Jimmy Manning's Blues were blue, in
deed, last night, for four straight games
had they lost to the redoubtable Apos-
ties on the grounds here, not to speak
of the unpleasant recolTections of the
initial visit there which are as fresh
wounds in their once self-satisfied
pride.
Jack Barnett did not have the good
fortune yesterday that he did in the
opening game Wednesday, and he had
to stand and watch the Comiskey party
straighten out his curves as though
there had never been kink in them at
all. The only thing that could save
Johnny yesterday was rain, and it
would have taken great deal Of that
There was some, but at the time that
it came the locals were only one run
ahead and they had not worked out the
combination of Mr.. Barnett'S puzzle
pictures then.
After twenty minutes devoted to in
&ormal social intercourse. the rain
ceased and play was resumed. The sun
came out and all the world was bright
and gladstone, save Barnett'S corner
of it. There hung a shroud of gloom
in whose cavernous black folds could
be seen from~time to time the fleeing
glimpse of a dissolving glory of by
gene days, as, another pitching phe-
nomenon was exploded. In three inn
ings the Saints hit safely nine times,
and at that no one was out in the
sixth when Carney had whispered
conference with the faltering twirler.
and made few mystic passes with one
of his wings, which, as it developed,
were a signal for Toreador Bannen,
Jay, whose red sweater had been
dainty bit of color in the distant back
ground of the center garden, to come
in and pitch. Jack Menefee sought the
outfeld, and TRULY was put in his old
place at second again.
Jimmy Bannon may have known
something about pitching when he went
in. but he is even more scholarly now.
He started at Glasscock with a drop
that amazed the veteran, who rubbed
his eyes to see if he was dreaming.
Then "Chimmy,' in burst of en-
boldened confidence, put the ball right
over again. Glasscock hit for four
bases on that one, and Bannon muir
INJURED not word He discovered that
one swallow does not make a summer,
nor one strike whitewash a team.
After that he pitched with less aban-
don, and more results
The game started with Barnett on
Easy street, Preston and Mcbride go
ing out on easy grounders to Menefee,
but Nyce won some applause by a
vicious line hit through an open space
between Connaughton and Reilly. Par
rCtt, however, sent a fly to Tom Ban
non and ended the inning without a
score.
McGill went into the box for ST. Paul
and very shortly his troubles began.
Jim Bannon hit a fly and Nyce muffed
1t. The saffron tint that pervaded the
atmosphere around second base was
pierced in another minute by ground
er from Connaughtons stick, which
Nyce fumbled, and from the hoarse
threats Of the bowling thousands went
up cries of "Hollingsworth! Rotten
and the like. Damon, who had reach
ed second on the muff, scored on the
tumble, and when Billy George let
McViclier'S hit lay around in the dirt
a while Connaughton likewise tailed.
McGill then took the game in his own
hands and struck out both Carney and
Menefee.
George opened the second with a
hard grounder near the line of Nyce's
opening hit, and Glasscock followed
with half length fly that dropped
in front Of Tom Damon and was per
mitted to. pursue it's course unmolested
until Jack had completed the circuit
of the bases. 1t was a safe single. but
