(From Sundays Advertiser)
In a fast ten-inning game in which
there was plenty of excitement, the
Picked Team defeated the ST. Louis
champions yesterday by score of AS.
The game was well played all through,
though in the eighth and ninth innings
errors on the part of the Saints were
responsible for the runs which brought
them out at the bottom of the heap
The Saints were unable to hit Hamp-
ton hard when there were men on
bases and lost on this account, as
they should have made many more runs
than they did.
Bushnell pitched a good game. keeps
ing the hits down in fine shape, but
grew tired toward the end and let up
considerably. Both pitchers We're wild
and gave numerous bases on balls.
The star of the game was Evers, who
played at short for the Saints. In both
fielding and throwing he was at his
best. The way in which he caught
Darcy's hard liner in the sixth was a
NOuuSI. Ilt was lASty lAAS SAtSC III anu
had just time TO throw himself forward
and pick the ball up few inches from
the ground, making a catch which
would ordinarily be called impossible.
En- Sue, who took Ayletts place in
center, did some pretty work, pulling
down one fly off Vannatta's bat which
looked to be absolutely safe. Jones
caught fine game and Bruins did we'll
behind the bat when it is considered
how little practise he has had in this
position
Jimmy Williams was star on bases
and played his usual game at second.
Johnny Williams played good game
at third, making some fine stops,
though he missed couple which he
should have had. His batting was the
cause of two runs which the Saints
got in.
All considered, the game was unusual
ly interesting, and the extra inning
brought out all manner of roofing,
which set both teams on edge to do
their best. a hit, just at the right
time, by Hampton, brought Danny
Lemon in, and if it had been neces-
sary for another run, Lyman would
have scored also. The game by in
