STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

L
came to an inglorious end, for week.
at Lexington park yesterday, when the
Columbus club capped the climax of a
long series of indignities suffered by
the local club recently, shutting the
Apostles out without run before a
disappointed gathering of 1900 people
And to make matters worse, the
pitcher was none other than the err
ratio but sometimes very effective,
Jones, known to the jeering bleachers
as "BumpuS," bat to admiring friends
as Charles"
While Phyle pitched a creditable
game for the locals. holding the visitors
p Gcwn to eight hits, for the most part
scattered, the team behind him could
not bat out the game, leaving chance
after chance unaccepted.
Columbus began scoring, in a small
way, early. Wolverton hit savage
one at Phyle, who DETECTED it to Shu-
CART but in the fielding Wolverton
beat it out. Butler tried to sacrifice
but Phyle-nOt only fumbled the ball
on the pickup, but tossed it badly to
Glasscock. and Butler, too, was safe.
Then Phyle gave Frank four bad ones,
which filled the sacks, and when, after
Tebeau famed, GeninS hit a pop-up,
which GleIalVin could not catch, VOL
VertOn scored, although Umpire Sher-
idan declared Genins out under the in
field fly rule. Glenalvin threw Hulan
out. and one was the best the visitors
accumulated.
Burke flew to Knoll, but Miller sent
Jones a hGt one. Bumpus reached for
it and steered it over to WOlverton
too ate to throw the former pet of
Won Ger Abe out. "Doggie' was caught
trying to steal second, and after Glen
alvin put d good single into left field
Glasscock gave Hulen a fly
Phyle hit Knoll, but Spies caught
him trying to make second. Glasscock
made a nice catch on Buckley's foul
we'll over in the track near the right
bleacher and Jones was struck out.
WolvertOn got Geier's foul, and But
Ter ate UP Shugart's drive. Gillen was
given base, but Spies forced him out
Shugart caught Wolverton's high
one, and Buffers liner over Glenalvin
was killed when Frank forced him out
at second. and Tebeau flew to Burke
After Butler caught Phyle's fly and
Knoll made a fine running catch I'M
der Burke's hard drive Miller put a
three-base drive out of reach of either
Knoll or Butler, but Glenalvin only
gave Genins a high one, and the Apos-
ties could not score
Genins struck out and Glasscock got
Hulen's foul fly Knoll hit safely to
right, but Buckley hit light one just
in front of the plate, and was put out
even while he was protesting that it
was a foul ball.
When Glasscock opened st. Paul's
fourth with a clean drive over short,
it looked as though the Columbians
might be headed. but Geer hit sharp
one to Wolverton, and Jack was
thrown out. Then Shugart hit in the
air fer Butler. and, although Gillen's
single over second helped matters a
little, the Saints had two left on basis
when Frank caught Spies fly
Jones lined one over Glen to open
the fifth but Wolverton's bunt failed,
and Phyle threw out the man in front.
Fr'er's low drive through second
eIt have helped some, but Wolver-
ton forgot himself when Franks SEEM
irgly safe drive to center was gobbleI
up by Geier, who ran in and completed
double play with Shugart while VOL
Verton was standing in a semi-con-
scious state at third base.
After Phyle flew to Frank, Hulen's
high throw took Tebeau off the base as
Burke arrived, but Miller forced Eddie
ont. Genins made a bad throw on a
trial for double, and, while the ball
and the bleachers were being differ
entiated, Miller went to third as be-
fore, but Glenalvin failed to rise to the
occasion, and Hulen threw him out
Only two men got to bases in the
next two innings, Geier. who was bit
by pitched ball. and Shugart, who
profted temporarily by a wild throw
by Hulen.
Wolverton opened the batting order
In the eighth, and when Miller had
captured his long drive Wolverton
had reached third base, and seeming
would have had little trouble scoring,
had he so desired. Then it was Gillen's
turn for bad throw, and Butler was
safe. WolVerton scored. Genins forced
Butler out after the intermediates had
given Geier two splendid chances in
the field.
Hulen threw out the first two in the
st. Paul half. Glasscock had one
