Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-06-09

Peoria at Dubuque.
The champions hung up their
seventh straight victory yesterday
afternoon at the expense of Danville.
the score being I to 3. After the very
first inning it was apparent that it was
going TO be the Islanders game, as
they showed at the start that they
were on the job and were out to win,
while the curves and shoots Of Pitcher
Benz had no ferrors for them.
Cavet did the slab work for the
champs and while his work was not
gilt-edged, it was more because he did
not have to exert himself than that
the visitors were making 1T hot for
him. He just sort of ambled along,
retiring the side in all but two innings
without them getting any men across
the plate. They scored one man in
the initial round almost before Pug
was on the job, but after that they
were helpless until he let up in the
eighth and allowed them to get two
more men over the rubber just to
make the Danville rooters think that
their team was still in the running.
One Hit Brings Score.
Pug opened up by throwing four
wide ones 20 Madigan, the first man
up in the first inning, and Magee
dumped one down that pushed Madi-
gan to second. Fisher followed with
a line drive over second, on which
Mad.gan scored, the throw in from
center being a second too late and a
yard too wide. Fisher went to second
on the throw and reached third when
Burns grounded to Slattery, but that
ended the run-getting until the eighth.
In that session Pug became generous
again and issued a walk TO Fisher,
who led off. Burns hit for one base,
driving Fisher to third and. after
StaIey and Sullivan had each sue
cumbed to Cavet's twisters, Hide
brand Strengthened one out that
brought two runs over the pan. 1t was
a vain effort. however, as the Island
ers were so far in the lead that there
was little chance of ever getting with
in sight of them. and the scores mere
ly made the champs feel more like
playing. In the last round all three
men were retired in order and there
were no more chances for the tail
enders to make trouble for Pug
How Islanders Scored.
After seeing the visitors take the
lead in the first half of the opening
inning the Islanders came right back
and more than got even. Three men
were rushed over the pan before the
third one was put out. Hunter and
Manusch had both succumbed when
the music was started by Callahan,
who worked Benz for four wide ones
Stark drove a hot one to HUMPHREYS
on third and was credited with a hit
when the ball took a bad hop just as
it reached the fielder and escaped his
grasp. The play put Callahan on third,
as he had previously stolen second,
and after Stark had pulled off a neat
steal of the middle cushion, Slattery
banged one on the nose and sent the
ball scooting out into right field. Cal
lahan and Stark both scored on the
drive. Stats stole second and reached
third on Fishers bungle of Kelly's
drive. KeIl started to steal and drew
a throw which Magee dropped. and
Stats crossed the pan with the third
score of the inning.
Three Hits in Fourth.
Two men were down again in the
fourth inning when the music of safe
Dingles commenced and resulted in
the fourth of the champions scores.
Kohl smashed out a two-sacker and
VOgel followed with d safe drive into
left. Cavet followed with a duplicate
of Otto's drive and Kohl reached home
nicely
In the seventh an error and four
safeties in a row counted four more
tallies for the Islanders Cavet
reached first by grace OF Fisher and
then Hunter, Manusch, Callahan and
Stark hit in succession and four men
scored All the hits except that of
Marusch were singles, the drive |
MaIusch sent out being for two sacks. !
