POUNDED TO DEATH

1T WAS AN EXCITING GAME, ES-

SEVERAL VERY COSTLY ERRORS

Now it came to pass that after
the severe defeat they administered
to the Wolverines, the Saints discov-
cred on their horizon the dirty suits
of the Swamp Pirates, and forthwith
there was laughter in the camp of
the Apostles, and they jeered at the
newcomers. Then did the Pirates
wrath kindle, and they fell upon
the Apostles and made monkeys Of
them-yea, and they made it strong.
And the two warriors whom the
Apostles depended upon were
thumped to a standstill, and the
leather sphere was hurried - nay,
rushed-over the fence and every
where until the Apostles grew foot
sore and weary, and longed for some
shady nook, a dime novel and a
corn-cob pipe. But 10! their master
was severe, and there they stayed
and fought and fought, and as old
Sol took his last squint over the
, horizon, they were still fighting
away for a lost cause. And when
friendly night closed in upon the
exhaustion occasioned by the awful
punching they received from the
Hottentots, the Swamp Pirates, or
Jack Carney's Wanderers, call them
what you will.
After the terrible drubbing the
Saints gave the Wolverines no one
ever dreamed that the Junior Hoos-
icrs would swoop down here and
make a spectacle of them. But they
did it, and they did it good and
plenty. They hammered Johnston
out of the box and hit Jones SO hard
that they would have had to con-
front Pepper had there been any
their half of the ninth. But the
game was over before that was
reached. The game was one of ter
rife hitting and miserable fielding
throughout. Now, if the defeat OF
the home team can be ascribed to
any one man, the credit
GOES TO TIM O'ROURKE,
whose three errors at third gave the
visitors life that resulted in a pill
ing up Of runs where nothing but
outs should have occurred. At times
O'Rourke plays ball. but he must
admit that yesterday he gave an
exhibition Of miserable work that an
amateur should have been ashamed
of. The game was exciting for the
reason that the teams were tied
three or four times, and the VIC
tory was anybody'S until the very
last man was out. That ninth in
ming Will not be forgotten in a hurry
by the people who were there and
shared in the excitement. The score
stood, St Paul, II, and Terre Haute,
Il, when the Saints came to bat in
that inning.
We had about given up all hope
and the small boy had begun to
swarm over the field in anticipation
of the end when Camp swung his
willow with a mighty effort and
sent the ball crashing over the center
field fence for a home run. The
crowd was wild and the people threw
their hats into the air. But how did

George swung his bat in the same
fashion and landed the leather in
exactly the same place for a second
home run. The scene that followed
is nearly indescribable. The people
were simply daft, and hats filled
the air in clouds while a, prolonged
cheer awoke the echoes in every
direction and brought the house
wives to their back doors on lyle
hart street. The excitement was at
fever heat, and the people were
ready then to bet that the game
was ours. But it wasn't. The ex-
