Notes of Tx Game

A One-handed catch by BubScr
OF Benson's liner in the first inning
which resulted in Murphy being
doubled at second, told heavily
against the Islanders. The hit took
q course over first base but Bub-
ser reached out and speared it in
his glove. Had it gone, Murphy
could have scored from second but
he was out trying to get back to
the base. Benson then would have
scored on Johns triple to right,
and the latter might have register
cd on Coles fly.
Carleton Lord pulled the unex-
pected on the Dummies in the fourth
by bunting on his third strike and
got away with it in great style.
Caught fiat-footed, Voights let the
bali roll in hopes of seeing it go
foul but it managed to stick right
on the line
Wally Newell made a sensation
al catch of Stoakes' drive in the
second. He picked the bail off his
shoe tops. and in so doing lit on
his left ear and turned over onto his
feet.
Bunny Allen. the speed boy of
the Cedar Rapids infeld, helped
himself to four hits in five times
at bat His foOtwork enables him
to convert inield grounders into
safe hits when others would fail by
several feet of the bag. On one oc-
caslon, he beat out a grounder to
Benson that was fielded cleanly.

Inasmuch as the Plowboys are
almost certain pennant winners In
the Three-Eye league efforts are be-
ing made by President Giles of that
club to stage a post esason series
between the winners in the tri-optc
and Western leagues. Giles has
been in communication with Tear
ney on the matter, but as yet no
action has beentaken.
Giles proposes a 7-game series
between the two winners. Wichita
is leading the league at present
with Omaha second. The only OBJ
stacle that appears to be in the way
of the series at present is the fact
that the Western does not close
until nine days after the Three-I.

e0uld arrange enough transforming
