St. Louis. % So .3o3
The contest yesterday at National Park
between the Colts and Senator's was a
rank exhibition Of bah playing. No fault
can be found with the pitching Of Mercer,
and had he received anything like decent
support he would have won his game.
The work Of the home team was practi-
cally a melange Of errors, every man on
the club, with the exception of SeIbach,
Reitz and Mcclure, making a misplay.
The work Of Myers at third was ex-
ceedingly poor. Bert does not exhibit the
slightest inclination 10 60 out of his way
in order TO get a ball. If the sphere hap
pens TO come his way. well and good he'll
stop il, but should any exertion be neces-
sary, then he seems TO prefer TO let the
ball go 10 some other fielder. It's about
time for Myers to get into the game and
eliminate the Indifference he has shown
during the past few weeks
The features Of the game were a great
running catch by Gettman of Connor's
low line drive to right field in the fourth
Selbach's capture Of Dahlen's long fly to
the left field fence in the second and the
way in which Ryan killed off Anderson's
seeming three-bagger in the sixth.
Kilroy pitched good game of ball
and was backed up in great style. The
game was in sharp contrast to the work
Of the home team last week, and il is to
be hoped that the last of the "off-day''
playing has occurred.
