led the revamped Quincy crew under
foot yesterday by a lopsided count of
s to 0, and secured revenge to a Ger
tain degree for the beating handed
them Wednesday. Out of the mess Of
eight runs the Islanders earned five
by timely swatting and the other three
were handed them on platter. Andy
Ware, the thTee-fngered spit-ball spe-
cialist had his saliva pill working to
perfection and not a visiting batsman
saw third base throughout the nine in
nings. Five hits were credited against
Andy by the scorers, but it was
shame 10 do it.
The Speed Boys in reality secured
but one clean hit off Ware, this being
Ziggy Sherer's one-baser between
third and short Young's two-bagger
was a 1uke hit back Of first base and
had Wolfe been in shape he would
have gotten under it easily ErIewein
made desperate try for the ball.
Tyree got a scratch hit, which bumped
the third sack, and Sherer was also
credited with a scratch blow, a hard
hit ball taking q bad bound and hit

For over three innings yesterday the
Islanders worked absolutely without a

Bride .
We'll. we've got to have a batting
order of some kind" said the scribe.
'All right, put down anything you
think right and hand the slip to the
umpire" was Clydes parting shot as
he went back to the bench.
