John Katou, recently of Chicago, NOW
registering, by leave of Comiskey, from
St. Paul. MIMI. pitched his 1lrst western
league game at Lexington park Eestea-
day. and he pitched an excellent game at
that. even if his brow was not scratchto
with the sharp corners OF any iaurel
wreath last night, First and foremost Oh
Katolrs virtues seems to be his stamina.
He is evidently not a gutter. The cow
bovs punched six runs on him in the
third inning and after that they did not
get q hit off him except two bunts, one
of which was the merest scratch, due to
the batsman being struck by his own pat
ted ball and thus declared out by the UNI
pire which. under the rules, constitutes
base hit for the batsInan.
Speed is not the new mans only reli-
ance He has a slow ball which has an
apparent difference from any of his
Others until after the batsman has Tanned
at it, although Charley Reilly was sent
TO the bench yesterday afternoon for Yell
ing to one of the kaws when the slow
one was coming because he had detected
some of the signals that were passing,
Marconi-like, between the new twlrler
and Heine Spies.
The newcomer was supported like the
wife of a ward heeler, but did not get
dowdyiSh. Rarely has prettier ball been
seen here than his last six innings.
The locals outbatted the visitors, but
that fatal third did the business. Two
errors by Hoffmeister and a two-bagger
by Rothfuss had given the Blues two
runs III the first inning after two were
out on a pretty double play by Katoll and
Isbcil on GettnIans liner, so the locals
were handicapped little when the third
started.
ONE FATAL INNING.

having gone around. Katoll seemed to
be cutting the plate as straight as die,
but Umpire Haskell called four balls. and

toll fumbled. Camel hunted, and Hoff-
meister came in en- the ball Katoll, get

late. The bases We're full with none out

out the day before, pounded the ball into

inning. Katoll walked Raymer. Reilly
