terday. at Douglas park. with ter
rible crash. On the other hand,
Frank Boyle drove his Marshall
town Ansons On to their twelfth
straight. The score was 13 to 2.
Tho Islanders had previously regis
tered eight victories In row.
Resembling base hits-17 of them
were given their start in the
world by Marshalltown bats. And
setting the pace in this wild dis
play Of stickwcrk, was Stuvengen,
former islander. who connected
safely five times out of six times at
bat. He tripled twice and singled
on each Of the other occasions. His
hitting was terrific, for the ball
fairly sizzled off his willow.
Stuvengen was the real noise in
the visitors attack. The others
merely followed his example. 1t
was his single in the first inning
which sent Pitcher across with the
Ansons' opening run. and his tri-
pie in the third brought in the sec
ond tally. Those two blows really
forshadowed the departure of Fred
Radloff, Coal Valley miner, who
had been picked to stop the Ansons.
In the next and subsequent frames
the other members of the visiting
crew began to taken an especial
liking to the offerings of Fred. but
he managed 20 last into the sixth
inning.
The Islanders, while not exactly
helpless bOfore the twirling Of
Gregory, could not perpetrate dam
age with their bats at the right
times. They got 10 hits, most of
them coming in punches, but the
breaks Of the game were all against
them this time Try as they would,
after the first inning when they
tied the count at one each, they
could not pull themselves together
and make a respectable game out of
a contest that was rapidly resolv-
ing itself into a rout.
Radloff was derricked soon after
the start of the sixth inning, when
there still was a fairly good chance
for the islanders to overcome the
handicap. The first two batters in
the sixth hit safely, and at this
stage Manager Jimmy Councilman
called upon the champion of relief
hurlers, Emil Lefty" Hoeft.
But Lefty" for once failed to re-
lieve. The first to face him laid
down a sacrifice and on an unsuc-
cessful attempt to force the run
ner at third, all hands were safe
Next came single, then triple by
Stuvengen and another single. Five
runs. -,
Lefty" retired hastily in favor
of Louie Kolls, who came in from
left field to assume the now odious
mound duties. Louie smiled the
team out of further difficulty. His
first act was to pick off the occu-
pant of first base on a snap throw
Next, he got the batter on pop fly
to second base and the third mar
went down on a grounder to Louie
himself. Cheers.
A snappy double play helped
Louie to negotiate the seventh in
ming without further scoring. Ii
the eighth, an error, two singles
and a passed ball helped the Ans
,ons to two more, rather superflu
Gus runs. Two errors, a single an(
a sacrifice netted as many more il
the ninth.
The Islanders score in the nintl
came as the result of a single, fol
lowed by Firms triple to right field
1t was futile waste of energy.
