By J. /. HUGHES.

The islanders at least have Du-
buque to be thankful for. Joe NC
Ginnity's crew Of ear-baseballers
handed Rock Island pair OF
games ON q decorated platter at
Douglas park yesterday afternoon. ,
8 to 4 and 4 to 3. ,"Iron Man" Joe,
himself, occupied the mound in the
shortended after piece and although
nicked for 10 bingles, the islanders
would not have got along in the
run column SO well II 1t had not
been for bad throws.
~ Young, first sacker for DUBUQUE,
was the leading offender OF the day.
In fact he was the only offender In
the visitors lineup. Young made
four errors in the first game and
came right back with two in the
second. He was really the best
bet the Islanders had on the field.
Jackson. a youngster who is
thought pretty we'll Of, was
knocked from the box by the Is
landers in the second inning of the
first game. Three hits, two being
triples. coupled with an error and
a base on balls, accounted for four
runs and brought McAreavy up
{ with the relief. In spite of the fact
that little Mac had worked the day
before, he had plenty of stuff re-
naming in his repertoire to hold
the Islanders safe the remainder
of the distance 1t took three sin
i. giles for the Islanders to push their
fifth run over, In the third inning.
and triple and single for their
sixth, in the fourth inning. After
that McAreavy was supreme.
The Dubuquers came close to ty-
ing the score in the ninth after a
steady uphill battle, and probably
would have done so but for a close
ruling of Jumps Pete johnson in ia
vor of the Islanders. With one
run in, two outs and runners on
second and third. Choquette slash
ed slow hopper to Norton. Nor
ton took it on the run and fired for
the base. 1t did look as if Cho-
quette had the bag won but Pete
said no, SO the pastiming was end
ed for Is minutes.
Zubay was yanked in that ninth
> frame with one down and runners
on first and second. He put two on
with passes and Young sent a
double to left field. Hoeft was
rushed in somewhat cold but he got
the second out by forcing Carroll
to fly to right field. The runners
advanced a notch after the catch
Then came Choquette's groundel
and the end of the trouble.
Second Game.
The second game was featured
by the chucking Of Joe McGinnity
manager OF the visitors. Joe, a
81, still has a curve ball that mad
the Islanders dizzy at times tryinl
to follow its uncertain course. Jo
came in for frequent applause from
the shivering fans, all of whom
had congregated in the bleacher
and east portion Of the grandstan,
to gain full benefit of the sun
rays.
Lefty" Hoeft returned to tn
mound in the second game and wa
right enough to hold Dubuque t

chances are he would have escape
unscathed. Both pitchers worke
fast and checked in with six an
0ne-half innings in the fast tim
Of one hour fiat. This was espe
cially pleasing in view Of the tw
hours and ten minutes required
finish the opener.
The Islanders adopted the bum
ing game on McGinnity with som
degree Of success Most of the
hits we're kissed by lady luck whe
they left the bat. Two singles hell
ed to push across the first run,

" verted into two scores in the thil

Two singles and stolen base ga'
the Islanders their final tally,
Dubuque scored two in the fir
inning on Hyde's fielder's choic
Carrolls double and Clsoquette
triple. Hyde tripled in the fifth il
ming after Young's pass, accoun
ing for the third run.
