Backstop Medric Boucher (pro.

Manager Cook this morning. The
reason given for not reporting sooner
was that his right hand was in poor
condition, having split little finger.

able to use it for few days to good
advantage, although he will likely get

bered that he was sent home to rest
up after receiving an injury to his leg
in the last game played at Iowa City

Cook has not yet decided what to do
with him. If possible he will be given
a berth in some other league with a
string attached as it is thought that
he is valuable man and one that

1t took two hours to play the game
yesterday. but nobody left the field un-
til it was all over. Even the rain
which fell near the end of the game
had no terrors While the game was
slow in point of time taken in playing
lit, there was something doing all the
citing exhibitions seen at Island City
park 1t was an uphill climb for the
champs all the way, but they put their
shoulders to the wheel, and. with the
efficient aid of Christy Wilson, won a
game that seemed gone beyond recov-
| cry in the very first inning.
Scott started ON the slab for the
Islanders The first ma nup stepped into
| a slow one and went to first. Genins
skied out to Murphy. but Miller wal
loped one for sack and advanced
Carr to second. Strong Arm Leieune
| followed with a two-sacker that clear
ed the bases. Scotty filled the bases
| by hitting Vandine and passing T.
O'Brien.
1t was about time to put a damper
ION the aspirations of the league lead
| ers, and Manager Cook called upon
Christy Wilson to do the stunt. The
smiling one had been busy warming
up behind the grandstand and ne came
lout prepared for battle. He threw two
strikes to Derringer, and then the ca
tastrophe occurred. Dowers had just
made bluff at coming up to catch the
man on second, and before he was
back in his place the ball was thrown
to the batter, and when it landed it
was out where bowers would have
been if the thing had happened a few
lseconds later. As it was, it was a
| lthree-bagger of the scratchiest caliber,
and again the corners were cleared. 1t
was all over for the visitors, though,
| for Christy was angry, and from that
time on he made them look like 80
cents. Only one more hit was gather
ed off his throwing arm, and that came
in the eighth when two were down and
no harm, resulted Micky OTBrien made
the swat, and it SO surprised him that
he tried to pilfer second on the next
pitched ball and Gus caught him a
mile.

proved a good friend, and when Man
ager Rowland saw what was coming
to him, he chased Gurney out to the
slaughter. But the Islanders could not
be stopped and when the game was
over smiles were worn on the faces of
the local fans
In the very first time at the willow
the champs commenced to win back
the game, and an error that Lejeune
made in catching Cooks long fly added
not a little, for it allowed the manager
to reach center station. He went to
third while Swain was being put out
at first. and came home on the two
sacker by Novacek. Novy played the
game with bum pin under him, got
a double, and made the star play of
the game. Guess that's going some for

team by a, score of. IL to II. Quite. a
crowd witnessed the game which proved
to be exciting at every stage and re.
quired 10 innings to decide the winner.
In the early part of the game the Con.
gregationalists had the best of it and
kept a good lead until the 9th inning
when the Methodists made two runs and
tied the. score. There was nothing doing
in the 10th for the Congregationalists,
but Wilson scored for the Methodists
and won the game.
The batteries were Wilson and Baird
for the Methodists. and Cannon and Fox
for the Congregationalists. Cannon was
strong seven innings but was forced to
give way to Michalson. the druggist,
who tailed to stop the Methodists' bat.

effective while the powder lasted. The
