A long drawn out contest, in which
two records went by the boards, was
played yesterday afternoon at the local
park by the Islanders and the Du-
buque aggregation, and the visitors
finally COPIED the peanuts by a score
of to 2. The game lasted 10 full in
nings, and thereby a new record for
the season was set, but better than
this, Pug Cavet, who twirled for the
losers, set an even better record, one
which in all probability is worlds
record. In the 10 sessions he struck
out % men, and had he been able to
keep up the pace that he went for the
first IL innings of the game, he might
have had an even better record, for
in the first II rounds he allowed only
two hits and but one run. The visi-
tors fell upon him in the 14th and 10Th
innings, however, and in the final one
an unfortunate combination of two
hits with two errors lost the game for
the Islanders.
Pug the Whole Show.
The truth of the matter is that Pug
for his teammates were not up to
snuff at the hitting game, and at least
three brilliant chances to win the game
were allowed to slip by. Pug pitched
and pitched, and then pitched some
more, and he was in fine form nearly
all the time, although he had really a
bad session in the first inning. After
two were down he passed two in a
row, and then hit two more, forcing
one over the plate without hit hav-
ing been made off him. After that he
settled down, and it was not until the
14th that another run was made off
him, and then it was the result of one
long drive over the west fence. Char
ley Buelow did the business, but there
was no one on base to profit by the
drive and Charley had to trot around
the circuit all by his lonesome. Pug
LET down for a minute and allowed Two
more singles before retiring the side.
but after the game had been tied up
again, he was back on the JOB strong
once more.
How Islanders Scored.
The Islanders made their first run in
the fifth inning, when Slattery opened
with a two-sacker, and went to third
on KeIly's out at first. Snyder failed
to deliver, but Vogel slammed hot
one to Pitcher Akers which the visit
ing slabman could not handle, and
Stats counted In the 14th, when a run
was needed to tie up the game and
save it for the time being, Manusch
hit and stole second. OLeary and
Slattery failed to advance him, but
Kelly produced healthy wallOp be-
tween second and first which Jasper
could not stop, and the speedy George
came home before the ball was fielded.
There were no more tallies made by
the Islanders, although they had nu-
merous chances where a hit would
have won the game. The batter in
variably fell down before Akers, how
ever, and the winning Islander run
was not forthcoming.
Error Is Costly.
Lerchen opened the 10Th with poke
TO Vogel, who failed by an inch to
throw the runner out at first Boucher
followed with a grounder down the
first base line which Stats stopped
enough for Vogel to get, but Otto FUN
bled the ball several times, and finally
dropped It altogether, and failed to get
Boucher That put two on the sacks
Akers hunted to Cavet, who threw the
runner out at third The latter slid in
under Kelly and knocked him off his
