Men cries of the mighty Casey, inn
mortalized in song and story. stirred
the hearts of $500 fans at Lexington
park yesterday afternoon in the ninth
inning of the Detroft-St. Paul game,
which, by the way, the former won.
The visitors had led off like unbroken
colts in practice dash, but later in
the game the locals came chasing along
like small boy after a circus parade.
and Manager Comiskey had to tie Mil
Ter at third to keep from winning the
game in a walk
But they did not win 1t. 1t was this
way. The locals needed three to tie
when the ninth brought it's last half
along. Eddie Burke was up. Eddie
tore the cover off the ball, but Sammy
Nichol caught the cover and the inside
too. Miller hit the thing an awful rap,
and it went away over toward Como.
billiard ran like deer and got IT in his
hands. but the groan that the bleachers
started broke into a laugh when the
tall Southerner muffed it Miller went
on to second base, billiard threw to
Sharpe, who swung, and when Sheri-
dan by significant gesture indicated
even above the roar of the madding
7hrong that Miller was safe, Peck
yelled. "Oh. Jack, 1 had him a mile
They had not been able to hit Hahn
up to this time. but Glenalvin met the
leather for a clean liner over the Sec
ond bag. and when Nichol got it to ex-
anime the seams Miller could have
been in the club dressing room, but
Comiskey had him held at third, just
to annoy the pitcher. you know. Well
1t worked. Glasscock had the moon
faced boy from Mobile hooked on like
a sucker. but DUNCAN got under a sure
two-base drive and knocked it down
with his left hand. The ball dropped
out of his glove once, but he went after
1t again, and that time he got it. 1t
did look blue for the locals then, but 1t
did not help Hahn's rattles any, and
he gave Geier four bad balls.
Shugart had a chance to save the
game with a home run. or even
three-bas hit. or even a two-bagger
In pinch, but it was of no use. Hahn
had no nerve at all. The first one went
on the outside, and was duly called a
ball. But Shugart, batting a south
paw right-handed, was at as great, or
even greater, disadvantage than was
the Detroit pitcher, and he swung at
a, ball that nearly tore the buckle off
his belt. Still another bad one came
and was called, then foul which clip
ped the net off the grand stand and
then Hahn settled down and put two
over where "Shug" could bat at them
hut not on them.
The crowd thought of Casey, and It
thought aloud. z
1t was Shugart's' second conspicuous
failure of the day. In the first inning
he had a chance to throw the ball
where no one could get it, and he did;
IN the second place he had a chance to
pat 1t where no one could get it, but
he did not.
In the first inning 1t was his bad
throw over Glasscock's head that let
in four of the five runs.
Pequinney had opened the contest
with sharp two-bag ger to ep centsr,
and billiard sent Swimming erounder
to the snortstop. Shugart made a fine
stop, but threw the ball to the right
held bleacher and Pequinrey scored,
while billiard went to second. DUNCAN
hit slow grounder. Fricken let Gillen
get it and the decision was close at
first, but Sheridan declared DUNCAN
out. Turner, too, hit a light one to
Fricken, and went out. so the side might
have been retired without even Pequin-
ney scoring. But instead there were
only two out. Then, after getting two
strikes, Frickeu hit Nicnol in the back
with the ball, and walked him to first
Hines smashed a low drive to left field.
Burke made a good run up on it. but
had to reach close to the grass for it,
and did not get it. Nichol, who had
stolen second. was close enough to score
with less than the three-base drive that
Sharpe put through Miller's territory.
Twineham lined a pretty single through
short and sent Sharpe in with the fifth
and last run of the inning. Mullane
