Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-06-25

Timely hitting, the pitching OF Gran |
Gy and lack of team work by the |
champs did the business for the Sen
ators yesterday and the game vas
aiken from the Islanders by a sc0I2
III to q: Up to the sixth inning il
looked as though 'sShifty' Howard hal
il on the visitors but i'll that round lie
took the count yet from that time on
he would have held his own with in
telligent support, notwithstanding his
own poor fielding.
Ii was a hard game to lose especial
iy after the brilliant start that the Is,
landers made in the first inning. The
much touted Grandy didn't look so bad
then and the result was that he was
found for a pair of hits by Swain
and Cook which, coupled with
AN erroro made by Happy Jack
Herbert at third allowed two champs
to amble home. After that merry
first though, there was nothing TO it.
as GTandy had it ON the sluggers and
the best they could get off him was a
lonely single in the second. What he
lad on those twisters of his is hard
to tell but it continually fooled the
Islanders and made them put the ball
| into some ones hands,
Double and Two Singles.
Howard was also there with the
goods with the exception of the sixth
| session. Then the Senators landed
OH his curves and banged out double
and two singles which sufficed to bring
, two scores over the pan. Herbert COM
menced the trouble for "Shifty" with
a hit down the third base line. He
reached second while Ruby made a
martyr of himself. Coming home was
easy on the two sacker which Cocash
lElaced in center field. Cocash was re-
warded for his double by being allow
!! to go home on McCarthy's single
Hughes was fruit, however, and Der.
ger gathered in his high one with ease
and retired the side
! In the ninth inning two more runs
crossed the pan which put the champs
TO the bad
Mccarthy who was the first up
drew a two Dagger while Swain and
bowers were debating which of them
should have caught the fly that he
drove TO them. Either of them could
have taken it easily but they both were
generous enough to want the other
one to receive the credit for the put
out and accordingly there was no pu
out for either of them.
Trouble Not Alone.
Troubles never come singly, but il
battalions, is the adage and it wa:
demonstrated when the next man III
tried 10 bunt but ii fell short and Ent
lined it to third where Mac put it OF
the other Mac as nicely as one coulc
want but Mac No. couldn't see tina
the man was out. Hughes who was OF
first moved up notch when Scharn
weber was thrown out az the east cor
uer and then the little man Donovan
J came up and poked out hit past How
ard that made the fans groan as TIL
runs came in. Mccarthy and Hughe
10th counted and the score was A 10
Grandy came up and slammed one a
Howard that he couldn't sidstep and 81
, he threw to second and Berger threw
to first III time to double it. If tn
Iplay had come minute earlier tn
game might have gone for extra in
lnings. With one gone in their half o
the inning two Of the champs reache,
first on passes. Ii seemed like the OF
portunity as Grandy had clear cas-
of stage fright. Lundin was sent Il
for Howard and whitfield. Likewis
Berger II was all over The score:
