek as a lamb thereafter. Kreig
Judged balls and strikes closely all
through the game. But he made one
bad break which he got out of in such
clever manner that the crowd was
amused rather than Disguised. Neal
