reonIs Is Master All the Way
Through Although Touched
Frequently.

The Islanders came through In
excellent form yesterday and
capped another ball game from Pc
aria, this time 3 to 4. So that
makes the series stand to 2 in
favor Of Rock Island with one
more game to be played before Pc
oria departs. So the worst Rock
Island cap get now is an even break
with the Jacksonites.
Good, bad and Indifferent base
hall was d;shed up for the enter
,sunent of the assembled bugs. It
was peoria's turn to show poorly
IN the field, and they did. The
four errors against the visitors
rave the Islanders a few runs, but
for the most part the markers were
Of the genuine earned variety.
j Timely swatsing swclled the total
10 large proportions in the early
rounds. Then Dennis let down d
BIZ and allowed five hits in the last
three innings. He twlrlad a cool,
ieady game. being master of cere-
Monies all the way through. He in
dicated his ability to tighten when
things threatened, which was not
often.
Did Louie Run!
The game produced its comedy
tjr the fans. Perhaps the funniest
situation occurred in the fourth in
ming, ard Louie Kolls was the one
to deliver, He opened the round
BY receiving a base on balls. Then
Bneser elected to send Louie along
on his journey by a sacrifice. The
ball popped off the bat into the air.
Louie thought Dennis might catch
Il. He raced back towards first.
Dennis didn't catch it because he
could get no where near it to do so.
But he did scoop it up and toss to
first to get Bueser. Louie got under
full steam towards second. Smith
4 pegged to Murphy. Murphy did not
tag Kolls, but even though it was
no force play, Fleming motioned
Louie out Kolis had run far off
second before he could come to a
stop and thinking he was out he
started TO brush the dust off his
pants. Murphy quickly saw his
mistake and made haste to touch
Louie with the ball. Louie got hep
and started for third with Murphy
close behind. Louie just couldn't
get the proper momentum in time
and when he attempted to slide
head first he stopped three fee,
short Of the base. Murphy tagged
him and went over the top. Then
Louie crawled to the base and loud
" protested that he had not been
touched. But the funniest thing
about it all was. Umpire Fleming
would not change his first decision
but ruled Louie was out at second
base.
Then TO stir things bit more in
iae eighth, Jackson vociferously
protested to jumps Fleming against
what he termed O'Neil's interior
ence with Brown in an attempt to
make double play. Fleming got
FILED alright and just ordered Mr.
Jackson to get off the field. Jack
son went so slowly and continued
10 argue and tell the jumps what he
thought of him that Mr.. Fleming
asked for an officer to take the bad
man away. But Bill don't stay
mad long. With his team far in
The rear he smiled and sent Hanson
10 first base station. Then he went
out among the bleacherites and be-
came one of the fans in that easy
way of his.
Murphy had a perfect batting
average. He is credited with one
Time at bat and one hit. Three
aler times he stepped to the plate
only to be given four wide ones
me other time he got one of Gill
enwater's curves in the back. And
me best of it was he scored every
ume but the last one.
Elmer Benson shined at bat and
M the field. He got two hits with
men on bases. Added to that he
