George led the batting for the Saints,
making one double and four singles.
Mullane drove beauty along the
line to left, and should have come
home On 1t, but he figured that there

selves out they would have run up the
number OF hits to thirty or thirty-five.

all took advantage Of it.
Stratton appeared on the field for
play yesterday, but became dizzy in the
not sun and had to retire before the
game began.
Capt. Comislzey admits that Charlie
Irwin is the best man he ever had, but
there are few men Of so much general
beneflt to a base ball team as Billy
George.
The intense heat and the blue sky
had a bad effect on the fielders' eyes,
and. that explains why some of the
files yesterday were muffed. The sky
was q, wavy, shaky blue and after
looking into it a second or so the ewes
became partially blinded: That was
the cause Of Twins muff, as the bali
went into the air unusually high.
