At O'Clock yesterday afternoon nearly 1880
people had gathered at the West Seventh street
park to see Foster pitch. The latter has been
slowly recovering from an injury to a tendon in
the right arm received at Quincy, H., some
weeks ago, and not Until yesterday did he feel
able TO use it again. When the popular favorite
took his position in the box in the last half of
the first inning the audience received him with
an ovation of cheers, to which he responded by
raising his cap. moment later he pitched the
first ball. sharp crack was heard distinctly all
over the ground and the sphere went spinning
ten feet to the right of the batter. Foster
turned pale, but stood in his position until the
players in the vicinity reached him. An exami-
nation proved that he had snapped the bone of
the right arm just above the elbow. He was i'm
mediately taken to the dressing room, where
Drs. Richardson and Davenport who were wit
Messing the game, temporarily bandaged
the limb. Shortly afterwards he
taken in a carriage to the office of DR.. Richard
son, where the arm was properly set. Those
who saw the sad accident realized the helpless
position in which the wounded man placed,
and everybody felt like making slight contri-
button towards bringing him back to health and
strength again George Allen and George Walsh
volunteered to take up collection, and the dol
lars, halves and quarters, representative of
Christian charity. fell into their hats like rain in
Maytime. A few minutes later it was ann ounced
that sire had been collected and would be sent
to Mr.. Foster at once. The announcement of
this princely donation was greeted with applause,
and the spectators settled down in their seats to
see the game
O'Brien took up his position in the box and
Dealey got inside uniform and supported him
behind the bat. Carroll went to third base and
CANCEL to right field. The anne prove remark
ably interesting and exciting throughout, and it
is strange that more runs were not made. st.
Paul scored three times and had four men left on
third base, and Milwaukee, although whitewashed,
got three men to third, and had men left
warming their toes on bases in
six different innings. The fielding
on both sides was, of course, more than usually
sharp, but the result was mainly due to the ef
fective work of OBren in pitching. The Mil
waukee sluggers could not gauge his delivery,
and but four safe hits, in four different innings,
were made off him. Right here it would not be
out Of place to say what has from the first been
| our opinion that O'Brien is the best general
| player in the team. He covered first with credit,
he did excellent work at third and now he turns
up in the pitchers position and surprises every
| body with his effectiveness. Besides doing good
to cali forth favorable remarks. The man who
| commits larceny second when he is pitching
| earns his base. OBrien has always been a fa-
vorite in st. Paul, and his work of yesterday in
creases the esteem in which he was already held.
Werrick has played better since he returned to
st. Paul. and is becoming something of batter,
| his total yesterday being the best of any in the
| team. Carroll did a credtabe days work
| at third, but he didn't tumble to Porters
drops at all. Henge's second base
play was usually brilliant. Tiey and Calvin
covered left and right in fine style and Barnes
had no fielding to do and drew his pay on a base
| hit. Dunn put ont twelve men at first without
skip, made Il base hit and gave the audience
| splendid exhibition of base running. Dealey
caught every bail that was fired at him, made
| beautiful two base hit and a run, and this was
| quite enough for one man to do a single game.
! For the visitors Moynahan and Hogan led in
| fielding and Baldwin in batting. st. Paul scored
| twice in the second inning on hits by Camel,
| Tilley and Werrick and an error by Porter In
the eighth another added on hits by Hengle
| Barnes and Dunn and passed ball. In the last
made the audience very nervous. Griffin led off
by taking first on Werrck' tumble. Moynahan
sent fly to Tilley and Baldwin hit to left field
for a base, putting Griffin to second, the latter
| taking third and Baldwin second on Porter's out
from pitcher to the plate, but Broughton ended
the game in three aboItive attempts to find the
ball. The score in detail is given below:
