The Saints have met their match.
He is John Taylor, and he pitches for
the Brewers. He pitches very well.
too. Occasionally the opposing bats
men hit him hard, but with team be-
hind him that fields like the Milwau-
.kee aggregation did at Lexington park
yesterday afternoon, it is a very diff
f1cult job to set him aside.
Fricllen was in the box for the Locals
and he got very wild in the sixth inn
ing, but Manager Comiskey had Just
received notice of the suspension of
George Cross, and he did not feel like
using up either Phyle or Denzer in a
game where the locals were not bat
tins Taylor any heavier.
There was some rafting fielding done
on both sides. The contest started
with a glow of enthusiasm and ended
in a desperate battle by losing forces.
Waldron hit to right of center to
start the ball, but was promptly dou-
bled out when Nicol hit a fast ground
er to Shugart Gillen threw out Daily.
Campau struck out, and Geier hit q
hard one to Leewe, beating it out.
Miller, however, gave Daily a high fly,
and Glasscock was thrown out from
third.
Fricken gave Buckingham Weaver a.
base, and a wild pitch advanced him
another. But Stafford went out on
three good strikes, Schoch on a fly to
Geier, and Speer on a grounder to Shu-
CART, so Buckingham was stranded
DAILY fumbled Shugart's ground drive,
and Gillen beat out a stiff drive to
LeeWe, which was thrown low. Pres
ton evidently was sent up to sacrifice,
for he made three efforts to bunt with
out ever touching the ball at all. Then
spies fouled to Speer, and Fricken was
struck out.
1t was the locals chance to get into
the game, but they did not take ad-
vantage of it.
Leewe flew to Preston, but Taylor
drove the ball down center field for
three sacks. Fricken walked Waldron,
and Taylor scored on Nicol's fly to Mil
Ter. DAILY went out on a foul to Spies,
but the visitors had the lead
DAILY threw out Campau, and Leewe
did as much for Geier.
Miller drove a fine one to left field
but Glasscock's grounder was fielded
by Stafford and Taylor successfully.
Weaver opened the fourth with
two-base drive, which struck Campaus
shins and bounded back and outside
the foul lines. Stafford hit to Shugart,
who threw to third to catch Weaver.
but the ball went low, cut through
Gillen, and Weaver went to the plate
while Stafford reached second. Schoch
hit to Glasscock and went out, but adj
vanced Stafford one sack, whence he
scored on Geier's ineXcusable muff of
Speer'S easy pop-up. Leewe forced the
little catcher out, but Taylor was Civ
en- a base before Waldron went out
at first.
Shugart started the fireworks for st.
Psul with hard drive The ball
struck nearly foul, but a puff of chalk
vOuched for its fairness as it scurried
tho
sheep fence to the promenade Shnea~+
mad time to pick blackberries on the
way around, and it looked as though
the Brewers might yet be towed ashore
especially when Gillen followed the
drive up with stiff single to left
neld. 1t was Preston's opportunity
again, but he only batted up a quiet
foul to Speers. Spies, however, hit
safely back of second, and Gillen went
TO third. Spies tried to steal on Frick-
ems third strike and give Gillen a
chance to score, but Sammy stuck to
third like a puppys teeth to a pair of
new boots. Heine was doubled out by
Speer's throw.
Fricken settled down. Gillen threw
out Nicol, and Daily famed. Weaver
hit high one. and Gillen ran to the
other side of the pitchers box and got
the ball as it came down.
Campau opened st. Pauls half with A.
u.
Geler put one at Leewe so fast that
the little fellow was knocked down bv
its conclusion. He tried to throw Cam
pau out at second, but could not. Mil
Ter sacrificed, and Campau scored on
Classccck's fly to Weaver, but Geier
was left when Leewe caught Shugart's
fly.
-'ricken gave Stafford and Schoch
bases. Speer sacrificed. Fricken walk
ed Leewe, filing the sacks. Taylor hit
a grounder to right and scored a. pair.
Ieewe went to third and scored on
Waldron's good single closely follow

short one effectively, and Taylor scor-
ed Waldron came in on Days fly to
Campau, and that made five when
Geier caught Weaver's high one.
Gillen was struck out, obviously, too.
Preston flew to DAILY, and Leewe threw
out Spies.
Fricken gave Stafford a base again.
and schoch hit a good single to mid
dlefield. Speer hit a rapid one to
. Fricken. who held Stafford at third.
! Hon. threw to Geier, who made a fine
left-handed catch, cutting off Schoch,
glanced at third to see that Stafford
was behaving himself, and then shot
the ball to first, completing a double
play. But Leewe hit a grounder over
short, and Stafford scored in spite of
all. Taylor ended the inning, forcing
Leewe out.
Fricken had gone out on a, grounder
to first and Campau on a foul to Speer
when Taylor gave his first base on
balls to Geier, and Miller's drive to
right field gave Geier third, but Glass
cock flew to DAILY.
Waldron's pop-up to Geier was fol-
lowed by a lucky hit by Nicol, which
