Notes of the Game

By getting five hits in six trips
to the plate yesterday, Murphy
made his record for two days-10
hits in IS chances. Six .'of these
were bunt hits, two of which he
accomplished yesterday. Besides
that, he figured in two double plays
that went Benson to Murphy to
Lord. Also he stole third by his
old ruse of getting the catcher to
peg to second.
Elmer Benson was responsible
alone for the islanders other dou-
BILE play. After fielding Bubsers
grOunder in the fifth with Robin
son on first, he tagged the latter
as he tried to dodge and then threw
to first to get Bubser on a close
play.
Bill Rose failed to register from
first base in the second inning on
clean triple by Allen. The ball
whisLled over first base and got lost
among the fence braces in right
u
to Fitzpatrick. Rose tried to get
back, but Allen was already near
third. Rose was run down easily.
! 1t was a great day for errors.
/ Cedar Rapids had the best of the
argument in this respect, to 6.
/ Robinson, usually steady outfield-
! er, allowed two singles TO slip
through his legs and roll to the
fence.
Bunny Allen, the visitors second
sacker, had no trouble collecting
base hits off Fitzpatrick. He OBJ
tanned three in five times at the
plate.
The game witnessed the return
of Badly" Aftermath TO third base
The new arrangement sent Bill
Johnson back to left field and plac-
ed Lord on first. Things looked a
