DAY IN hopes Ot IcCOvoian6
I lost to the Islanders Sunday but the
McQuillans continued their lively
mace and slowed another contest
away in the game bag. The score
was Z TO 4. 1t was the second
straight win over Evansville.
A mere handful Of fans--to be
exact, 211 paid--enjoyed another
very high class exhibition OF the So
called national pastime. The Is
Iafders amassed II safe swats
AGAINST an even dozen for the Wis
sitors. Four hits in the second and
a like number in eighth accounted
for six Islander tallies, however,
and thereby hangs the tale OF the
Evas' defeat
Lefty Ross, the midget performer
g'of The islanders twirling staff, went
the full route with lots to spare. The
youngster had the plate located
throughout, issuing only one base
on balls. He kept the dozen safe
ties recorded of his southpaw de-
livery fairly well scattered. His
mates gave him fine support, and at
no time did the Bashangs appear
In any imminent danger OF staging
a rally, except possibly in the sew
erith. They tied the count then,
only to have Rock Island come back
in It's half Of the inning and forge
ahead by Qne run.
Z The Evas got away with three
very scratchy infieid hits in the first
4 inning, and, assisted by an error.
Garnered q solitary run. Bullock
was safe on a scratch hit to Elliott
after Chestnut had rolled out, Ross
to Elliott. In an effort to get Bull
s lock at first, Elliott threw high to
Ross after recovering the bad
grounder. Bullock continuing to
second. Gressett drove a scorch-
ing liner towards Benson. Elmer
went into the air with his gloved
hand but the ball failed to stick.
Bullock reaching third. Bashang
scratched a hit to Murphy and Bull
lock scored. Patterson and Seibert
both rolled out, Wick 70 Elliott
The Islanders failed to &C
complish anything in their first but
