The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-04-21

Chicago at st. Louis.
Pittsburg at Cincinnati.
Heidrick's hitting was chiefly responsible
for the victory which the st. Louis baseball
team achieved over that of Chicago at
League Park Saturday afternoon. The score
was: st. Louis II, Chicago 3. OF the eleven
runs St. Louis secured. Heidrick hit in not
less than five. and scored one himself. Dom
ovan hit in two runs. and Nichol and
Burkett one each with clean drives.
Heidrick secured two hits. a single. which
an outfield error let him get two bases on,
and a home run over the left fielder's head
to the fence-a huge boost. indeed. He had
but one chance in the field-a nice. long fly
from McCornick's bat, which he should
have swallowed as a hungry duck does a
worm. He let it get away for a home run.
Though batting well. Heidrick is far from
playing his game in the field.
Jones pitched for St. Louis. A tall young
man named Hughes. who was with the
Western League last season. twirled for
Chicago. The score shows that Jones was
hit safely fifteen times. It does not tell q
truthful tale. At least half the hits made
by the Chicagoans were scratches-soft pop
flies, known to players as Texas Leaguers,'
just over the infielders' heads. Chicago
made three OF these hits in the ninth in
ming alone. Dolan, Delehanty and McCor-
mick getting them.
Indeed Doyle and Killing were the only
C~hicagoans to hit Jones fairly. He pitched
a much better game than the score can
show. He started out wild, but soon ac-
CURED control. There was fair speed in
his arm and he seemed to control the
curve balls better than the fast ones. Jones
fielded his position remarkably we'll. Two
OF his three assists were remarkable plays.
Els assist on Hartzel's schlaff was one Of
the best a l~eft-handed pitcher ever made.
Though St Louis secured but ten hits of
Hughes, that pitcher was hit harder than
Jones, for every hit st. Louis made was
hard and sharp.
Hughes q Likely Looking Pitcher.
Hughes is a good pitcher, but he was
very wild. He hit six batters and gave
three bases on balls. He takes slight ad-
vantage Of his great height. as he uses a
side-arm ball most OF the time. He had
fair speed for the season and a sweeping
curve.
Nichols caught Jones and did elegantly.
He hit we'll also Padden was in the game

The game was quite devoid Of feature
worthy of mention. But when the pitchers
are SO drawn with cold that they are
simply lobbing the ball, when the infielders
that would ordinarily be easy outs 90 for
hits, it is impossible for a player to show
any form whateyer., It has been too cold.
How the Runs Were Scored.
