ton before they return from their
first league road trip, May is.
The inter-city series to date
stands, Rock Island 2, Moline l.
The islanders won the first game
lis, a week ago today. Moline
took last Sundays contest, l7-s.
The islanders captured the third
game yesterday, 40. Thus, the
best Moline can do tomorrow is to
tie the series.
Both clubs. particularly the Is.
landers, have rounded into excel
lent starting form and will display
their utmost to carry off tomor-
rows final exhibition skirmish
prior to the opening Of the league
campaign Tuesday The standard
admission price will prevail and
it should be a game well worth
witnessing.
May See New Players.
J There is strong possibility that
the Islander lineup will include the
! names of Pitcher Ambrose, just OBJ
tanned from the Columbus club, and
Catcher Dunn, late of the Milwau-
kee Brewers. Pitchers Ambrose
and Swiggert are expected to ar
rive tomorrow morning from Co
,umbus. Dunn is due today.
Manager McQuillan announced
today that he might start Ambrose
against the Plows, provided the
former minion Of pants" Rowland
reports in good working order
Otherwise, Frank Smith. who hurl-
ed the team to victory a week ago,
will occupy the box.
Manager Mack has not determin-
ed whether to pitch Jim Woodhead
or Guy McWhorter. Woodhead got
,away to a bad start in last Satur-
days game and was chased early
in the fray. McWhorter, who pitch
ed for the Plows last Sunday, was
in a bad way several times and the
Islanders are waiting confidently
for another crack at his offerings.
Final Selections Deferred.
McQuillan was to announce his
final selections today, but last
minute negotiations with other
clubs altered his plans and made
it inadvisable to make public the
names of those who will depart
Monday night for Peoria. How
ever, the names Of those to be re-
tanned will be announced Monday
Former islanders, who drew
their releases this week, beg.c w.
day to shift for other berths. Jack
Cummings went to Rockford yes
Iterday to confer with Harry Brant
Of the Rox about catching on there.
Gus Purpura departed to spend
Sunday in Chicago and believes he
can hook ON in the Michigan-Onta-
rio league.
Frank Zennman beat IL out FOR
Denver after receiving good Of
fer for a berth with strong indie
pendent outfit in the Coughing city.
Bob Van is still hanging around
the camp awaiting news. Van llves
the farthest away of them all, his
home being in southern Arizona.
McQuillan is busying himself by
trying to find suitable berths for
Wally Schenck and Eddie FRANCIS
two of the most promising young
players who ever tried out for .
minor league club.
Gamer versus Brooks.
Dee Gamer, the Milwaukee re.
cruit, has been played in the last
two exhibition games so Manager
McQuillan might appraise MS
wares. The coming Of Gamer lea
20 the benching of Mandy BROOKS
and a warm scrap for the rignl
field berth is being waged by Inc
two capable athletes. 1t will DC
difficult for McQuillan to cast tne
die between these two. :

making final preparations for the
opening game Tuesday at Peoria
