(special to The Argus

Bloomington, July 19.-Those once
Iowly Islanders put another crimp in
the pennant aspirations of the Bloom
ers here yesterday, when Billy Neal,
hurting unbeatable ball, BANKED the
Darringer crew and let them down
with six scattered hits. Bays men
collected four runs off Schlansker in
the meantime. scoring three Of them
in the ninth inning and putting the
contest on ice. So far the Islanders
have resembIed anything but a sec
ond division team here, and many OF
the local fans are impressed with their
improved showing and predict a
climb
In the process Neal struck out two
men and walked four, but none of the
passes proved costly. In several
innings the Boomers threatened 10
score, but on each occasion Neal tight
ened up and pulled through in good
shape. He was given almost faultless
support by his teammates, the reliable
Heine Biltz being credited with the
only misplay. Hollocher and Erie
vein starred in the field. BiItz led his
mates with the stick, getting three
singles
The Islanders counted in the first
inning. Hollocher drew the only walk
issued by Schlansker during the game
and was sacrificed to second by Bay.
Charlie counted on Biltz's slashing
single to center.
From the first to the ninth there was
no scoring. In the final frame Erie
vein led off with hard drive to left
for two bases. Vance and Cerny fol-
lowed with singles, Erlewein scoring
Neal drove a vicious grounder at SUIT
ties and the ball filtered through the
shortstop's legs, both Vance and Cerny
scoring. The next three men were
easy outs The score:

If the DistilIers slide into the lead
today they can thank no one but the
Islanders.
Billy Neal is twirling great ball of
late. During the past week he has
been worked hard as relief twirler,
but he came through with d world of
stuff again yesterday and the Bloom
ers could not find his slants.
Freddie Marks is scheduled to work
today.
Boston Wolfe failed to get in the
game yesterday, as promised. Just
what causes Boss Bay to change his
plans is not known. Wolfe is with the
team, however.
The Islanders are great f1nishers
Yesterday they showed over three in
the ninth. but it happened they did not
need them.
Tomorrow the Islanders move over
to Peoria for a three-day stay.
Buck Boyle, star first baseman of
Quincy, has been sold to Fort Worth
and will report at once.
President Ban Johnson, angry be-
cause Clark Griffith told a Chicago
newspaper man that he would work
Walter Johnson on a certain day, and
then didn't, says that hereafter d
pitcher advertised as an attraction
must be used The issue is simply
this: Which is more important, win
ming games or getting a crowd?
For the rest of the season there will
be new background at the Polo
grounds to improve the Giants bat
ting, if possible A screen, painted
light green, will be hung on steel poles
in front of the center field bleachers,
which will be closed to spectators.
McGraw has hit upon this plan to
help his players, who really believe
that they will bat more heavily under
these conditions.
Judging from the prices being paid
for some of the minor league talent
new figures are likely to be establish
ed by the time the various National
and American league club owners
complete their bidding for Evers,
Sallee, Herzog and other high-priced
stars said to be on the baseball block.

Sea. The German automobile would
nave been meat for some large,
whiskery Russian captain, and Ray
feared they would take from him on
guise its German origin as it would
nave been to lead in German
dachshund under the assumption that
it was greyhound.
However. he got by all the barriers.
Some of his friends say he tied an
onion on the radiator. put garlic in the
gasoline. and told every one that the
ma II, was seven-cyiinder Spa
for leaping the Pyrenees.
But here's the grand finale:
After driving the German car with the
Spanish onionette body all over the
cobblestones of Petrograd. the Russian
government had a sudden desire for
more cars. and, finding that Ray
wouldn't allow the machine to be taken
from him by force. they paid him cash
down, sight unseen. sixteen thousand
Russian rubles.
When Ray told me that ] was drink
ing glass Of ginger ale. and the fizz
suddenly got into my throat and nearly
killed me As gas attack it came
near being successful. When they re
vived me l asked weakly:
For heavens sake. how much is a
ruble?'
oh, about fifty cents" said Ray
And then dark cloud descended.

This Bert st. Clair-he furnishes me
with lot of ideas. For instance, here's
one he told me about that journalist
JEFF Jones of Minneapolis. and one of
the few Minnesota men who don't wear
red undershirts in the summer time.
Messrs Jones and St Clair took to
the mountains last Sunday travelling
over a rocky and dusty road to Blue
mont. and having arrived at that haven
of fried chicken and flies they con-
tracted with an ex-Confederate caval-
ryman for the hire of two horses which
had fought all up and down the valley
in the days of 81. Like all other
travellers in the Eluemont region. they
headed for Smokers gap and the bear
dehs which are no more dens than they
are. rocking chairs.
&Sow. this Jones fellow, who has the
polished air of a well bred city youth
thought he would impress the st. Clair
person. with a little knowledge of ma
ture in her softest moods. jeff Jones
tried to assume the air of a noun
taineer. and succeeded in attaining the
same Arcadian manner as that shown

Well. before Ray left he told people
here about his German automobile.
When he was connected with the
American embassy at st. Petersburg
ut hadn't been changed to Petrograd
an automobile which had every con-
ceivable appliance on 1t that human
ingenuity could devise. 1t was so
foreign looking that English speaking
people couldn't ind the doors of 1T. It
was loaded down to its very keel with
cost about $4,000. but in reality cost
$500, which is enough. even at that.
About the time the war started Ray
was in Germany with his German car,
and the kaiser began picking up every
body's transportation from baby car
II Ray hadn't been a member of the
great American diplomatic OUTFIT his
own fine German car would have been

to hang on to 1t through the aid Of q
lot Of embassy red IRE that was pro-
duced Just for his benefit.
He managed to sneak 1t out Of Ger

il farther and get 1t to Russia. where
he felt so much: at home that he
couldn't even order 4 boiled egg, 80
ierce is the language. In Sweden a
told him that he couldn't get his auto
mobile out Of Sweden at all unless the
king said 30.
Ray didn't believe It; but he did md
out that was 80. He had to 90 right

He is especially encouraged by tariff
