Perfect control, ability to keep
port yesterday helped Bull Lakaff
win the third game in a row for the
Islanders. The Boosters were de-
seated in the second game Of the
series on the Islander lot to 1.
Lakan has been in the game only
for a few days, having Just recover
ed from a sprain of his ankle. II IL
the second game in which he has
worked since his injury. The rest
evidently did him good. He had all
kinds of steam and control and the
Waterloo batters were powerless to
hit the ball enough to pound in any
runs. Their only tally was the re-
suit of a wild throw and an error by
Gonding. Lakaff walked not a man
and sent nine of them back to the
bench via the whit route.
PATToN's DEBUT HERE.
For Waterloo, Patton was on the
mound. 1t is his first appearance
before the local fans this season, but
he failed to show much in the pitch
ing line. Eleven bingles were gath
cred of his delivery. It is true that
really earned, but at that the locals
BAD quite an edge on him. They
made every one of the hits except
two count in the run-getting. Only
three were whitfield by Patton. The
game was a pretty fair exhibition of
ball, though not quite as fast as
the two previous contests here. 1t
helps in the boost toward the next
step on the ladder in the percentage
column, though It does not advance
the locals as far as position in that
column is concerned.
NO HIT FOR TWO INNINGS.
For the first two innings 1t looked
though Patton had some
ding when six Islanders were
retired without a hit, while one liv-
ed at first on an error by Nagel. But
In the third pair of hits and a
wild heave by Patton sent a pair of
runs across the pan. Two men were
down AZ the time. Wooley, third
man ar OaU, hit a hard one to Pat
ton and 1t bounded away. just out
OF reach OF the felders. Davidson's
hit sent Wooley to third and then
Davy stole second. Patton, in a vain
effort to retire Clynes by striking
him out, threw the wild pitch which
allowed Wooley and Davy to score.
In the next inning Vogel, first up,
famed, and Slattery hit to right gar
: den for two sacks. Kelly popped
out to Maggie and Snyder hit to cen
ter, scoring Stats. The throw from
Collins to the plate to head off Stats
was intercepted by Patton, who
threw to second in time to- catch
Heinie there and retire the side.
TWO MORE IN FIFTH.
In the fifth stanza two more were
annexed by the locals. Gonding was
safe on an infield bit to short and
was sacrificed to second by Lakaff
Gonding played well on second and
Nagle covered the bag. Patton
threw wide to retire Gonding and the
ball went to the field. Gonding reach

center for a base and Wooley went
to third. Patton threw to first to
catch Davy. but the peg was wide
again and Wooley scored. Clynes
