BUNNIES' BOSS
TOPS SLUCGERS
OF THE VALLEY
Cedar Rapids Leading League in
All Respects, According to
Averages

Billy Speas, manager OF those
fast-stepping Bunnies from Cedar
Rapids, who will furnish the oppo-
sition for the Islanders for four
games, beginning Monday, is set
ting the example in hitting, not
only for his own team but for the
whole league.
Yes sir, Mr.. Billy is pounding
the old apple at a terrific rate, so
to speak. In the first official aver
ages compiled by F. J. Hanlon OF
Waterloo league statistician, the
Bunny boss is shown with per-
centage of .469, for all games up 10
and including those OF, Wednesday.
Preston Gray of Rock Island for a
lesser number of games is hitting
the agate at 423 clip, with Graves
of Dubuque third with .421. Andy
McEwan, the Islanders smuggling
second sacker, is fourth with .416.
Other leading hitters are Ford Of
Marshalltown, Messner of Mar
shalltown, Church of Cedar Rapids,
Lenahan of Marshalltown, Lewis of
Cedar Rapids, Dempsey of Cedar
Rapids, Belz of Rock Island, and
Michaels of Cedar Rapids.
Manager Jimmy Councilman of
Rock Island put on steam in the
last week as a result brought
his average of .259.
One good reason why Cedar Rap
ids has won IL straight games and
is comfortably perched at top of
the heap, is shown in the team
batting average of .319, which is the
best mark. The Islanders are a
step behind with 1872
In fielding averages Cedar Rap
ids is also at the top with a per-
centage of .953. Rock Island is
| fifth with 1856

Score.

Two costly errors, both by Out

ing field yesterday and eased the
Pillow Boys back in the cellar posi-
ton. The contest was called at the
close of the seventh inning to per-
NIT the EVas to hop a RATHER for

Pitcher Gillies Summarized his
way along nicely and deserved a
victory, only one of the visitors
runs being earned. He permitted
but five singles and a double dur
ing that time. After being biffed
for two bingles in the seventh, Mack
injected Schiller into the fray.

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up HILL
When the funds low and the debts high,
And you want to smile, but have to sigh
When is pressing you down bit,
Rest if you must-but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every of sometimes learns,
And many failure turns about
When he might have had he stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is than
1t to faint and faltering
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he to the golden crown
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt
And you never tell how close you are,
1t may be when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things worst that you mustn't quit
