The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-16


Held down to two hits by Chech, with
perfect fielding by the Saints. the Mud
Hens never got a man past second
base in nine innings of clear, Snappy base
ball at Lexington park yesterday after
poOn. 1t was a pitchers battle, wherein
Chech's steadiness. won him a decisive
victory, although Deering at intervals
pitched remarkable ball Score Toledo 0,
st. Paul 5.
1t was Chech's first whirl at Toledo
and his second appearance at home and
he made both events memorable to all
concerned. He had control that lacked a
few light shades Of being perfect and
speed to rent. In addition to these quail
dcations he took care of all the little in
cidents that happened near the slab with
out a hitch in execution or Judgment.
He permitted Deinenger to walk and
Jared Hazleton's frame and with these
two exceptions everything else he did
counted against the gentlemen under Mr..
Longs supervision.
The high -geared Deering worked up to
the pitchers pinnacle at times and when
he got there his assortment of deception
was varied and effective. Deering equaled
Chech's strike-Out of seven, but allowed
nine hits and six passes. He got fighty
in the third and flew pretty high, so that
by the time he was safely anchored on
the level again five hits had been corralled.

There wasn't anything riotous about the
hitting Of Kelley's men, as they plucled
but nine during the course of the after
noon, but there was some rather rare
displays Of judgment that were produc-
tive of bases Kelley was the only man
to walk to first and make the circuit
and he completed his tour by a well
executed double steal brought off in con-
Errorless Game.
The fielding of both teams was some
thing to look at through opera glasses,
not an error made on either side and
plenty of hard chances taken.
Umpire Pears apparently hasn't become
acclimated as yet and his optics refuse
TO work in the bright atmosphere where
balls and strikes are floating around. He
is eminently impartial, however, and
questions Of judgment are always de-
batable, although Mr.. Pears won't permit
the players to indulge in anything but
