Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-08-14

Danyille at Waterloo.
But for the decision of Umpire Gu
sack in favor Of Peoria in the fifth
inning of the second game yesterday
afternoon at Island City park, Rock
Island would have divided the double
bill with the visitors AS it happen
ed, Peoria COPIED both of the e1hibi-
tons, the first by a to ! score, and
the second by a TO , score. The
second game went for II long in
nings. and by the time it was over,
the fans who crowded the stand and
bleachars had had enough Of the ma
tionaI pastime for y days At the
end Of the ninth inning the score
was tied. . to .. In the 11rh stanza.
hits and misplays gave Peoria five
runs. The best that the Islanders
could do n their half was to secure
q trio Of runs.
E.T.E.T.Y LOSES TEMPER.
II the fifth inning Sits was on sec
ond and while Woods was winding
up he dashed for third. Gonding
threw 10 Kelly and he put the bail
on sis CUsack called the runner
safe. though no one else saw it his
way. Goaded on by what he thought
VS. an unfair decision, Kelly lost his
temper and while Steve was walking
away, he threw the ball at him. It hit
him in the back. He went back af-
ter Kelly but the PLAYER was ready
for fight. Cusack ordered him OF
the field. The burst Of temper was
the climax for the IslandeT5. Both
games we're chuck full Of plays on
their part which. although they we're
not errors, cost Rock Island both
- games.
SUPPORT LACKING.
With good support. both Lakaf
and Woods would have won their
games. for both pitched magnificent
ball all the way through Lakaf
pitched the first contest and allow
ed eight hits. All four runs were
the result of hits by the Distillers,
coupled by the costly errors and mis-
plays of the locals. Woods was even
stingier with his hits and allowed
only four. up 10 the 18th inning.
Three of those were punched in one
Inning, but at that had the ball been
fieIded with rapidity, no run would
have resulted The other run came
on a hit and two sacrifices, coupled
with the steal of Sits.
The only run for the islanders was
the result Of a three-sack drive by
vogel and a sacrifice fly by Kelly. In
every inning but one, batsmen
either hit of Tammen or walked, but
II was impossible to produce the nee
essary biugle to push them around
the circuit In the eighth. three men
were on base and only one was down.
Slattery skied out to right and Vo-
gel grounded out. In the ninth, two
were on after two were down and
again there was no score.
DISTILLERS LUCKY.
On the other hand. as soon as one
OF the Distillers reached first, every
thing worked in their favor and it
was not a hard matter for them TO
win. Their first run was the result
of a two-sack drive by Jacobs, an in
field out. and an error by NOgel. In
the next inning. the fourth, Myers
lived on an infield hit which was
too hot for Lakaff TO handle, though
he stopped it from going TO the field.
Veach sacrificed and SITS hit 10
right. While Sherer was holding the
ball, Myers scored. After Clark was
out, Jacobs hit to left, scoring Sits,
who had stolen second. The other
run was in the sixth. NeaCh hit TO
right for base and Sherer failed TO
grab the sphere as it bounded to-
ward him. The result was that
Neach reached third on the error.
Sits hit TO center. scoring VeaCh. The
next three men up were easy outs.
