Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-07-08

The Islanders lost yesterdays game
In the first seven innings, tied it in the
eighth, had chance to win in the 10th,
and then turned around and lost chance
again in the 18th 1t was a funny
game all the way through, one might
almost say a bum game had It not
been for some of the sensational plays
pulled off by the visitors, which
undoubtedly saved them the game.
The final count was 6 to 4 for Dan
vile when by all the signs of the 20
diac it should have been to 3 for
the islanders. In the 10th inning
there were three. of Tighe's men on
the bases without one down and with
the score tied, and yet the ball could
not be hit hard enough to allow the
winning run to come over the pan
Fate was against the champions.
though it was a long time before 1t
finally showed which side it was on.
visitors Score First.
The visitors were the first to score,
as was the case in the game Wednes-
day, and towards the finish it looked
mighty much as though the contest
was to be repetition of that contest,
as in fact it was as far as the score
goes, except that the count was re-
versed. In the fourth inning Danville
sent one man around the bases for
the first run on a two-base wild throw
to first by O'Leary of ball hit in
front of the plate, and & single to
center by Wolfe. In the seventh two
more were counted by the aid of a
pair of hits, an error by Slattery and
a base on balls
The champs got busy with the sco-e
to against them and in their matt
of the seventh one run was made.
O'Leary doubled and after two men
had failed to advance him Vogel de-
livered the poke to center and Dan
registered. In the next round the
score was tied by means of a base on
balls to Callahan, hits by Davidson
and Manusch and an error by Magee
at second. Cal and Davy crossed the
plate, making the score 8 TO 8.
Lose Game in Tenth.
While the game went II innings it
was really decided in the 10th. In the
first half of this round Danvt.ie
pushed one man across the pan, but
the Islanders came right back and in
about three minutes it looked as
though it was to be their game surely.
Callahan drew his second walk and
Davidson was safe on Stofer's error
Manusch for the second time
hunted so perfectly between
the pitcher and the third baseman
that it was an easy hit and the bases
were filled with none out. Slattery
looked them over carefully and drew
a pass which sent Callahan home
with the score that again tied the
game, and then O'Leary came up and
everyone thought it was all over but
the shouting. Right there is where
the whole thing fizzled, however. Dan
popped one up behind third and Fisher
ran across and captured it. Fisher did
more than that. He passed the ball, as
he returned, to Stofer, who pulled off
a college boy trick on Davidson, and
what is more, got away with it, After
passing the ball, Fisher pre-
tended to hand it to the pitcher,
who walked back to the box and goa
ready to pitch. No one saw that Stofer
had the ball, but every one
found it out a minute later when he
reached over and touched Davidson,
who had moved away from the bag in
preparation for scoring the run thai
was to win the game. That made It
two outs and the chance of a life time
was gone Kelly skied to right field
and the inning ended.
In the 18th DanviIle put two men
over the pan on three hits, an error
by Kohl and a wild pitch by Coucu-
man, and the game was over. as the
Islanders were unable to again tie it
up. The score:
