The Young Mems Christian association
| team added another victory to their list
Saturday afternoon, by winning from the
| Chicago Great Western railroad team,
game that was .--.siv interesting to the
last. st. Paul led at bat. and scored two
runs in the first inning. The home boys
found the leather for all kinds of hits,
but the neat fielding of the visitors pre-
vented them from getting any farther
than third base until the fourth in
ming, when Plymat stole to second, from
secondato third and was then let in by
single to left field by Nicholson. The
boys from the city were compelled to
rest for a while on their laurels won in
the first, for in the second, two men
were caught out at first and the third
perforated the atmosphere, as did the
three following in the third inning. One
foul and two fly catches retired the WIS.,
itOrs in the fourth. Olsen went first to
bat in the fifth but didn't accomplish
much, Webster touched the ball for a
little foul that rolled into the diamond
and was surprised to find that Catcher
Rabe recovered the ball and touched
him before he could drop his bat. Mae
Dermott got single but was put out in
attempting to steal second.
w. Rabe, Giblin, Plymat and H. Rabe
got single drives, Krost walked, but none
of them reached home.
The visitors got man to third in
the sixth but he died there. Nicholson
and Williams punctured the air, Conklin
walked, advanced to third on passed
balls and in the same manner pranced
home Just before Sheldon was caught out
on fly.
With the score tied, the Sanity boys
gathered up all their energies for final
squirt. Peterson famed, Smithe went out
at first, Olson got single, was advanced
to third by Webster's two Dagger and
three Dagger by MacDermott let them
in but w. Rabe and Williams caught
him mapping and very neatly dispatched
him at third when he was attempting to
run home.
The event brought nothing for the WIS.,
itors, but nearly every man on the home
team got whack at the ball. With
Giblin and III. Rabe on third and second,
Krost landed fine three Dagger, Ply
mat walked, sneaked around to second
and when Williams drove out long sim
gle to right field, two more scores were
brought in. Williams went out at Sec
ond on forced run.
No more scores were made by the c.
G. w. boys, but one run more was
brought in for the Y. NJ. c. A. by Giblin,
in the eighth making the score to 4.
w. Rabe struck out six men and pass
ed three; Olson and Shirley, pitchers for
the visitors, struck out three men and
walked six.
