Mercer's pitching. He knew the fielding
strength of the team behind him and did
not hesitate to put the ball squarely over
the plate. 1t was an infielders' game
strictly. Six Washington men went out
on flies to the outfield, all of them being
captured by Stencil. Five of the st.
Louisans were put out on outfield flies.
All the other putouts were made by men
inside the diamond. Mercer allowed only
seven hits. Four of these were made in
the fifth inning, the only time when fer
a moment he let down in his splendid work.
Atherton led the locals with the stick,
getting four safe hits out of five time at
bat. Slaele, Barry, and Bonner also batted
hard and timely, while in the seventh
Freeman knocked his customary home
run. The hit was. perhaps, the longest
made this seasan, the ball going nearly to
the fence to the left of the bleachers. The
usual ceremony of cap doffing in acknowl-
edgment of the yells of the 1000 specta-
tors had to be gone through with before
the crowd would be quieted.
In the seventh inning Blake was caught
mapping off first base, and a quick throw
from Mercer to Cassidy resulted in his be-
ing put out. The decision was close, but
evidently fair. The entire st. Louis team
however, united in vigorous protest to
Umpire Connolly. This official ordered the
mob TO disperse, but Heidrick tarried to
say a few parting words, and Connolly told
him TO take his position in the field in or
der that the game might proceed. Heidrick
started to obey, but 0'Connor, who was
acting as captain in Tebeau's absence
called him back. Connolly repeated his or
der, and Heidrick again started. but was
called the second time by O'Connor. Con-
molly then ordered Heidrick from the game
and pulled his watch on him. O'Connor
parleyed in vain. The umpire was obdur-
ate, and finally Heidrick mournfully pro-
ceeded to the bench and Schreckengost
took his place in right.
The Senators were first at bat, and made
good start. SIagle flied to Blake, but
Barry followed with single to left, and
scored on Bonner's single to right Bon
ner was retired in an attempt to steal, and
Atherton hit to Mexican and was thrown
out at first.
In the third, St Louis tied the score.
Blake got first on balls, and reached sec
ond on Cuppys infield hit. Burkett also
went out on a grounder, but Heidrick fol-
lowed with a single TO left and Blake
tailed
Washington again forged ahead in the
fourth. Barry reached first on Mexican s
error, but was caught between second and
tnlrd on bonner lnneIu MI, ana was run
down by Wallace. Bonner reached second
during the mix-up, and scored on Ather-
tons single to centre. Mcguire also
singled, but was thrown out at second in
trying TO stretch 1t into a two-bagger.
Freeman flied TO Stanzel, retiring the side.
In the first half of the fifth, the visitors
made two, taking the lead. Blake opened
the round with a three base hit to centre,
and scored on Cuppy's single in the same
direction. Burkett flied 10 Cassidy, and
Cuppy was caught at second on Heidrick S
hit to Padden. Stencil then singled, send
ing Heidrick to third, from whence he
scored on McKean's safety to right. Wal
lace flied to Freeman.
In the sixth Slagle again tied the score
on his own single, .Barry's sacrifice, and
singles by Bonner and Atherton. 1t was
in the seventh that the locals opened up
on Cuppy as If they meant to do murder
