ming it became evident that it was to be
battle of pitchers, Clarkson and Carruthers
the crack pitchers of the respective clubs,
being in splendid condition. Neither side
scored in the first inning and only one man
reached the first base-ONielI, OF st.
Lonis, who got the base on balls. For the

and in the sixth made third and last run
Ior the visitors by getting to third on a hit
which passed between the legs OF both Rob.
inson and Weleh and coming b ONE on Will
Iiamson's fly to Welch. Up to eighth in
ming the st. Louis had not made hit nor
rot bnt one man on first. On this inning,
however, Comiskey got first on safe hit
to the right, then Welch hit to Burns. who
threw the ball past Anson, allowing Comis-
key to score.
After Foutz and Robinson had retired
on flies, Bushong took the first on balls,
and Latham's three-base hit brought in
two runs. Latham, however, ran over
third and was touched out. Carruthers re-
tired the nine by going out at the first on
little hit to Burns. This left the score tied,
and the crowd went wild.
The ninth inning there WAS no runs for
either side, though Burns made two.base
hit The Chicagos, IN the tenth, retired in
one-two.three order. For St. Louis Welch
hit a safe past-second. Foutz hit to Will |

in with a winning run on a wild pitch. The
