Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-08-04

The second of the series with the
Davenport team went the same way as
the first, directly into the camp of the
Islanders, and while the Prods did man.
age to get several men over the pan,
they had absolutely nothing to brag
about in doing it as two of the three
were handed to them on a golden plat
ter. The final count was to 3, and
from the way the Islanders started the
music it ought to have been a thous-
and to nothing Max Smith-the in
comparable Max-opened the game for
the Pretzels, but was not equal to the
occasion. The champs owed him moth
Ing, and no attempt was made to spare
him, and the result was that in the
Tour rounds he lasted, just nine hits
were made off him. In the fifth he was
stabbed, with the bases full and no one
down. Nelson took his place on the
firing line and did a little better than
his predecessor, but not enough so that
it counted in any way.
Cavet Runs Too Fast.
Pug Cavet did the hurting for the
Islanders for something more than
seven innings, and then he went to the
bad completely after having been near
ly there for about three innings. It
was all because Pug ran too fast. Dav
export has one extremely effective way
of putting Islander pitchers to the bad,
and that is to let them hit the ball so
hard that it becomes necessary for
them to run the bases and tire them
selves out. That is what Pug did. In
the third inning he came home from
first base on Davidson's double, and
after that he was shy all his control
while in the box. Couchman was call
ed to the front in the eighth inning
with the bases full of Prodigals and
only, one of them down. Bob turned
the trick, however, with. strikeout
and high fly, and in the ninth he held
the enemy safe, and the game was
tucked away nicely on the right side
of the percentage column.
Islanders Hit Hard.
Tighe's men were out to get some
ones scalp, and poor, weak, old Max
Smith was sent out to be the victim.
In the first inning Max got away with
it nicely, but the music started in the
next. After that it was easy money
In the third Vogel led with a hit and
Cavet followed with another. David
son chased both of them the remainder
of the distance around the circuit with
a two-sacker to right center. A pair of
bingles in the next was eloquent for
what was to happen in the fifth. In
this session five Islanders, commencing
with Vogel and including Cavet, Gala
han, Davidson and Manusch, hit the
ball safely and three runs resulted. AT
ter the first three hits were made,
Smith was junked and Nelson came in
The three runs then were tailed, and
enough scores had been made to win

PrOds Handed Two.
The Davenport aggregation secured
all three of their runs in the same in
ming that the champs scored their last
three and two of the needful were
handed to them. With one down, Mel
son hit to left and Ohland drew a base
on balls. Darringer scratched a hit,
and the bags were full. An attempt to
