After battling II rounds yester-
day at the local grounds with the Ke-
vance team of the Central associ-
alton Otto Vogel and Manager Bill
Carney of the Islanders tired of the
way things were going and they won
the game so speedily that it was all
over IN b minute. There was one
hdown in the 18th when Vogel came
TO bat. Otto selected one of Pitcher
Kadjens Blenders that looked good
E1o him and drove It as far as can be
Sdone without knocking it out Of the
ilot. 1t went to the extreme north
west corner OF the field and when
the Kewauee left fielder finally got
# back to the diamond. Otto was on
third. II was a beautiful line drive
that would have been going yet had
St not been stopped by the board
fence. Then Bill Carney stepped to
the plate and raped out the winning
single before Otto had had time to
get his breath after his run around
the circuit. Bills hit was a liner
over the shortstop's head in the same
direction as Otto's bingle.
REGULAR SAND LOT BALL
Except for their hitting in the
third and 18th innings, the Island
ers appeared to be kidding the Wis
itors into thinking they had a
chance. The errors that were made
were as excusable as errors can ever
he said TO be, but there was a con-
siderable amount of town lot ball in

LOSES TO COLLEGE
Rock Island High School Team
Banked by St. Ambrose
at Davenport Grounds.
PILE UP FOURTEEN RUNS
Local Hurlers Unable to Put Fool
ers Over the Pan-Passes
Plentiful Also.

Rock Island high school baseball
team went TO Davenport yesterday af-
ternoon and met the St Ambrose col
lege team on the latter's ground.
When the game was called at the end
of the seventh inning the collegians
had chaIked up a total of IA runs. on
II hits and six errors by the high
school team, while the locals were
held runless, with but four stingy hits
to their credit While Reeves is a
wonder for his size and experience. he
has neither the head nor speed for a
high school team. He was taken out
at the end of the third inning after
five hits and as many bases on balls
had been chiefly responsible for seven
runs for the collegians. Whistler, who
succeeded him, did little better Gle
mann was used behind the bat
throughout the game by Coach Har-
mon, and while unsteady at times, he
caught a fair game. Willet was used
at short and third, and a rank de-
cision by Think-It-Over' Gaffney
robbed him of an assist on the only
chance he got. When Reeves was
taken out, Smith was put on third
base, and the little fellow proved he
had the goods by getting a nice single
the first time he came to bat. Calkins
and Townsan each got their customary
hit.
Hughes of Ambrose proved that he
was some pitcher, holding the locals to
four hits, passing but two men, and
striking out eight. Portell was the
heavy-ticker, getting four hits in so
many times at bat, and scoring three
runs. Murphy also distinguished him
self with a three-bagger into right
field with two men on the bases. The
collegians also played a pretty game
in the field, Brown and Crowley, who
alternated at first base, making the
only errors.

SMITH AND HOFER
IN ISLANDER CAMP
Report to Manager Carney and Are
Ready for Workouts-Snyder
Absent from the Fold.

Catcher Pepper" Smith and
Pitcher Hofer. the latter the young
amateur from Iowa, have joined the
Islander squad and are ready for
duty. Hofer will be given a trial
shortly and if reports about him are
true he stands a good chance of get
ting a regular berth with Manager
Carney's team. The club officials
are at a loss to understand the con-
tinued absence of Roy Snyder, the
lite Islander shOrtstop. Roy has
written several letters and an
nounced that he would be here the
following day, but as yet he has fail
ed to put in an appearance. 1t is no
longer a question of salary that is
holding him back, as he has reached
an agreement with the association.
1t is presumed that he is holding to
his winter job in Bloomington I'M
til he is sure that the Three-Eye
league is a go.

ored players, hung it on Davenport
yesterday by a score of to 1 after
an exciting contest. The visitors took
the lead early in the game by bunch
ing hits and getting two scores. Daven-
port threatened continuously to score,
but could not get the needed hits at
the proper time. Lund led off three
times with a single and was sacrificed
to second in each instance, but only
once did he cross the pan, Coleman
securing a two-sacker on the first &C
casion. For the most part Williams,
the big colored pitcher, was invinci6le
in the pinChes. In the ninth the Dav-
exporters came near tying the score
after two were down, but the runner
was nipped at the plate by a pretty
throw-in from left field. O'Leary act
ed in the role of the white mans hope
by batting in the ninth for Pitcher
Crab. Dan poked out a saftey and Oh
land followed with another, but Weis-
enstein, who was running for Coleman,
tried to go home from second on the
bingIe and he fell short by 10 feet
Davenport made seven hits to the
Giants three and made three errors
to the Giants one.
