YESTERDAYS GAME.

Iouri, where the cyclone WallOWS and
the simeon bowls: where the Flip Flap
flops and the cows runs loose; where
the Fizz Gug blooms and the nights
are hot; where the Ing Bings blush in
the gruesome swamp and the BectCes
glide with a ghoulish glee; where the
Buzzards buzz in the darksome gloom
and the wood-tick ticks and the chip
munk chips, there lives a ball team
which goes by the name of Jimmy
Manning's Blues Glad of the oppor-
tunity to shake from their skates the
clinging earth of their chosen home,
they hied themselves to the bright
Northwest with visions of victories
many and sweet.
Bur they struck only snags, and yes
terday's snag punched a fearful hole
in the bottom Of the club. Count Null
lane was the snag, and his supporters
gave the visitors points on base ball
that may help them some when they
go elsewhere.
The six thousand or more people who
braved a boiling August sun and an
atmosphere reeking with humidity,
saw the most exciting and hardest
fought battle that ever occurred on the
local diamond. 1t was a battle to the
death in almost every sense, and the
hitting and superior field play. The
Cowboys, under Manning's lead,
fought with all the earnestness and
vigor they could command. They re-
sorted to every trick known to the
professional ball toSser They yelled
and howled, and danced and sang
songs. and endeavored to throw Count
Nullane into a hopeless state of con-
fusion.
But they failed. They had run up
against the real thing. and they
wouldn't do. Their play was not sharp
enough. Their tricks were vain in
every instance. Their fielding was
slow and their bats were full of wind.
They put young Mr.. Fricken in the
box, and although he pitched q hand
some game, our slUggers managed to
touch him up often and severely
enough to bring in the runs which
push US to within two points OF second
place Today. Count Mullane was we'll
nigh invincible. He was puzzle they
found it hard to solve. and had he not
lest control of the ball occasioally, on
account of an injured finger, the Cow
boys would stack up this morning with
less runs to their credit.
TIE FIRST THREE INNINGS
ragged play on both sides. Then the
Saints settled down and played superb
bail. Their hitting was clean and time
1y; their fielding was sharp and ac-
curate, and they ran bases beautifully
The Cowboys themselves took a brace
about the middle of the game and
played faultlessly, but even then they
couldn't stop the Aow of runs, for the
Saints were hitting the ball. Towards
the end the fighting became sharp
The Cowboys rallied occasionally, and
advanced only 10 be repulsed, and the
lock on Manning's face when he saw
the jig was up should have been
photographed and saved for reference
The crowd was the largest ever seen
here at a ball game. Il was the most
enthusiastic, and from beginning to
end reVeled in excitement. IN the last
inning, Nanning's men spurted but it
was \ weak effort, and the playing of
the Saints soon put an end to the
squirt and the game. Every man of
Comiskey'S team is entitled to credit
for that victory. They ali played ball.
irwin played superbly at short and
thumped the leather hard, his home
run in the first inning sending the peo-
pie into spasm of delight. Boyle be-
hind the bat, worked beautifully.
O Rourke played brilliant game at
third, and George, ever watchful, field
Ell perfectly, and hit hard, and ac-
complished a trick in the seventh inn
ing which earned him a storm of an
piause. Nichols was on second, and
Fernon on first. Nichols started to
steal third, and was thrown out beau
tifully by Boyle, and in the meantime
HernOn stole down to second Then
came a wrangle at third base, and the
teams collected around the spot leay-
ing the second bag unguarded I'm
consciously, Hernon played off, when
George, slipping in from left, coaxed
the ball from Tony's hands and caught
Bernon out by ten feet retiring the
size. Picketts work at second was
excellent, Burns .fielded well and hit
hard, and Kraus and Camp bofn
earned credit for good field work and
timely hitting.
The Saints started in with a beautf-
full swing. Tim O'Rourke, as usual. got
his base on balls and was driven home
by Charlie Irwins corking drive over
the fence for home run, which made
tire great crowd
WILD WITH JOY.
Araus. George and Camp were quick
~ retired, and the COWBOYS, came in

lhelr own efforts, but because Tony
had not fully recovered from his injury
ana was wild enough to force two runs

to O'Rourke, who was told to throw the
bail to second, and it reached there too
late. The bases were full Nichols
was hit on the arm, and, monkey that
he is, played off hurt, but it didn't go
with Cantillion. He got his base on
balls, however, and Manning was forced
