MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 2S.-It
was an even split in the double header
between the Brewers and Saints at
Athletic park this afternoon, the
home team losing the first game and
winning the second. although it re-
quired eleven innings for the st. Paul
men to win and then only by a score
of l to O.
Elliott and Ferguson had a genuine
pitching battle, while in the second
game the Brewers punched their hits
with the errors of the Saints early in
the struggle and secured a lead that
Kelley's warriors could not overcome.
Despite the fact that nearly 5000
people were attending the opposition
game at Western League park there
were over 3,700 at Athletic park to see
the Brewers and Saints battle
The first contest was one of the
prettiest ever seen on the local
grounds. 1t was a battle between the
two best pitchers i'll the league-El-
lott and Ferguson-and for eleven in
nings the two teams struggled for su-
premacy. Not a man crossed the plate
on either side until the eleventh in
ming. Up to that time not a st. Paul
man had even seen third base.
jackson Ends Game.
In the eleventh after one man was
out Jackson lined the ball out for
triple and scored when Elliott made
a wild pitch. But for the wild pitch
the two teams might have played until
dark, as Sehaefer hit to UngIaub, who
would have thrown Jackson out at
the plate. but things did not happen
that way.
Twice the Brewers had men on third
base with one out, but Fergusons
pitching was so effective that they
could not get the man over the rubber.
Up to the eleventh inning only three
hits were made off Elliott. Nine men
were struck out by the big fellow and
his fielding of his position was superb
Ferguson also f1elded nicely and put
up great game. Schaefer and Hug
gins were the stars in the infield, the
two Of them getting everything in
sight and cutting off base hits too nu-
merOuS to mention.
The batting honors of the day Sfell
to Jiggs Donahue, and Jackson for the
Saints. In the first game Jiggs Sc
cured three singles and in the second
two singles and home run, six hits
out of eight times at batz Jackson
secured the only triple of the first
game, and in the second he got two
singles a double and home run out Of
five times at bat.
The Second Game.
The second game brought Willie
McGill and Stewart together in the
pitching line, and Willie almost du-
p1tcated his record feat of striking
out thirteen men. He famed twelve
of the Saints, which is within one Of
his own record, and better than any
other pitcher in the association has
made. He was very effective with
men on bases and never failed to
strike his men out.
The fielding feature was a running
catch by Dunleavy of KeIley's terrific
drive to left center. Dunleavy Jumped
fully three feet into the air as he ran
and got the ball, otherwise it would
have been a home run. Geier also
robbed Donahue of homer by block
Ing his drive in the fifth inning at full
speed at the time holding Jiggs at
first base.
Errors and single, together with a
wild pitch. gave Milwaukee two runs
in the first inning. A juggle bv.
Schaefer of McGiIFs grounder. and
Donahue's home run gave them two
more in the third. Unglaub's triple
and HemphilPs fly added the last one
In the fourth. After that Stewart set
tied down and pitched clever ball.
st. Paul scored two in the fifth on
Shannon's single and Jaekson's home
run; Jackson's single and two errors
gave them their last run in the sew
entn. The st. Paul team left for home
tonight and will prepare to meet the
Mlllers on their own grounds. Um-
pire foreman will accompany them
and Cunningham will visit Milwaukee,
