BUT THE BLUES WON, TOO.

Yesterdays game between the
Saints and the Gold Bugs was a farce
comedy to a large extent, young Mr..
Reidy being the little joker about
whom the fun revolved. His curves
and shoots were pie for Comiskey's
men, and they hammered him so
hard that three balls were used up
during the painful operation. The
Saints had no trouble whatever in
winning the game in the first inning,
thanks to Mr.. Reidy's wildness and
few nice hits. After that the Gold
Bugs played like ice wagons, and
the only one who gave any eXhibi-
ton of base ball on that side was
Rasty Wright, who fielded splendidly
and made three of the ten hits made
by the team. So far as the visitors
were concerned the game was a mere
farce after the third inning, but the
Saints had a brilliant streak on,
and fielded superbly, Irwin and
Burns especially distinguishing
themselves, the former by several
well-nigh impossible stops, and the
latter by a magnificent running
catch to short center. All fielded
we'll and hit-well, look at the score
and see for yourself. The stick
work of Jack Pickett was phenome-
nal, he rapping out two home runs,
a triple and two singles, and little
Frank Kraus led the team in the
number Of hits. touching up Reidy
for six safe ones. The others were
all close by. Pepper pitched hand
sOmely for the first six innings, the
visitors being unable to do any
thing with him. He gave way to
Denzer just to give the youngster a
chance, and Denzer didn't give them
more than a single and a home run.
The game follows:
TOLD IN DETAIL.
O'Rourke led off with a base on balls.
Irwin was hit hard on the back of the
head by a pitched ball and dizzily
walked down to first, and a minute
later George went to first on balls,
filling the bases. Burns flew out to
left and O'Ruurke scored. Pickett
raped out a hot triple to center, send
ing irwin and George over the plate.

Camp went to third on a passed ball
and scored on Stratton's drive to first,

the side had batted around. Stratton
made a daring and pretty steal of third
and scored on O'Rourke's single to
right. Irwin hit to right and 1t was
muffed, O'Rourke taking third and
Charlie second bag. George raped
out a single to left and O'Rourke and
Irwin lolle1 across the plate. Burns
damned the leather a mile to left but
it turned into foul, so Burns chased
out a single to center and looked con-
tented. Pickett hit to Wheelock and
ended the hilarity. Rasty Wright, for
the Gold Bugs, hit a hot line fly to
left and Irwin reached out with
nice pair of mitts and nailed it. Whee-
lock flew out to Stratton and by
handsome stop Irwin threw Cassidy
out at first.
In the second Camp went to first on
balls and to third on Kraus' single to
right, Stratton flew out to Reidy and
Camp scored on Campbell's throw to
second to catch Kraus. Pepper sent
a neat single to right, O'Rourke flew
out to Reidy and Kraus and Pepper
scored on Irwin's single to short CEN
ter. George singled to left and scored
Irwin, and Burns quitting at first end
ed the fun for the Saints. Glenalvin
went out at first by Irwin. Stat
ford hit hot one to Pepper, who made
a neat left-handed stop, Shields got
in a single to center and Callopy
famed wind.
RUNS IN THE THIRD.
Pickett in the third died at first,
Camp pushed a sizzling single past
first. stole second, and scored on
Kraus' single against the fence. STRAIT
ton rushed one over the wire for two
bases, and Pepper flew one in the
same direction for a single, scoring
Kraus and Stratton. O'Rourke went
out at first: so did Irwin, and the
side quit business for awhile. For
the visitors Campbell went out at
first; likewise Reidy old boy. Rasty
Wright fooled the fielders who were
playing over in left, and raped out
a home run over the right field fence.
Wheelock flew out to Camp.
George, in the fourth, flew out to
left, and Burns stopped at first. Pick
EFT singled 10 leIt, ana went out try
ing to steal second, or rather while
running to second, because he didn't
try. The boys were only trying to
get out and hurry the game through.
Irwin made a beautiful running one
handed pickup of Cassidy's drive, but
the run was too long. Glenalvin got
life on balls. Then Burns made the
prettiest play of the season by a long
running catch to left of Stafford s
drive, and Shields cleared the bases
