The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-05-03

WRITTEN o The SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Although the Dedication ceremonies pre-
vented any athletic contests from being
conducted locally for the last half OF the
week just closed. two or three games Of
moderate interest were held in the first
three days. or these. the match between the
Christian Brothers team and tho monitor
Arkansas nine aroused general interest.
The affair was a farce. SO far as being a
spectacle is concerned. the Brothers holding
the sailors safe at all stages. In the early
part CT the game. loose playing by the eel
lege team enabled the visitors to run up
enough scores to make the affair interesting
for three innings. Then the c. B. C. men
settled down to work and easily put 1t over
their opponents.
Thu final score was Is to 10 in favor Of the
college, this total representing but five In
Rings of play. The Brothers could have
doubled their score quite, as easily. Con-
sidering the fact that the sailors have no
opportunity fer practice, however. their
work was really good.
There Is not sufficient space on the mon
itor to enable them even to practice at
catching. and they are shut off from all
work of O baseball sort. That they could
make any showing at all. under the circum-
stances. is a point in their favor.
Smith Academy's team. badly crippled
and with some OF Its best men missing. met
q stronger aggregation in the shape of the
Concorcia Seminary team at Pastime Park
last week, and went down to defeat. The
match did not represent the Smith teams
ability in any sense.
High Schools work has been good
Throughout. ard the red-and-black squad
seems to be OF considerable Strength this
year. Manuals work in defeating Washing
ton a week ago also indicates that this
school has a reasonably strong diamond or
ganization.
One OF the leading baseball games Of the
last week among the colleges was the meet
ing between Georgetown and the Naval
Academy team at Annapolis. Georgetown
winning by the score of s to 4. Three runs
were scored by tho academy in the third
inning on account Of an error by a George
town fielder, the victors outplaying the mid
dies for the remainder of the game.
Drill was in the box for Georgetown. but
Is said not to have shown his usual good
form. He servcd for six innings and was
superseded by Fay. who allowed but two
hits In the remaining three innings of the
contest. Smith, at second base, was one Of
the stars for the Eiddies.
