for the Marion club Of the Western Asso-
%ciation. made his entree into fast company
In a st. Louis uniform. against Brooklyn
at League Park yesterday. Mr.. Yerkes. like
his illustrious namesake. had his telescope
In good working order and he did things to
the Hanlonites. Try as they would, the
visiting tribe could not connect safely more
than six times in the game and the SIX
hits were all singles. Up to the eighth in
ming Mr.. Yerkes held the Brooklynites down
to two hits and no runs. The 5000 fans who
%journeyed out to the VanIeventer avenue
grounds INDUCED in noisy demonstrations
and gave the young Hoosier all kinds of en-
couragement. But Keller. Sheckard and
company, emerged from oblivion in the
eighth inning and three successive hits were
registered which counted Brooklyn one run.

scores. 1t was the only inning in which
there was anything doing for Hanlon's
men.

locals safe until the fifth inning. when his
benders were given some rafting punish
