| The Islanders made It three straigh
| from. the league leaders by taking Sat
Grday's game by to l count after
a most exciting pitchers battle be
tween Willis and Queisser. The Isl
ander twirler started off as though he
were not in form and the very first
mar up walked, but gradually f. D.
came apparent that, although not rs
steady as he usually is, he was pi;ca
| ing great ball, and when the contest
was over it was found that only three
hits had been made off him and that
only one of these was a real solid hit
the other two being scratchy affairs
Willis, however, did not let his Isl
ander rival cop all the glory in the
same, and he managed TO hold the
Islanders to four hits, one of which
was q scratch. The other three we're
good clean wallops which came at
exactly the right time. and the result
was that they counted for enough
runs to win one of the closest battles
that has been played here thus far
this year
Kelly Stars with Bat.
Harry Kelly, who incidentally has
! been playing in his old-time form for
the past week, was the star extraor
binary of the day in the batting de
partment His club brought in both
OF the Islander runs and each time
/ the hit was a dandy. O'Leary doubled
| to right in the second inning after one
was down. the ball going past Chap
man so fast that ne could hardly see
/ it. Kelly followed with another in
exactly the same spot and again Chap
man was dazzled by the speeding
sphere. OLeary covered the distance
! from second to home on the drive and
tho first run was in. That one scorc
ought to have been enough, but IL soon
was learned that another was needed.
In the fourth, Mclean got the one clean
hit that the Senators scored off Queis-
sec and when the latter made bad
/ reg to first to catch Johnson, both
men were safe. one on first and the
/ liner on second. Had Queisser made
/ a better throw Johnson would have
been out and when Chapman skied 20
center il would have retired the side
/ and the senators would have submit

Win I'm the Ninth.
After the fourth one scratch hit b.
j. hnson was all that Springfield could
set from Queisser and the Islanders
did little better, but when their one
additional hit did come. it won the
game. Manusch reached first base in

The particular feature OF the game
was the playing of Callahan in center

demon against Springfield and thus
far this year he has been an imJor-
tant factor in every defeat adminis-
