Catching UP with another of the
washdays double crossed by L. hickey
when he framed UP our list of playing
date, the Saints went to Slab Town
yesterday afternoon. and While the
other companies on the circuit were
resting. once again threw the boots
into the patient, long-suffering Or
phans. Score. to 5.
Having noting else to do, Mr.. Can
tillon and his team sat in the stand
and watched the budding champs yank
themselves several points nearer to
the top of the heap. Just thirteen pitt
full points push in between M. Kelley's
team and the league leaders. and If
things break right this afternoon the
Cantillon mob will back up one hole.
Should this misfortune belt G. Hav-
enor one, he can only blame the Mil
waukee climate. There appears to be
an atmosphere in Beerville that will
get even the most seasoned spahgle-
Wearer if allowed time. But a short
time ago Willie McGilI was overcome
and is but now slowly recovering; and
Willie Phyle. who once shared spot
in the hearts of the populace along
with Dave Rose and Charlie Pfster,
has been compelled to draw his re-
lease from c.. Havenor and go to Mem
phis to recuperate. Willie. once
strong and robust youth. was SO
broken in health that he staggered on
his way to the depot. These tanneries
should be driven outside the city linn
its.
Several new faces butted into this
postponed affair. The once esteemed
Mr.. Cunningham also showed once
more as the Wearer of the Indicator.
Mr.. Foreman did not show. but the
1888 did not suggest that he be sent
for. Mr.. Cunningham did just as bad.
John F'lournoy wore one of the new
maps seen in the game, and the other
was on the front of Jawnnie Roth
fuss head. The newcomers both de-
butted as right fielders Flournoy
wore Jimmie Jackson's shirt and glove
and Rothfuss tried to keep from los
ing himself in Elmer Smiths Orphan
uniform.
Not caring to miss the game. Jim
mic Jackson wore uniform coat over
his undershirt, but failed to deceive
the keen jumps and was chased off the
lot. This getting the run to the out
side appears to have become habit
with NJ. Kelley's tossers Of snappy
ball.
Kelley a Star FiIder.
Twice during this pepperys struggle
was the spot light turned on M. KEEL
ley, and twice the newspaper world
was treated to horrible scare. Using
the hand that pens sporting editorials
during spare moments. Mike, without
the aid of a glove. stabbed Schaefer's
wild heave to first and stopped Roth
fuss in the eighth. and then. to wind
up the afternoon, stabbed again at the
close of the ninth, pulled down high
wide one from Huggins and whipped
it to the plate in time to get Oyler,
who was attempting to score on what.
TUban hn last If l0nKa6 like a
heave by Higgins.
Cyrus Vasbinder, although 1t was not
his turn, worked for the Orphans. Cy,
having had two games wrenched from
him by the Saints since July started,
was anxious to discover if the budding
He found out.
Cyrus passed one and allowed three
singles in the opening round, and this,
with some stolen bases sandwiched in,
started the Saints off with bunch Of
three. Cyrus stayed on to the finish
and saw the Saints use eight more
drives in collecting six more tallies.
Jake VolZ began for~the Kelley team
in the first and stopped in the second.
Jake had another bad time, and, with
bad umpire, issued several too many
passes. An error and two walks in the
second filed the paths before anything
in the put-out line had been recorded,
and G. Chech was rushed in to break
UP any idea of a lengthy parade Two
runs got in while Chech was hurrying
the finish of the inning. Two more
were taken by means of single, a
double and another single in the third,
but by this time Charlie was het up
and the Orphans stopped for the after
noon.
Story of Game.
Geier went out on an infield play
when the game started, but Shannon
followed with SINGLE and J. FIournoy
began his Sanity career with another
belt worth a base. Schaefer walked,
and Shannon and Flournoy tailed on
Higgins single. Schaefer went to third
on Kelley's drive to Lally, and with
Higgins started a double steal. Middle
scored. Wheeler ended the round by
flying out to Oyler.
In the second, with two gone, Geier
singled, stole second, went to third on
wild pitch, and scored on Ludwig's
failure to grab the ball and stop him.
The next bunch came in the middle
round. Chech drew base, and after
Geier had flied to Lally, Shannon rap
ped one for three sacks, scoring Chech
FIournoy flew out tc McCreery, and
Shannon beat the throw to the plate.
The Orphans claimed he started ahead
of the catch, but the claim was thrown
out by Mr.. Cunningham. Schaefer
walked and went to second when Vas
binder used one Of his extra high ones
again. Higgins hit to McCreery, and
once again the high sky bothered the
man from Brooklyn. Schaefer scored
on the muff. The report that the Min
neapolis management intended having
that sky lowered is denied. Higgins
tried to steal second and was. thrown
out.
The eighth run crept in in the inning
of the same name. Wheeler started
with a bump worth two sacks and
Peirce drew a pass. Chech sacrificed
the two up one notch, and Wheeler got
in on Geier's high one to McCreery.
