The course, although water-logged,
failed to heighten the scores. Some
of the balls, when given a bit of

With . 3 to I victory.
Il al happened 30 suddenly that

reliable member Of the Dubuque

IN even pace and 1t seemed that

behold. Anderson mussed up a
chance presented by the first Is

four hits in rapid succession, which
I provided four runs, enough for vic
tory.
Bowman was derricked in the
ninth inning after two hits had
been poled off his hitherto invinci-
BILE delivery, but McAreavy, who
brought up the relief, was ineffec-
tive. failing to stop the now en-
Unused Islanders.
The Islanders started out with
the intention Of routing Dubuque in
much the same manner that they
did at Rock Island Sunday, only to
have the victory cast aside. A
double steal gave them a run in
the first inning.
Gaining an early lead seemed to
engender a bit Of carelessness in
the visitors. Lefty" Hoeft was hit
hard in the second, third and sixth
innings, and when the smoke
cleared away the home team was
leading by three scores. Every eff.
fort Of the Islanders to rally be.

checked by Bowman, who permitted
