THE SECOND GAME.


The second game was battle royal be-
;ween Sammy Lever and Mike O'Neil.
Both men were at their best. and it was
a case of where safe hit might win the
game at any time Leevy looked easy' for
ST. Louis at the start. Farrell came up
IN the first inning doubled and was pushed
around. This appeared to be the begin
ming of the end for Sam, as he has been
hit very hard IN games past; but the St.
Louis players laughed too soon. Try as
they might. they could not get another
dark uniformed man near the plate.
But up until the eighth inning O'Neil
was even better than Lever. Not a man
hsd crossed the plate for Pittsburg. and It
!ooked as though none would. Beaumont,
who had made some wonderful running
catches in the middle garden, even though
suffering from a sore limb. came up in
the eighth and hit the second ball handed
In by .O'Neill 10 the fence for three bases.
and made bad throw to third. the ball
rolling under the players bench and
Beaumont trotted home at his leisure.
This tied the score.

back after IT,. and by jumping in the air

This was at least a triple saved. and the

Candidate.

The discharge of Deputy Coroner C. n.
Streeper of Upper Alton has caused trouble
in Madison County Republican ranks.
C. F. Tufhi is Coroner of Madison Coun-
ty. He was nominated and elected four
years ago. At the same convention c. n.
Sireepcr of Upper Alton was a candidate
for the nomination. but withdrew in favor
of Tuffi after the latter had promised
to make him his deputy. Streeper received
his appointment Immediately after the
election, succeeding W. Fl. Bauer of Alton,
who was serving as a deputy under
Coroner II. ] Bailey
Everything went well in the Coroner's 6
Office until the Republican County Con-
ycntion was called to meet al Alton early
In July to make a county ticket. The an
nouncement of candidates. came thick
and fast for the various offices. One of
the first to announce himself was Deputy
Streeper. who aspired to the nomination

Streeper says he announced himself be-
cause his chief had given him to under
stand that he would not be candidate
for reelection. kesardiess of what under
standings may have existed during the
months previous to the convention when
the body was called to order at Alton
both Streeper and Tuffii were candidates
as well as ". II. Bauer and Allen Keiser
OF Alton. and Doctor Tulley OF Venice.
The race was a free-for-all and one Of the
prettiest contests on the floor of the con-

ignored the matter. Friday night a per-

by fufhi that he was discharged to sur

Coroner for Alton to succeed him.
