1t was not a pleasant thing to see Glade
being hammered by those ponderous ath-
letes from the capital. Fred is too good
finger to be made a toy for the occasional
frivolities of Stahls Mountain Climbers.
Perhaps II would have been better to have
relieved Fred after the third inning, when
he showed evident signs OF weakening.
Glade is rarely forced to retire In favor OF

beat him yesterday, but a good-natured
pounding.-St. Louis Republic.

tenderly laid away some OF the best In tno
circuit But no reasonable fan will ever ex-
pect the locals to dispose OF the animated
bean string who wrecked the fair hopes In

terry of a strange combination or deliveries
SO thickly over the nimble Brownies that
only four of them were able to negotiate
base hit off the tall and abnormally slender
recruit.--St Louis Globe-Democrat.
