ators out, to 0. They played in
their old time form and gave Joe
Scott excellent support at all times,
especially when bungle would have
been embarrassing. Joseph was also
there with the goods He allowed
only six hits and they were all scat

Started Scoring Early.
Rock Island broke into the score

was doing the singing for the visit
CrS and Louie's hit ratified him and
when Mcbride laid down a pretty
bunt TO send Cook along on his Jour
/ ney, he threw TO third in a vain at
tempt to get the man there and the
result was that everyone was safe
with no one gone. Berger tried the
squeeze play but it was a failure and
he was thrown out without a score
resulting. With Wise up More
couldn't see the plate and he started
throwing wild. His fourth ball got
through Johnson some way and Cook,
/, ever ready to take advantage of a
misplay was on his way home before
More knew what was going on. He
finally covered the pan but it was too
! late, for Louie slid in under him and
was safe. Prospects were very rosy
for more runs then, but More settled
after hitting Eng with a pitched ball
striking out Scott and causing Murphy
to knock an easy one to the infield
