Decatur at Cedar Rapids.

The Islanders and the Senators put
up a remarkable contest at Island City
park yesterday afternoon, considering
the fact that both teams were on the
road II hours, making the jump from
| Springfield here The game went II
| innings, although with perfect support,
Howard, the new recruit from Kearney,
Neb., would have blanked the Senators
in the regulation number. The new
battery Howard and Zalusky, worked
perfectly, and neither showed the eff
fects of the long trip they made to
: reach the city i'll time for the game
Howard had everything that good
pitcher ought TO have in the way of
speed. curves and control and he sent
IL Senators back to the water bucket
The Islanders started to win the
game in the first inning. AL Swain hit
the first ball Moore sent up down into
his favorite corner near the club house
but was poorly coached at Thrill and
was caught trying to make it homer
Black was hit in the ribs, but fast
double play ended the inning In the
second Van led off with clean single
and bowers, the new outfielder, sent
him to second with a perfect bunt
Rudd advanced Van to third on an in
field out and Cook scored him with one
of his timely singles. Howard opened
the third inning with a slashing two

first and scored on a wild pitch by
Moore. DOnnelly then gave Moore his
blanket and Fromme finished the game.
Tough for Senator's.
In the meantime ii was tough sled
ding for the Senators, and not until the
fifth did they hit safely. In that inning,
after Vandine had retired Burg and
Martin with two of his lightning stops
and throws TO Rudd, Taylor, who was
covering right, scratched a hit to left
field. Fromme also hit safely and
stole second. With two on and two
out, Ruby hit short onefnto left field.
Black should have had it, but waited
for bowers to come in for it. He made
a fast run, but couldn't hold the ball
and the two runs counted. The Sen
ators then INDUCED in tactics, which
they figured would send Howard sky
ward, but he showed that besides be-
ing able to pitch ball, he also has plen-
~ of the necessary quality called
nerve and the Senators never had a
look-in after that. From the fifth to
the end of the game they managed to
bag only two more hits and Cameron
was lucky enough to get those, but they
worked the more he improved and in
the ninth just to show that he could do
it, he struck out Burg, Martin and Tay-
lor in succession.
Van Breaks Ii Up.
The game ran along to the 18th in

from short to first. Van stepped to the
