: Check was given his first trial in the
box yesterday against the Denverites.
Although the new twirler lost his initial
game, he showed that he is made of the
right stuff. 1t is possible to say that
it was through no fault Of his that the
game went against him. A comparison
of the score will show that he pitched
just as good ball Meredith, who twirI-
ed for the visitors, and was entitled to
at least an even break at the end Of the
nine innings and ossibly a victory. Check
allowed but eight hits, and four OF these
came in the second inning. The visitors
gathered in two runs as a result of those
four hits, and they were entitled to them.
Their run-gettn9 should have ended at
that point and that probably would have
been the case but for the fact that
Parker was in the game. This player,
whom President Lennon said positively
had been released. was sent to the center
garden in the sixth inning and ne cele-
brated his advent into the game by
standing like a wooden man while a
fly ball dropped within thirty feet of him.
There were two men on bases with two
out when all this happened, and the NY
should have been an easy third out, but
instead the two basG-runnerS scored,
and the game was won And to add to
all this Parker famed the air in the
eighth inning, with billiard on third and
after three clean hits had been made off
Meredith
The game started out like real exhi-
bition Of baseball. Check was as steady
as clockwOrk and sent the visitors to
the bench in fast time in the first inning.
The first two men up in the second inn
ing were also easily disposed Of. Hickey
was the third man to face Check and
he was struck out had the balls thrown
been properly called. but Caruthers'
judgment prevented this, and Hickey
drew a single Sullivan followed with
another, and then Meredith put the ball
into the ccntcr field for two bags, scor-
ing the two men ahead of him. Meredith
was nipped at the plate on a beautiful
throw by Lippert from center.
The Wis tors scored their next and
final two runs in the sixth inning. Har
desty was first up and flew out to Brain.
Brown was passed and Jones hit safely.
Hickey went out from Brain to billiard.
With two out sullivan hit a long fly to
center. 1t should have been an easy out
for Parker. but he failed to even try to
get it and two runs scored. Meredith
was an easy out but the damage had
been done
The Saints scored the first two runs
IN the eighth. check led off and lined
out a pretty single to left field Brett
enstein followed with another to center
and billiard drove Check in with q clean
drive to center for two bags. Ryan hit
to Robinson and reached first on that
players bad throw to first While Breit-
enstein went home Brain hit to Hickey
and he and Ryan were doubled out at
second and first. billiard went to third
on the play but he failed to get away
as Parker famed
In the ninth Holly led Off with a single
to center which AlcHale let go through
him and Holly went to third. Higgins
flew out TO Jones in left. Holmes hit
q clean single to left and Holly scored.
There was a chance for Check to make
little history and he made an able eff
fort, but Meredith finally landed him for
q high foul, which Sullivan got Brett
enstein killed all hopes by tanning.
Score:
