spell, although it did score Preston.
The next pair could not get the ball
out of the infield, and the score stood
four to one feminist"
Mullane appeared in the box again,
amid dubious shakes of the heads in
the stands. But Daub could not hit the
ball fifty feet. Eustace only got a base
by risking his forearm on a pitched
ball. Griffin walked by virtue of four
wild ones. Roat wanted a homer, but
drew pop-up to Gillen. No one had
scored when Gillen threw out Griffin on
Lyons grounder.
After Shugart was out on foul,
Roats tumble gave Gillen and the
stands some comfort. Spies fly to Bur-
nett was discouraging again, but Crit
fins muff of an easy fly agitated some
lookerS-on to the verge Of heart failure.
All TINS excitement was fruitless, how
ever, for Preston three times waved his
pat IN the air without making any
noise, but sickening swish.
Mullane shot hot one into Burnett's
funny bone, not the humorous but the
other one. His tan colored face turned
pale. but be managed to get to first

too. oh, the old thing. I suppose. Met
a few friends last night.
These and a few knowing winks were
the grand stand accompaniment of the
opening speciality in st. Pauls third
inning. Eddie Burke, who batted the
ball that evoked the comment, was
thrown out, however, trying to steal
second. and with the irony of base ball
fate, Daub then insisted on giving Dog
gle Miller a base on balls. Glenalvin
tried the centerf1eIder, but Griffin
caught this one, and held it, too. But
he dropped the next one, impelled by
Glasscock's club, and when Daub, rat
tied by this discovery Of weakness in
his field support, presented Shugart and
Gillen with bases, one run was forced
in. Spies flew out to Fisher. who held
the ball high in air to humiliate the
erratic center rush.
Then the young fellow came in and
aggravated his unhappy fortunes by
striking out. Roat gave Glasscock a
fly. Mullane tried to pierce Lyons well
protected frame with a quick curve,
but the first baSeman only walked to
his base before Burnett was thrown
out by Shugart. The throw was pretty
high and it took a good stop by Glass
cock, but Jack was there with it.
Mullane and Preston weakly tried to
get the ball through the sand border
On the square plot. but in vain. Burke
gained a base on four balls, but lost
thirty yards on McCauleys fast throw
to Roat. Three inf1eld grounders re-
tired the Nebraskans in order in the
fifth.
Miller hit Roat an easy one. Fred
fielded it fast, and Lyons dropped the
ball. He made a bluff and picked 1t
up, but Umpire Haskell declared that
it was everlastingly too late, for the
mill can never, never grind with the
water that has passed. GIenalvin hit
a short one along the line toward third
base. Eustace and Daub surrounded
it. but could not throw it out Glass
cock sacrificed. Shugart waited for
four and the sacks were full Gillen

out at the plate, but Lyons dropped
