Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-08-11

Yesterdays game with Blooming
ton turned into a regular battle
which required IS innings to settle
and when it finally ended up the Is
landers were on top with a score OF
to 3. 1t took a regular old-fash-
toned 9th inning rally to turn the
trick as up to that session it was the
visitors game, but after the ninth
was past it soon became apparent
that it was only a question of time
until the champions would make the
score that would win the long drawn
out contest. Cavet started the work
on the mound for the Islanders and
enough hits were punched on him
in the fourth and fifth to count for
all three of the runs that the Bloom
ers made. Stark batted for Cavet
in the ninth and Lakaff was called
upon to fill the gap after that and
he did it to the queens taste. In
the four rounds that he officiated
not a single man reached first base
and he had the visitors helpless be-
fore him. Pendergast twirled a nice
game for Bloomington but after the
ninth the Islanders had his goat.
Pulled From the Fire.
Bloomington chased one man over
the pan in the fourth inning when
Melchoir hit, stole second and scored
on a drive to left field by Staten. In
the next Pug went wrong. passed
man and then threw wild to first
after picking up Keenan's bunt. That
let Madigan score and the Bloomer
boss rested on third. Long fouled
out but Roudebush laid down a bunt
and keenan, tailed. That made
three scores for the visitors and it
was all they got. The rest of the
time they were not even dangerous,
but even at that it looked like their
game when the ninth inning came
and the score was 8 to 1. The one
came in the sixth when OLeary dou-
bled to right and scored on Kelly's
single in the same place. The game
was tied up in the ninth however,
and safely pulled out of the fire.
Pendergnst Grows wild.
The visiting twirler got a little
ratified when after one was down in
the ninth, Vogel persistently refused
to swing at bad ones and the result
was that Otto got a walk. Stark
came into the game at this juncture
to bat for Cavet and his nice hit to
left field moved Otto to second. Cal
lahan fouled out and there were two
down, but Davidson repeated VogeI's
stunt and waited for a pass and got
it. That filled the bases and when
Manusch grounded one over second
two men scored despite a daring at
tempt by Roudebush that came with
in an ace of cutting off the hit.
In the 18th the champs filled the
bags without a single man being out
but the side was retired before a run
came over to win the game. La
kaff led with a hit and Callahan was
safe when Pendergast missed his
bunt. Davidson laid down another
bunt and beat it out. Manusch
grounded to Pendergast and Lakaff
was forced at the plate./ There was
still plenty of room for hope, however,
but this vanished in an instant
O'Leary grounded to keenan,, who
hurled it home and Erwin threw to
first in time to complete double.
Win Out In 18th.
In the 18th, supposed to be I'M
lucky, the champions won the game.
Vogel doubled to left field and La
kaff struck out. Callahan delivered
the goods, however, in the shape of
a single to center on which Otto
completed the circle and made the
winning run. The score:
