series in the conference league between
St Thomas and Manchester yesterday
afternoon the Catholics gave the Presby-
ter1ans drubbing that viii not be for

Due and orange in the institution out on
Grand avenue. Score g to 5
capt Halfpenny's aggregation pounded
the bail, ran bases and made scores in a
most disgraceful manner from a Presby-
terrain standpoint, and had sileaced the
Manchester rooters before the contest had
gone three rounds. twenty-five hits
helped along by sixteen errors on the part
OF Manchester. tells the story Of the
Catholics victory. Harrington was the
only Saint in the game who failed to get
hit, and some Of his team mates are
credited with three and four. The Pres
byterians tried four pitchers but the
Catholics played no favorites, and the
fayorite twirlers of the Grand avenue
institution Were sent to the bench as
regularly as they came up
but II was not altogether the fault Of
the pitchers. The Manchester team fleldeG
badly, as the sixteen errors viii show, and
they also failed to hit the ball Nc
Donald, the Manchester shortstop was
the one particular bright star among the
Presbyterians when il came to stick
work Out Of the FIVE times I'D he raped
the bah for three singles and a double
but ne played in the same class with the
rest Of the team in field work. making
three errors out Of the five chances he
had at short. The only other members
OF the Manchester team to get a hit were
Guy Mutt and Wallace. Leutge was an
enigma TO the rest of them
St Thomas Shows Well.
The manner in which the Catholics
played yesterday indicates that St. Thorn
as will again be a factor in the race for
the pennant, and if Capt Halfpenny can
put up as good game against the other
teams In the league there viii be no way
OF stopping the purple and gray.
Leutge, who was on the slab for St
1honaS yesterday, Is not only a good
pitcher, but he is a good hitter, getting
four hits, two Of which were for two
bases out Of his six times up yesterday.
The game was played on the Manchester
diamond. and for one brief inning il
looked as though il might be an even
contest. The PreSbyterianS were cheered
on by the roofing OF some zoo students.
but the rooters had little work to do
after the game had fairly started
Mr.. Hoy, stocky little Presbyterian.
was sent in to serve out the twisters for
Manchester, and in the first inning he
did very well Not a hit and not a score,
while Guy, the first batter up for the
Presbyterian bunch, raped out single
and things looked good for Manchester
But that was about the only time in the
game il did look good. Leutge famed the
next man, and while Flanagan got down
TO the first station on a helder's choice,
Capt Mutt went out at first on an easy
hit to short.
In their second the Catholics scored
three. and the Presbyterians failed to. do
anything in their half.
II was in the third that Capt. Half
penny's men started the onslaught. With
two men gone, Hoy struck Ryan out but
Dickson let the bail go by. and the ropes
holding the balloon were cut When the
dust cleared away it was found that the
eighth score had been made and the
chances of the PreSbyterians winning the
game had been considerably loewred- In
game had been considerably lowered. In
runs. and Capt. Mutt sent Hoy to the
stable.
Mr.. Conner was the y0ungster sent in TO
take his place, and when the handsome
youth stepped into the box he was greeted
by words Of encouragement from the fair
sex along the side lines. He got through
the first inning with but one run charged
against him, but that was made through
errors, as Conner had not permitted a
hit TO be made of his delivery.
All Pitchers Looked Alike.
But right in the very next inning Mr.
Conner met his Waterloo He got all that
was coming to him. and then some.
Leutge started things in this inning with
q double. and Ryan followed with a sin
gle. Harrington didn't do anything but
Hafpenny hit for double, Doyle raped
out a single. Tonlek hit for a single and
T0mek followed with one for two bases.
KermS hit a clean one. and when it was
up to LeUtge again the pitcher lined out
a single Another double by Halfpenny
and a single by TOmek finished the work
and the prospects OF Mr.. Conner pulling
the game out Of the fire had gone glim-
meFing. Nine hits and a total Of twelve
runs; that's what happened to Conner in
the eighth, and he was sent to keep Hoy
company, while Capt. Mutt called upon
Thropp TO finish the work. ThroDp lasted
quick His curves were easily solved by
the Catholics and Capt. Mutt came in from
second base and finished the game him
self
Nobody remembers Just how il was
done, but the Saints were finally retired
just as they were about to push across
another run to make it an even thirty
and the PreSbyterians with but five TO
their credit. could only draw a blank in
their last half of the ninth.
Manchester scored three Of their runs
IN the third and the remaining two in the
eighth The three. in the third were
made on couple of errors a base on
balls, batter hit and q double by Nc
Donald. In the eighth another base on
balls. another batter hit and a single
tells the story. A brief story Of the bat
