There are names that shine Respondent
IN the history of base ball, there are fig
ures that stand as the high-water mark
of the professional ball tosser's ambition
As long as Mike" Kelly's memory re-
mains enshrined the king of the dia-
mond, so long will it be remembered that
$4,000 was once paid for the tricky talents
d of the Celtic champion.
There are no $4,000 beauties in the
present ST. Paul team. although Shugart,
when he was taken from Minneapolis to
st. Louis, was quoted at $1,000 and the
market was not brisk either But when
the setting sun of base ball history
chronicles the decadence of base ball and
is paling in popular interest before the
cal acquisitions, Shugart's name will not
go burning down the horizon in figures
of fire:
5000.
II he gets a mark at all when that
great day shall come, it will be much
smaller, elike this:
That is the number of errors he made
In game at Lexington park yesterday,
and those six represent to Detroit Just
nine runs. Six-nine. Turn it upside down.
Study the figures. They are fine 1t was
the most unstudiedly brilliant and rotten
mixture of base ball that Shugart pre-
scented at short yesterday that the local
diamond has ever enjoyed as the produce
ton of enc man.
1t is possible for an infield or a nine
to get disorganized and make a lot of
errors. but six for any one individual is
quite a number.
The Detroit teams first appearance was
not a glorious triumph If they had not
fallen up against a windfaI of fortune
as tall as a ten board fence they would
have been trounced. They got ten hits
off Fisher, 1t is true, but they got six
of these in innings after the side should
have been out. They were entitled to
not to exceed four runs on the strength
of Fishers box work. and one of these
was homer that would have been an
out but for Eddie Burke's misjudgment
although it was hard driven ball on
which at the distance Burke was the
miSjudgment was easy.
But for Lally's home run, with two on
bases ahead of him, the showing made
by the Saints would have been even more
deplorable. :
HOW IT CAME ABOUT. +s's
Fisher struck out Eagan and Stallinss
and DUNCAN flew to Glenalvin and Burke
Just to show how different it could be-
Eddie Burke pushed his stick hard
against one of the fast drives that
Thomas was shooting across the plate,
and the ball went dashing into left field
Eddie stole second, but was caught nap
ping there. Geier flew to Eagan. and
the second baSem2n also stopped Glen
alvin's easy grounder, so that the inning
which opened promisingly bore within
1t the portent Of the impending defeat.
Patricio billiard, the magnolia-scented
Souuhron, was first to swing on the ball
in the second inning and it tore over the
ground even as it was wont to do when
he broke up the Southern league, by
losing all the balls, as Sammy Nichol
used to shout. But Barrett struck out
and Dillard, who tried to steal on the
third strike, was thrown out, too.
Slater was all that stood between the
locals and chance to bat then, if they
could fix him right, but he insisted on
giving the ball a new impetus with his
club, and a hard drive cut by Glenalvin
Slater stole second. Shugart's low throw
gave Elberfeld a base, and lie, too, stole
second, when the side should have been
out. Slater came in on Spies throw into
the field, and after Buelow walked to
first on balls, Thomas hit safely, and Ell
al lea
gave Shugart a chance to restore himself
III favor by finally retiring the side.
Even then, when Lally opened the inning
with his usual drive, the locals had IL
chance to even things up, had the others
followed Dams lead But Isbell gave
DUNCAN a high one and Preston and Shu-
CART gave Eagan chances. The infield
lines were all the world to them. Lally
was StOrmbound between first and sec
ond.
When Stallings poked the ball at Shu-
CART for tumble, opening the third, the
Detroit team lined up for battalion drill
again. DUNCAN sacrificed and billiard
drove a fly into center we'll back of the
b~ss. Stallings came home on the hit
while Patrick went to second. Barrett
gave Glenalvin a grounder, but Slater got
a good single over third and Elberfeld
skot one by Shugart. billiard scored.
Fisher threw Buelow out and the WIS.,
itors had it four to nothing.
Spies fouled to BuelOw, but Fisher hit
a clean one we'll into Dungan's district
and was left when Burke flew to StaIlings
and Geier to Barrett.
Thomas struck out, but Eagan got a
base. He ran we'll off, however, on STALL
ings low drive TO right, which Preston
caught, and double play resulted.
LOCALS SCORED ONE.
Glenalvin struck out, but Taiy hit one
at Thomas that was entirely too hot to
field. He did knock it down, and it
bounced over to billiards. corner, but even
the big fellow could not throw it out in
time and Dan was again safe. Elberfeld
let Isbells grounder get through his legs
and Lally went to second. Preston pop
ped an easy one to Eagan. but the other
two worked the double steal successfully
and Lally scored just before Shugart
drove high one out to Stallings
Another low throw by Shugert gave
DUNCAN life as the fifth inning started.
billiard forced Sam out, but Patsy was on
the base when Barrett hammered the ball
hard down into the center field to the
track for clean homer. That made six
for the visitors and an apparent cinch.
Shugart seemed to steady down and made
two stops and throws the second one
being especially fine.
A deep bank of cloud hung overhead and
