ST. LOUIS. May 9.-The st. Pauls
played here to-day, and their display
was fully what the word play is de-
fined in the dictionary. Had Staley
pitched beer kegs over the plate at
Sportsman park to-day it is doubtful
whether the st. Paul team would have
made enough hits to win the game.
Three was the sum total in nine
Innings with an everyday ball,
and Shafpr scored two of these.
There were some queer motions made
during the game by the visitors, which
their opponents and the spectators
were inclined to be believe were at
temptS to cripple Beckley at first base,
and whether ii was their intention or
not, they were nearly successful. Beck
ley is one of the most inotfenSive men
III the team, and has never had any
trouble in his position until to-day. In
the seventh inning MorriSSy, who is big
enough to knock the cover off the ball,
if he could find it, ran into Becllley and
injured his arm. Jake hung on to the
ball, however. and retired the man. In
and landed on his back about ten feet
from the base. He succeeded, however,
in knocking the ball out of Beckiey'S
hands, but he was declared ont. This
may have been earneStpeSS or deter
minati0n to win the game, but it was
not very friend-making piece of work.
Anderson did very we'll for st. Paul,
and the team would have made much
better showing if it had played
anywhere near as well, but his support
all around was bad. He struck Staley
i'll the shoulder, but did not cripple him.
MOrrisSy made two of the prettiest stops
and pick-IpS during the game ever seen
on this or any other ball field. He
started into play first, but changed with
Neach to third base after the third in
ming. 1t was while at third that he made
the two great plays. Staley pitched one
of his best games, and was
ADMIRABLY SUPPORTED
all around, but his playing was not SUI
peri0r to that of Anderson, as four
bases OIL balls were taken off him and
only two off Anderson, and Staley also
pitched a wild ball. Murphy and Veach
both muffed fly balls, and Kemmler
made wild throw. Murphy's mutf i'll
center field in the first inning let in
man. Carroll had very little to do, and
llO ltlllll ~ SlON NIidU was III
him. Veach mutfed fly in the eighth
inning without serious results.
KemmIer passed one ball and
ranked next to Anderson in his
able playing. Pickett made mutf at
short stop, but was lively player and
covered his territory well. Nicholson
opened the game with a single. reached
second on wild throw by Shafer, but
was put out at the plate while trying to
run i'll on Crooks grounder to Ander-
son. Crooks went to second on the play
and scored on Murphy'S mutf OF Burch's
lily. After two outs in the third, Staley
was hit by a pitched ball, and hits
by Becllley, Crooks and Burch,
and an error by Pickett. melted
Two runs. Anderson made run for
the visitors in the same inning on hit
to left, steal and two wild pitches. In
the fourth Kenyon made hit and
Cautz double along the left foul line,
Oil which Kenyon scored. Kenyon
scored in the sixth Oh his hit to center,
single by Dolan and Staley's double.
In the eighth st. Paul got in another
run. Crooks failed to handle Ander-
sons hit. and Skaters double advanced
him TO third and he scored Oh Murphy's
sacrifice Score.
