The first game from Colorado Springs at
Lexington yesterday afternoon in a walk
and that in the second game Thomas
who was lately released from the ST.
Paul team and picked up by Donahue
and Hulen in the hope that he could
beat out mis- old pals, was hammered all
over the lot, while COgan, who twirl ed
against him, held the Colorado people
down to two hits and shut them out
without a run.
1t was a great day for the Saints col
lectively and individually. Every man
ON the team got into the game at some
stage or other and every one is entitled
60 an equal share in the glory of win
ming a double-header from the Springs.
BY the way,th crowd from the Springs IS
the same bunch that bSat the Millers two
out Of three and narrowly escaped max
Ing 1t three straight. And 1t is also
Just as well to say at this point a.
the Colorado Springs team plays a very
fast article of ball There can be but
one conclusion according to the dope.
We should wipe the Millers off the earth
In the coming series with them.
But all this side talk has nothing to
DO with the way in which CHECK and
Cogan carried the st. Paul team Up
two rounds of the pennant ladder yes
terday. Check was matched against Nc
Medley in the first game. Check was
in at the finish but McNeeley quit be-
fore the end of the first inning. Never
was a twirler so badly treated. The
very first ball that he sent up hit Lip
. hoE II, 70
second. In the meantime Dnlard was
approaching the plate. McNeeley smiled
ut him and tossed up another. Pat
damned it out to deep right for three
bags. Ryan missed the first one, but
pushed the second through the diamond
Cor a single, and the smile was gone
from McNeeleys face. 1t was getting
3 mistake and fouled out. Then Holly
hit past second for single. Higgins
sent one to the short field and forced
Ryan at tn I'd. There were two out as
Holmes took his place in the batter's
box, but somebody yelled to "Ducky'' to
elmer out" and he did. Then came Will
son. And how ''Old Bfl' did hit this
ball. 1t sailed away over Fernon's
head in left field and Bill took three
sacks before he could be stopped. That
was enough for McNeeley. He was sent
TO the stable, and CASTOR was called out.
Check hit q long fly to center and the
aide was out CASTOR pitch a good
game of ball holding the Saints down to
i've hits for the remainder of the game,
but Donahue might just as well have
saved his star for one of todays games,
for the damage was done and could not
be undone.
Check came near sharing the fate Of
BfcNeeley IN the first inning. He start
cd out by striking out Hulen. Hernon
followed with safe hit, but was forced
out at second by Hemphill. Tannehill
lined the ball out to left field for two
sacks and Holland singled, scoring two
runs. Shea put a line fly square in Hug
gins hands. There was some little
doubt about Checks ability after that
first inning. There is none now. He
pitched pretty game for the next
eight innings as any fan would care to
see. He allowed but two hits In
eight times that the Springs people had
chance at him and but twenty-seven of
them had such an opportunity. three
more than the regulation twenty-four
put-outs for the eight innings. Coupled
with this the team gave him perfect sup
port. In addition to the five that the
Saints had gathered IN III the first In
ming they added one more tally in the
seventh on hits by Ryan and billiard and
Hollands error in right field.
