MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 1S.-The
champion st. Paul team played nineteen
innings against Cantillon's Brewers at
Athletic park yesterday afternoon with
out scoring, a run or even getting a man
as far as third base. The Brewers made
three runs all told, but they were all
scored in the first game, and the second
game was called after the tenth inning ON
account of darkness, and this, the last
game of the season between these two
teams, will go down in baseball history as
a tie.
Considering the weather, the attendance
was remarkable, over six thousand en-
thusiasts turing out to see the home team
struggle with the Saints in a double
header. and it was a loyal crowd that
rooted and cheered the local players and
roasted the visitors, just as real fans are
expected to do. When the shades Of
night began to fall after ten nerve rack
ing innings the crowd was still there and
none would have gone until the game was
called with the score: Milwaukee @, st.
Paul 0.
The second game was the real contest,
and it was one of the prettiest battles be-
tween pitchers seen here this year. Tom
Dougherty was On the rubber for Milwau-
kee. and the big fellow was at his best.
Pitted against him was Slagle. who has
puzzled the Brewers all year, in fact, he
was an enigma to more than one of the
teams Of the season. The honors of the
battle go to Dougherty, for he allowed
but three hits in ten innings and passed
but one man to first base. Aside from
this, his team mates did not give him the
same high class support as the Saints did
Slagle, three errors OF the Milwaukee in
field permitting men to reach first base
who should have been retired. The Brew
ers made five hits off Slagle in as many
innings and three men were passed to
first. These were the only Milwaukee
runners who reached the bases, for the
Saints gave errorless support to their
Inning after inning it was the same
story. Not more than four local men
facing Slagle in any one inning, and only
I'm the second and fourth innings did men
reach second base.
The game might have been monetonous
but for the misplays of the Brewers who
anxious seat by blunders that threatened
the loss of the game, but Dougherty al
ways eXtricated himself with glory.
In the third inning Baxter fumbled an
easy grounder from Slagle's bat and a
moment later the runner was advanced
to second by wild pitch, but Jones went
out on fly to center and the mighty

out, fortunately. and a fly to Pennell
checked the danger. After that the only
visitor to reach first base was Jackson,
who singled in the eighth, but a double
play on Wheeler'S grounder to Baxter re-
lieYed the tension. At some time or other
nearly every man on the home team was
given one or more opportunities to make
a hero of himself. but failed. In the sec

Pencil from second, but neither Bateman
nor Wolfe We're equal to the occasion. In
the fourth Pennell and Baxter could have
brought O'Bricn H. but they, too. failed.
In the fifth and tenth innings Stone
could not hit safely with a man on first.
and in the eighth Sehaefer struck out
after Stone had singled. In fact. the
game rested with the pitchers. and neither
weakened. AT the end of the tenth it
was growing too dark and the urnpires
agreed that the contest should be called
While Dougherty pitched great game
he IS not deserving of any more credit
than Stricklett who held the champions
down TO two hits i'll the first game which
was won by the Brewers by a Score Of 3
TO 0. In the first two innings Wheeler and
Householder each made a hit, and they
were the only ones the spit BALI pitcher
allowed in the game. Stricklett passed a
man to first in the seventh inning, and
these three men We're the only ones who
reached first, as the Brewers backed him
up with perfect support, and not one of
the visiting players got as far as second
base.
Manager Kelley sent 'busher'' by the
name of KilToy in to pitch against
Stricklett. and at first it looked as If the
battle would be too sided to be in
tereSting. But as the game progressed ii
became evident that the graduate from
the Northern league was something Of q
pitcher. In the eight innings the Miiwau-
kee batters faced him they were only
able TO get five singles, and but for field
ing blunders the home team would not
have scored. The first tally was made
in the third inning when Slattery was
hit and Stricl1lett advanced him with a
sacrifice. Stone got him to third with a
hit to the second baseman and he scored
when Marcan fumbled Schaefer's ground
er. In the next inning Clark singled and
reached second when Pennell hit a ground
er to Jones, who. in an effort to head off
Clark at second hit the runner with the
ball. He scored a moment later wher
Kilroy slipped III trying to field Bakers
bunt and then threw the ball to the
bleacher fence.
The final run OF the game was made ir
the sixth when Jones dropped a bal
thrown by Kiiroy after he had fielded
Schaefer's timiG hit. O'Brien advanced
him with sacrifice and Pennell scored
him with single to right field. The
scores:
