After Dubuque Landed One In Ninth,
Champs Runched Hits.

After Dubuque Landed One In Ninth,
Champs Bunched Hits.
Saturday the champs made a whirl-
wind finish and took the game right
out of the pockets of the visitors. Du-
buque made one lone run in the ninth,
it being the first score for nine fast
innings, and then the champs came
back at them and made two. Wilson
and Most opposed each other on the
slab and up to the last round Most
had little the better of the argument
in point of hits, although Christy held
the visitors safe without run. In the
ninth, however. Derringer's double and
Lejenue's single resulted in the score
which seemed to have won the game.
1t didn't, though, for Wilson came up
in the last turn around and was allow
ed to reach first on Carr's error. Muir
ply drove out single, Stark was hit
with the ball, and the sacks were fill
ed Novacek poked out "a timely hit
and one run came in and the game was
tied. Cook couldn't bear to see it re-
main that way another inning, and he
swatted out beauty that won the
game. 1t was a great exhibition ol
| timely hitting. The score:

The offensive manner of Mickey
O'Brien of Dubuque toward Islanders
at bat nearly caused an encounter Sat
urday in the last half of the ninth
Cook was up, and became so exaspera-
ted by O'Brien's offensive remarks,
that he turned suddenly on the Du-
buque catcher and jerked off his mask
and cap, to show his resentment and
contempt. Others quickly interfered,
and an encounter was prevented. Cook
took up the bat again, and sent one
into the right field. The ball was
thrown home, but thesrunner was safe,
and the game was over. Cook had in
the meantime rounded first base. Pick
ing up the ball, O'Brien threw it at
Cook, but missed him. Cook started
toward the Dubuque man again, but
once more the players prevented a
fight. O'Brien has a way of saying Of
fensive things to batters and of tap
ping the man at bat on the shoulder
or head as an accompaniment to his
remarks. His ways have made him
the most unpopular man in the league,
and even his own teammates dislike
him. He doesn't belong in the game
at all. In the two-O'Brien and LIE.
