Notes of the Game

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Aug. 1.-The
Islanders entered yesterdays game
lacking the services of SEortstcp
Murphy. He was called back to
Rock Island by a telegram an
nouncing illness of his wife
Manager Charlie Connolly was
obliged to put Al Spreitzer back
into the game after having given
the big fellow his release the night
before. Take it from Ivy Andich.
who is here representing Rock Is
land, Connolly was as anxious to
ask Spreitzer to come back as he
was to jump over the roof"
Cedar Rapids got all the breaks
in the games played to date. Sun
day. in the first inning, Newell
started by getting a hit. Earl Wire
hit safely, putting Newell on sec
Ond. Then Johnson laid down a
neat sacrifice and beat the throw to
first. With three on and none out.
Tate grounded to shortstop, forcing
Newell at the plate. SchweitZer
struck the home plate. The ball
'ebounded six feet in the air and
Catcher Mccarthy retrieved it and
shot 1t to first for a double play.
everyone thought it was a foul ball.
SpeitZer was largely responsible
or what happened yesterday.
On the way back to the hotel.
Connolly said to the players: To
we will have a meeting.
Any of you fellows who don't play
pail the way you should is going
% pay heavily for it. You have
been getting off too easy"
Connolly is certainly setting a
Inc example. He backs up first
base all the time and in general
plays hard game.

Subdued after a brief struggle, the youth who gave his name as Joseph Herzog, was car ried down a narrow spiral stairway on the back of one of the policemen and sent to Bellevue hospital for ob- servation.
 Climbing, unobserved, to the plat form, 231 feet above the roadway, HerZog attracted the attention of passersby by gesticulating wildly and cutting cape.s. Traffic was soon blocked
 The two policemen went up after him ani he strongly resisted their efforts to take him down. The three swayed back and forth in iminent danger of death before the oper mouthed spectators below.
