Nice, Lively Crowd Out.
One of the incest week day audi
noes of the season was out to the re-
ception. \ few were from Davenport
The only time they filled their lungs
vas when Thornton opened the ninth
With a nulle hit that went tor two
jaSes. But the aforesaid visitors col
lapScd with a splash when the rUnnrE
died i'll his tracks on the fast double
which Manager Tighe set going and
which furnished Il heart disease wind
up. Seldom has there been heari
such roofing for the home team. l.
bad something to feed upon all tn
while and it grew and ilOurished aui
cast the Senators III the shade.
For there was much to shout about
Wilson held the visitors down, Cook
spanked them, and TiShe prevented
them from getting away in the final
session. If ever pitcher was right
that pitcher was Wilson yesterday. Up
10 the ninth he had suffered two stu
giles to be picked off, both in the sikh
inning. and then Manager SCharn-
weber. who made the first one, died at
bird.
In the ninth Thornton's two Dagger
was short high one over short that
Cook could have pulled down easl!%
had he been i'll his usual position.
However, he was up close behind Van
dine laying for one of those nasty lii
tie freaks that a left handed batter
sometimes puts just over the third
bascman's head. bowers was well to
the right and so the ball rolled away
unrestrained. Two errors on ha d
chances were followed up by brilliant
all around work and did no damage.
Bcccher Not so Poor.
BeechCr who is accounted Spring
fields best and who is said to be slate
for faster company at the end of the
season, did not do much worse THAI
Wilson but he suffered himself to be
tapped twice i'll the fourth, and this
with Berger's stolen base and Ruby
error was enough to decide the dav.
Rock Island had men on III several
other rounds but Cook was the only
one that was able to put the ball into
an open spot when there was anybody
on second.
Aside from the sixth the visitors di
not have much ground for hope.
\ double play in the third pulled on,
of one small hole and Wilson's quick
peg to Berger who stabbed Herbert
off second in the seventh after he Ia
lived on an error helped i'll another
case
Tighe started the fireworks that en-
ed III Rock Islands only run but i"
did not rise to the full proportions of a
hero till the final flash. With Thor
ton on second Ruby stood like a wood,
en- Indian while Wilson put three over
the pan, and went to the coop. Her
bert found one with the end of his bat
that took a mean shoot over first. Tho
manager made lunge for it, barelv
met it and held fast. ThOrton was I'll
ready at third and there was no use -
turn back. The side was suuffed out
so quickly that the crowd sat for VIII "a
seemed a full minute before realizing
that the game had been won. Score:
