The Islanders and Plow Boys divided |
a bargain double-header yesterday al
ternoon at the Moline lot, Hughes
gang grabbing off the first game, a |
hitting bee in which both Neal and
Eller received beating, by count OF
u to 4, and the afterpiece going to
Listers men, to /, in seven innings,
McBride's homer bringing in all three
runs. The handful Of faithfuls who at
tended were sure given their fill OF
good bad and Indifferent baseball dur
ing the is innings of pastiming.
The opener was batting fest from
the word go and Listers men wasted
many golden opportunities to score
right at the start. Two lightning
double plays also saved Eller's skin
later in the game ThirtyfOur hits
were made, IS off Neal and Is off Eller
for a total of AZ bases. Moline sue
ceeded in turning IS hits into i
runs through timely hitting, Neals
error and wild pitch helping things
along, and Billy can hold no one but
himself to blame for the trounclng
No club could win with such twirllng.
Moline Gets StOcker.
Lee Stocker, the Ashland, Ill, youth
and former Islander, is amongst US
again. Manager Hughes has had con-
siderable trouble in securing an in
fielder to fill Whites shoes and is go
ing to give Lee chance. Suckers ini-
tial blow with the Plows was an aus
picious one. He drove in two scores
with a timely single in the first game
and started a fruitIess batting rally
in the seventh inning of the second

Then the Plow Boys started, and
they never stopped. Three hits, one OF
them a double and Meals error, count
ed two for Moline in the second hall
of the second frame. In the third inn
