They made as many safe hits as the
locals, and they made more errors, so
their industry cannot be gainsaid. But
all the rewards their toll reaped could
have been gathered in the shady corner

have been room for any head save,
perchance, some Fourth ward politi-
clans
With a bright, sunny day, Fricken

single to center and scored two runs.

sure for Frank at the plate he strayed
far from the canvases himself and

Geler put safe grounder through

and Campau hit a gingery one to
Genins. This individual seemed to be
largely ornamental, and while he was
fumbling the ball Gillen scored, al
though Fricken was caught trying to
steal home a little later.
That tied it for a minute, but Hulen
hit safely and went to second when
Miller dropped the ball. Shugart made
another low throw, giving Genins a
life and the latter tried for double

hissl sign, however, and Genins was
thrown out easily. Fricken walked
Frank a second time, and, with two
out, Lally again met the ball for q
clean drive, and two more runs result

St Pauls half was scrappy. Geier
hit to Hulen, who threw high to Te-
beau. Mannassau said Geier was safe
because Capt George had pulled his
feet eff the pillow. In the argument,
which occupied several minutes, Hulen
made some invidious comparisons and
was ordered out of the game. Catcher
Sullivan went to short, and Dick Buck
ley took his old place behind the bat.
Then SUlly doubled them out on Mil

cock was hit by a pitched bali, stole
second, went to third on Genins' muff
and stole home on the double PROPOSE
tion, after Preston had secured a base
on balls. There was a close decision
at the plate, and Tebeau made a lot
more fuss, but the umpire did not
change his mind.
Tebeau opened the fourth with a fine
triple to left field. Knoll hit a fly to
center. Preston got in on a hard run
and threw to the plate so fast that Te-
beau was held, but he came in a little
later on Sullivan's grounder to Shu-
CART. Shugart added to the heart dis
ease by tumble on Jones' swift bail
but recovered himself by a speedy
throw.
Jones gave two bases after two were
out, but Miller was thrown out by Sui
Ivan.
The visitors did not reach first base
