Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-07-01

Decatur at Peoria
Matters were sort of evened up at
Island City baseball park yesterday
when the locals made il three in a
row from Waterloo, reversing the
trick which was pulled off last week
by the Boosters on their home
grounds. The final score was to 3,
and though it would indicate to the
average fan close, hard fought
game, it was sluggish almost from
beginning to end. At that there were
enough plays of the sensational or
der to keep the fans guessing and
roofing enough to put a little life
into the contest. The Islanders, how
ever, outhit and outf1elded their OPP
ponents, though the two local pitch
ers used to sew up the game were
comparatively liberal with their free
transportation, while Hollenbeck for
Waterloo was too tight to pass a
man.
Dollar began on the high spot for
the local aggregation, but he lasted
only through four innings. Three
runs had been put across on him,
and that was enough to tie up the
Islander scores gernered in the first
stanza. Gondlng wisely sent Dollar
to the bench and Woods was trotted
out to relieve him. Woods allowed
one hit in his five innings, but he
walked four and one error put an
other man on base. However, he
was equal to the taks before him and
kept the visitors from scoring In
the last inning, with the head OF the
Waterloo list up, he struck out two
and the third bounded out, short to
first.
