Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-07-30

Not a minute was wasted by the
klanders in yesterdays game before |
Ahey got right after victory and the
6antest was seWeS up tightly in the
t.'sx sSsa. fAsssr; ~ q score Of to 0.
..ne Easss GA NOT STOP there, but the
scoring did. despite the fact that both
teams battled desperately for eight
innings thereafter in an attempt to
send runs over the plate. The Island
ers had all the best of the argument,
however, and only one of the Boosters
reached third, while the champions
threatened to score several times and
only sensational plays in the Waterloo
olItfield by Retdy prevented them from
aiding to the three tallies which were
made In the first round. Reidy pulled
of his stunts in the fourth and eighth
rounds, and both times he prevented
islanders from crossing the rubbed.
In the fourth, with Kelly on second,
Vogel drove to center and the poke
would have been good for two sacks
ordinarily. Reidy came in fast how
ever, and picked it off his shoetops,
although the reach caused him to roll
over and over after getting hold of the
ball. In the eighth, with Davidson on
second, OLeary poled one down in the
groove between left and center and
again Reidy dove for it after long
run and hung on, efectually prevent
ing a score.
Islanders Bunch Hits.
The champs took Pitcher Clark |
measure in the very first round, start |
ing with the first man up, and almost |
with the first ball pitched Callahan |
led with beautiful drive over second, |
and after he had stolen second, David
son accepted free transportation. Ma
nUsch dropped bunt down the third
Ease line and moved both men along,
and Slattery banged one on the nose
That was dead ringer for Calls pretty
drive. Cal scored and Davidson went
to third. Quick work on Reidy's part
prevented him from coming home
OLeary followed with a poke into left
field and Davy scored, while Stats
went to second. Kelly followed with
another safe bingle into left and the
champs first sacker tailed It ought |
Snyder bounced one down to first base
on which O'Leary should have scored, |
but he neglected to slide into the bag
and was caught by a hair VogeTs |
long drive to right ended the round. |
Is Pretty Contest.
After the first inning, the game be- |
came pretty contest between the |
pitchers, and while both allowed three
hits after the first inning, Dick was
really the more effective of the two, |
ard he was never in any real danger !
OK being scored on. Better hit in the |
second, but O'Leary nipped him nicely |
when he attempted to pilfer second |
La g singled in the fourth but persisted |
ct first while two of his teammates |
bit the dust. Reidy, after making his |
sensational catch at Vogels expense, |
celebrated by opening the fifth with a |
two-sacker, but he died on third when |
the third man went down and out.
For the Islanders, Kelly made two
hts after the first inning and David |
son poled the other, but the rest of
the men were unable to bring them
around, thanks to Mr.. Reidy. Kelly, |
by the way, was the hitting kid, he
having made three singles, everyone
o. them nice clean ones, and his per-
centage for the game was 1000. |
Neither team made an error through
out the contest and all things consid4
cred the game was dandy Score:
