Ct'.ck Frazer, Danville's new pitcher, made hie first appearance in the Three-Eye league yesterday afternoon and set a new league record in strikeouts. Inci dentally, he gave Rock Island a ter rific drubbing, pulling out of one of the worst holes a pitcher could pos sibly drop himself into. Lakaff started things for the a iait tors in the eighth by hitt'ng to the right field fence, but he only made cne base on what should have been a triple. Ilechtold walked and Sner er doubled to left center, scoring both. These were the only scores the visitors made. But had Snyder let him pass when Sherer attempted to steal home the score would have been tied.
