Ottumwa wvened It up for their de feat at the hands of the Islanders on Thursday by taking yesterday's game by a score of 4 to 2, practically re versing the outcome of the day before In every way. Either Miller, the t wirier for the visitors, was something out of the ordinary, or else thelsland- Miller's Delivery Was Too Much for the Islanders. era had one and all left their batting clothes hanging on the wire line at the club house, for, as far as hitting was concerned, there was very little doing, and the game was a tame affair. The locals made only three hits In all and all of them came in the last inning, when It began to appear cer tain that Miller was going to have a no hit game to hang at his belt. Even with this, however, the Ottumwans had to be handed the game, as they did little to earn it. All four of the scores which they made came In one Inning, the sixth, when Harle Wag ner, whom Manager Tighe was trying on the mound, went up In the air. Bring Four Men Home. With one down, Russell, the ex Davenporter, beat out a grounder to Kelley, and Senno followed with a drive to center. Severide took one in the elats and filled the bags, where upon Wagner blew up and passed Brand, forcing Russell home. Wise All the Islanders Irives Went Right Into the Well. dumped one down In front of the pan and Wagner threw home in time to force the runner and stop the score, but the bases were etill filled, with two down. Another run was forced when Murphy waited for four wide ones, and then Link hit to right and scored both Brand and Wise. Murphy ended the inning by trying to pilfer ROCK ISLAND.

Larry LeJeune, the outfielder who was formerly with Dubuque, has been signed by Evansville in the Central league. Pete Lister of this city was sold yesterday Iby Detroit to Chattanooga, after giving Jones a merry run to hold his Job at first. Billy Purtell Is being rated by some of the critics as the very best thlra baseman in the American league. He is sure of his Job with the Sox. The Chicago Cubs Zeepos arrived in Peoria 24 hours ahead of the schedule, and played the first game yesterday instead of today, as had been intended. They will play again today and tomor row at Peoria, going to Danville Mon day and to Bloomtngton Tuesday. The Cubs are headed by Catcher Tom home. This one lone inning was the the only time that the visitors had the gbost of a chance, but they made the most of it and won the game by tak ing advantage of Wagner's wildness. No Hits t'ntll Ninth. The Islanders played a Tather list less game, going Inning after Inning without getting even the semblance of a hit. They scored a run in the first inning on a base on balls and an error. Hunter waited and went to second on Ochs out at first Davey rolled one down to Brand at second and the Ottumwa lnfielder fumbled It long enough to let Jim reach the In itial sack in safety and for Hunter to come home from second. From then on until the ninth, however, there was nothing doing. Ochs opened the last session with a hit to Tight which got by Ahring and allowed the speedy little center fielder to go clear to third. Davey grounded out via the shortstop route, but Ochs came home with the other of the Islanders' scores. McDonnell followed with a nice safe drive, ana after Kelly was put down, Vogel fol lowed with another, but then it was all over. Uhl grounded to short and Vogel was forced at second. Janicki relieved Wagner In the box after the latter's bad sixth inning, ana Pickering twirled the last round for the Islanders. The score of the game was as follows: ROfTTC ISLAND. AB. R.

Manager Boyle has turned Out fielder Rlggs over to Manager Plass of the Froeport club without having him report at Waterloo. Riggs is a Cincinnati man and is highly touted. Outfielder Murray, who was secured from Cedar Rapids, has been released outright. Manager Rowan has signed Pitcher Ernie Ovitz, who was declared a free agent after the Aberdeen team blew up. Ovitz is attending a medical school in Chicago and will not report till the term ends. Manager Rowan admits he had to offer a fancy price to get the twlrler, which again sug gests that Peoria is going away over the individual salary limit. Hannibal held the White Sox down In good shape for six Innings yester day and then put a local semi-professional on the mound and the big leaguers romped away with the game 9 to 2. Roy Dowers, Ginger Forney, Harry Swalm and Willie Prout ap peared in the Hannibal lineup. The Sox seconds took a trimming at Sioux City 9 to 4. score of 6 to 3. The trio of tallies credited to the Distillers was made In. the last inning, when Kroh loosened up for four bingles and two free passes. The locals couldn't find Kroh at any time in the game when nits meant runs except in the ninth. Only five h.s were made off his delivery in the first eight innings, but these were well scattered.

