i Anxious to ease the barbed gait into
the frames of the budding Champs be-
fore the largest possible outpouring OF
the populace D. Gear kept the blanket
on his prize twirler yesterday and came
forth and got his. Score, 7 to 8.
Young Mr.. Gibson will endeavor to
present another of his few-swat games
this afternoon, and, as Mr.. Gear got
in bad, it is up to the prize finger TO
fill the fanatics with pain. 1t is up to
tardly plans.
This game. recalled the affair of
Friday. It was so different Having
used up all his extra time rubbing
goose grease on the wing injured last
"wednesday, M. Kelley found that his
elbow would wiggle without creaklng,
and returned to the first bag. ]. Sui
livan smeared his knee from the same
bottle and was again able to bend his
prayer bones without pain.
These wonderful recoverieS put
Middle Schaefer back at short and al
flowed P. Geier to camp out near the
cycle path. Having grown new
covering on the end of his bunged
thumb, Eddie Wheeler was able to
Iperform in a most finished manner at
third, and the Saints were again in
troduced in the original cast.
| Three doubles, a triple and a helm
1auf, to say nothing Of six other time
! ly short distance bumps, took the
ginger out of Mr.. Gear and his asso-
ciates and made the game rather tame
and uninteresting. Mike Grady tried to
arouse some enthusiasm with a belt
worth three bases, and Mr.. Gear whal
ed out a triple at the proper moment,
but their pals failed to make good.
Mr.. Foreman alone held the 1,75S
from the bored yawn. In his usual
happy manner, and without fear of
serious injury, Mr.. Foreman again
showed his manly chest in front of
foul tip, and then, to show his agility
stopped another with his leg. How
Mr.. Foreman can do this every day
with such recognized success is a
question that bothers.
/. Two were gone in the opening round
before the Saints got fairly started
Geier began by flying out to Gear. To
prevent confusion with these two
names, please call Geier with a strong
emphasis on the /. Shannon singled
and stole second, but Jackson hit to
.Lewee and Shannon was caught at
third. Jackson stole second, and, as
willie Nance is a short young man,
Rothfuss hardly got the buffers heave
before jackson was at third Middle

and Schaefer came around. Kelley
famed.
Wheeler broke into the extra-base
class in the second. with a double. but
Butler threw right this time, and Ed
die was nabbed at second. Gear hit
Sullivan. and T. McAndrews booted
IStewarts drive from third to second.
II McAndreWs had relied on his feet
alone he would have kicked to Nance
IN time to stop Sullivan. Gear tried
TO get Sullivan at second on a slunl-
Der play, but the throw went wild and
Sullivan moved on to third. Geier
fouled out to Butler. and Shannon sent
a long single to center. The battery
came IN with two more runs. Shannon
tried to steal and was nailed.
T. The Blue and Gray bunch got their
nrst in the fourth. when Jawnnie
ARothfuSs started off with a single. He
waited around the paths while Ma
loney and Nance were being stopped.
but was saved for score by Grady,
who walloped one for three sacks.
duooard knoll only flew out to Hug
gins, and the round ended.
Middle Schaefer took this run back
In the sixth. Schaefer caught one in
the air, and while J. Rothfuss and Ma
loney pursued the assaulted ball. Mid
ole padded down the track. He made
the loop before the ball got back to
the infield.
: 'McAndrews opened the eighth with
a hit for base and scored on Gears
ree-sacker. Gear scored while
Rothfuss was being stopped at first.
and this stopped the scoring, Maloney
and Nance going out on infield plays
Shannon flied to McAndrews in the
Saints part of the eighth. Jackson
singled and stole second. Schaefer
flied to Maloney. and Higgins walked.
/ jackson and Higgins worked a double
steal before Butler began to think
about it, and scored on a neat line
drive to left, furnished by Kelley.
! Wheeler left Kelley stranded by going
out, Nance to Grady. The Blues went
out one, two. three. In their part of
the ninth, and the Saints had enough
! without going any farther. The score.
