ly six times for a total of nine bases,
and gave two bases on balls besides
hitting a batter. After these few in
cidents he settled down somewhat and
gave the Missourians some puzzles to
struggle with, but those two innings, as
it turned out, were the handicap that
won the game.
Fricken was superseded in the ninth
by Phyle, and Friend, after his DEM
onstration of the "rattles," made a
place for Gear, but neither of these
individuals played more than second
lead in the travesty on base ball.
st. PauPs half Of the ninth inning
was imbued with action. Somebody was
doing something allthe time, and usual
ly it was Friend giving an Apostle
pass to first base. The locals were
six behind at the end of Kansas Citys
half, the Kaws having very luckily

lead of four
Geier was first to bat, and to first he
walked. Glenalvin put a stiff single
over short. Frisbee let the ball get
through him, and Geier went to third
walking home on Isbell's sharp drive
to O'Hagan, who dropped the ball, but
afterwards got it up in time to throw
Frank out at first. Shugart drove a
hard one toward center field, and it
looked as though it was a homer at
least, but Campau ran, ran, ran and
then caught it we'll over in Slagle's
territory, and Slagle is not very slow
himself. In spite of this splendid field
ing support, there was rattle in
Friends throat, and he gave two bases.
Spies hit one straight at VioX, and it
looked as though the game was over
but the ball bounded right over the
shortstop's head. Before he could get
his hands up the sphere was we'll out

FRIEND suddenly turned and threw TO
hrst to catch Spies mapping. 1t was
a very quick throw, but it had a good
deal of muscle behind it. The bail
went up the grassy terrace, and Spies
completed the circuit before the ball
got back into play Friend gave Phyle
pase, and then Manning took him
out.
Gear was sent in. Two bad ones
came from his arm before he began
10 get them over. Burke fouled num-
per, occasionally striking at one of the
fast twisters in vain At last he hit a
pretty warm one near second base.
Viox corralled it and threw him out at

nome team for the day
The first two innings were hard lucl,
periods for the locals and the faithful
party of fans, small but enthusiastic,

and the heat to witness the opening
game Of the last home series.

corner
Viox and Friend went out on infeld

at Fricl1en too hot to stop. Campau
and Williams again came up smiling
and batted out good singles, and then
Wilson hit for two sacks. These netted
three more runs before Glen caught
O'Hagan's pop-up.
G1llen struck out, but Spies scratch
