Islanders four runs and their third
straight victory over Dubuque yes
terday afternoon at Douglas park.
Coming in to their last chance
three runs behind, the locals hoped
on Bowman, Dubuque pitcher, and
scored enough to make the maj
count to 6, with only one out.
1t was one OF those dazzling fin
ishes that the fans love to witness
Much of the credit for the victory
goes to Fred Radloff, who worked
single to center field in the role OF
pinch hitter and brought Manager
Jim Councilman in from second
base with the tell-tale tally. How
ever, a bad throw by Shortstop An
derscn of Dubuque played no small
part in determining the ultimate
score. He took Councilman easy
roller and pegged wildly to the
plate, permitting the tying runs to
cross the registering station and
Councilman to reach second. Then
Radloff, batting for Craig, hit
clean single to center. bringing the
boss all the way home.
Attack Bowman
Bowman pitched a fine game for
the visitors until that last session
In only one inning preceding the
fireworks did he permit more than
one hit. In the ninth. FillIngham,
first up, singled to left field. New
ellis solid smack TO right sent
Fil1y to third A moment later Gray
doubled to right, scoring Filling
ham. Newell. taking no chances,
hauled up at third. Conzelman's
grounder was handled clearly by
Anderson, but the little fellow
threw low and wide Of the plate,
and both Newell and Gray came in
to knot the count. Downey popped
up to short, but Radloff ended the
fuss with a we'll placed single to
center.
Dubuque had a decided edge all
the way until the last frame. The
boys from the Key city had their
fight up. They checked the Island
ers in the midst of several promis-
ing rallies by fast fielding. bowman
showed the best form of any OF
their pitchers to date, and to all
intents and purposes the contest ap-
peared to be in for them before the
game was. half finished.
The Islanders tossed away a num-
Der of chances TO cause trouble for
Bowman before their stirring finish.
These were chargeaDle to the base
running. Each time Dubuque took
advantage of the opportunity to cut
down runner and stop threat
ened rally.
Sam Holden pitched the first
eight innings, giving way to pinch
hitter in the eighth. Dubuque
punched hits in the first. third and
eighth frames. to score their total of
six. Craig. who relieved Holden in
the ninth, held the enemy safe, and
by SO doing gets credit for the vic
tory.
Score in First.
The visitors counted two runs in
the first Riley led off with base
on balls and stole second. Young
struck out, but Anderson's single
to center scored Riley. Hyde's
dsauble TO left counted Anderson.
IN the third inning, Young
opened for Dubuque with single
to center and stole second. An
derson was passed. Hyde laid
down sacrifice, on which Holden
tried for a force play at third and
failed. With the bases loaded, Con-
zelman took Sullivan's grounder and
threw to the plate, forcing Young.
Hopes were shattered when Targee
doubled to center, scoring Ander-
son and Hyde. Sullivan was thrown
out trying to reach the plate on
Jones grounder to Swenson. Graves
bounced one toward short which
Norton mussed up. permitting Tar
gee to register the third score of
the inning.
Dubuque finished its scoring in
the eighth. Targee got his second
double of the game and registered

another when Downey walked,

of Holden's grounder and came
home on Norton's single to center.
Hit Ball Hard.
AS on the previous days. the Is
landers swatted the ball hard, ex-
cept that in only two innings did
they bunch their blows. Fourteen
hits, three of them doubles, were
marked up against Dubuque's nine,
four of which were doubles. Nc
Evan was the individual batting
star of the fracas, with four hits out
of five times at bat Norton, Fill
bingham, Newell and Gray got two
each.
