Milwaukee yesterday suffered it's
second successive shut-out at Aurora
park.
The locals seem to have taken
brace. They batted Jones, the West
ern south-paw. freely. and while they
were only entitled to a few of the
enormous number of runs they made,
Yet they earned enough to win the
game.
Donzer played horse with the
Brewers, and in inverse ratio to their
ability To hit was their ability to do
the wrong thing in the field. The first
three Saints up went to first base on
errors, when the side should have been
out. After that the locals piled up
three runs, and with that bad start,
jones, perhaps. had some excuse for
not pitching his arm out of Joint
But the locals played good ball. re-
Sardless Of the weak character of the
opposition.
Billy George got into the game in the
sixth inning with catch the like of
which has not been seen on the
grounds this season, and Twitchen did
some pretty nice work while he was
in the center garden. Nicol sent the
ball away over toward the fence in
left field and George went after it on
a dead run, watching the ball over his
shoulder. He gagged it exactly and
took it in while still running.
Twitchel also made a pair of nice
plays in center field, one just back of
the diamond, while HoHingsworth. who
played third, beat Spies out of a sky
scraper.
o'Rourke was out of the game with
lame arm, and Kraus went to right
field, with Hollingsworth on third.
Pickett started in at second. In the
second inning Kraus slid into the plate
and sprained his ankle, and was I'M
able to play any further Mullane took
his place in the field. Then in the
fourth inning Pickett was struck out,
and questioned the justice of the UNI
pres decision. Caruthers ordered him
out of the game, and after canvassing
the situation thoroughly, Comiskey
went IN and played first himself Glass
cock going to second.
And did any one say the Comanche's
playing days were over?
Not yet. He played an errorless first
base, and got into two double plays
where any one else than the veteran
might have failed to connect for there
was neither time nor distance to lose.
With the bat he poked foul after foul
over the grand stand, hit one to Hart
man that made the star first baseman
play quick, and finally on his second
trial, drove one over the short stop
just out of reach and dropped if in
center field so hard that Nicol let it
go by in his amaZement. Then Commy
went to second, and for about ten min
utes was busy trying to steal. but
every time he would try it some one
would hit the ball foul and then the
old man would have to go back. At
last. however, Spies hit safely and
Commy came in.
The features of the first inning were
the errors of MeHale and GIenalvin
and Pickett's three base drive which
nestled IN the sand at the club house
door, where Tim O'Rourke was Civ
ing his lame shoulder a sun bath.
The feature of the second was a.
combination of more errors in which
Weaver, Spear and Hartman partici-
pated.
The feature Of the third was that no
Saint reached first base, the Brewery
inf1eld playing an efrorless game.
In the fourth, however, Jones was
batted freely, and three hits and a
base on balls, with an error by NcHale.

HngswOrth's two base hit.

home on it. making a nice double play.

the fifth. and Jones one in the sixth
