DdnFAIle at dubuque.
Springfield and Waterloo at Deca-
tUr.
The winning streak of the Peoria
team came to An abrupt end yester-
Gay afternoon when Manager Bill
Carney's men trimmed the visitors
at the local park by a score of to
after IL innings OF battling, the
like of which is seldom seen. The
Islanders simply refused to loose and
they used their bats to drive in runs
until a lead of three had been over
come and the winning tally had been
made. It was an interesting game to
watch, for there was not one dull
moment in it. True, the Islanders
made several bad boobies. one of
which almost cost the game, but
Kelly, who was responsible for this,
was The batting hero Of the day new
ertbeless and his four hits aided ma
teriaIly in the scoring of the Island
er runs, while his three-sack drive
in~the 18th finished the contest.
WHITLEY RUNS TOO HARD.
Roy Whiteside, the young Molin-
er, was the selection of Manager Car
ney for the duties OF slabman. He
deserved to get away with a clean
victory. Up to the eighth he was
effective, only one man having scor-
ed and most OF the hits that had
been made were of the scratchy,
dumpy variety. In the seventh Roy
got to first on a base on balls and
was chased at top speed to third on
Vogel's two-base liner TO center field.
The running was his undoing. When
he returned to the box he was shaky
and the visitors got busy. At that
Whitley might have gotten away
without a run being made had It not
been for Kelly's error-KeI who lost
the game and then won It back later or
Three men were on the sacks and one
was down when Jacobs grounded to
Kel. Harry scopped the ball beau
tifully but threw home in
hurry so that a double could be
made by forcing the runner at home
and at first. His throw was wild,
however, two men scoring and be-
fore tho team could settle down
again three more runs came over the
pan. The round ended with Myers
drive to Stevens. With the five runs
IN the eighth and the one in the sec
ond. Peoria looked good to win
against any team but the Islanders-ns
the score was 6 to 3.
ISLANDERS LAMBAsT BALL.
The hitting OF the Islanders to-
wards the close of the game
was terrific. They started II
slowly TO fathom the shoots Of
innings TO make four hits. Com
mencing with the sixth, they were
next. and the way they batted the
ball over the lot was caution. The
visitors score made IN the first in
ming was tied in the fourth on a pair
of hits and some nice base running.
Hunter led of with a perfect bunt,
on which he easily reached first
Clynes forced him at second, but was
safe himself at first. He stole sec
ond and went to third on Stevens
out at hrst. Slattery delivered the
necessary bingIe and Jack romped
home. In the sixth. after one was
down Hunter again hunted safely
and clynes smacked out q hit that
put the speedy little fellow on third
scored from there on Stevens fly to
right field, Clynes going TO third on
the play Slattery again delivered
end Clynes scored. That made the
score 8 to l and had it not been for
Whitey's chase around the circuit IN
the next inning that would probably
have been the final count
MAKE GARRISON FINISH.
The real excitement OF the game
did not commence until after that
fatal eighth inning in which Peoria
went into the lead by q count OF
10 S. The islanders came right
hack in their half Of the round and
tied the game up good and tight.
Clynes lined out his second hit and
after Stevens had skied to left. Stats
got a walk. Kelly hit TO right and
