The Terrible Tots grabbed their
second straight victory from the
Islanders at Douglas park yester-
day afternoon, 10 2, but in doing
so had to extend themselves TO the
limit Islander errors and an in
stance OF bad judgment from the
coaching box were responsible for
the defeat
An opportunity TO tie the score and
probably win the game in the ninth
went glimmering because Herb Ma
nouk, running Tor Schwe.tzer. was
thrown out at the plate trying to
register from first on Benson's dou-
BILE with two gone. Earl Wire. do
ing the coaching act, in his over
anxiety to see run score that
could not help any, sent Manouk
In to Ger ain death. The ball had
already been relayed to second base
from left center by Burke before
the pitcher had fairly rounded the
far cushion. Had Manouk scored,
it would still have been necessary
to get Benson in from second to
knot the count, but a needless
chance was taken with costly re-
salt.
they played to win at all times be
hind Herb Miller, who. despite err
ratio support in the pinches, twirl-
ed one OF his steady games. The
Islanders were brilliant by spells,
three double plays indicating they
were up and coming. The errors
came at critical stages On hard
chances, and as fate would have it,
were responsible for two runs.
- Waiter Newell, a newcomer, was
in at center field, while Ross was
shifted to the LETT garden to take
the place of Schweitzer. who is on

Boss Benson was the leading
slugger of the day His trio OF
doIBles were the real thing. His
drive TO the lett field fence in the
fist inning scored Murphy from
first base. He poled d hot one
down the left field foul line in the
sixth and registered on two sacri-
flee hits In the ninth, with two
gone. he connected nightly and
the ball sailed on a line to deep
left center. The blow went for
nauSht, however. when ManouB
was touched out at the plate.
The Tots scored one in the first
inning, being sort OF "a habit with
them Danaher led off with a sin
gle o Tate in right field. Campbell
celebrated his return to the Terre
I1aute lineup by striking out. Dug
gan, however, lifted a tall fly tC
lett field, which Ross allowed the
wind to pull out OF his reach, and
Dalaher scored, af-er having
reached third on Miller's bad throw
in an attempt to pick him off first
The Islanders came back I'M
daunted and lied the score in their
half of the initial round. and for
the next four innings both clubs
went scoreless. Came the sixth and
Benson doubled. He went TO third
on Tate's sacrifice and scored on
Connolly's long fly TO center field.
The Tots scored a run in their
seventh. Cunning rolled toward
Wire and the ball took a nasty hop
into right field. He was sacrificed
TO second and stole third after
Tate made fine running catch of
Burke's fly. Cole next hit a roller
straight down TO second base. Muir
ply made wonderful ong-handed
stop. but with plenty of time to
spare he threw bad Lop ball to
Wire and Dgnning scored.
Fail in Seventh,
The islanders got three on in
their seventh, and that was all.
Jando opened the round with a
single to LEFT. Miller struck out in
vain effort TO sacrifice. Murphy
played WilkUs was a walk. Newell
hit to short and Murphy was fore
ed at second. Benson was purpose
ly passed to fill the bases. Tate
then lifted a short fly to left that
Burke caught after a hard running
chance
The Tots eighth brought them
victory after the fl st two men were
out Duggan. third up. singled to
right. Drew worked Miller for a
pass. Dunning singled to center
and Duggan registered. Riley sent
up fly midway between home and
first, which Wire dropped after get
ting away to a late start Drew
scored from third. but the ball re-
bounded into Connolly's hands in
time to put Dunning out, who was
trying for the plate all the way
from second
