and ran bases in a manner to bring
tears Of joy to the average fan. Irwin
at short was wonderfully clever, and
his running catch Of hard grouTder
from Cassidy's bat in the seventh in
ming bathed the bleaehers in a per
spiration Of happiness. Lefty Mari
didn't care for the best pitcher that
ever performed gymnastics in the box,
and his three-bagger to center field
was not only the longest and cleanest
drive ever made on the home grounds,
but it brought in run. Lefty also
worked his favorite trick Of getting
his base on balls twice to the sad dis
comfture of the Wolverine twirler,
who couldn't twirl little bit. Boyle
played himself into popular favor, and
his great work began in the very be-
ginning.
HE WORKED LIKE A TROJAN
behind the bat, hit the ball hard and
ran bases like an Indian. Mullane
pitched a ball which the Wolverines
couldn't find, played horse with the
other pitcher and so placed one of his
pretty drives to right that it brought
in Comiskey and Pickett Comiskey
was faultless on first, and came in for
a single that had good effect on the
run-getting. Smith played : a great
game at left, and at the bat o O'Rourke
hit hard, and played foxey ball, and
Pickett distinguished himself by his
general aII-around play. They ali
played foxey ball, and they proved
what they can do when they want
to go at it.
Two of the Grand Rapids team
worked in home runs by swiping the
leather over the fence, but this wound
up their run-getting, and they were
never heard from after that. They
never got farther than second base
after the fifth inning, and at no time
was there the slightest danger of their
winning the game. They were out
fielded, outbatted and outplayed at
every point, and if the Apostles can
only keep up that sort of ball playing,
their success in this city is assured
There is no earthly doubt that Capt.
Comiskey's appearance on the ball
field in uniform does the boys good.
Generally when he has played the
team has won. 1t will please the pa
irons of the game here to see him at
first base in every game played here
after. Considering his treatment at
the hands of the Grand Rapids team,
Umpire Battin is entitled to great
credit for keeping his head. IT his de-
cisions were a trif1e off in a few IN
stances, the Wolverines have only
themselves to thank for it. They
badgered and harassed him whenever
they got an opportunity:
The game began well, and up to the
fourth inning it looked as though 1t
would be hard fought and exciting.
IT was hard fought in this way: That
the Grand Rapids team made up for
their poor work by kicking long and
freqently. They will be sorry on sal
ary day when Battin's little
SLIPS COME ROLLING IN.
In the first inning Smith hit the
second ball pitched, but was thrown
out at first. O'Rourke followed suit,
and Camp, on coming to bat, hit the
first ball over the fence for two bases. |
Marr got his base on balls, but lr-
win fouled out to Earl and retired the
side. Grand Rapids began their dirty /
tactics on the start and insisted on
Growing too close to the home plate, |
offering suggestions of an absurd ma |
ture. and making remarks which gen. |
tlemen do not make. Mullane refused
to pitch until they were removed, and
Jmpire Battin ordered them back. !
They went while the crowd hoWled
with delight. Wright flew out to Camp
and Immediately afterwards Wheeiock
drove the ball into short center. Camp
made a beautiful running catch ana
caught the crowd. Carroll struck out,
and being the meanest of the kickers,
he was hissed all the way to his sta
ton.
Pickett opened the second by fouling
out to third base, Comiskey was field
ed out at first and Mullane took first
on a clean hit into the right garden.
BoyIe went out on a short hit to
the pitcher. For the Wolverines,
George drove the ball into Camps ter
ritory, and again the latter won the !
plaudits of the crowd by a clever
running catch. Earle flew out to Pick
EFT and Callopy famed the air beau
tifully three times.
In the third Smith led off, but failed
to reach first. O'Rourke hit far out to
left and went out Camp hit fly to
center field, but the sun was in
Wright's eyes, and he missed the ball.
Afterwards, in trying to catch Camp
mapping at first, the ball was thrown
wildly, and Camp and the baseman
fell in a heap. On arising, Cassidy
held Camp to prevent his going on to
second. At this point Marr drove the
sphere away out in left field for three
bases, bringing Camp home and setting
the crowd wild. The hit was clean
one,
CLEAR OVER THE FIELDER'S
head and Marr was the hero of the
hour. Irwin hit into the same garden,
but the fielder got it and the side
went out. On coming in, Cassidy, for
the opposing team, drove the leather
over the fence and trotted home. Tru-
by and Wright failed to reach first.
Wheelock hit for two bases into the
left garden, and Carroll retired the
side by fouling out to Boyle.
1t was in the fourth inning that the
trouble came, and the Apostles got
even for their defeats at Grand Rapids.
Pickett hit the first ball through the
second baseman's legs and stopped on
second base. Comiskey evidently
thought the second baseman was some
what off, and he raped hot liner in
that direction. The baseman fumbled
it and allowed Charlie to get to first
Comiskey wasn't satisfied with this,
for he stole second, and just to make
the thing strong, Mullane drove the
ball over against the right field fence
and brought in Pickett and Comis-
key Boyle bunted the ball and sat
down on the first bag while the Wolver-
ines were engaged in fumbling. Smith
thought this was pretty good and
bunted, too, taking first while the Mich
igan boys played horse with the ball.
There was no one out when O'Rourke
came to the plate with his potato
smashoer. He chose the first ball, an
inshot, you know, and sent it over the
