costly errors and timely hit by Heine
Spies, won yesterdays game from Column

the face.
Two games had been scheduled to he
played. and, had this arrangement not
miscarried, the present home series would
have been at an end, but the elements in
teriered during the first game and delav-
ed 1t nearly half an hour, and this. to-
gether with the fact that three extra inn
tngs We're necessary, made a second game
impossible. But the fans were well sat-
2shed with but one game, for, while it
was replete with errors from the opening
inning until the last, it was sensational
IN the extreme and the finish was of the
hair-raising variety
CRAWFORD'S FALSE MOVE.
"Bumpus" Jones was in the box for the
visitors. In times past he has faced the
Saints and in times past he has found
that they were too much for him and
has given way to some one else. Not so
yesterday, for he was apparently in fine
form, and during the twelve innings the
Locals connected with his shoots safely
put nine times. 1t is barely possible that
Bumpus might have been pitching vet

the hardest kind of luck in having
double play handed to them with three
men on bases and no one out Bumpus

In the center of the diamond and in his
ecstasy mOtiOned to Crawford. who was
playing way out in left field to come in
little nearer. Crawford moved in prob
ably twenty feet. Hene Spies was at
bat and the fans We're bowling like mad,
for a safe hit was necessary. Heine met
the first ball over squarely on the fiat
side and it sailed out into Crawford's ter
Titory and landed but q few feet from
where Crawford had been standing.
KATOLL STEADIED DOWN.
The word eff" plays a very prominent
part in almost everything and especially
in base ball games. If Jones had not
called Crawford in it is a 100 to 1 shot
that he would have caught Heine's fly
and retired the side, but he did not get

almost before the ball touched the
ground.
1t must be said of Jones that he pitched
q good game of ball in spite of his wild
ness, and but for errors behind him would
Undoubtedly have won, for errors were
responsible for each and every one of St.
Paul's runs. Crawford was not so much

Big Jack Katoll started in to pitch for

HOW THE GAME OPENED.
Pickering opened the game for the Dis
coVerers with a hard line hit to Isbell
who retired him unassisted. Genins de-
cided that Isbell's territory was not a
safe place to hit and put one through
Katou. Preston let it go by him and
when the ball came in sight again Genins
was on third Crawford followed with a
like hit and Genins scored. Frank drew
four wide ones and Tebeau bounded a
high one over Katoll. 1t was good for a
hit, but Preston repeated his error, let
ting it go through him, and Crawford
and Frank scored. Bierbauer drew a hit,
and in an attempted double steal Tebeau
was thrown out at the plate. Eustace
retired the side with short fly to Ball.
For the locals Preston went out from
Bierbauer to Tebeau. Burke and Lally
drew free passes, but Burke was caught
off third and Glenalvin forced Lally out
at second.

The score was tied, but In the tentn

NOT connect with Jones. The story of the
