A ROYAL GAME
Continued From First Pare.

ly. and was only able to retire Weaver
Stafford hit the ball resounding
smash and it went ricocheting over the
sod infield in the exact direction OF
second base. Nyce started for the d.
rection of the ball, and finally reached
1t just as it passed the base. He got
it in his grasp, and stood on the base
! almost before the spectators knew he
had 1t, paused moment as If himself
| surprised. turned, and threw 1t to first
base in time to retire the side. Then
he keeled over on the grass in faint,
for the ball had struck him in vul-
nerable portion Of his anatomy, and
| it was question whether he would
| continue or not. He finally managed
i to get to the bench, however.
l., Weaver gathered in two flies which
| were sent IN the direction of Como
park. and by that time Nyce had 50
| recovered as to be able to come to
bat. He raped out high liner over
Days head. and, while that worthy
went into the air and stopped the ball.
| he could not hold it. and Nyce was de-
| clared safe at first, only to be struck
| by the hot drive which George batted
| few moments later. That put the
| side out again, and Milwaukee only
| needed one to tie. Myers single to left
| field was an suspicious opening, but
after being sacrificed to second base
Nyce. Barnes raking the left lawn
with a bounding grounder. Delehanty
put one in GlaSscocks way.
In the fourth inning the Saints for
the first time failed to get man to
first base. and 1t looked ominous for
them when Mullane presented Wright
with base. 1t looked still more seri-
GUS when Nicol hit hard one to Shu-
CART. who got it too late to throw
it to first and Nyce was unable to
cover second in time. That made two
On bases, and, as yet, none out. Weaver
sacrificed prettily, and when DAILY bat
ted a hard single into left between
Nlchol and Parrot, both runners came
In and the locals had lost their lead.
DAILY got to second on the play, but
Nichol gathered in two outfield flies
before further damage was done
The locals were anxious to tie but
Spies went out at first. DAILY making
a grand stand stop at second. Barnes,
however, let Mullane walk thirty yards
east. Tony stole second Then he tried
to steal third, and another bad throw
by Speer let him get home. That made
the score a tie and so it remained dur
Ing many breathless minutes. This inn
ing wound up in a blaze of glory with
a sensational running backward catch
by DAILY under PARROTS fly, which
might have belonged to either Nichol
or Wright.
Milwaukee could not get the lead
again, failing. indeed, to reach first
base this inning. and the prospects
were that the contest might be in
definitely prolonged.
Both sides were playing pretty steady
ball. DAILY. prevented Nyce's fly from
doing any damage, and very nearly
kept Georges rafting drive from being
classified as a safe hit. But George
was entitled to it. Then Glasscock hit
hard one straight down the diamond
In an instant Barnes had drawn
pretty picture, in his minds eye, of a.
grand stand double play with himself
as the initiator of the festivities. In g.
minute more he had another mental
picture Of young man in hospital
having his hand sawed. off. Both these
pictures were fortunately exaggerated,
but unhappily for Mr.. Barnes, he was
unable to get even a single Saint out
in spite Of his heroic effort to inter-
cept the progress of the ball. Time
was called while the Brewers rubbed
the Barnes wing into semblance of
life and vigor again, but the fingers
seemed to be pretty numb, and Shu-
CART had no trouble picking out nice
one. Under the infield fly rule, how
ever, it was lost, and with two out and
two on bases, the Apostles were in a
position to realize to the fullest the
pathetic measure Of $50 near and yet
so far" But Barnes gave Nichol a
base In his wildness. Spies wanted to
hit the ball, for it was the chance of
lifetime. perhaps, but the best he
could do was to send a long fly to
center, and if any home fan was san
guine that little Nicol was going to
drop that then he was doomed to
disappointment. It was still a tie. A

ers fail to reach the very desirable first
base. Nyce went out of the game here,
HollingsWorth taking his place. The
little fellow got a cheer as he made
his appearance.
In the seventh with two out,
ORourke got base on balls, and Holly
had a chance to drive him around,
but a weak foul fly back of the play
ers' bench gave Speer a coveted OPP
portunity and Mr.. Hollingsworth' bat
+ ting average was reduced.
DAILY made one lunge at the ball and
had sure hit in left of center field.
Stafford popped one up, and O'Rourke
thought 1t was going to fall foul, but
1T did not. Myers hit a short one, and
DAILY was caught between third and the
plate, but the visitors had men on Sec
ond and third, with only one out, and
Speer's fly to Nichol was enough to
give Milwaukee a run and the lead
again. Speer tried to get in on it, too,
but he was too far away, and wa,
caught.
1t was do or die with the locals then,
but George opened hopefully with a
| safe one that puzzled Delehanty some
what, and while the little shortstop
was recovering his composure and the
| ball, George glided swiftly to second.
| Glasscock sacrificed for it was one run
| that was needed just then. Shugart
was next on the list, and in a moment
he had met the ball squarely and fairly
and it was sailing toward the gas reser-
| voir at a lively pace. 1t struck the field
| away back of either Wright OF Nicol
and by the time they had overtaken the
| sphere as it rolled along the hard
| ground, Shugart had completely encir-
| cled the bases and diamond, and the
| throng of spectators were rivaling bed
! lam in their frantic efforts to convince
| the young man of the popular appre-
| citation. That was enough for that
| inning, and the remainder of the team
were content to rest on the Shugartiar
| laurels.
| 1t was little better for the locals
| then, but the visitors still had two
| innings and eve uns" only one. Barnes
| was easy meat for Mullane, however
and while the prediction for batting
the balls, that seems to pervade the
Delehanty family, now developed local.
ly, permanent injury to the feelings
| of local enthusiasts was prevented by
l>Delehanty STEPPING off the initial bag
to go into a trance. Spies discovered
| the somnolent condition Of the Phila-
| delphia kings small brother and threw
to Glasscock. The sound Of the bal

the little fellow started for second. His
