Rock Island at Waterloo.
Dubuque at Davenport

After dropping three straight games
by decisive scores TO the Islanders
and apparently being IN a fair way to
get the short end of the fourth con
test, the poor down rrodden Pretzels
finally had their inning yesterday aft
ernoon and they took vengence upon
Rock Island for the treatment accord
ed them up to that time. The game
was q joke after the Pretzels once
got started and they ran wild on the
bases thanks TO six errors made by the
Islanders who seemed to have caught
the spirit OF the thing and were at
tempting 10 lot the OLearyftes win a
game. The final count was 9 to Z.
Whiteside, Lakan and Hofer all took
their turn IN the box in an attempt TO
stop the Davenporters but they were
not to be denied They made seven of
their scores In The last three innings,
two OF Whftesida. three on Lakaff and
two moro OF Hofsr.

thesvery first round and It looked like
a sure thing for them until the sixth
round when the count was tied
through some loose work. Davenport
then drew away ahead and in the
ninth It was 8 to 4 against the Island
ers. A desperate batting rally gave
the Islanders three scores and had
either Stevens or Slattery been able
TO get a hit. the tally would have
been tied but they both failed and the
game ended.
Frank Dick opened up on the
mound for Davenport by passing the
first two men. Clynes then dumped
one down the first base line and Kelly
threw wild to third in an effort TO stop
VogeI. The result was that both Vo-
gel and Hunter scored and CIynes
went to second. Stevens sacrificed
and sent Clynes to third and the latter
ought TO have scored on Slattery's
drive TO center. but it looked so much
like a hit that he failed TO remain on
third and when Ohland stabbed the
ball with one hand. Olynes did not
have time TO get back to third and
then home before the ball could be re-
turned
Make DESPERATE RALLY.
In the third inning Vogel walked
and Hunter forced him at second but
was safe himself at first A wild pitch
allowed Hunter to go 10 second and
by some fast running he scored on
Clynes' hit TO center. IN the fifth
Whiteside led with a two-saok drive
into left field and Vogel hunted and
moved him to third. Hunter hit back
OF second and Whitley scored The
ninth inning witnessed a desperate
batting rally which resulted IN three
scores and came near tying up the
game. Quiesser, batting for Sny-
der led with a hit and Custer
followed with a two-sacker. Jacobsen.
batting for HOfer, grounded to third
and Bromw1ch erred but recovered in
time TO hold Queisser at third. Hun
ter then grounded TO Chapman and
Kelly erred at first letting Queisser
score. Clynes followed with his fourth
hit of the game. a two-sacker into
right field and two scored. That left
Hunter and Clynes on the circuit and
only one down and the chances We're
bright for tying the score, but the
necessary hit was not forthcoming
and the game went by the boards
