Evansville, Ind, Aug. 18th,
Islanders got away to a 5-run lea
in the first four innings of yester
days game and then came an in
jury to Art Rein, the young speed
bali artist, that forced him from the
elevation in favor of Lefty" Ross
Ross didn't have the kind of per
il, suasion on the ball that had en-
abled Rein to blank the Evas dur
ing his tenure of the mound, and
slowly but surely the home cluh
overlook the Islanders and finally
COPIED the contest in the tenth in
ming. The score was 8 to 3.
AS old man luck would have it,
the first hit secured off Rein, being
a blow by Gressett in the fourth,
put him hors de combat for the rest
of the afternoon. Ross proved rath-
er soft pickings for the Bashangs
during the remainder of the game.
They nicked his sometimes formida-
BILE southpaw for 10 swats and the
victory.
The blow that put Rein away was
one of those vicious smack5 that a
batter drives back in the general di-
Tection of the pitchers head. Art
got his hand in the way but the
force of the hit almost tore a finger
lose from its moorings. He had to
retire Immediately.
Error Gives Victory.
An error by Bill Johnson, play
ing shortstop for the Islanders,
gave Evansville their winning run
in the tenth inning. Martin who
was first up, singled and advanced
on sacrifice. Lothes followed
with grounder to Johnson, which
the latter heaved wildly to first,
permitting Martin TO romp home
with the deciding tally.
Everything was Rock Island dur
ing the first part of the game. Bill
Cole connected with a triple in the
first inning and AL Schweitzer de-
livered the time-honored sacrifice
fly.
