the break in the Islanders losing
streak.
The Islanders got their base running
signals mixed yesterday, and as a re-
suit five of them were caught on the
bags. Eng was caught off first just
before Hardins' home run. One wise
one said he ought to have stuck to the
bag and waited, evidently forgetting
that had Gus been on first base. Hardin
would have hunted instead of hitting
it out, and the home run would not
have been forthcoming.
Sir Richard was cordially welcomed
home in the ninth when he tried 20
squeeze in with Nlilsap at bat. He
didn't fool or disconcert either Hardin
or Eng. The former threw the ball
over the batters head and Gus nabbed
it and waited for the Springfield boss

With their chief back in harness and
George Hardin's arm working in the
proper style, the Islanders broke their
losing streak yesterday afternoon at
the expense of Springfield, the final
count being 2 to 1. The game looked
like Rock Islands from the very start,
as Hardin opened things up by striking
out the first three men to face him.
George had it on the Senators all
through the game, and the five hits
which were made off his delivery came
i'm as many different innings. In the
nine sessions Is of the Senatorial ag
gregation with the pennant aspirations
famed the atmosphere thrice in their
vain attempts TO locate the elusive
sphere Hardin had too much speed
for the visitors and they often struck
IA the ball after it was safely slowed
away in Gus Eng's grabber.
Is There with the stick.
Hardin gained the honors of the day,
not only by his twirling, but also by
his stick work which brought in one
of the runs of the locals. George has
the honor of making the first home run
of the year on the Rock Island field.
In the third inning, with one man gone,
he slammed one down the first base
line which curved out of the playing
field after striking in fair territory,
and lost itself under a dray which was
laid up by the fence. Milsap made
heroic efforts to get the ball, but his
attempts were useless, as it was under
to stay, and the pitcher trotted over
the pan with the first run of the game
and the first home run of the season.
Then, and not until then, would the
ball make its appearance. 1t peeked
out from its place of concealment and
laughed at Milsap so loudly that the
latter heard it and picked it up. My!
but Dick Smith did cuss under his
breath until the air turned blue.
Visitors Secure One.
The lone run of the visitors came in
the fourth inning, when Bergers error
gave Callahan life at first and allow
ed him to go TO second. Milsap's dou.
BILE =. minute later scored the one tally
of the Senators. They made heroic
effort in the ninth, Smith getting a
two-Sacker and being sacrificed tC
third He then tried to work the
squeeze play, but Hardin was wise and
threw one that Milsap, who was at the
bat, couldn't touch, with the result that
Dick virtually ran in and allowed Eng
TO tag him.
Mcbride Poles a Peach.
The run scored by the Islanders in
their half of the seventh inning won
the game for the locals. Mcbride
opened with a beautiful three-base hit
The ball was padded about as hard a:

SIZE Il Up

The man who can get any har-
mony out of the election forecasts
of the different candidates is good
one. The Press made a survey of
the field today and the candidates
were asked to give their most con-
sentative estimate of the result and
the answers are as varied as they
are interesting Each man claims
the victory by substantial major
ity. Senator Hutchinson, however
says it's up to the people. If they
want him they'll get the best there
is in him.
Here is the Fassett claim made
by Harry Rhodes:
THE outlook is fine. and | have
no reason to change my former esti'
mate of 5000 votes or better for
Fassett. Our strength is increasing
every day as a result of the strenu-

OLD LIES FOR
NEW VOTERS

Time was when the Spokesman
Review started fight on a political
candidate that "a knock wa q
boost" There have been memora-
Bile fights in Spokane in which this
is well remembered. There is one
class of voters in the city. however,
who are not posted on the Review
policy in campaigns and this class
is the new voters who have come to
the city by the hundreds.
To these voters the vindictive-
ness of the attacks and insinuation
against Senator r. A. Hutchinson is
not known. If the new voter cares
to learn just how the tall tower or
gan stands In relation to the cam
paign he has but to ask the older
Spokane men who have followed
the game through all it's stages.
Abuse and insinustion Is the long
suit of the Review and bold state
ments quoted from "a prominent
citizen" are the articles used to
clinch arguments based ON a filmy
hypothesis. The old birds are not
fooled but unless the new arrivals
take the trouble to investigate the
fight on Hutchinson personally and
seek the animus they will be mis-
lead and badly mislead.

Plan to Name ONO in Or,
der to Insure Election
of Pratt.

Indications are that an effort will
be made to throw Fassetts strength
to ONO In the primaries unless Fas-
sett's prospects of landing the re-
publican nomination for mayor
brightens immensely between now
and Tuesday.
The object of nominating ONO
would be to assure the election of
Jratt, on the other end of the Fas-
sett-Pratt combination.
Either Fassett or Pratt are &C.
ceptable to the republicans working
the federated committee plan of
campaign.
They figure that Pratt could beat
ONO, but are not at all certain Pratt
could beat Hutchinson.
OF course the principal object Of
the campaign is to beat Hutchinson.
The Spokesman-Review issues or
ders to that effect every morning.
But the Reviews inordinate ca
pacity for Heterogeneous lying
are being tested heavily without
producing any market increase in
the Fassett prospects. 1t looks
more dubious every day.
Hence the final resort of using
Fassett as a dummy, a factor by
the way, kept largely In view for
use on either man when the double
barrefed ticket was launched.
1t is taken as granted that Pratt
will beat Laumer on the democratic
side and thus hold intact that end
of the combination.
If Fassett can't hold up his end
he'll have to take the consequences
and everything his Support can car
ry away will be dumped in Pratt's
backyard.
Then 1t will be hurrah boys for
Pratt, the spotless, against ONO,
the black sheep.
