Fats have been supreme and this year

camp yesterday afternoon as the game
with the Dubuque Hustlers was round
ing the eighth inning, SO that at the
end of the stanza, 1t was found neces-
sary TO call the game with Dubuque
ahead, 10 o. It was the first victory
IN four games for the visitors and from
the class of ball that Rogge served up
and the support accorded him, they
had it coming. II was by far the best
game put up by the Dubuque team in
the series. Three former Islanders,
Paul Davidson, Medric Boucher and
Dow VanDine, were in the lineup for
Dubuque and each figured in the runs
with hit. Woods pitched for the Is
landers and in the second, third and
fifth innings, the visitors got to him
for a run each inning. After that. he
pitched classy ball. but it was too late
