The Islanders tasted their first
defeat OF the season at Douglas
mark Yesterday afternoon. The dose
vas administered by Frank Boyle's
Marshalltown Ansons to the tune
ef TO 4.
A lot of nice things have been
said about the silyer-haired veteran
assembling fast aggregation, and
the kind of baseball displayed by
his team yesterday is indication
enough that the advance publicity
has not been oVerdone.
Eliminating that one bad inning,
the sixth, in which the visitors put
the game in the bag, the contest was
one in which good pitching for both
clubs played prominent parts. Rad
loft was nicked for six hits, TWO
of them doubles and one a triple,
in that off frame, but in the other
eight innings he handled the An
sons with neatness and dispatch.
But while Radloff was able to
hold the Boylemen down in all but
one inning, Harry Holschaw, OPP
posing slabman, never. relinquished
command of the situation. True,
in the seventh when hits by Fill
Bingham, Gray and Newell scored
two runs, Boyle ordered prospec-
tive relief man to exercise. But
this proved unnecessary. Hoi-
schaw settled down and got easy
out on the next three men, leaving
Gray to die on third base.
Fight StrikeOutS.
This Holschaw person, by the
way. forced eight Islanders to re-
tuTn to the bench via the strikeout
route. Radloff succeeded in getting
the third strike past quartet or
Ansons.
Marshalltown drew first blood
by pushing a runner across in the
openinp session. After Forsythe
grounded to McEwan and was
tossed out. Ford sent double down
the left field foul line. A moment
later he came home when McEwan
mussed up Daley's grounder.
The Islanders took the lead in
their half of the fourth. Singles by
Swenson and McEwan and double
by Newell scored two.
Marshalltown came right back IN
the fifth and knotted the count at
two each. Successive doubles by
Forsythe and Ford accomplished
the business. And now to relate
the sad story of the sixth
Sixth in Sixth.
Lenahan opened the round by
falling to avoid Radloffs fast one.
The Coal Valley miner worked hard
en- Bliss, finally retiring him on
strikes. but on the third wave Len
ahan stole second. Then double
to center delivered by Anderson
counted Lenahan Anderson held
third on Walls single to left. Sulli-
vans double to left scored Ander-
sen and sent Wall to the far corner.
Holschaw poked a single to CEN
ter. scoring Wall Forsythe then
drove a vicious liner to right field,
good for three bases any day in the
week, but in this instance the run
ner came all the way home, result
of Radloff letting the return throw
escape him and role to the grand
stand.
That was the finish of the scoring
for the visitors but enough damage
had been done, as further events
proved. The Islanders rallied in
the eighth, but were stopped four
\ runs shy of the tie.
N In that inning, Ffllingham beat
out an infield hit and scored on
NewelIs long double to right field.
Newell reached third on a wild
pitch, and from there walked in to
touch the plate. How? o. Gray
met one of Holschaw's hooks with
the end of his stick and gave the
ball a ride to the flagpole Gray
11A Of srI
Holschaw proceeded to force Con-
zelman to fly out. Eckhart to role
out and Radloff to strike out.
Except for & base on balls to
Norton in the eighth. both teams
went out one, two, three in the last
two frames.
Hit Ball Hard.
Ford, right fielder for Boyle, was
the leading sticker of the day. He
connected four times out of five
trips to the plate, two of his blows
being legitimate doubles. Ander-
son, his teammate, made two doubles
and a single out of three chances.
Fersythe. former Milwaukee player,
hit for a double and triple.
Gray and McEwan led the batting
of the Islanders. The former hit
at 500 clip, once for a double
and again for a triple. McEwan
beat out an infield hit in the first
inning and hit clearly to left in the
third. Waliy Newell nearly tore
the cover from the apple on three
occasions but only once found safe
territory. Then it was good for
two bases.
Same Clubs Again.
Same clubs this afternoon, to-
morrow and Monday. For good.
snappy baseball, the fan owes it to
himself to turn out. Yesterdays
game brought out about twice the
attendance recorded on the proceed
ing day outside of the opening
matinee, and those fans were amply
rewarded.
