The final fuss with the Speed Boys
was an air-tight one, Quincy winning
. to l yesterday at the local grounds.
Castles crew got to Frank Seaman
in his fatal sixth inning for two runs
on two hits and base on balls, and
that was all, but enough Castle sicked
two pesky gents, Hi Heller and Hig-
bee by name, and these two said pesky
gents allowed Rock Island only four
scattered blows throughout nine inn
ings of pastiming. The Islanders
punched two of them in the second
inning for their only run.
At that Rock Island had two excel
lent chances to tie the count, these
opportunities coming in the seventh
and eighth but Listers men failed to
avail themselves of the chance.
1t was a hard game for Seaman to
lose. Had his mates been able to con-
meet in the pinches different story
would have been told, but it was not
to be. Seaman allowed but seven
hits, safely spread. He issued three
walks, and one of them proved costly
Golvin was the only visitor to niCl
Seaman for more than one hit and al
three of his blows were of the fluke,
variety.
