All sorts Of good playing and hit
ting marked the first game between
Decatur and Rock Island on the
home lot and the beauty of it was
that Rock Island scored another vic
tory, to 8. The score was close,

for fear that the visitors would
overcome the lead of the locals. And
they came mighty close to doing So,

was out. and then Bell was hit by
pitched ball. Mcguire scratched a
hit which bounded over Otto Vogel's
head and then Schroeder and Loft

.
of the tight place, but he proved
equal to the occasion and pulled a
hard fought contest out of the fire.
Throughout the contest Dollar had
the visitors at his mercy, no less
than 8 OF them popping out on easy
files. He famed five Of them and
was stingy with passes. The home
runs were both fine hits and as long
as the visitors refused TO choose
more opportune moments for them,
the fans were satisfied. On the
other hand, Schroeder was wild and
passed seven Islanders. Vogel and
Jacobsen hit out triples to the back
fence and they proved as valuable as
the visitors homers.
