Rock Island Takes Fan Out Of Proud st
JOe In Fine Game.


II we didn't. The explanation is simp-
~ that Packard was no terror to our
sluggers. who had no trouble in solv-
ing his curves when they wanted to.
as the hit column will show n
total Of II hits for Rock Island to
for st. Joe. Again our hits were
made when they were needed. and
this kept the crowd wild with en-
thusiasm.
Rock Island went to bat and
Sweeney flew out at second. Cantil-
lion got a base on balls, attempted to
steal second and was arrested and
put out. Joe Katz hit down to short
and got first. and Hill plunked away
at one and drove it down to short.
and on the error which followed Katz
scored and Zeis flew out. For St.
Joe. Mohlcr got "A base on balls, and
got to third on Coles hit in rirht
field, and scored on a wild throw to
third by Sage. Mcfarland died at
first on Hills assist, and Armstrong
at the same spot on Lynch's assist.
For four more innings the score
stood to l, but in the sixth Dame
Fortune smiled on the boys, and an
old straggler with happy smile
playing around his face like a hungry
fox around a chicken-coop, scraped
his way up TO the rubber homer, aud
shortly after there was a crash like
the falling of some heavy bludgeon
in basket of eggs. Every seam in
the ball seemed to have been ripped
simultaneously, and off into ambient
space it yelped, and Joe Katz made
one OF his customary diamond cir
cults. midst n noise that rcsembled a
republican county convention nomi-
mating candidate for sheriff. ..Bell-
dine" Hill, formerly brass pound
er, next succeeded in cinching his
claim as n ball FOUNDER by putting
the sphere over the left field fence for
home run, and perhaps the crowd
didn't go wild with Joy at that; it
fairly shook the earth. Zeis, Connors
and Sage went out in order. st. Joe
cgged in its half of the sixth and
Rock Island dittoed in the seventh.
Not so with the g" well, the Mis-
sourians. Cole hit to Lynch, who
fumbled, and the young man whose
name is cutting such figure
all over the country just now, be-
cause there is not enough of it,
reached first. O'Conner went out at
first on hit to Hill, which advanced
Cole a peg. About this stage of the
game u man named Mcfarland, one
of the ..Joe's," slammed out home
run over tine right field fence and tied
the score. Armstrong and Preston
both died at first. In the eighth
Rock Island scored one; Cantillion
got hit out in left, katZ got base
on balls and second on Hills sacri-
flee. Cantillion was on third, when
up came ..Waddie" Zeis. He brought
around his Indian club and met one
of Packard's shoots with biff that
looked rs if it would never stop. but
Mcfarland got underit in right field,
and Cantillion came home on the
play, Katz going to third and staying
on Connors' out at first on an awful
swish ut short. st. Joe failed to
score in its half. Rock Island
scored two in the ninth. Sage
got base on balls, Lynch placed 8
nice hit in left field over third, and
'.Silent" Harry Sonier forced Sage al
third on his hit to that spot. Sweeney
got a base on balls, and Cantillior
made hit over short, which brough
Lynch home. KatZ sacrificed ant
Sonier came home. Hill went out oI
Il flv to short. st. Joe made one il
the ninth on Mohler's home run ovel
the right field fence. The sweetes
story ever told:
