The islanders celebrated losing
st eak cracked yesterday. After
IA defeats in row. the locals final
ly managed 10 squeeze out on the
long end Of a S to 4 score at Doug
La pArk. Dubuque. in losing. was
rsa..y entitled to an apology from
tie islanders, who won in spite OF
themselves. But Dubuque insisted,
sc there was no recourse for the To-
Gals than to accept.
The Islanders got all their runs
In one inning--the third. They got
most OF them because Dubuque
threw the ball everywhere but in
the general direction Of fielder.
With such an imposing lead to 60
on, the islanders felt like strangers
in a strange land. They got to
b,ooding cover the possibility Of
finishing up with a victory and in
their next four innings did their
darndest to help Dubuque back on
its feet. But the visitors were not
quite equal to the task of accept
ing.
charlie Friedl displayed some
thing OF his old time form. The
invaders earned only one of their
quartet of runs. The others were
Simon pure gifts, no strings at

plicate matters by injudicious use
Of his allotment Of free tickets to
first base.
McAreavy, the Dubuque collegian,
held the Islanders to seven hits
and pitched well enough to win. but
his work was not good enough to
neutralize the handicap under
which his mates put him in the
third frame. A couple of bad
throws permitted the Islanders to
run wild on the paths. After that
session he had little difficulty
banking the home guard the rest
Of the distance.

out. Naturally, Friedl pranced al
the way to the plate.
Norton got in the way Of fas
