NANNAAN0~
After ten innings of particularly
snappy ball, the Saints lost a game to
the Tigers yesterday with two out in
the eleventh.
1t was a pitchers battle throughout.
Denzer, the pet of the local bleachers,
against Hahn, the youthful phenom-
enon who has endeared himself to the
Detroit fans, and, perhaps, warmed
place for himself in big league company
next year Certainly the game of yes
terday will have no depressing effect
on the rumors of his drafting which
have been in circulation during the
last few weeks.
Umpire Haskell did not give the To-
Gals any the best of it yesterday.
All the players on both teams agreed
that he was very bad on balls and
strikes, while he gave one decision on
a close play at first base which chang
ed the result of the game, and which
appeared to the righteous judges in the
rlght-feld bleacher, who were In good
position to see it, as a very unfair de-
cision.
With this handicap, it was no dis
grace for Denzer to be beaten; while
Hahn'S laurels are little furnished by
the trouble when it is remembered that
in eleven full innings the heaviest-hit-
ting team in the league, barring, per-
haps, the pennant-Winning Hoosiers,
got but six hits off him and one of
these very scratch.

error by low throw to billiard. Hol-
