HENLEY ALLOWS
BUT ONE SINGLE
SpaIdings Defeat the st. Louis
Team by Score of
7 TO 2.

The game played yesterday after
noon between the st. Louis Alumni
team and the Spaldfngs was rather
poor in some features, though every
moment was interesting to the spec
tators. There was a fairly good sized
crowd present to watch the contest,
but it did not terminate as they de-
sired. the Spaldings winning by
score of to 2. In the fourth inning
alone the Saints were able to score,
and then only through errors, as Hen
ley pitched a magnificent game, al
lowing only one hit, which was made
by Jimmy Williams.
Barney pitched for the local team
and did fairly well In the box, but
did not receive the best of support and
did not handle the ball well in the
rsfieId, being responsible for several of
1.-THE runs through wild throwing.
Soares caught, and did far better than
he has in any game this season. His
throwing to bases was rather wild and
let in several runs. The hero of the
day among the local men was located
in left field, Bushnell He played a
magnificent game, and caught every
runs and pretty catches several times,
that brought out loud applause.
Henley pitched such fine ball that
the Saints were sorry that they had
not allowed Burns in the box. With
clean support, the Saints would never
have got beyond first base in the en-
tire nine innings. He had speed TO
burn, and Jack Bliss, who was behind
the bat, found this out, as he received
three foul tips on his mask during the
game, besides one almost on his
throat, and was almost all in when
the end of the game came. The speed
that Henley used was more than the
local men could stand up to, and one
after the other they walked away
from the ball as they hit at it.
The crowd present was strong fol-
the Saints, and when Umpire Bill
Vannatta made decision against the
favorites there were loud bowls. Van
malta did well. considering the fact
that he has not had much expert
ence with the indicator. In one or
two cases he made breaks, but was,
in the main. very satisfactory.