The visi tors clouted Burrel In the seventh, net ting six runs. Iowa batted Archer from the box In the eighth. The hitting of Hanson and Benson for the varsity was the feature of the game. Daven port went home last night, but will re turn here Wednesday for four games. NOTES OF THE GAME Minneapolis here tomorrow. Not an error by the Islanders, like wise very few hits. But then it's all in the game. Jacobsen batted for Janicki in the eighth inning, and much was expected of him, but he ignominiously struck out. 1 Something wrong yesterday with the Islanders' hitting eye. Miller looked easy enough and still the ball refused to be met squarely. The visitors from the north end of the American association have some men who have often stood In the lime light of the baseball firmament. At that it was not such an uneven game. Only four hits off three Isl ander pitchers. Those passed to first coupled with hits in the sixth did the business. The Ottumwa team which faced ns this year looked a heap better than the one which was here last season. Egan is doing a pretty good job with his recruits and he has a likely bunch of them." Get out, ye fans, and root. Don't think that because the games now are merely exhibitions that they have no class to them. There are going to be some hummers before the real strug gl opens. Pitcher Quiesser. who- was bought from Memphis, will be used against Minneapolis either today or tomorrow. Quiesser has not been called upon for any work this year and he will be watched with interest, as he is said to be a crackajack. McDonnell is sold Manager Plass of Freeport Takes Is lander Recruit. Edgar J. McDonnell, the Islander outfield recruit, has been sold to Free port. McDonnell came here after buy ing his own release from Lansing in the Southern Michigan league and he was said to be some punkins. He failed to get into gear right off the reel, however, and when Plass showed a liking for him it was decided to let him-go. . i WILL PASS THROUGH HERE Longest Single Day's Ron in History of Event lietween Texarkana and Dallas. Detroit, April 9. The Chalmers "30" official pathfinder for the Glidden tour of 1910 has been shipped to Cin cinnati, the "official starting point of the tour. The pathflnding trip will start Mon day, April 11. This was the decision of Chairman S. M. Butler of the con test board of the American Automobile association when 'he stopped In Chi cago th: first of the week for a con ference on Glidden tour matters be fore he left for the coast. He further announced that the night controls will be Louisville, Nashville, Florence, Ala.; Memphis, Little Rock. Ark.; Dallas, Texas; Oklahoma City, Wichita, Kan.; Kansas City, Mo.; St. Joseph, Mo.; Des Moines, Iowa; Dav enport and Chicago. Sundays will be spent in Memphis and St. Joseph. This year's Glidden will contain the longest single day's run in the history o fthe event; from Texarkana to Dal las, a distance of 230 miles. The long est day in the 1909 tour was from Sa liua, Kan., to Kansas City, a distance of 212 miles. Record In Length. This year's tour will also be longer than that of 1900 which established a record for Glidden tours. Last year the Gliddenites covered approximately 2,300 miles between Chicago and Kan sas City by way of Minneapolis and Denver. This year's route will be something ovtr 2,500 miles. Chairman Butler believes that this year's Glidden event will set a record for entries. Inquiries to date indicate great interest in the tour among man ufacturers of automobiles in all parts in the country. "I am confident that 1910 will see the largest of all Glidden tours," said Mr. Butler. Official Scout D. II. Lewis will reach Cincinnati Sunday, April 10. Joseph V.

Prest-O-Lite gas tank, Weed tire chains. MANY GOOD ONES Major Leagues Have Secured Number of Stars by Draft Method. DESPITE FACT OF DENIAL Several Three-Eye Leaguers Who Have Made iood Were Obtained in This Manner. Every little while the argument arises whether major league clubs ever have procured many good play ers by draft. Looking back over the record of the national commis sion it would seem that lots of ster ling performers have entered the major leagues by the draft route. For instance. President Frank Na vin of the Tigers, didn't buy Hugh Jennings from the Orioles, but draft ed him. Two of Charley Comiskey's best pitchers Ed Walsh and Frank Smith were drafted players. Hal Chase of the Highlanders also was drafted. President Frank Farrell did not have to pay fancy prices for Jimmy Austin, Earl Gardner or Jack Qulnn, all of whom were procured by the draft figure. Of the Giants. Otis Crandall, George Schlel, "Bugs" Raymond and Charley Herzog were drafted. The Tigers once drafted Owen Bush to oblige the Indianapolis club, and lat er had to pay the noosiers $5,500 for the little fellow's release. Two all-star teams, one to represent the American league and the other the National, could be picked from the men who have been drafted by the major organizations since, the nation al agreement has been In force. Amrrlrai Lraicar Rontrr. Members of the American league team would be Pitchers Walsh. Frank Smith, Charley Smith and Jack Quinn; Catchers Easterly and Livingstone; Infielders Hal Chase, Earl Gardner, Owen Bush and Jimmy Austin and Outfielders "Rube Old ring, Heinle Heitmuller and Arthur Griggs. The National league's club of this kind would have Nap Rucker, Orval Overall, "Babe" Adams and Howard Camnitz for pitchers, Jimmy Archer and Georfie Schlel behind the bat. Beck, Charley Herzog. Tommy Mc Millan anl Bobby Bryrne as infield ers and Sherwood Magee, J. Owen Wilson aid Mike Mitchell as out fielders. ' The . following list of players drafted from . the National league clubs fror.a 1903 to 1908, inclusive, l H EK000 00000000000X OOOOOOE3 certainly shows that many stars were procured for a fixed sum: Sraaon of 1003.
