Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-07-14


The Islanders evened it up with
Peoria yesterday for the defeat of
Tuesday, and the Distillers were sent
along on their journey with a 6 to 4
beating hung on them. Pug Cavet did
the twirling for the champions and ex-
cept in one inning he was master OF
the play. In the sixth round, though,
the Peorians managed to connect for
four safeties, two OF them pretty
scratchy affairs, and a pair of errors
aided the four hits in piling I'D four
scores. That was the sum total of the
visitors counting, and to offset it the
Islanders chased six men over the pan
9nd won the game. Rogers, who hurled
lot the visitors, enjoyed much the
same record as Pug, but when the ISL
anders did get to him in one inning
they refused to let up until they had
great sufficiency of scores. and be-
s.Ges this they had already sent one
man around the circuit in the very
first inning.
Get One in Hurry.
Callahan led off the game with a
base on balls and after Davidson had
skled to left, Manusch sent one down
tie left field foul line for a pair of
sacks and Callahan went 10 third.
Then Jacobs let one slip through his
fingers, and the Islanders each moved
UP a. notch, Callahan registering his
trademark on the plate. From then
on until the fifth it was a nice quiet
Islander victory by d narrow margin
n the fifth, however, the storm broke.
Cavet started the fun by hitting to
LEFT field and Callahan was safe when
Rogers fumbled his sacrifice bunt.
Davidson hit to third base and Pug
crossed home plate with the first
count of the inning while Davy went
on to second and Callahan to third
when Meyers threw wide to first in
an Intellectual attempt to cut off the
hit. Manusch laid one down in about
the same way and while Meyers drove
Callahan and Davy back to their
bases. the speedy Nanusch turned his
grOunder into a hit by reaching first
ahead of the throw. .SIattery grounded
% Smith and was thrown out at first
for the first putOut of the inning, but
Callahan prOfted by the play and
went home Stark followed with a hit
10 center field and Davidson scored
Kelly kept up the good work with
high double to right field and Manusch
registered and Stark nearly did so, but
was caught by a foot for the second
cut of the inning. Kohl brought Kelly
home with run five by hitting to left
field and then Vogel ended the inning
with a grounder to the second base
man.
DistiIIers Threaten.
In the following inning the PeOrians
went on the warpath and sent four
men around the circuit before a crimp
could be taken in their sails and the
Garage stopped. Rogers led with a
scratch hit, but was out at second on
Meyers grounder to VOgeI. Rowan hit
to center and the bases were filed
When Kohl let an easy roller go
though him, a play which should have
resulted in a double out. Johnson
forced Moore at second, but Meyers
scored when a fruitIess attempt was
made TO run Johnson down between
first and second base when he started
to steal. Smith followed with a hit
TO center on which Rowan and John
son scored and the batter went to
tEird when Callahan let the drive get
past him and roll clear to the back
fence. Biltz drew an infeld hit to
second base which scored Smith and
the fourth Peoria run. That ended il,
as Davidson pulled down Jacobs long
IL in sensational manner. The visit
rr5 became dangerous again in the
DeXt inning when a twO-bagger and
single were made by the first two men
up. but Cavet settled down to bust
ness then and the next three men
were retired without anyone having
scored. The score:
