The Saints took the last game of the
series from Connie Macks nissan
thropes.
The game was somewhat prosy, to
tell the truth although occasionally
dash of life was infused by the advent
of a new pitcher or the renaissance OF.
a sleeping hitter.
The Saints started from the scratch
like a short horse at a muddy matinee,
Tim ORourke rejecting with scorn
Clarksons proffered base on balls by
batting the still unsoiled leather di-
rectly through the park. 1t dumb
founded Stafford; frightened Wright,
who dared not get near it; exhausted
Nicol, and finally, after a longer roll
up the elevated curve of the cycle path,
found a resting place in the shady side
of the cinder road Tim scored in an
easy canter and Mr.. Clarkson evinced
a meditative spirit, which suggested
that the ministry, rather than the dia-
mond, should have been the field of
his chosen calling. He determined that
Parrot would not repeat the dose, so he
soaked the tall outfelder in the ribs
with the ball. Then the locals did the
grand Balaklava act. Some one blum
deled. Nyce planted the ball in right
field. Wright harvested it in the early
fall. PARROT either mistook the errand
on which he was sent, or else some one
on the coach lines tipped him wrong,
for he ran so far before the ball was
caught that he isn't back to the base
yet. Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Stafford are
credited thereby with a double play.
George drove out twe-bagger and
Glasscock swung into the game with a
sharp single down the left foul line,
while Shugart put a fly where neither
Nicol, Weaver or Delehanty could get
1t and by that time the locals had
three runs.
Delehanty hit light one and beat it
to first. Tony Mullane gave Wright
and Nicel bases, but in the, meantime
Delehanty was caught trying to steal
third. Weaver gave George a fly, but
Daily hit far into left field for three
bases, and scored on Stafford's single,
making a tie.
Clarkson was again plunged into a
sea of troubles that would have wor-
ried Hamlet himself. Spies batted the
ball half way to the fence, and then
Mullane waited until four fast freights
had passed his station without even
being tagged. O'Rourke took pity on
the toy pitcher, sending a cute fly to
Weaver, while Spies ran off second base
and gave another opportunity for a
double play. Mr.. Clarksons smile
frightened until it shone more loudly
than "a cr1i int Of Ia in
alton that drenched his moustache, but
1t was not for long, for Parrot took a
hammer and some nails and drove the
ball down again real tight. Nyce gave
it another rap just for luck, and so
scared NicOl that he chased the sphere
over some choice Aurora avenue lots
before he ascertained it's exact where
Rbouts. Parrot by this time was on
the players bench and the score was
5 to 3. Clarky gave George base, but
Lally took pity on the young pitcher
Nyce and George put up a job to work
a double steal, and George went down
to second like a snail. The ball went
down too, Nyce came home. DAILY ex-
citedly muffed the ball, but finally
Delehanty got George out. By this
time Nyce had crossed the rubber Lal-
ly, however, insisted that the run did
not count and rather than call out the
militia Comiskey stood for it, although
1t did look as though there were six
runs.
Clarkson retrieved himself somewhat
by opening the second with a clean
two-bagger to left. Delehanty bunt-
ed. Mullane threw to first, but the ball
struck either Delehanty Or Meyers who
was reaching pretty close to the base,
and Delehanty was safe. Shugart ate
UP a couple, but two runs came in be-
times. which tied the score again, to
Lallys way Of thinking.
When the third came, Glasscock. who
had been at bat when the side went
put before, came up expecting to drive
the ball mile. but Lally quietly in
formed him that he was out, and it
developed that his unique method of
accounting for his failure to admit
Nyee's run was to have Glasscock de-
elared out for interfering with a
thrown ball, although the ball went to
Becond base as straight as a die.
No one on either side reached first
base in the third, and the 200 people in
the stands actually began to grow in
terested again.
In the fourth Mullane, PARROT and
Nyce all showed Clarkson how easy 1t
was to hit the bah if one knew how,
and two runs resulted. Mullane gave
Delehanty base. but he was forced
out at second.
Then Barnes went into the box
