OUT STILL THE FUN WENT ON.

And Comiskey saith unto the Apos-
ties: Go forth, be thou wise and use
every effort cen unto the straining
point, for must the Tigers fall be-
fore us ere the day is done" And
the Apostles heard him and were
wise. And STROBE they then to the
battle field and slew the Tigers
while the sun hid his face to shut
out the awful sight. Now it so hap
pened that it was the worst thing
ever seen on the local diamond. The
Apostles raised their mighty will
lows scores Of times and oft and
hammered two pitchers into a state
bordering on insanity, and the null
titudes sat silent nor stirred their
blood. Appalled, We're they at the aw-
full work of the Apostles, and some
did weep for very sympathy for the
helpless gyrations of the Tigers. For
10! they were not in it, not for a
minute. They didn't know whether
they were in Pigs Eye or on lyle
hart street, and in front of the
mighty Pepper they were as infants
in a gale. They were helpless in the
field, and the movements of the ball
propelled by divers and sundry base
hits made them cross-eyed and they
all went home with a headache. Oh,
never has such relentless slaughter
been seen here before and the bat
ting streak which the Saints took
on to themselves was of the most
murderous kind. And when it was all
over and the Tigers lay sick and sore
and exhausted a still small voice
crept into their ears and whispered,
Murder in the first degree"
And so it was. 1t was the worst
defeat in the season for Strouthers
and his crowd. When the game was
over two pitchers lay figurativeIy
dead on the field. Pears started in
the game, but he was a sight at the
close Of the third inning. He was
kicked into a knotted thing. and was
tired from hard work. They ham,

stepped into the box and swore bv
all the gods to make MONKEYS of
the hard-hitting Apostles.
But the Saints made an ape of Bob
DIE They hammered him worse than
they did Pears, and the latter on the
Dench saw with a smile of delight the
three long home runs which sailed
over the center-fielde fence. The bovs
couldn't help hitting the ball. Everv-
body hit it safely two and three
times, and they all ran bases like In
ulans. Think OF it, viii youI TWENTY
three safe hits, with total of fortv-
Two bases. Keep on your thinking can
and think of five home runs. all of
them over the center-field fence and
consequently home runs in every sense
pf the word. And then there werv, five

eouldnt rest. The Saints were ~..sfte-
washed only one inning out of The
plne and they could have made a few
runs in that one had it been neces-
sary. Camp and Pickett distinguished
themselves each with Two home runs
and Pickett with a double besides.
Pepper, old boy, pitched the game of
his life and kept the visitors. those
Tigers and terrific siuggers from the
Rilds of Michigan, down to five soli-
Iary hits which didn't count much of
anything. He struck out six of the
Tigers and they found him the worst
puzzle they have come across this
ieason anywhere. And Pepper round
I'd out his beautiful game with a home
run and two sharp singles, all of
Which brought in runs. He fielded his
position superbly, and in fact, pitched
the prettiest game of the year on the
home grounds. Scott Stratton hit the
pail with the most ridiculous ease for
two doubles and a single and every
lime he did it runs came in. O'Rourke
played sharp game at third and
batted handsomely, and George in left
and Boyle behind the nat and Irwin
lt short all played like ball players and
Kept the crowd in a continual roar of
