BASEBALL TODAY
SHOULD Be FAST
Two Good Games to Be Seen
at League Grounds This
Afternoon.

There will certainly be things doing
today at the league baseball grounds.
Two fast games, in which the Saint
Louis team and Captain Eddie Fernan-
dez' picked team will be seen playing
against the teams from the West vir-
ginia and Colorado. should be temp
tation which Will bring out the fans in
great shape.
The first game will commence
promptly at . o'clock, and will be be-
tween the picked team which defeated
the Maryland nine yesterday and the
crew from the cruiser Colorado. The
Colorado is said TO have team which
can more than hold its own in the
diamond and has a strong pitcher. In
this one point the teams which played
yesterday were lacking, and a good
artist in the box will go far toward
victory.
The second game will be between the
St. Louis champions and the nine from
the flagship of the fleet, the West vir-
ginia. Bushnell will probably be in the
box for the Saints, and the sailors will
have a better chance to hit his offer
ings than did the Pennsylvania to
land on Reuters. Davis will probably
be seen behind the bat. as with Soares
laid up it means that the local teams
are very shy of catchers and 1t would
be asking almost too much to have
Jones try to handle both games.
Reuter- will probably be seen as the
pitcher for the picked team today, with
Hampton to fall back on in case the
strain of two games on successive days
Is too much for him, The local men
should win today. as they did yester-
day, as the sailors have not had a
chance for any practise for three
months, with the exception of that
which they got in the two or three days
they were in Yokohama.

this inning and got as far as second

tween second and third, however, and
no runs were scored.

second, scoring Evers. Lo On was hit

one at the Penns' third baseman,
which he failed to hold, and took sec

went through some monkey tricks and
then dropped beautiful bunt beside
the plate and was safe at first, with
Reuter- on third. Pat stole second.
Soares came to the bat and was hit

on the bases. This filled the bases.
Evers hunted, forcing Reuter- out at

in great shape.
