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

After teasing them along for seven
and half innings yesterday, during
which time Danville made four runs
and became so chesty that the lot was
hardly big enough to hold them, the
islanders quit foOling and the hour of
retribution was hustled along fast and
furiously. When it was all over at
the end of the eighth the score stood
6 to 4 in favor of Rock Island, Tighe's
mea having piled up seven clean hits
and six tallies in the one session. It
was really hard blow for Danvilie
to take. after the way they acted up
until the Islanders half of the eighth.
Pitcher Benz was getting away III phe-
nomenal style considering that he
didn't seem TO have much in particu-
lar and the visitors had managed to
get enough opportune hits to drive
four men around the circuit. The
southerners displayed all kinds of pep
and ginger and after making their
first score began rubbing it into the
fans. Wolfe, the catcher, hit at wild
pitch in the second inning and was
so lucky as to get a three-sacker out
Of Il, and after that there was no liv-
ing with him until after the eighth.
At every Islander out he "ha-haed"
with an accent on both haws. As the
slaughter in the eighth kept up, how
ever, he loat his enthusiasm and sar-
oasn, and cocaine far more like a
lamb tLan : Wolfe.
