COULDN'T HIT DUKE.
The Apostles Fall Easy Victims to
the MillerS.

Martin Duke took sweet revenge on
John Barnes hired men yesterday for
the way they finessed him of a victory
at the Sanity City on Sunday. Before
going into the box he ruminated some
time on the fourteen runs made on
July 4, and then thought little while
of the funny business at the West st.
Paul park the day before, and
when he commenced to pitch he
pitched a game of ball that made the
heart of the cranks glad. Not a hit was
made by the Apostles up to the fourth
inning, when Reilly pounded out
single to left, but died in an attempt to
jump the next claim. Carroll, however.
scored in that inning on a base on balls
and two ineXcuSable errors by Mime
han, the second giving Miller a life; the
latter tried to make second Oh it, how
ever, and was thrown out by big Tur-
ner. The next hit was made by Halves
in the sixth. Billy hit the first
ball pitched in that inning. He
went down to second on a passed
ball and to third on one of the many
bad throws that characterized Dugdale's
work behind the bat. The next three
men went out in order, however, with
out offering Billy chance to kiss the
plate. In the seventh Carroll got base
on balls and went to third on another of
"Dug's" woody throws. Miller sent in
hot one to Duke, who threw him out
at first, and Minnehan got the ball back
to home in time to stop Car
Toll, who was coming in on
jump. Farmer got a double in
the next inning. and sacrifices
by Tuckerman, and HAYES brought
him over the plate, giving the Saints
one earned run.
Poor coaching killed Drischel at the
plate in the home teams half OF the
first inning. and no one showed a dis
position to go beyond the second bag in
the next. In the third Moxie HengIe's
double brought in Foster and Miller,
who had made singles, and Turner
brought the little second baseman
over the plate with rafting single.
In the next inning Lucky Tuck's luck
deserted him entirely; and base on
balls, passed ball with two errors by
Werrick, three singles and Joe Miller's
double brought in five runs. A pretty
double play from Reilly to Werrick to
Halves closed the inning. The MilIer's
failed TO score again until the ninth in
ming when base on balls, steal,
sacrifice and Dugdale's hit brought
Hengle over the plate.
Duke pitched wonderful game. He
let down on his speed somewhat, and
the strike outs placed to his credit are
fewer in number than he usually lets
the opposing team off with, but he did
great deal of head work and only
three safe hits were made off him. His
support. especially behind the bat, was
decidedly yellow. Dugdale, who is far
from well, had two passed balls, one
of them on third strike, and dropped
numerous third strikes, allowing
base runners to advance. His throwing
to bases was very bad, and Hengle
didn't make the best of it, either. Min
nehan's two rank errors at first are not
so much to be condemned as if he had
made them out of four or five chances.
He had twenty chances. and got seven
teen put-outs and one assist, which
makes very good fielding average.
Foster and Murphy did fine work in
center, and were loudly cheered, as
were also Duke and Miller Turner's
failure to coach DriSchel in the first
inning cost the home team run. The
score:
