the name has been variously account

The second inning proved to be
Ficken's undoing, for after the er-
ror came the scores, and then the
deluge
Koepping had five hits in six
chances in the second game. Chap
man had four in the same number of
opportunities.
1t is the first time in years that
the Prods have had their inning.
Furthermore, it makes our old
friend, Daniel, solid in PretzelvilIe.
Queisser made a beautiful catch of
a foul popup in the first game. He
snatched the ball just a few feet
from the extreme west section of
the grandstand.
Kelly and Lakaff were out in uni
forms yesterday for the first time
since they were injured. 1t will not
be long till they are both in the game
again. Kelly was sent in twice yes
terday to bat for the pitchers, but
could not connect safely.
Manager Gonding caught Coleman
off first base in the third stanZa of
the first game. Coleman was first
man up. He was hit in the ribs.
Stats was playing up for sacrifice
bunt and Coleman took a big lead.
A perfect throw to Vogel, who COW
cred the sack, had the big catcher
by several feet.
The Islanders arrived here yester-
day morning at 4:30 from Waterloo.
That fact counted a great deal in the
second game, which was a sluggish
contest as well as a SUGGEST for Dav-
export. They were going all right
in the first game, but the heat and
their lack of rest told heavily in the
second.
