Pop Eyler was batted at will at Vinton
Street park wednesday afternoon. The
champions won by the score Of TO before
a crowd that was somewhat dipinutive
because Of the lowering skies McCloskey
was in the box for Omaha and he was
right, which is 'nuf said. st. Joe simply
could not hit the ball when hits meant
runs. McCloskey struck out seven Of the
Saints and backed by perfect fielding ex-
cept in the eighth, when Captain Joe got
a little case Of the rattles and booted two
grounders, not a wabble was made.
McCloskey tried to get out of the way
OF one of Pop Eyler's slow benders in
the eighth inning and the ball hit him in
the jaw cutting a hole clear though his
lip where the ball pushed it against his
teeth. Mac let the butcher run for him
and then went in and pitched out the
game. The Saints thought Mac would lose
his nerve after his accident, but they
reckoned wrong, for in spite OF Dolan's
two errors, they made but one hit in the
ninth and scored but one more run.
The Champs started of like winners
in the first inning after the Saints had
been disposed Of one-two-three. Thiel
opened the bail with double to left. was
sacrificed to third by Carter and scored
on a passed ball. Three more were added
combination Of bases on balls, hits and
an error.
Gonding started the fun by a hit to left
for single base and McC1oskey forced
him out at second by a grounder 10 Pop
Eyler. Thiel and Carter each walked
by the ancient Jonah of the Champs and
Dolan hit a hard drive at Schilz which
the latter kicked around the diamond until
both McCloskey and Thiel had scored.
wild pitch advanced Carter and Dolan
each base and Carter was brought home
by Welch's drive to left for a single.
Pitches Just Nine Balls.
In the third inning McCloskey performed
the remarkable feat of striking out all
three men by pitching Just three balls to
each. Nine balls pitched to retire the
side In the next inning Ketchem popped
Texas Lacquer over third for the first
hit of the game for the Saints. In the
seventh inning McCloskey hit Pencil for
an opener and struck out McGilvray.
Quillin doubled and scored PennelI and
was brought home himself on Andrews
single toward Carter.
Ten men were up for the Champs in
the eighth inning and yet but four scored
McCloskey was hit in the jaw as the first
man up and the next five men straight hit
hunts which should have been captured.
but for some misunderstanding between
Pop Eyler and jay Andrews These two
colts seemed to get ratified when the ball
was hunted at them with men on bases and
each time Andrews would run back to cover
his base and no one went after the ball
each trusting implicitly in the other to

The Saints added one In the ninth after
McCloskey had let down a little because
OF his crack on the jaw, and because of
Dolan's two errors. neat double how
ever settled all trouble. Martin went wav
up In the air after Dexter's liner and then
caught Quillin before he could get hack
to third. Martin made two of these hit
stopping catches in the game and Toe
Dolan made another with one hand that
was wonder. WEIGH Just missed one
after hard run in the seventh inning
The same teams will play again this
afternoon. and Jones, the star pitcher of
the Saints twirling stan, probably will,
be sent in against Eddie Quick. Attend
