SEMI-PRO GAMES
Island CftYs. 4; Milan. 0.

The Island Citys played a great
game behind Bill Danielson's
splendid pitching and beat the Mi
land Independents at Milan yester-
day, to 0. Danielson held the los
ers to two hits. The game went
into the 10th inning before the
Rock Island team was able to con-
centrate upon Paul Wilson, the
young pitching star recently sign
ed by the Rock Island Three-Eye
league team Wilson struck out II
aid allowed only seven hits. but
his support crumpled at the finish.
1t was the fourth game of the week
he pitched
Eddie DanSelson played a fine de-
fensive game for the Island Citvs
at shortstop. while Cook" Smiths
work at third base kept the infield
going smoothly at all times. Wal
lie Kent at second and Bill Fisher
at first handled their assignments
above reproach.
The lions share of credit for the
victory is given to the battery. Bill
Danielson and AID Finnegan. ONLY
three balls were hit out of the in
field by Milan. The Island Citvs
play the Davenport Auto school
next Sunday and Milan meets Edg-
lngton at Edgington- Score.

The Giants are not hustling and
they are being bothered with in

lack of first class pitching. Against
Pittsburgh, the Giants look like
champions. Against the second
raters they are second raters.

Eddie Novak. the sensation of the
Rock Island Independents for the
last two years, came back yester-
day, ready for hard season on the
gridiron. Eddie took IN the ball
games at Douglas park yesterday
afternoon, and, needless to say,
everybody was glad TO see him. Re
ports have gone the rounds that
the great little half-back was
through with Rock Island football
but his appearance only goes to
show how little some birds really
know about the situation.
Eddie is going to work for the
Illinois Oil company at its filling
station on Seventeenth street be-
tween Second and Third avenues
He says he will be glad to greet all
his old friends and make new ones
at that stand.
Manager Elmer Benson of the Is
landers departed with the team for
Terre Haute this morning. Before
game time yesterday, Elmer an
nounced that he is feeling better
every day and expects to get into
the lineup with the next few days.
He said his right side has a touch
of stiffness yet but that it is yield
ing to exercise.
The Islanders will be gone until
Aug. "a, when they return to en-
gage the Plowboys at Douglas park.
Moline has asked the Rock Island
Fans association to transfer the
Aug. "a game to Browning field in
order that a Mack day may be held
there. 1t is likely that this request
will be met.

Geneseo, Ill, Aug. S.-The above
table shows the rating OF the TOUT
teams which competed in the CISCO
tournament which closed yesterF
day. Contrary to general expecta-
ton. Andoyer lost the first game
of the afternoon to Cambridge by
a score of to 2. The battery for
Cambridge was Schatzman and lr;-

game. holding the hard-hitting An
dover team to five hits. Verne ia
cobson pitched for Andover and
yielded II hits. All of the winning
runs were made in the second IN
ming on two doubles and one single
coupled with one error.
The Osco-Geneseo game was fast
throughout. Geneseo scored the
first and their only run in the fifth
inning by two bases on balls, a sin
gle and a Sacrifice fly. Kennedy,
pitching for CISCO. held Geneseo to
a total of three hits. CISCO secured
all their runs in the eighth on a
base on balls, three hits and a wild
throw by Glawe trying to get a
runner going home. Talbot, pitch
ing for Geneseo, was relieved by
Rhyberg in the eighth after the
damage had been done. Burgeson,
catching for Geneseo, with two hits
and his usual stellar work behind
the bat, again showed himself to be
one of the best. prospects in this
vicinity.

I monthly stipend. If the home plate
was n half-dOzen feet each way
! Fisher would be great pitcher
/ What he has in the way of pitching
stuff is discounted about so per cent
because of his wildness. If he ever
steadies himself, there is no ques.
ton but that he will make q valu.
able twirier.
Coincident with the announce
ment of the release of Fisher comes
information that Paul Wilson, the
young Milan star, left with the Is
landers today for Terre Haute. 1t
was thought best not to try Wilson
before the home crowd yesterday.
On the road he will be less inclined
to nervousness. Wilson is not only
a pitcher but an infielder and out
fielder also.
There is need for more volunteer
workers in the campaign to collect
funds for the continuance of Rock
Island baseball. Those who are
giving their time are going along
untiringly. The fans association
needs every bit it can get and the
