The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-28

Just about tea time the hop sorters
ayoke to the fact that there was a fine
opportunity to do something, and they
charged on Charles Chech with one accord
and six hits, which in connection with two
stolen bases and an error resulted in five
runs of lawful value. For ten innings
Chech made hits few and pretty far be-
tween. but in the eleventh with the score
tied, Cantillon's dopple braus waXed very
vigorous. Score, Milwaukee 8, st. Paul 3.
1t was another case Of extra inning luck
for the Saints. Every time Kelleys CO.
horts make a dash and tie the score, the
other side appears to have a few laps
on tap. which they suddenly unwind and
then it is all over except the sad chron-
icling thereof. Yesterdays disaster,
however, furnished plenty of excitement,
especially in the last innings, when the
heavyweight fans wheezed in an agony of
apprehension that was only too sadly full
filled.
The fatal eleventh looked the part from
the jump off, and the resemblance grew
stronger every time a lusty Brewer came
forth to swat Hits followed fast on the
heels Of hits, and when they weren't hit
ting they were stealing bases in a bare
faced manner that aroused rightful in
dignation With five runs to the bad there
was only one very small boy who voiced
any hope for the Saints and he was sud
denly squelched by a pessimistic parent
Elmer Stricklett. who appeared under
the Comiskey colOrs before joining the
Brewers guild, was one of the obstacles
in the Saints pathway yesterday Elmer
can come nearer to making a balk and
getting away with it than any of his pro-
1ession that have appeared thus far He
put the kibosh on two Saints yesterday
by these tactics which every person pres
ent with the exception of Mr. Hart con
.sidered a balk. but as Mr.. Harts consid-
Grafton was the only one working to ad-
vantage, Elmer profited thereby.
Even the silent Jones was forced to re-
monStTate with Mr.. Hart, and when Jones
has kick coming. and tells anybody
about it, justice should lend an attentive
ear.
Pears Among the Missing.
One of yesterdays mitigating accidents
was the absence of Mr.. Pears, who dis
appeared during the night. Mr. Hart, with.
the exception of the balk Incidents gave
general satisfaction and the Nervousness
OF a balk depends entirely on who is the
guilty one.
Chech pitched good, steady ball for ten
innings, allowing but seven hits. two of
these calling for two bases. He had con-
1rol to syndicate, and every Brewer that
got to first had to hit the ball as an evil
dence of good faith, there were no passes

lett gave but one pass and has but one
