the Islanders perpetrated a mas
sacre of the unsuspectirg Dubuque
club at Douglas park yesterday ait
ernoon. The score was 10 to z,
which was quite some accomplish
ment for the opening day.
The locals welded a wicked
bludgeon at every stage of the mat
inee, going scoreless but not hitless
in only one inning. Mixed up in
their sum total of % hits, were a
home run, two triplets and trio OF
doubles. Besides this they pilfered
FIVE bases, accepted two free tickets
to first and committed nary a mis-
play in the field.
While his mates were making life
rather miserable for three hurlers,
trotted out by Manager Larry Null
len of the visitors in a vain attempt
to check the avalanche of base hits,
one Mr.. Fred Radloff of Coal Val
ley was observing his initial ap-
pearance in the role of Lacquer by
setting the DubuQuerS down with
monotonous regularity.
Fred breezed through the first
three innings without permitting
any hits or runs. In the fourth he
was nicked for a clean single to
left by Third Baseman Henges. That
much of display had to satisfy the
Mullen tribe until the sixth, when
Anderson defended himself from a
pitched ball by pushing it into right
field for two bases. Hyde bumped
a grounder down Shortstopway
which took a bad hop and re-
bounded from Curt Norton's chest.
There was nothing more doing
against Radon until the eighth.
With an 18-run advantage, Fred
eased up-as it was proper he
should. A base on balls and a
couple of hits Melted the visitors
their only runs.
versatility, Radloff contributed
three hits, two of which we're triples
that carried the ball to the flag
pole. Curt Norton also drove a
liner over the left felder's head
that was good for three sacks. The
circuit wallop was delivered by
Fillingham with one on in the
fourth. The ball stopped in the vi
cinity of the fiagpole. and Fflly
managed to complete the circuit by
making a slide for the plate.
Gray Gets Four.
Preston Gray was the heavy
sticker of the Islanders, with four
hits out of five trips to the plate.
One was a double which in the ordi-
nary course of events should have
been a clean home run. The pellet
struck the scoreboard and re-
bounded to the playing field.
Manager Jimmy Councilman as
sumed the role of first baseman and
accredited himself in real style. He
accepted II chances, made three
hits in five times at bat and Tailed
a run. Jim had an abundance OF
pepper, that served to keep his
players trying for everything all
the way.
The Islanders wasted no time in
getting started on the joyful jour

for one base to center field after
Norton grounded out, TO start the
game. a base on balls to McEwan,

The Islanders went scoreless in
the second inning, but drove Lefty"
Blenner to the bench soon after the
start of the third session. He was
yanked when Fillingham singled
and Newell doubled with one gone.
Lackey came on TO share the fate of
his predecessor on the mound.
Gray's single and ConZelman's
double accounted for three runs.
Six in Seventh.
The locals scored seven runs in
the next three innings and then
came the seventh and sextet of
counters. Shade, who was shifted
from second base to the mound had
the misfortune to start his chucking
at this inopportune stage of the
game. Shade began well enough |
