TWO new men FOR
ISLANDERS HERE
Austin, First Sacker, and O'Mara, Out
fielder From East Report to
President Spencer.

President Spencer, through scout
who has been out for the last week
has secured for the Rock Island teaLl
new Businessman and new out
fielder Austin, the new first sack n
comes from the Hudson River league,
he having played with POughkeepsie
last season. His hitting average was
,273. which ranked among the best.
His fielding for the season was .976.
He was at one time in the Connecticut
league and is well acquainted with
Manager Tighe OMara the Outfielder
is not so well known. The two men
arrived last evening and reported to
Manager Tighe on his return with the
team this morning. Tighe says he will
put Austin in at once, but will see what
OMara can do before starting him.
Another pitcher is expected to join
the team at once. Negotiations are
also said to be on for an Outiielder-a
known quantity.
Manager Tighe attributes the loss
Iof at least three games on the road
10 inexperienced work in the out
field. notwithstanding the fact that
three of his best pitchers are
suffering with sore arms, which was a
great handicap throughout the ser
les in general. Tighe said to-
day that he was surprised TO find that
Murphy had not improved his chance
to get into condition during the clubs
absence. and minated very strongly
that the left fielder would be cut loose
if not ready to get back in the game at

for II years. His greatest tri-
were scored i'll the east, the
winning of two pcnnants in the Con-
necticut league attracting the attention
OF the Rock Island association. The Is

their own against other teams that will

stated Rock Island has played the most

to win the pCnnant.

ISLANDERS RETURN.
Home for Their Last Stand
Against Southern Rivals for
Three-Eye Bunting.
CRlPPLES ARE IMPROVING
Manager Tighe Still Full of Confidence
and With Proper Support Team
viii Still Make Good Race.

The Islanders returned today from
their somewhat disastrous trip to the
south to meet Springfield at home.
While the boys have been losing pref
ty steadily they have never stoppe /
fighting, as those who were with the
team at various places since they left
home are ready to testify. No team
ever worked harder to hold its place
than Rock Island has done.
There are several good reasons WHY
a better showing was not made. In ad-
dition to the disability of some of tho
most important players the work "
the umpires was without question pre-
judicial to an extent, particularly at
Decatur. The pitching staff has been
in bad way and it has been neces-
sary to alternate Scott and Howard
daily for some time. Wilson and Lun-
din have been i'll poor condition AMI
Neal unable TO play. Manager Tighp
has himself been and is still suffering
with Il bruised elbow sustained at
Springfield. and OLeary was forced II
remain on the bench the second day
at Decatur from an injury of the same
nature.
Holds Chance still Good.
Therefore. all things considered, the
showing made may be considered ::
fair one. Manager Tighe is still full
of confidence and believes Rock Island
/ has a good chance TO win the bunting
The three pitchers whose loss has bear
so keenly felt are getting in form agar
and with the new material that has
