hopes of getting home vanished.
For Milwaukee Stevens struck out
and Kraus cleverly fielded a hot one
from Long that reached first before
the runner. Two out and the relent-
less rooters rose up to applaud, when
some one said Klopf was a wiener
wurst and a weakling. But Gus
was given a base, and then there
was some fun-for the little Ala
bama coon that turns handsprings
over the plate when the Milwaukee
boys are at bat. Weaver hit to
Stratton, and in a hurried moment
the latter threw a little wrong to
Camp. Buck saved his chance and
Sharpe hit over the fence for two,
Klopf going home and Weaver to
third. Larry Twitchell scored both
base runners by fly to left that al
most smashed Georges face, because
he couldn't see it. Larry scored on
Moran's two-base hit over the fence,
but Irwin broke the spell by very
fine catch of a difficult fly.
Two runs fell to st. Paurs lot in the
fourth. Stratton went out easy, short
to first; George made a clean hit to
center; Camps fly was caught by
Nicol; Pickett was given two base on
a close decision of fair ball over the
fence at the foul line. Burns made a
hit that sent George and Pickett home.
In running from second to third Pickett
interfered with the ball, but Cantillion
did not see him do it. as he was watch
ing Burns run to second. The visitors
roared, but the umpire was entirely in
nocent of wrong, for he could not call
man out on something he did not
see. When the roar was over Boyle
was put out, pitcher to first. Mil
waukee got a run in the last half on
Stephens hit, passed ball and Klopf's
line hit over Twins head
Twitchell and his men were sullxing
now, and they paid the penalty, for ST.
Paul scored five runs after two men
were out. Irwin and Stratton made
good hits, so did George and Camp,
and so did Pickett. Twitchell made a
vain effort to handle Pickett's hit, but
a mixture occurred when Pickett
started for second, anG in the confu-
sion George and Camp scored, as Irwin
and Stratton had before them. Burns
advanced Pickett to third and then
Moran opened a way for Jack to score,
which he did. Boyle struck out and
Burns was left. The Brewers tailed
three times on Sharpe's single, Twit-
chelPs long homer that won him gem
erous applause, Nicols fly that STRAIT
ton couldn't get, and Taylor'S hit by
Irwin, which let Nicol to third, whence
he scored on a throw to second to
head off Taylor's steal.
Neither side tailed in the sixth, and
some very clever playing was done by
both teams.
In the seventh George and Camp
went out in short order. Pickett made
a hit, and then it was that Mr..
Stephens let Burns and Boyle get to
bases on poor balls. Johnston found
one he liked, and while the fielders
chased it the audience yelled all sorts
of compliments at Johnston, who had
previously pleased them by pitching
very nice game. The pitcher was left
on third, unfortunately for he de-
served a rum when KrauS went out
from Taylor to first.
Nothing for the Brewers in their half,
nor did either club realize anything
from their efforts in the eighth. One,
two, three, out, was the story, on
weak hitting and sharp fielding.
Opening the ninth Camp was hit by
the ball; Nicol gathered in Pickett's
fly; then Burns drove enc along the
left foul line for two bases, and he
followed Camp home when Boyle sent
the sphere into left field far enough to
enable him to go to second. The next
two men knocked easy ones in the air,
and all the runs were counted, for the
Brewers could not manage to get a run
in their half. The tabulated score fol-
