a bases at Douglas park yes
nrday afternoon and copied the
anal Of the series with Terre Haute
lands down by a score Of 10 to Z.
Bosidss the solid base knocks the
home boys romped around the
! hases in highsome glee with the net
,.sult that seven stolen bases are
! nlaced 10 their credit. Terre Haute
slsyed errorless ball behind Clock
spd Keenan,, but sent u men to
ihe bags and all but six completed
~ circuit while the Tots had 10
branded on the rocks.
: BENSON, Smith and Mcclure were
ne big guns of the day with the
stick, Benson and Smith splitting
The FIRST honors with four hits out
Of five trips to the plate for each
one, Mcclure got three out Of tour.
Benson hit pair OF doubles. Que
striking the center field fence when
il lit and the other hitting the same
fence on the first bounce. Smith
cracked one TO deep right field for
0 triple, besides getting in on a
double base clout.
The Islanders appeared to be
able to score at will. The Tots got
marker in the first inning and the
Tighemen came right back in their
half Of the round and counted two
runners at the plate, Then in the
third Terre Haute caused more tenn
porary damage. 1t lasted though
only until Rock Island got chance
to swing the stick again in the
same inning. The home team reg
istered four in the third, and after
that were never headed, even for
half an inning. The runs kept
coming In at steady rate.
Stewart Derricked.
The Brownies got to Stewart
!. for six blows and five runs in four
and one-third innings, and Jack
0'Neil was sent to the mound to
check the threatening Tots. O'Neil
performed valiantly and stopped
further scoring by the visitors un-
Ill the seventh inning. Then he
walked the first two men to face
him and O'Berta doubled, but only
one scored, because it appeared
that the ball might be caught by
the fielder. At this point Jones
was sent to the mound and he
stopped them after another run had
counted in the inning by means of
sacrifice fly. The Tots got two
hits off O'Neil and none Off Jones
in two and two-thirds innings.
Jones pitched to eight men and the
eight went out in order.
Clock lasted four innings. In
that time the Islander bat artists
found his offerings to the extent OF
10 base knocks and nine runs. At
the start Of the fifth Keenan,, a pee
wee Of left-hander, went TO the
mound for the visitors. He got by
that inning without scratch, but
IN the remaining three allowed five
blows and three runs. So that
everything looked pretty much
alike to the Islanders intent upon
sWeetening the batting averages.
Players as Umps.
n The game was a long drawn out
AFFAIR. Starting at o'clock, it end
ed at $50, For some reason or
other regular umpire was not
available, Jones being ordered else
where, and Pitcher Dennis of the
islanders and a Terre Haute play
Or substituted in the roles of arbi-
ters. Dennis worked half the game
on balls and strikes and the Terre
haute man the rest of the time
Both did the work we'll, hardly a
question being raised by either side
over decisions, Both men display
Cd an absolute impartiality for
either side.
