although he roared at the decision of
Stoney, a member of the Denvers who UNI
pired the game, and accused him in no I'M
certain terms Of passing 1t into him" for
certain real or imaginary grievances. But
be that as It may, Stryker took a fresh
hitch in his belt and continued the amateur
ish conduct which he had 80 forcibly dis
played In the first inning. Riley got q
free walk to first and Simmons made a
single. on which Riley advanced to second.
Then Stryker got In his fine Italian hand
again and struck out Hickey, but his newly
gained laurels went aglimmering when Tay-
lor grasped a Stat and drove out q home
run, chalking up three more scores. At this
Stryker lost his head and also control of
the ball and for the second time gave Cot
ton free passage to first by hitting him.
This was too much and Stryker was called
out OF the box, Drlscoll being his successor.
The side was retired by Greene, who went
out at first on a weak grounder to the
pitchers box. In the third Logue went out
at first, but McCausland, Riley and Sim
mons each chased one another in turn from
base to base on free rides given them by
, Driscolls wild pitching, and at this he was
deemed unworthy 10 longer continue In the
box and was replaced by Lawler. Hickey
singled and brought McCausland home, ad-
vancing each or the other base runners.
The bases were full when Taylor distin-
guished himself by making a second home
run and when he crossed the plate five more
runs had been chalked up, After that Law
Ter got down TO business and only one more
score was made. This was in the fifth when
Riley got to first on an error OF Scully at
short, who fumbled a grounder and in dis
gust refused TO exert himself by thro wing
1t to first. Taylor followed with a three
Dagger which brought Riley home and the
fifteenth run was made.
On the Brewers side the Ice was broken

run and saved the locals from the impend-
ing whitewash. The score:

stryker, DriscoII and LawIer Try
Their Cunning with the Sphere and
Two Are UnceremoniOusIy
Fired From the Box.

The Denver Cults made 1t three straight
from Buck Keith's Brewers Monday in a
game which was a walkaway for the visit
ors. The score was 10 to 6, and up until
he NTH Inning 1t looked as though the
rewers were to be shut out.
The game started off with the locals at
the bat and Simmons, the crack pitcher, who
showed the ball over the plate the first
game, occupied the box. He sent the sphere
over the plate with such velocity that the
locals merely made frantic lunges at 1t with
no thought Of ever seeing first. Waller,
however, started things off well by swatting
the ball away out in center field, and it
looked as though 1t would be a safe hit,
but 1t was not ordained that such should be.
Greene happened to be out in that center
field picking summer posies and when the
ball bounded toward the northwest from
Walters bat Greene started after It like a
quarter horse, and It fell into his mitt as
IL 1t had been specifically ordered. Lawler
made three violent swipes at the ball, but
his efforts availed him not. Bradford
touched of a weak and protesting grounder
to Riley on third, and found the ball at first
when he reached that coveted spot. In
Denver's half 1t was different. Stryker, the
new pitcher whom Buck had signed. was
dealt with numerically. Eleven times
was he faced by the opposing players during
that inning and eight times did the Cults
skate down to first and ever and anon, on
past 10 second, either on safe hits or by
being hit with the ball. Six runs were
piled up In this inning,
For the next three innings the Brewers,
who timidly tip-toed up to the pan, Eere
put out in one, two. three order. In the
second half of the second the visitors
continued to toy with the delivery OF

Miller was then ahead of him. but he
was not very long in sending the Chi

his freshness to the last, and looked
at the close as if he could have easily
gone on for another 100 miles. At the

he speedily righted himself, with Kent
and Steenson steering the double-seat-
er. Pierce, however, had gained an
advantage, which he made the most
OIL, and he was leading at the seventh
mile In the next lap Fixes was again
ahead, with Pierce relegated to his old
position of a fraction of second be-
hind. Pierce made several desperate
attempts to pass Elkes, but succeed

the finish of the twenty-ninte mile
Elkes was again leading having over
taken and passed Pierce in less than
a lap. Pierce led again at the thirty

old place in the next mile When he
passed the thirty-nine mile mark Pierce
made another fierce squirt, but did not
succeed in passing Elkes.
