MANAGER CARNEY is
FORCED TO UMPIRE
Otherwise There Would Have Been
No Game Yesterday at Island
City Baseball Park.

President A. r. Tearney's failure
to have one Of his regular umpires
here to hold the indicator during the
last two days is 10 be deprecated, as
ii put Rock Islands management in
a bad hole. Monday the umpiring
was done by players and the result
was anything but satisfactory 10
both sides. Yesterday when IL came
time 10 start the game and no UNI
pire was on hand, Manager Carney
held a conference with Manager Nc
Carthy. Mccarthy absolutely refus-
ed 10 umpire himself or let any Of
his players officiate. He also object
ed 10 any Rock Island players other
than Carney himself, and in order
that the fans who had come out 10
witness a game night not be disap-
pointed Carney finally consented TO
serve. He tried to be square. Car
ney stated this morning that he
would never consent 10 such an ar
rangement again, II IL resulted in the
game not being played.

Humes brushed up and retired two BY
the strikeout route, and then walked
Sullivan and filed the bases. Fisher
came to bat and after driving out a
wicked foul which resulted in a bro
ken bat he chose another stick and
lined one out far over Clynes' head.
Jack turned and ran with the ball
without looking until he felt that he
was about under 1t and then turned.
The sphere was still pretty high In the
air. He made a jump for II and cuffed
1t down with one hand Then for an
instant occurred a juggling feat, the
like of which has seldom been seen.
While chasing the ball and Juggling it
from one hand to the other, the Dan
Vile base runners were crossing the
plate In rapid succession, but their tai
lies were all wiped out when Clynes
finally got q good grasp on the bali
and held 1t. The catch was one of
the most spectacular ever witnessed
at Islander City park and the outieId-
er merited the hand he got upon com
ing in.
ALMOST TIE 1T UP.
The islanders made two runs in the
seventh and eighth innings and maj
aged to I'LL the bases in the ninth, at
which time hit would have probably
won the game. The bingle was not
produced, however, and the game
went by the boards. In the seven b
Slattery, Kelly and Custer all hit
safely and the former scored. In the
next Vogel walked and died on Hun
ters grounder, Hunter reaching first
safely. 'Clynes walked and the two
pulled OF a double steal in neat fash
ion. Hunter scored when Stevens was
thrown out at first. The score:

Danville evened II up with the Is
landers yesterday afternoon by taking
a hard fought game by a score Of 10
E. Except for two bad innings, the
fifth and sixth, the Islanders had al
the better OF the argument, but the
Two rounds were enough to cause the
downfall of Carney's men, six runs be
ing piled up. Bill Humes pitched ex-
cellent ball, and had things broken
differently he deserved 10 get away
with a shut out. Manager Carney, IT
the absence of regular umpire. held
the indicator, and while he placed him
self in an unfortunate predicament and
one the fans do not care TO see repeat
ed, he umpired a good game.
LEAD FROM START.
John Loomis was by no means j
puzzle for the Islanders. They got TO
him in the first round for pair OF tai
lies. Nogel led with a hit between
short and second and Hunter sacrihc-
ed neatly. Clynes followed with a
three-sack drive TO the clubhouse, IN
which Vogel scored. Stevens follow

ball was caught Another tally came

third and scored when Hildebrand
threw badly TO third in an endeavor rC

DANyILIE MAKES FOUR.
The Islanders apparently had every
thing their own way. but in the fifth
Danville had its turn. Siner started
with n grounder to Vogel and Otto
threw high 10 first and the
runner was safe. Hildebrand hunted
towards third and Custer and Humes
did the Alphonse-Gaston stur.
and the visiting catcher was credited
with hit Coombs famed, but Pitch
er Loomis poked out a hit TO center
and Siner scored from second. Ball
grounded no Kelly and Harry hurried
the ball home nicely, but Hildebrand
slipped under Clusters outstretched
arms and was safe. Sullivan followed
with a hit, scoring Loomis, and after
Ball had been caught between home
and third Fisher swatted safely, scor-
ing Sullivan.
GET ANOTHER PAIR.
The two scores that tied and won
the game for the visitors came in the
next innings. Staley was given a base
on balls. Siner laid one down and
Slattery threw TO first. but the runner
interfered and Queisser could not stop
the ball. both runners moving up. Hill
